THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 193t b( it Ir let ra ho BELLFOUNTAIN SLOW TO START, DEFEATED 34-25 If they paid off on the last three periods alone in basketball Bellfoun tain would Indeed have lived up to the role of "giant killers." Fortun ately, however, for Corvallis, the rules still recognize the initial quar ter and the Spartans remained in the running for the championship of the state basketball tournament by defeating the class "B" title hold ers 34 to 25 in a stirring battle on Willamette's flour Friday night. Un able to get their hands on the ball except momentarily and failure to solve a set play worked by Corvallis to perfection, proved extremely cost ly to Coach Litchfield's boys In the first period. And at the end of the Initial eight minutes the Spartans had eight points to exactly one goose eg? for Bellfountain. The "giant killers" matched point for point with the smoothly working Spartans in the second period; fell slightly behind In the third and then went on to outscore them In the final stretch. At half time Corvallis was leading 18-8 and at half time it was 26 to 14. It was the long shots of little "Pinkey" Buckingham, per haps the smallest youngster in the entire tournament, who kept his squad in the running during the last period. Firing from long range, he potted four baskets in about six min utes. Coach Torson's players displayed the same marvelous ball handling which characterized their play in swamping Ashland In the first round and dethroning Astoria in the sec ond. The scoring was evenly divided between Kruger, Warren, Pflugrad and Blackledge. The gymnasium was packed al most to capacity for the double bill, The summary: Corvallis (34) FG FT PF Pflugrade, F 3 2 Blackledge, F 3 0 Warren, C 4 0 Kruger, G 4 2 Crockett, G 1 0 Totals 15 4 3 Bellfountain (25) Larkln, F 1 0 0 Buckingham, F 5 0 2 Kessler, C 2 0 I Wallace, C 4 0 2 Hlnton, G 0. 1 0 Totals 12 I 5 Officials, Coleman and Leeding.

(Associated Press Photo) SARPOLA TAKES SCORING LEAD Ted Sarpola, two-year all-state forward of the Astoria Fishermen, grabbed the scoring leadership of the tournament yesterday afternoon when he counted 27 points against Myrtle Creek. Sarpola scored 41 points in his first three games to hold a narrow lead over Moore of Tillamook who had 40 Hansen of Franklin held third place with 38, while Kessler, Bellfountain, leader the first two days, dropiwd into a tie with Krueger, Corvallis, for fourth. Each of the latter had 34. Skopil of Salem stood sixth with 31. The Astoria-Myrtle Creek game came closer to being a record-breaker than any of the others, though it wasn't interesting to watch. One record was tied, when Sarpola scored 27 points to equal the. all time record set by Howell of Ash land in 1031. Astoria came within five points of equalling the high scoring mark of 65 for a single game set by Eugene against Joseph in 1022, and the game itself with HIS points made in all did set a record, surpassing the Salem-Joseph tilt of 1026. The score of that game was Salem 61, Joseph 22. Other high lights yesterday saw Freeman of Oregon City set a mark for the present moot by sinking sev en straight free tosses, while Cap. tain Flsk of McLoughlln dropped in eight of nine tries. Oregon City continued to lead the personal foul column, setting the high mark for this year with 10 against Tillamook. The Pioneers, with 46 fouls charged against them, lead the pack in that respect. Bell fountain had only 11 personals reg istered against them in three games. Tillamook has tried the most frco throws, 52, and has made the best average of the teams still in the meet. The Checscmakers have made 31 tries good. Benson still trails the field In making free throws, making only 15 of 43 good. Two four-game records may be broken today. Corvallis needs only to score 32 points against Franklin to beat the 160 point high scoring mark now held Jointly by Astoria and Nehalem, while Sarpola can break the record of 58 points for four games, now held by Scott of Silverton, by making 18 counters against Tillamook. Two Groups Meet Central Howell The 4-H Cooking club and the 4-H Sewing club held short business meeting at tlic school house Wednesday alter which a general meeting was heln at which time plans were made for their program celebrating achieve ment day, which will take the place of the community club meeting for April.

Stanbrough told members of the Monmouth Lunch eon club some Interesting facts about archery at a recent meeting. He hailed the bow and arrow man's first invention, saying that it held a principle multiplying man's native strength quite a little in ad vance of the stone knives and war clubs. Drawings of bows and ar rows, he said, appear in the first specimens of drawings made by primitive men. Only in Australia was the bow not developed as a war implement. The Australians have light bows made for shooting birds, but they depend on the boomerang as an Instrument of personal de fense. He told Robin Hood, of his ro manticised double, Lockley, "how they made the final test of an expert shot the piercing of a wand, loose In the wind, and the splitting of an arrow by striking twice in the same spot. These things are done nowadays, ac cidentally, said Mr. Stanbrough, and he doubted not the accidents of old en times, had in repented telling become something deliberate. Modern development and exploits in archery olso came in for com ment. He snid up to 15 years ago a flight of 300 yards was thought the limit of distance an arrow could be shot. When L. L. "Flight" Daily made his record of 350 yards in Se attle it was scoffed at until Doily went cast and in Chicago shot over 400 yards. Since that time a man from St. Louis has shot over 500 yards.

Peggy Myera and Dorothy Norden, Astoria Sets Record in Myrtle Cagers, 60-26 One all-time record for high scoring was established and this mark was threatened in turn as Astoria and Tilla mook raced through, over uregon uixy i-Tiaay auernoon. mew games were the most lopsided of the entire series and about the only In terest taken by the spectators was upon the size of the scores Ted Sar pola piled up by himself and by his mates collectively. Astoria, going Into high gear at the opening tip-off, ran away from the "B" di vision entrant 60 to 20. Tillamook did almost as well against Oregon City, defeating the Pioneers 53 to 19. Sarpola, participating In his .last MANGIN FAILS TO WORRY OVER TOO MUCH WORK Toronto, March 21 (P) Joe Man gan, who studies law at Cornell, plunks a banjo in his spare mom ents and runs mile races with con siderable success, evidently Isn't worried about the dtvnger of being "burned out" by too much competi tion in the Olympic year. While his winter rivals, Glenn Cunningham of Kansas and Gene Zenzke of Pennsylvania, remained Idle, Mangan has stepped out twice in the last few days to smash the Canadian mile record. After running a milo in 4:16.3 at Hamilton Wednesday, clipping three tenths of a second from Cunning ham's Canadian Indoor mark but losing to an opponent who had a 40-yard handicap, Mangan cut loose last night and won the mile feature at the Maple Leaf Gardens games in 4:16.2. Frank Nordell of the New York A. C, made a great effort to keep pace but faded at the finish and was third behind Bill Daley of De troit university. The sprinting feats of Helen Ste phens, lanky Fulton, Mo., farm girl, and the rivalry between the dusky speedsters, Eulace Peacock of Tem ple and Sammy Richardson of To ronto, furnished other features of the meet. Miss Stephens broke the Canadian record for the 60-yard dash In 6.9 seconds and equalled the 50-yard mark of six seconds flat. KOLOSSALS CRASH MC LOUGHLIN, 36-23 King's "Kolossals," otherwise known as the Franklin Quakers of Portland, won for themselves a spot in the finals of the state basketball tournament by defeating McLough lln high of Milton-Freewater' Fri day night, 36 to 23. The Pioneers put up a great fight through the first half but were unable to maintain their drive and they went down with flying colors. The Quakers lost two of their first stringers and the Pio neers one of theirs via the personal contact route before the final gun sounded. Mac high collected a six point lead early in the game but found them selves tied up at 9 all at the end of the quarter. Neither. Neither side held the advantage as the two teams trooped off the floor at the inter mission 16-all. Settling down to a more leisurely pace, Franklin gradually forged out in front with Hanson. Williams and Kemnltzer doing most of the dam age. The great fight put up by Fisk, spirited guards as he covered the floor like a blanket, won the cheers of the huge throng of spectators. Hansen collected 16 points for the winners before he went to the show ers. Franklin will meet Corvallis in the finals Saturday night at 8:30. The summary: McLoughlln (23) FG FT PF Monahan.

All told he col lected 13 field goals and one free shot. Kokko, who with Sarpola, was the only member of the Fisherman squad to play the entire 32 minutes, potted seven buckets and a gift shot. Astoria had the Mustangs down 21 to 6 at the quarter and 36 to 10 at the half. Copeland with 7 points and Marcum with 5, boosted Myrtle Creek's total materially during the second half. A feature of the Tillamook-Oregon City massacre was the failure of the Pioneers to sink a field goal un til well along in the third period The seven pointers collected In the first half were all from the gift line. Oregon City potted but three goals during the entire proceedings. Tillamook threatened the record just a few minutes earlier established by Astoria when the Rarey men ran up 15 points in the first period and 13 more in the second. Regaining their average of 15 points a quarter, Tillamook basketeers brought their total up to 45 at the three-quarter mark. They slowed up during the final a. minutes and were forced to content themselves with a total of 53. Walker added 15 points to his string for Tillamook while Moore collected 11.

OILERS AND MOYIE QUITS IN FINALS Denver, March 21 (If) The Mc pherson, Kas., Globe Refiners, the team which makes Its breaks and makes them fast, and the Hollywood, Calif., Universals, a team which re fuses to break, even under a strain, meet tonight for the national A.A. U. basketball championship, and the finger of destiny appeared to be pointing toward the mldwestern giants. The Globes climaxed their slash ing drive to the finals last night when they defeated the Santa Fes, 54 to 41, thus avenging a defeat suf fcre dat the hands fo the same team in the finals a year ago. The Universals, unimpressive in earlier starts, even in their defeat of the -favored Denver Safeways. showed a great defense and improv ed scoring punch in defeating Hut chinson. 45 to 16.

(Associated Press Photo) Skits and Scratches BY FRED ZIMMERMAN Capital Journal sports Editor Ted Sarpola, who appears to have copied Wally Palmberg's style of shooting, will conclude his prep school competition dur ing this tournament. Henry Kokko, husky center for the Astorians, . will have a half semester of competition left but will probably graduate In June. Where are they going from the Fisherman school? Neither Coach Emigh nor John Warren, Fresh man coach at Oregon and late of Astoria, would commit them selves. Incidentally Emigh is a graduate of Oregon State. Make your own bets. Evidently "Honest John" failed to transfer ownership in that famous necktie to Coach Emigh when the latter took over the Job at Astoria, In years gone by when Warren gen erally worked himself Into a front row bench for the final game of the tournament, his boys insisted that he always wear a necktie they had given him early in the season. A few of the occurrences which tended to make the inhabitants of the press box forget the hardness of the benches: Dave Johnson making Innumerable telephone calls over single busy line trying to keep his sweetie informed as to the exact mo ment he would go "on the air" as an Interpreter of the games. . . a couple in the balcony seeking a less con spicuous place in which to finish a bottle when the P.A, announcer asked a boy in the east bleachers to discontinue the use of a mirror in casting sunbeams into spectators' eyes; the balcony couple evidently misunderstood the announcer to say beer" . . . Tom Drynan, official timer, letting- his watch run down and then cutting one period to two minutes duration . . . John Kelly, Bearcat basketeer, using a long stick to prod the "automatic" scoreboard in the northeast comer so It would not tell a lie. REV. BRITTEN ILL - Monmouth Rev. Rodney M.
