Championship Basketball Slated for 8 O'clock Tonight
Ten
Sluts and
Scratches
B Fred Zimmerman
Capital Journal S porta Editor
Barold Hauk. coach of Salem
highs basketball crew, came home
from southern Oregon convinced
that the Medford Tigers will be no
"pushovers for anybody1' when they
enter the state tournament March
IS. The Tigers evidently were badly
off form when they played here
early In the year, Judging by the
results of the Medford series when
Hauks boys won the first and then
dropped the second game. News dls
patches gave the Idea that the two
games In Medford were extremely
rough, but Hauk denies this, saying
the contests were hard played af
fairs with both sides concentrating
upon winning. There were no off
color tactics so far as he was able
to determine.
By the way the teams stack
op now, Medford will go up ag
ainst either Dallas, Tillamook,
McMlnnvllle or Chemawa the
first day of the tournament. The
Tigers drew district No. 11,
which originally was represent
ed by the first team out of Port
land. Since the metropolitan
schools and the upstate variety
split the blankets. District No.
was given two entrants. District
sis comprises Msrion, Polk, Til
lamook, Washington and Yam
hill counties, represented last
year by Dallas and Woodbum.
That Beaver uprising against the
Webfoots at Corvallls Saturday night
nas started deep furrows in Coach
Howard Maple's brow. He reflects
that Oregon won 10 straight before
they stumbled over the Orangemen.
His own Bearcats have stretched the
victory string to 13 games and the
13th one Is tonight with Whitman
cast In the role of a possible Jinx.
Members of the Willamette squad,
however, say the figure 13 has no
extraordinary meaning for them
They feel confident of winning both
Whitman games and then finishing
up tne season by performing a sim
ilar trick against Pacific Friday and
Saturday nights. They admit they
looked none too good against the
CPS loggers In Tacoma last week,
but point to Insufficient lighting of
the gym as extenuating circumstances.
Whitman Club
Real Threat
To Bearcats
While they msy not be In the class
of Big BUI Anton when It comes to
height, those Whitman Missionaries
who tangle with Willamette's Bear
cats In two championship basketball
games tonight and Wednesday eve
ning, cannot be considered midgets
In any sense of the word. However,
regardless of the altitude of Coach
Nig Borleske's cagers, they are a
swift moving outfit and Invade Si'
lem with the idea of running the
legs off the 'Cats during the series
which may determine the Northwest
conference championship.
Coach Howard Maple's tone de
fense may bother the Missionaries
to some extent but with such long
range artists as Bullock and the Pe
pin brothers In the Whitman line
up, the visitors will not be stymied
to any extent. Bullock Is the leading
scorer of the Missionaries although
Webb has saved several games by
his ability to hit the bull's eye In
the clinch.
Whitman's starting lineup will
probably consist of Bullock and
Pepin, forwards; Gentry, center;
Heldenrelch and Webb, guards.
Coach Howard Maple plans to use
White, Eberly, Anton, Skopll and
Quesseth, although Johnny Kolb.
who has shown vast Improvement
In recent games, may be substituted
for one of the guards.
The Bearcats have won 12 straight
with Whitman coming up In the
13th spot, a fact which may mean
something or It may not.
The game each night will start at
g o'clock.

Chemawa Indians
Close WYI Season
Chemawa The Chemawa hlch
school Braves will close their WVI
league season at Independence Tues
day night. The game will not change
the standing of the Indians, as they
have cinched third place in the league,
but will determine the final standing
of Independence as they are tied with
Woodbum for last place In the
league with one win in thirteen
starts.
The game will afford the locals an
opportunity to extend two league
records which they have copped this
season. Backbone, already 45 points
up on the Individual scoring record,
will have a chance to raise his total
of 25 points. The former record was
206. The Braves have also bettered
the team scoring record of 563
points, set by the Woodbum team
last year. They have a total of 591
points to date In thirteen games.
Coach Gastlneau will devote the
rest of the regular playing season
to preparing the locals for the dis
trict tournament at Monmouth
Some of the "B" team members will
be moved up to the tournament
squad. The "B" team is the new
WVI league champion in their di
vision and have lost only one game
this season out of 18 played.

Hobson Drills
Webfoots for
Friday Game
Eugene, Ore., Feb. 21 W With
their first place security seriously
menaced, the Oregon Webfoots, de
fending champions of the northern
division basketball conference, at
tempted to recapture their deftness
In practice this week preparatory to
resuming the important series with
Oregon State here Friday night.
The conference leaders, who lost
to the Beavers In a one-sided contest
at Corvallls Saturday, were but a
game ahead of the second-place
Washington Huskies. Howard Hob-
son, Oregon coach, attributed his
team's crushing defeat to a com
bination of a Webfoot let-down and
Oregon State brilliance.
He reported Laddie Gale, ace for
ward whose hopes of a scoring re
cord were damaged when the Beav
era held him to three points, and
Wally Johansen, guard, would re
celve a rest because of minor Injur
ies suffered Saturday.
Hobson also threatened drastic
revision of his first-string lineup
unless the combination settled down
and showed definite Improvement In
practice.
The game with Oregon State will
be the last regular home appearance
for Oregon. The Webfoots conclude
the season with two games against
Washington at Seattle.
