Tuesday, March 21, 1939 Six The Capital Journal, Salem, Oregoa Webfoots Square Off Against Oklahoma Squad Tonight Sluts and Scratches B; Trt4 Zlmnurmua Capital Journal Sports Editor If Peoria, HI, hu hall of fame, they are probably preparing a couple of niche for two native sons who have done well In "foreign fields" Howard Maple of Willamette and Harold Hauk of Salem high Tla Wil lamette. Both young men are pro duel! of Peoria and came west to se cure their college education. "Mapee" went to 060 and Hauk cast his for tunes with the Bearcats. The former won the Northwest conference bas ketball title this spring while Hauk's preppers demonstrated a great brand of hoop playing to annex the state crown. The two men showed Initia tive when they decided to get out of the "Sucker" state and head to ward the west. Salem is fortunate in having coaches of their ability and standing to ride herd over the young er generation. Ructions from the Mth an nul U ornament are beginning ta arrive via the exchange table. John Hogg, sporu writer the Baker Democrat Herald paints at: The Salem-Baker game . . was the reogneet It has been the dii pleasure of these eyes te see. It was not the fact that the ref erees. Took Hodgens and Jack Lloyd of Echo and Imbler, were calling fools on the Baker team. It was the fact that they were not calling fools on any aggregation. Hodgens and LJoyd are good fel lows . but almost everyone I talked to mentioned that the refereelng they did was the wont of the day. The Salem Vikings have a great team, there la little doobi abort It, and they do a lot of hard checking and close checking that la extremely both ersome to the opposing team. Had Pilose and Henlgea, who wen released ta officiate the 'Oregon-California series, been allowed to referee as they were opposed to at first, it la my firm conviction that the Bulldogs would have played in the final game.1 Everybody Is entitled to his con victions, but the score book shows that twice as many fouls wen called gainst Salem as against the Bull dogs. The fouls were largely due to the fact that Hauk's boys were trying to stop Co loon, who, despite their ef forts, plied up a total of 31 points. Including nine free tosses. Lloyd and Hodgens called 34 fouls In the Salem Baker fame, which la slightly more than the average for the entire series. During' the 37 games 640 fouls were called by the five officials, or an average of exactly 30 per contest The most fouls were whistled down during the Aatorla-Corvallia game when Hentges and Coleman called 31 Infractions. There was no doubt but that the Salem-Baker contest was a free-wheeling affair, but when 18 fouls are tabulated against the win ners as against eight for the losers, there can be little grounds for Intim idation that favoritism was shown. Calling of a fool en gnslck. North Bend guard. In the final second of the game against Med ford, to our mind, was one of the poorest bits of officiating of the tournament. That a fool waa committed we do not question, bat In view of the fact that so many more flagrant infractions had been overlooked, made the one called against Susick seem trivial to my the least. This waa especially true In view of the closeness of the fool and the gun. Throwing the affair Into an over time period would have been much to be preferred. (Some one giro mo a whistle).

Little Chats about your Health 'TOO BUSY" Cicero said "A man too busy to take care of his health Is like a mechanic too busy to take care of his tools". It la also true that though the mechanic can buy new tools, the man who has lost his health often finds that money hasnt the power to bring It back. It Illness threatens or you feel that careful physical examina tion by your physician may be the means of paving the way to better health dont let the "too busy" Idea stand In the way. A few minutes spent with your physician occasionally may add a few years to your Ufa. Olve your physician every opportunity to help you preserve your health. Tour interests and his are Identical.

Capital Drug Store Corner SUU and Liberty Sta. rhone 3118 Oregon Drubs Texas, 56-4 1 r First Round San Francisco, March 31 VP Uni versity of Oregon's Pacific Coast conference champions crash with a powerful University of Oklahoma team tonight to decide a western di vision winner to play Ohio State at Chicago March 37 for the national collegiate athletic asaoclstlon cham pionship. Oregon whipped University of Texas, M to 41, in last night's semi finals, and Oklahoma, leaders of the Big Six, eliminated Utah. State Ag ricultural college, 60 to 39. Texas, which lost only four of 33 games In winning the Southwest conference title, was obviously out classed by the tall Oregonlans. Oregon led at the half, 19 to IS, and after that pulled away with For ward John Dick, Guard Wally Jo hansen and Center Urgel (Slim) Wlntermute sipping In field goals from all angles. Laddie Oale, the Oregon forward who led the northern division of the conference in scoring this season, tired badly and was replaced in each half. High scorer was Winter- mute, a six-foot-eight boy who was outstanding In the tight defensive play that held the Texans to a single field goal In the first 13 minutes. The Texans were forced to try long shots when they could not work the ball through the tight Oregon defense. Midway In the second half Oregon held a 19-potnt lead. Oklahoma impressed the crowd of 3000 gathered In the coliseum at the Golden Oate exposition with amaz ing ball control and a fast-breaking offense. The Oklahomans were a head at half time, 34 to 14, and dominated the game throughout ex cept for a time early In the contest when the score was deadlocked at 10-10. The Texans made a fight of It even after Oregon appeared safely In front. Held to one point for six minutes they trailed by seven points when they put their first rally In motion. Again Oregon pulled away and stretched Its margin to 10-6 when Bob Moers, all-8outhwest con ference guard, flagged the Texans to a drive that chopped Oregon's lead to one point shortly before the half ended. Oregon took command In the sec ond half with John Dick, forward, and Wally Johansen teaming with Wlntermute in a scoring display that soon removed all doubt as to the winner, ,.

B'dwr 0421 ft)RTLAND, OH I GO Indians Need Lady Luck to Finish Higher By Cayle Talbot New Orleans, March 31 VP) A two-day study of the Cleveland In diana has convinced me they will need plenty of luck to finish as high in the coming American league race as they did in the last, when they wound up third after buckling In the latter stages. t "I'm pretty certain T saw three clubs In Florida New York, Boston and Detroit that will take the In dians' measure. Their once great pitching staff la beginning to fall apart, and they still are Inadequate at second base and shortstop. The Indians for the past several seasons have been able to count upon Mel Harder, Johnny Allen and Bob Feller to give them brilliant pitching on about three days out of four. But now it looks to me like they've lost Allen, and that's a blow they can't survive. Allen hurt his arm pitching in the last all-star game at Cincinnati after having set a phenomenal rec ord for the first half of the season. During the winter they split open his elbow and removed one of those "spurs" that have become fashion able with our tossers. Even If by some miracle the wing finally comes back completely, Allen won't be ready to pitch before the first of May. The team's veteran shortstop, Lyn Lary, a holdout, finally pulled Into camp yesterday and signed his 1939 contract, but his position seems to be occupied by Jimmy "Skeeter" Webb, of Meridian, Miss.

Issuance or suits and a light work-out was In prospect for this afternoon. Baseball has been at a low ebb In high school circles, evidently reflecting the at titude of the entire community and the turning of the Junior high ath letic departments from hard ball to the softball variety. Jack Gosser, member of last year's mound staff, will probably be asked to carry the pitching burden this season. LeRoy Bright, one of last year's mainstays, has graduated and will try his luck with Willamette. Other chuckers may be found or de veloped, but at the present Coach Hauk doesn't know who they are.
