The CaoHal Journal, Salens Oregon Friday, March 21, 1941 Three Regulars May Be Absent from Senator Training Six Skits and Scratches By Fred Zimmerman Capital Journal Sport Editor The late state high school basket- bail tournament grossed better than (5000, Prof. Lestle Sparks, graduate manager, who was responsible lor the sale of tickets, the distribution of expense money to the several teams and similar additional de tails, reports. Just what the four- day series of 26 games netted the Oregon High School Activities as sociation will not be determined un til all bills have been checked. The (rross this year is several hundred dollars In excess of that of a year ago which reach ed a low for the past decade. Capacity of the gym. which hj, somewhat restricted, was not ex tended except for the semi finals Friday and the champion ship game Saturday night. Ticket sales those two nights were suspended because of lack of accommodations. Since Willamette realizes nothing out of the tournament from a fi nancial standpoint except bare ex penses, there Is little Incentive for the Institution to enlarge. This Is especially true In view of the fact that the present gymnasium is suf ficiently large for their own use Naturally, they would like to erect a building which would seat six or seven thousand persons, but a quar ter of a million dollars Is a lot of money, especially for an Institution that is not supported by taxation. The best bet Is the stadium at the fairgrounds, which could be converted Into a field house with removable floor. Parking accom modations there are ample for sev eral thousand cars. Enlarged seating capacity would mean a reduction in price which would enable more persons to witness the tournament We have the population In the cen tral Willamette valley to fill the stadium to capacity for every ses sion. Coach Flte Kramer's suggestion, reported In the Eugene Register Ouard, that a closer check be made upon the eligibility list of all star selectors. Is a ncly one. Why any one should take a hand In the se lections who Isn't authorized to do so Is beyond this writer. Still,' the situation Isn't as bad as some upstate writers would lead their readers to be lieve. During the balloting fol lowing last Saturday's luncheon 26 lists were handed In. Since It has been the practice for years to permit the 10 coaches, newspaper correspondents, game officials and memfcrs of tho board of eontrol, OHSAA, to participate, the 26 Is not out of line. Kramer, coach of the Eugene Axemen, does not believe that Paul OToole was entitled to all the rec ognltlon he received, although ad mitting he Is a good prospect. Un questionably OToole had quite an assortment of tricks, but to say that he was a better man than Eddie Salstrom of Salem, Roy Seeborg of Astoria, Sammy Crowell of North Bend or Marion Reginato of Klanv ath Falls, Is stretching the truth a bit. Kramer lists OToole of Columbia Prep, Seeborg of Astoria, Sammy Crowell of North Bend, Ed Dick of The Dalles and Marlon Reginato of Klamath Falls as the best five col lege prospects In ths tournament. Duck Pin Alleys Open Saturday The "B. & B." duck pin bowling alleys, recently installed In the Chambers building on North Rlgh street, will be open for public In spection Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock. V. E. Babcock and Frank Black, proprietors, have spared no efforts to make the place one of the - best of Its kind In the northwest, Duck pin bowling operates exact ly as the regulation type, although the equipment Is smaller in size. The proprietors state that this type of bowling Is Ideal for summer par ticipation, since the exertion Is not as great. However, It Is not a min iature affair and skill of operation Is Just as great as that of the larger alleys.

This raised, his tournament scoring mark to 67 in three games. Phillips overwhelmed the Los An geles Cllftons In the second half for a 43-31 triumph. Hollywood's victim, the last southern team In the tour ney, was Shreveport, La, Morris Dickson's, by a 47-38 score.

Beer Hank Luisetti Dorothy Worries Over Joe's New Position By Henry McLemore St. Petersburg, Fla., March 21 (U.R) She's young, she's pretty. She's happily married, and has a lovely baby, and there's money In the bank. But there's a fly In the ointment an infield fly in tne ointment because Mrs, Joe Gordon is not quite sure In her heart how her husband is going to handle anything hit Into Into the air or along the ground at his new position of first base with the New York Yankees. President Ed Barrow of the Yank ees Is sure Gordon Is going to be a brilliant first baseman. So Is Man ager Joe McCarthy, and so Is Gor don himself. But Mrs. Gordon well, let Dorothy speak for herself. "Just when Joe was getting to be such a good second baseman that I could go to the Yankee games and relax, they go and change him to first base. He's tickled to death to Snow Expected in Oregon Cascades bt th Aifoe!ttd Pthi) Moderate snow squalls are ex- pected in the Oregon Cascade range winter sports areas this week-end with temperatures slightly higher In both Oregon and Washington.

Viking Juniors Lose in Portland Nosed out by the Roosevelt Jun iors, 34 to S3, the Junior Vikings were eliminated from further com petition In the Golden Ball basket ball tournament at Peninsular park, Portland, last night.

Dunaway, team. For two years straight the 17 - year - old L.S.U. freshman who have a try at the new position, but I'm not so sure about It yet. Noth ing made me nervous when Joe was on second. I had seen him there so much that I knew he was capable of handling any sort of a ball hit to him. Even in a -world series game I was perfectly calm when he scooted to his right or to his left, or when he had a chance for a double play, or when he went way back for a fly. Now, they have moved him to strange place and I'll have to start worrying about him Just as I did when he was learning to be a good second baseman. I'll be the most fidgety of all the wives In the Yankee stadium this summer, I'll bet you that." Dorothy said her suffering al ready had started down here in spring training. "I saw Joe In an exhibition game a few days ago," she told me, "and It was hard for me to believe that that was my Joe, bouncing around doing the wrong thing. I thought I would keel over when I saw him come charging In to handle a slow ball hit to the left of the pitcher, which by all baseball rights belong ed to the second baseman. There was my Joe racing toward tne Dan, and there was first base with nobody near it. Of course, he's learning every day, and I know that by the time he gets to the Yankee stadium for the opening of the sea son, hell soon be as good at first as he was at second."

MOSER & SON Joe Continues Bum of Month Fist Campaign By Charles Dnnkley Detroit, Mich, March 31 (IPh "How long will it last?" That old, familiar chant waa heard today with Joe Louis, carry lng on with what Is described aa his "bum-of-the-month" campaign, expected to blast the championship aspirations of ponderous Able Sim on tonight. The battle, set for 30 rounds or less in Olympla arena, la jokingly or otherwise called the 19th defense Louis la making of his world's hea vyweight championship since he , won it from James J. Braddock In ' Comlskey Park, Chicago, back In June, 1937. The chant Btarted In Boston last December when the Brown Bomber beat Al McCoy so unmercifully he was unable to answer the bell for the sixth, round. It was next heard in New York where stout-hearted Red Burman yielded in five rounds. Next' In Philadelphia where the battle-worn Ous Dorazio fell on his face, completely knocked out, In two rounds, As the hour of the bout approach ed there was no one, with the ex ception of Simon and his manager, Jimmy Johnston, who conceded ponderous Abe a chance. Simon stuck to his conviction that he nev er had been hurt by a blow and did not believe Louis could do It, either. He figured the champion would tire from throwing his punch es and that he, Simon, would then come on to win. The fight will be broadcast over KEX heirinnlnff at 7 o'clock. , s T Chemawa All-Stars Take First Game By defeating Simmons Insurance 45 to 41 last night on the Leslie Junior high school court, the Che mawa All Stars took a one game lead In the series to determine the championship of the City basket ball league.
