By FRED ZIMMERMAN, Capital Journal Sports Editor
"Tinkeritis" is the description George Pasero of the Oregon
Journal gives to the activities of those folk who scheme to change
conditions in any given athletic endeavor. Pasero hints that per
sons high in the ranks of the Oregon School Activities association
are considering the trimming of the high school tournament from
one of 16 teams to one where but eight would be involved. The
proposal is not a new one, in fact it bobs up quite regularly after
those tournaments where the competition is not all that fans had
hoped for. And to be honest about the suggestion, it has some
merit.
Change Has Merit
If the experience of the hotel proprietors in Eugene has
been anything like the trials and tribulations of Salem inn
keepers, we imagine they would be in favor of cutting the
duration of the annual classic from five to three days. It
would be difficult for the hangers-on to do as much damage
In three days that customarily is accomplished in five. Then,
too, a shorter tournament would mean less lost time in the
classrooms, something educators would like to see brought
about. And while gate receipts would be cut materially
through installation of a three day production, expenses
would be trimmed accordingly. We do not believe receipts
would fall off on an a basis proportionate to the number of
days involved, for the big tournament crowds flock in after
it has been fairly well determined as to who's who in the
competition at hand.
Play Would Be Closer
Id all probability eight teams
basketball, on a consistent basis at least, than 16, since district
eliminations would tend to turn back the weaker clubs. And, if
it should prove desirable, a double elimination schedule could be
worked out for eight quints, a scheme that many believe, tends
to bring the real champions into
mean a tournament of approximately the same length as a straight
elimination affair involving 16
along democratic lines, will all member schools have a say in
the program, we see little likelihood of a change in the present
letup.
Basketball Ineptitude
Why is it some communities
good basketball players? There's Albany for instance, where
with the exception of an occasional season, turns out nothing
but losing quints. The school has an enrollment that is large
: enough to contain any number of first class cagers. But if
they are there they don't make their appearance on the maple
i boards. Tbe city is certainly athletically minded and year
after year produces fine football teams and almost every sea
son produces all that could be desired in baseball competition.
Any number of coaches have tried to produce at Albany, in
cluding Dwight Adams, who certainly knew his basketball,
: but the results have not been outstanding. Town interest
' is at a low ebb, as indicated recently when season tickets
were placed on sale, with less than 10 purchasers.
Wolf Howls
Says Dick Strite in the Eugene
can't be ignored. But it is nothing that a few victories can't cure.
After all, is it the business of anyone other than the University
of Oregon athletic department to look toward Gordon Ridings of
Columbia, Johnny Lewis of Willamette, or Bill Borcher of Marsh
field for a basketball coaching replacement?" So the wolves are
hot on the trail of "Honest John" a coach of many victories at
Astoria High as well as at the Webfoot institution of higher edu
cation. It was ever thus. And we wouldn't be surprised to hear
murmurings to the effect that Slats Gill "isn't as sharp as he
used to be", and guff of similar vein if the Beavers should finish
the season in the lower division. Past performances rate virtually
nothing at all in the minds of many fans who are too prone to
Jump on with both, feet at the slightest provocation.

average to 16 tallies per tussle.
He had 256 points.
Dick Eicher of Eastern Wash

Conley with 280 counters and a

Hitting at a hotter clip than
all of these was Ted Loder of
Willamette. His average was
16.6, but covers only 12 games
to date. Evans has played in 16
games, Eicher 18 and Conley 20.
Keith Wade of Southern Ore

Burke. He had 239 tallies to
Burke's 237. Rod Gibbs of Puget

Stream Clearance Brings
Return of Steelheads
Steelhead of the Wilson ri

their ancestral spawning
grounds in Jordan creek, the
Oregon state game commis

A ponderous mass of logs
and debris had been accumu

the disastrous Tillamook burn
of 1933. Logging operations
which followed the fire added
to the debris until the stream
was obstructed from end to
end.
Miles of clear, graveled rif
fles in which the steelhead,
silver salmon and trout for
merly spawned and lived
were completely blocked and
covered by the fire-blackened
snags. Now after a cooperative
program by the state game and
fish commissions, the last bar
rier has been blasted away.
The clean-up of coasial
streams has been a major pro
ject for the game commission,
said Ted Howell, who is in
charge of fishways and
screens. Log jams have been
removed from Necanicum rlv-

a consistent high scorer for the
educators in the last two years,
