Willamette really got down to bus iness In the second half, rolling in 30 points In 13 minutes while the best Joey Mack s crew could accom plish was two baskets by Tolefson.

But, before he departed ne explained why he needed a rest: MI am a tired old man,1 he said. "I have been writing this column day In and day out for seven years, excluding of course those few weeks but year when I was enilatng up and down the Mississippi flood waters In a rowboat writing eye-witness stories. It has been extreme ly bard work climbing op the long ataira to the polo grounds press box, riding steamships to Europe and flying all over the country. I am worn out.

But I know differently I've known him for more than seven years and if what he has been doing Is work. I'm willing to pay him for the privilege of doing It. In those seven yean, Mcta more has visited all 48 states In the union. He spent the past four months touring the coun try, finally winding np at Dar tona beach, where he spent more than a week viewing the sport scene from a distance and playing golf. He spent mora than a month in Hollywood Playing golf with Blng Crosby, hanging around the movie stu dios doing nothing but watch them make pictures. Of course, he wrote a column every day during that period Dot he calls that "work." In 1936, the Gulliver of the sport world spent three months in Europe. He visited Naples, Rome, Berlin, London, Paris and Vienna Two years before that he made a similar swing all in the line of duty. Early in 1937, he told his readers of the misery he was going through working out as a "rookie" with the St. Louis Cardinals. Ac tuaily, the real reason he wrote thst series was because Frankle Frlsch wouldn't let him talk to the Cardinals when he got a look at him. interriew aaid his Before be left, I ed McLemore.

George Wagner and Pat O 'Dowdy are booked for the feature match within the arena.

Shaw, who sometime ago broke, his own record for points scored In one season, will have one more chance to increase his re cord, which now stands at 197 for is gsmes. Pettyjohn has 160. which gives him a 10 point lead over Ben nett of Dallas, who is In third place with 150. The leaders are: Shaw, Woodburn 197 Pettyjohn, fillverton 160 Bennett, Dallas , 150 Whitman, Woodburn 136 Hartman.

Woodburn When the final whis tle blows Tuesday night, another Willamette Valley league basketball season will have passed Into history. ror tne second successive year Coach Bdon Cone's Woodburn Bulldogs nave completely dominated the lea' gue throughout, being undefeated In 13 gamea this year and also In their final 13 games last sesson for a rec ord of 36 consecutive wins. They have had the championship securely tucxea away for some time and Tuesday night's game with Chema wa will mean nothing as far as the championship la concerned as the Bulldogs could lose the contest and still finish three games ahead of SUverton, now In second place. Molalla's Buckaroos, who have played outstanding ball against the league's strong teams only to fall oeiore the weaker ones, will close their season at home with the Dal las Dragons forming the opposition, The Dragons started the season In strong fashion but fell down when they went Into the tough part of tneir schedule. Molalla, with a vet eras team on the floor, will have to guard the high scoring Dallas pair, Bennett and Dornhecker, If they expect to finish with an even slate with seven wins against the same number of losses. Canby high will go to SUverton where they are expected to suffer de feat No. 13 at the hands of the Foxes, who have played great ball all season. Klinger, Canby's aoe scor er, has forged to the front rapidly as a serious threat. West Linn will visit Independence for their final WVI league game. The Hopsters, led by Hartman and Linn, should have little trouble disposing of the Lions who have taken only one game so far. The Hopsters will be pointing for their clash with Dal las high later and may be upset. however. The Dragons and the Mort al en are tied at two wins each for the Polk county A championship and the right to go to the district tourney at McMlnnvllle March 10-13.
