Mt. Angel Hits Woodburn
To Enter District Finals
Gene Battett's Mt. Angel
Preps won the right to meet the
Salem high Vikings for the Dis
trict 11 crown and a berth In the
state tournament Monday night
by ousting Woodburn (rom the
district competition, 49-39.
Ken Faysano's long range ac
curacy kept the Preps in the
game during the first half Mon
day night when the Bulldogs put
on their show. In the first per
iod, Payseno collected nine
points and he added four more In
the second quarter. His team
mates collected only nine during
the same two periods.
But in the third period,
starting with a 22-23 disad
vantage, tlie Preps caught fire.
Big Norb Wellman, center for
the Mt. Angel team, was the
pearhead of the rebounding
Preps. Playing his best game
of the tournament, Wellman
dominated the backboards and
collected nine points during
the second half uprising.
But the sure-fire shots of
Payseno from 30 and 35 feet out
went a long way to establish the
10-polnt margin, of victory for
the Preps, champions of the
Willamette valley league.
When Woodburn's defense
moved out to tangle with Pay
seno and slippery Francis Don
ley, the other Mt. Angel first
string guard, Wellman and Dave
Ebner, a lanky forward, went
into operation under the hoop.
To reach the finals against
Salem, Mt. Angel defeated
Silverton, Stayton and Wood
burn after taking a first round
loss at the hands of the upset
masters from Stayton.
The Vikings, undefeated in
the double elimination district
play, have defeated Sacred
Heart and Woodburn to reach
the finals.

Mighty Old Casey
Came to Bat
St. Petersburg, Fla., March 7
(U.R) Mighty Old Casey came to
bat today for the New York
Yankees.
"We're the champions," he
said. "The world champions
They have to beat us. We've
beaten them. So we know we

we are going to do. I
So, Manager Casey Stengel of
the New York Yankees claims,
there's going to be another
American league pennant and
world championship flag flying
from Yankee Stadium this year.
"How can we miss," he asked.
"Look at our ball club. We have
the players, we have the talent
and we have .the spirit the old
Yankee spirit. And that's just
combination you can't whip."

New York, March 7 m The
Braves of, Bradley university
were an overwhelming choice to
day as the nation's No. 1 college
basketball team in the final As
sociated Press poll of the season.
Now all the classy club from
Peoria, 111., has to do is show the
basketball public that the na
tion's sports writers and broad
casters were right in hoisting
them to the pinnacle via the
ballot.
Bradley, with a 27-3 record,
gets its chance to do just that
in the national invitation tour
nament beginning Saturday at
Madison Square Garden. In
addition, the Peoria lads have
further opportunity to cement
their claims in National Col
legiate Athletic association
competition.
Bradley will meet the winner
of the Big Seven conference
title either Nebraska, Kansas
State or Kansas March 20 at
Kansas City for the right to
represent district 5 in the NCAA
Western Regional tourney March
24-25
With a total of 206 votes cast
largest number of the season
in the weekly AP poll Bradley
copped 90 first place ballots and
a total of 1,802 points. A week
ago the Braves got only 42 votes
for first and 1,214 points.
Ohio State, which captured
the Big Ten crown and wound
up with a 19-3 record, remain
ed in second place with 1,435
points. Ohio State comes to
New York for the eastern
NCAA regional tourney,
March 23-25. The eastern and

for the national NCAA crown,
won by Kentucky last year.
Kentucky, moving fast now
after a shaky start this year,
By FRED ZIMMERMAN, Capital Journal Sports Editor
Upcoming Webfoots
moved" into third place in the
final poll. Kentucky was fourth
last week, and in a close point
battle with Holy Cross, dumped
the Crusaders from third to
fourth. Kentucky (24-5) and
winner of the Southeastern con
ference tourney last week, re
ceived 1,294 points, compared
to 1,238 for Holy Cross, which
dropped its only game of the
season Saturday to Columbia
after running up 26 straight vic
tories. Kentucky won the 1949
AP poll after compiling a 29-1
a stubbiefieid in an ever
creasing circle to locate
birds. '
When the spotlighter picks
out a bird, he keeps the strong
light on the bird. The jeep
with no headlights tears
through the stubble toward the
bird, the netter standing on the
jeep ready to go after the bird.
After a short flight, the bird
usually becomes confused by
the strong light and flutters to
the ground. The netters jump
to the ground and capture the
bird with nets.
The netters ' must be careful
not to Injure the brids which
are then transplanted miles
away. Banding has shown that
the birds do not come back but
stay out in the fields to provide
brood stock. .

A kid that is a hot shot contender during his prep days some
times withers under sterner competition when he reaches in
tercollegiate competition. But, it would seem that the Univer
sity of Oregon's basketball team will be the beneficiary of
lot of vitamin B in the nature of a number of sophomores.
These sonhomores-to-be recently finished one of the best fresh
man .seasons of cage competition in the historyof the Webfoot
institution. They piled up a total of 1131 points for a game av-
erage of 59.9. Individual scoring honors went to Chet Noe,
the 6 foot 7 eager who potted 85 field goals and 55 free throws
for a total of 225 points. He topped the previous high mark
turned in by. Laddy Gale of the 1936 freshman quint who caged
219 points. Other high scoring freshmen are Bud Covey, a
guard with 151, Nick Schmer, guard, 130, and Curt Barclay,
center, 106.
Another Sophomore Club
As sophomores, Willamette's Northwest conference cham
pions, amassed a total of 1568 points in 25 contests for an
average of 62.7. Biostered by the experience of the season
just concluded, they should make things pretty tough tor the
opposition next year. However, many adverse things can
happen between one season and the next and Coach John
ny Lewis is the last person who would count his chicks
before they start breaking through the shell. One thing
is certain, if the Bearcats were called upon to play a few
more games under officiating like that which governed
the session with Lewis & Clark, they would soon be able .
to score baskets under any and all conditions. And we
wouldn't draw the line at pig-a-back riding either. If and
when Johnny Lewis has a bad year, we would respectfully
ask that fair weather fans recall what happened during the
recent season. Good deeds are not long remembered in the
face of adverse conditions.
Legion Junior Baseball
Albany's invitation to stage the 1950 American Legion junior
baseball tournament has been accepted and the program will be
staged in the "Hub City'prior to August 16, with definite dates
yet to be named. League championships must be determined
not later than July 30 and the district title issue must be out of
the way by August 6. While no definite action was taken by the
department commission, it was recommended that all posts take
out blanket insurance for the youngsters involved. It was
pointed out that injuries do happen and if serious, a heavy fi
nancial outlay would be involved. Last year the Oregon de
partment, with 72 teams in action, ranked 25th on a nation
wide basis.
The field Narrows
Few spots remain to be filled m the 16 places of the an
nual Class A state high school tournament and backers of
their favorite clubs can go the limit in their speculations.
The lower bracket is completely filled with first round
competition on the following basis: Wednesday, 1:45 p.m.,
Seaside vs. Milton-Freewater; 3 p.m.. Bend vs. Grants Pass;
7:30 p.m., LaGrande vs. Roosevelt of Portland; 8:45 p.m.,
Eugene vs. Central Catholic of Portland. The upper bracket
will operate after this fashion: Tuesday, 7:30 p.m., Corval
IIs "vs. Milwaukie or West Linn; 8:15 p.m., Hillsboro vs.
' Marshfield; Thursday, 9 a.m., Jefferson (Portland) vs. Dal
las or Dayton; 10:15 a.m., Salem or Mt. Angel vs. Scappoose.
Marshfield's 5th Trip
Marshfield is making its fifth straight trip to the tournament,
thus threatening the repeater tactics of Salem and Astoria. The
Pirates under the tutelage of Coach Bill Borcher will undoubt
edly be tough, as will the two teams from Portland,, not to
mention Grants Pass, which gave the University of Oregon
Frosh their strongest opposition of the season from the ranks
of the preps. However, it may be that one of the lesser known
quints will provide the thrills and upsets that usually bob up
during every tournament.
Willamette's Top Margin
There's no doubt but that Willamette's 94 points scored against
Lewis and Clark the other night constituted the high mark in
basketball for the Bearcats. However, the team that functioned
back in 1931 when Ed Cardinal, George Scales and Dwight
Adams were wearing the Cardinal and Old Gold colors, racked
up wins with the greatest point differences. They beat Pacific
that year, 88 to 15, and thumped Albany college, 88 to 28. Those
scores were whoppers for those days when the center jump was
still in effect. The previous year Willamette beat Linfield
56 to 7. Harold Hauk was playing his senior year under Coach
Spec Keene during that season. The check of the records was
made by Prof. Lestle Sparks, who remembers a lot of things
uiai Happened on the campus.

Bearcats Face Pilots
In NAIB District Final
Portland, Ore., March 7 (U.PJ
Portland university's Pilots and
the Willamette university Bear
cats, Northwest conference
champions, meet tonight in the
finals of the district 2 tourna
ment of the National Associa
tion of Intercollegiate Basket
ball.
The Portlanders took a 59 to
47 triumph last night over Sou
thern Oregon college's Red Raid
ers while Willamette edged by
Northern Idaho College of Edu
cation from Lewiston, 52 to 49.
The title game between
Portland and Willamette will
earn the winner a berth in the
national NAIB tourney at
Kansas City, Mo., next week.
Southern Oregon and North
ern Idaho will play for third
place in the playoffs tonight.
Coach Johnny Lewis started
his regular sophomore combina
tion and made but two substitu
tions, also second year men.
They took an early lead and at
half time had a 10 point, 37 to
27 bulge.
Then came the familiar

scoring drought that has :
plagued the Bearcats all sea
son. The Idahoans quickly '
closed the gap after the in
termission and then went
ahead 40 to 39 as Rollle Mc
Nair hit a gift shot.
Willamette didn't trail for
long, however, as Doug Logue
caged a gifter and Claude fiord
hill, a left handed a field goal
from the corner. The Bearcats
were never behind from then
on although the Loggers tied it
up at 44. With five minutes to
play Willamette held a 49 to 44
lead only to have Idaho close up
to within a single point 49 to 48.
Three free throws by Hugh
Bellinger in the final minute
iced the contest. In fact the
Bearcats won the game from
the foul line since they were
outscored in the field goal de
partment, 21 to 19. '
In the Pilots, Willamette
will meet a club that defeated
them twice during the regular

And that's just a combination
you can't whip."
Old Case admitted the lea
gue was going to be tougher
this year.
"The Red Sox will be tough
as usual. The Tigers are bet
ter. The Athletics are going
to be better. The White Sox
are going to give everybody
trouble. And there's always
Cleveland. We have to beat
'em all and it'll be a tough
job. But we'll do it."
And how Is he going to do
it?
Here's what he thinks:
An outfield of Joe DiMag
gio, Tommy Henrich and Dick
Wakefield. An infield of John
ny Mize, Jerry Coleman, Phil
Rizzuto and the two platoon
boys, Bobby Brown and BlHy
Johnson, alternating at third
base. Yogi Berra behind the
plate. Out there firing the
ball Vic Raschi, Allie Rey
nolds, Tommy Byrne and Ed
Lopat with the greatest relief
pitcher of our age, Joe Page,
In the bullpen, ready for any
emergency.
- "That's only our front line,"
Casey explained. "Look what
we have behind them. Fellows
like Hank Bauer, Gene Wood
ling, Cliff Mapes, George
Stlrnweiss, Joe Collins, Fred
Sanford, Frank Shea, Bob
Porterfield, Don Johnson,
Ralph Houk, Gus Niahros.
"There's just no end to the
talent we have.
"Last year at this time I
was wondering whether I had
25 all players. This spring
I'm wondering how I'm going
to pick the best 25 fellows
from the 44 I have here. My
only problem Is to pick the
best ones. It's going to be
tough cutting some of them
loose.
"Why I may have to cut
some fellows who helped ui
win the pennant last year.
"That's how many good
players I have here in camp.
"I guess there's only one
explanation this, Yankee uni
form. It does something to
a guy even me. How can
you lose when you're wearing
it?"
