Newspaper Page TextSkits and Scratches By Fred Zimmerman Capital Journal Sports Editor If one bases conclusions on the amount oi experience ol the players involved, then the Le banon Warriors should oe neara from next season, or more par ticularly so the following year For. of the squad of 10 players who forced Klamath Falls to extend itself to the limit in the recent tournament, six are soph ormores and have two years of scholastic competition ahead. Three are seniors and the other is a junior. Coach "Swede" Mullikin said this was the year for his Newberg quint if they were to annex a state title They didn't make the grade, ev en though they were strong enough to blast Salem's chances and then put a scare into the Pelicans in the semi-finals Five of the Tigers who met Hood River in the consolation tilt Saturday night are seniors. What about the champion Marshfield squad? Coach Bill Borcher loses just two men Dick Mobley and Bill O'Neal, Don Bruce, an important cog in the Pirate machine, has an other year. Borcher put a good team on the floor r.t Eugene one that showed the effects of coaching by an ex-Webtooter. Once in possession of the ball they wasted little time in mov ing down the floor. They will be dangerous next year. Klam ath Falls will be hit hard by graduation since eight ot the runners-up have completed their competition, Eugene loses seven and Coach Harold Hauk will need five replacements for Dick Allison, Roger Dasch, Dick Hendrle, Bill Hill and Dick Mase. Returning will be Hugh Bellinger, Dave Chamberlain, Carlos Houck, Jack Miller, Ralph Morgali and Waldo Un ruh. The Vik "B" string that went through the season unde- leaiea snouia provme a nice batch of recruits. "How come Newberg didn't rate higher than. Salem when it came to passing around the trophies?" several followers of the court game have inquired. It does seem a bit paradoxical that the Vikings, who were nosed by Newberg should wrap up the fourth place trophy while the Tigers, even "though they took part in the scrap for third position, scarcely rated. The ba sic reason rests in" the number of games a team wins or loses. The Vikings lost but a single contest out of four played, while Newberg suffered its second de feat at the hands of Hood River. A quint that is twice beaten is considered entirely out of the running. J "Couldn't have been improv ed upon," commented Vernon Gilmore, boys' physical director Ifor the Salem schools, as he an swered a question as to his im pression of the tournament. "It was an outstanding show in all department's, f mean no reflec tions against Willamette; they pimply didn't 'have the accom modations to care for the crowds." Gilmore praised the (iriaiuivi- in wmcn ine cugene tournament was organized and handled and the accommoda t i o n s provided the teams. J"There was no need for the teams to fight their way through k crowd in order to reach the dressing rooms, and once there, they were not bothered bv hangers on." Gilmore beeves ine ucKei prices were too high and expects the board of con trol to come down a bit next year. And now it's baseball, soft ball and track. Walt Erlckson, wno concludes his brief engage ment as a collegiate coach next June, takes his Bearcats out to George Alexander's big house at the end of State street next Saturday afternoon for their Initial aklrmish. rnn ,-- formance is scheduled for the Jollowing Saturday. Up to this week there was little chance to get outside and s. what rnuM be accomplished. Pitching seems io oe me Dig question mark. Harold Hauk will probably give his boys a week's rest be ore turning out for diamond Practice.

That is, the virtual collapsfe of mighty Ken tucky against Long Island uni versity in their national mvita- jlion basketball tourney game at Madison Square .Garden last night. Regarded as the top collegiate outfit in the United States, the Wildcats from the Bluegrass country blew a 19-point second half lead as LIU put on a thrill ing rally that tied the score at 62-all with 25 seconds left. It is a testimonial to- Ken tucky's class that two quick baskets by Wah-Wah Jones and Jack Tingle in the remaining 25 seconds gave the Wildcats a 66:62 triumph. Nevertheless for a team like Kentucky to lose a 19-point lead ,in the second half is tantamount to a col lapse. Gunnarson Hurls Winning Baseball Fullerton, Calif..
