Marshfield and Corvallis
Snag Wins in First Round
Eugene, March 15 Wi Ac
curacy on the foul shot line gave
Marshfield and Corvallis the
margins they needed for first
round victories in last night's
opening of the state class A high
school basketball tournament.
But the pirates from Coos Bay
had to fire two field goals in the
closing minute to win over
Hillsboro, 46 to 44, for rousing
finish to a night that earlier saw
Corvallis battle all the way to
edge Milwaukie, 39 to 37.
Both games were in doubt
up to the gun and kept 5,571
paying fans cheering their fa
vorites in one of the most
thrill-packed doubleheaders In '
the 32 years of the annual
championships.
Both losers topped the scoring
from the floor Milwaukie by
one basket and Hillsboro by
three but lagged on free
throws.
Twelve other district title
holders were lined up to com
pete first round action today
and tonight.

Says He Spurned Dodger
By FRANK ECK
(AP Newsfeatures Sporti Editor)
Clearwater, Fla. President
Bob Carpenter of the Philadel
phia Phillies gets a gleam in his
eyes at the mention of Granny
Hamner.
"I wouldn't trade him for
Brooklyn's shortstop Pee Wee
Reese, even though I've had sev
eral opportunities," the young
owner of the Phillies revealed.
"I've got to take Hamner over
Reese. Granny is only 22 years
old and Pee Wee is 30.
"Branch Rickey first of
fered me Reese for Hamner a
year and a half ago. I think
that Branch was serious when
he tried to make the deal. I
think he's always serious. He's
one of the most serious men
in baseball and Is so far ahead
of the rest of us it isn't even
funny.
"I appreciate Rickey's fine
Judgment on Hamner because
Eddie (Manager Eddie Sawyer)
and myself both feel sure he is
ready to take over as the best
shortstop in the National league.

Mid Stone, "Only trouble is

Hamner, who broke In with

Trade Offer
four of them came in September.
"I've never made any trades
with Brooklyn but that's not be
cause I fear being outsmarted by
the smartest trader in baseball,"
said Carpenter. "The Phillies no
longer are a collection of mis
fits and castoffs. We want to
raise our own ballplayers and I
think we've been doing it rath
er successfully."
The Reese for Hamner sub
ject came up when Carpenter
began, comparing his players
with the National league
champion Dodgers. He took
Willie (Puddin' Head) Jones
over all Brooklyn's third base
candidates and Del Ennis over
anyone the Dodgers use in left
field.
And when he got to shortstop
he just seemed to fall in love
with Hamner, the hustling kid
from Richmond, Va.

The national invitation basket
ball tournament an old buga
boo for Adolph Rupp again is
haunting the Kentucky master
mind. This time "the Baron"
sees Beavers running about.
The Beavers from CCNY
dealt Rupp his worst defeat in
20 years at Kentucky in the
quarter-final round of the NIT
last night. The score was 89
to 50.
Thus, City's white-hot quin
tet will meet Duquesne in the
semi-finals Thursday night.
Duquesne advanced with a 49
47 victory over LaSalle of
Philadelphia in the opener.
Bradley and St. John's will
play in the other semi-final
game, with the finals set for
Saturday.
"I figured we'd win this
thing," Rupp said following the
rout. "No excuses, my boys
were the worst ever."
Defeat in the NIT is nothing
new for Rupp, his "fabulous
five" was blasted out in the
quarter-finals last year by Loy
ola of Chicago. In 1947 it was
Utah's "Cinderella" outfit which
upset Kentucky's favored apple
cart in the finale. The Wild
