Preps and (Eagles Score District Victories; Saturday Games Set Close Contests Mark Tourney Action Friday "When does the close one come?" That was Referee George Emigh's comment to the press box Friday night as he mopped his forehead during a time out period near the end of the second game. His comment was to the point. Silverton blew a 10 point edge during the final quarter of the first game as Mt. Angel staged a comeback to win, 36-33. Stayton took the 'nightcap from Sacred Heart. 35-31. . Every game in the District 11 tournament has been Just about as close except for the shellacking handed to the Cardi nals by Salem Wednesday night. Jack Kolln paced the Silver ton drive during the first three periods of the game by acting as a playmaker for the Foxes. But the Mt. Angels refused to toss in the sponge. Frances Donley, elusive guard for the Preps, chalked seven points in the final stanza, while Nob Wellman Mt. Angel center who went scoreless through the first three periods, collected four. Dave Ebner added three and Ken Peyseno two. The heat of the battle was measured by the final point add ed after a gunshot ended the game. Referee John Kolb called a technical foul on Silverton and Donley collected the point. In the second game, Stay ton upset pre-game dope for the second time In the tour ney by ousting Sacred Heart from competition by a single point. The Cards started strong, and by the quarter buzzer, they had posted a 14-8 lead. The Eagles, however, held the Cards to five points while they overtook them. Chuck Morgan put the Slayton team in front at the half by breaking a downcourt dfibble to shoot a field goal only a split second ahead of the buzzer. Jimmy Haynes, the Stayton sparkplug, flipped an almost Im possible shot over his shoulder to put the Eagles ahead at the end of the third period, 28-27. And it wss Haynes who cashed in on a gift shot when fouled by Richard Straudin ger to win the game for Stay ton. The foul came seconds before the end of the game and Wayne's shot broke 34-all tie. Friday night's victors go to the post Saturday at 7:00 p.m. in fourth round action while Sa lem high's Vikings and the Woodburn Bulldogs meet in the nightcap at 8:30.

Officials: Oeorge Emlgh and John Kolb. With the Northwest trophy already acquired, Willamette's cagers could easily have let down for their last game of the season Friday night against Lewis & Clark. But they didn't as a near capacity .audience of .partisan spectators will testify. The final score: W.illamelte 94, Lewis & Clark 70. It might as well have been 100 or more for Coach Johnny Lewis' Bearcats had he been inclined to pour it on. As it was, those 94 points constituted an all lime high for Willamette in Northwest confer ence competition. Coach Lewis decided to give the two senior members of his squad Al Fedje and Pete Bryant starting assignments against the Pioneers. Riding the bench much of the season while the sophomores were given the call, Fedje and Bryant came through with a rush. Fedje, husky red head, canned nine points during his approximately 11 minutes of competition in the first half, being particularly effective with a swinging jump shot from the key. The Pioneers "remained fairly close through 10 minutes of the first half but with Willamette's1 all sophomore squad on the floor the margin became more and more pronounced for the Lewis coached club. Willamette's fast break and maneuverability fre quently caught the Pioneers flat footed as they tired badly. At the half it was 50 to 31 with the scoring fairly well distributed. Big Bob Pollard of the Pio neers, who needed 25 points to Ex-Senators to Get Tryouts in Beaver Contest Riverside, Calif., March 4 W.PJ Manager Bill Sweeney said to day that he will try out a trio of rookie pitchers when h I s Portland Beavers clash with Sacramento in a practice game at Anaheim Sunday.

He did better after the intermis sion and came up with 19 for the entire session, a mark that was equalled by Ted Loder. Pollard went out on fouls near the end, thus completing his collegiate competition. Willamette's customary scor inc lapse came 12 minutes throuch the second half after they had piled up an 83 to 46 Vik Grapplers Place 15 for State Tournament Salem high school qualified 15 men for the state wrestling tour nament at Corvallis March 10 and 11 when the Viking matmen took first place in district com. petition at Albany Friday night.

Washington State meets UCLA at Los Angeles March 10-11, and if necessary March 13, for the conference title. Meanwhile, at Seattle, no body in the University of Washington's Hec Edmundson pavilion knew about the Mos cow score while the long foundering Washington Hus kies kayoed the hopes of de fending Champion Oregon State, 47-45. The loss put the OSC Beavers three games down to WSC, with only one to go for each club. It took the Cougars until the last four minutes to elbow their way into the lead for good against Idaho. They d held a slim 17-16 halftime lead, but trailed, 31-30 with four minutes; still left on the clock. Then Ed Gayda, the Cougars' "Mr. Basketball," took charge.

Oregon's basketball coach, has gone to Palm Springs for a period where it is hoped the warm sunshine will wipe out all traces of a recent attack of virus pneumonia. In view of the pressure that most athletic coaches undergo during the season of competition, it might be a good idea to set up a rest home for the entire lot. There, blood pressures could be reduced and the men regain some semblance of normalcy. They must be a hardy lot, for not too many of them succumb to the ravaees of heart disease, although most of them become directors of athletics before Father Time gathers them in. 'Honest John" to Remain "If they'll have me, I'd like to see what I can do with next year's squad. If I don't finish among the first three or the first two, I'll talk about retiring," was Warren's re ply to a point blank question submitted the Webfoot mentor by Dick: Strife of the Eugene Register Guard. Warren will have the services og a good group of 'boys who suffered just a single defeat as' freshmen during the season. In addi tion there will be a number of this year's varsity squad available, including Will Urban, Mel Streeter, Jim Calder- . wood, Jim Vranzian, Jack Keller, Mai Krause, John Neeley and Ernie Baldini. There is a possibility that Keith Far num may become eligible for competition next season. He is considered excellent material at Oregon and In all probability every effort will be made to improve his schol astic record. As for Warren's record since he took full charge in 1948 he has won 21 conference games and lost .27. . His overall mark is 39 wins and 48 defeats. y A Good Move Too many times when a public building is in the planning stage, those persons who must use its facilities are not cortM' suited until the job is completed. Such is not the case in cohv nection with Willamette university's proposed $100,000 Mc- Cullnch rranHstariH. Rnnrpplv hari the, Bnnniinp.mnnl Kaon by President G. Herbert Smith that the stadium would be built, when Travis Cross, head of the information department in vited scribes and sportcasters to go into a huddle concerning the press, and radio accommodations. Three alternate locations were proposed on the roof as of Multnomah stadium; suspend ed like the one at Sweetland field, or back of the top row of spectator seats such as Linfield built. The vote was unanimous for the rooftop location. The latter is easier to reach than the suspended type and is more adaptable to change or enlarg ment. Tentative plans call for two radio booths, one at either end, with accommodations for the writers in between. Insula tion to prevent noise leaks between the various departments will be provided by J. D. Campbell. Glass enclosed, the accomoda tions, while not the largest in the northwest will- be far super ior to anything Willamette has ever provided. Hauk Philosophizes Harold Hauk in his 11th season as basketball coach at Salem high has developed into quite a speech maker maybe headed for the Knife and Forkers, who knows. After 11 years of coaching, eating all sorts of meals and doing a lot of guessing, one either breaks down with ulcers or learns to talk without breaking into a sweat. Hauk appears to have avoided the ulcers. Speaking before the Salem Breakfast club,. Hauk philosophized over a variety of subjects, such as officials, so-called advantages, of the home floor and friendly crowds and the advantages of a player trying to win the game at hand rather than spending most of the time getting even with an opponent who persists in keeping his elbow in your ribs.
