State Mat Tourney
Under sponsorship of the athletic department of Oregon State
college, the state high school wrestling tournament is rapidly
becoming one of the major sports events of the year. However,
the time has not yet arrived when several thousand wildly
cheering spectators sit on the sidelines and yell for their fav
orites. Amateur wrestling does not contain the showmanship
and bunk of the professional game, yet it is one of the best body
builders in the entire category of competitive sports. This year's
program that was annexed by Klamath Falls, due to strength
in the four heaviest weight divisions, attracted 192 athletes from
21 schools. That meant 240 matches in two days of concentrated
iitlyity to yield 12 titles.
Gill Deserves Honor
When "Slats" Gill was recently named to the Helms
college Basketball Hall of Fame there was none who would
not applaud the action. The man who has coached the
port at Oregon State for 22 seasons thus gains nation-wide
recognition for his achievements as a No. 1 instructor and
handler of young men. He joins a select group of 20 of
the all-time great hoop mentors of the country. Gill will
coach the West team in the annual East-West game to be
played in Madison Square Garden, April 1.
Quite a Brawl
The Joe Kahut-BiU Petersen main event bout in Portland
Tuesday night was one of the wildest brawls seen in the audi
torium in many years. It was a close counterpart to the Demp-sey-Firpo
engagement of many years ago, and the fans who con
tributed a' little more than $10,000 to witness the night's pro
gram got their money's worth. "We'll hang them from the
rafters the next time," said Matchmaker Tex Salkeld. Tex be
lieves he has a topnotch card lined up for the next VFW show-
ing at the armory the night of March 22, which will feature
Indian Dick Wolfe against Mickey Gimell of Roseburg.
All Star Quint
One may differ with "Look's" all-star selections but at
least the magazine gives sectional representation, something
other "experts" fail to do. Look's first all-star quint comprises
Bob Cousy of Holy Cross; Dick Schnlttker of Ohio State; Paul
Arizin of Vlllanova; Paul llnrnh of Bradley and Charles
Cooper of Duquesne. The second quint included Sherman
White of Long Island U; Kevin O'Shea of Notre Dame; Don
Kchfeldt of Wisconsin; John Pilch of Wyoming and Don
Lofgran of San Francisco. Bill Sharman, master point maker
of Southern Cal is given a spot on the third squad. Other
members are Myer Skoog of Minnesota, Charles Share of
Bawling Green; Sam Ranzino of North Carolina State and
Rick Harmon of Kansas State.
Team members are selected by some 300 individuals
scattered over the country and this is the probable reason
for district representation. District No. 8 consists of Lofgran,
Sharman, Ed Gayda of W. S. C, George Stanich of V. C.
L. A., and Frank Guisness of Washington.
Another "Dream" Team
Collier's squad includes Cousy, While, Schnittkcr and Unruh,
plus Bill Sharman of U. S. C.
446 points during the season and
tion checked in 238 to beat the former record held' by Hank
- Luisetti 232. The Pacific Coast district selections are Sharman,
1 Ed Gayda of W. S. C; Don Lofgran of SFU, Stanich, UCLA
and Soriano of Washington. Honorable mentions in district
competition were handed out to Inman, San Jose; Hagler, Cali
fornia: Yardley, Stanford; Sawyer, UCLA; Payne, OSC; Con
ley, WSC; Herrerias, SFU, and Guisness, Washington,
What! No Broadcast?
'There may he no broadcasts of the Salem Senator baseball
games this summer, either from Waters park or when the
club is on the road. Because of the lateness of the hour in
starting the games when the Senators are east of the moun
tais due to standard time there and "daylight" here, it has
hern difficult to attract sponsors. The baseball management
believes that broadcasts of home games keep a certain num
ber of people out of the park and with this in mind, broad
cast time would be 8:45 Instead of the customary play by
play program of former years. The issue hasn't been de
cided hut It doesn't look too good for broadcasts at this
writing.
Middlecoff Wins
Two-Ply Victory
Lake Park, Fla.. March 16 U.R
It was anybody's guess today
how much Dr. Cary Middlecoff
raked off in cash gratuities for
his two-ply victory in the rich
Seminole golf tournament but
it must have been a ID-gallon
hat full.
The Memphis dentist wound
up the tournament yesterday by
winning the professional title
and then teamed with C. Doug
las Dillon of New York to tie for
first place In the pro-amateur
vent.
Middlecoff pocketed $1,500
prize money in the pro event and
pirked up $1,250 as his share of
the purse in the pro-amateur
contest.

Miami Beach, Fla. Willie
Klein gets peeved when Califor
nia gets all the credit for golf s
gold rush.
'It was right here at the La
Gorce Country Club in 1928
that the first $15,000 open tour
nament was held," says the popu
lar pro. "Johnny Farrell won
it by three strokes with a bril
liant 83 on the final round. The
cream of the pros competed, too,
and it wasn't until George May
came along in Chicago some 15
years later that our prize "was
surpascd.
The late Carl Fisher and the
late Walter Kohlep got the idea.
"We had only four La Gorce
Opens but all the good play
ers competed. We have now
replaced the open with a pro
member competition which
probably brings out more top
pros than any other event
of its kind."
Klein very seldom takes issue
with the other fellow. He's often
too busy giving lessons or wel
coming celebrities to La Gorce
or making arrangements for
Wheatley Hills Golf Club mem
bers from Long Island to shift
their gear from one section of
the country to another.
Klein has been at La Gorce
since 1927. He comes down the
middle of November each year
and in mid-April leaves for
Wheatley where he has been pro
since 1925.
The 6,275-yard par 71 La
Gorce course is one of the most
popular In the south.
'Gene Sarazen and Farrell
look forward to playing here
every year. Both veterans have
soft spot in their hearts for
this place. Sarazen won one of
our opens and Farrell went on
Rockne's Tutor Runs Cattle Ranch
By JOE DE GEORGE
(AP Newafeaturai)
Ashland, Kan. Jesse C. Har
per will tell you it s not bad
being out of the limelight and
big-time football not bad at all
if you're successful in a new
business.
Harper, you'll remember,
years ago guided the football and
athletic fortunes of Notre Dame's
fighting Irish, both as coach and
athletic director. He's the man
who helped give the great Knute
Rockne his start.
Now he's running a 20,300
acre cattle ranch near here
and finding it "a very inter
esting and a very Indepen
dent life."
"You don't have downtown
quarterbacks to explain to,"
grins the big 66-year-old man
who played a big part in making
the Fighting Irish nationally
known.
Harper still keeps up an active
interest in football as a spec
tator. He tries to see a couple
of good games each year, but the
only one he got to last season
was the Notre Dame-Southern
Methodist thriller. And that, he
says, "was one of the best I have
ever seen."
He concedes today's game is
Improved and more interesting
than the brand played when he
was a coach.
I think it is far advanced
The high scoring is interesting
he says. "More boys get to
play. The high scoring is inter
esting to players and spectators.
"The two - platoon system
is fine when schools of the
same size are playing earh
other. It eliminates a small
school taking on a large one.
But it would have been tough
to use It when we played Armr
in 1913. We took only 18
players on that trip."
It was back in 1913 that Har
per went to Notre Dame as coach
of all sports, athletic director,
schedule maker and trainer. Be
fore that he coached at Alma
(Mich.) College and Wabash
(Ind.) College.
The captain of the football
team his first year at Notre
Dame was a youngster who later
was to gain renown as the coach
ing wizard of the Fighting Irish
Knute Rockne.
Harper remained with the

JOHNNY FARRELL
Won First Big Prize
to win the U.S. Open after taking
our first big prize," says Klein.
But what the fellow Klein
really raves about is young
Henry Russell of Miami. The
former Duke University star
recently shot a 64, seven under
par and a course record for an
amateur.
"He beat a lot of the pros in
our recent pro-member event,"
says Klein.
Florida seems to have re
gained some of its former
prestige this winter. After
Fred Haas, Jr., heat Bob Ham
ilton in the Miami Open in
December, the Bauer sisters,
the greatest thing here since
that $3,000 Hialeah double,
swept one amateur tournament
after another. As soon as they
worked their way up the coast,
along came St. Petcrsburgh
and Miami Beach Opens, both
$10,000 plums.
JESSE HARPER
Put ND on Grid Map
Irish five years. Rockne was
his assistant coach from 1914
to 1917.
In the spring of 1918 Har
per left Notre Dame to take
charge of the ranch east of
here.
Rockne stepped into the
coaching job a case of a stu
dent taking the place of the
teacher. And there's an inter
esting story behind that, told by
Harper himself.
In an interview several years
ago, Harper told a reporter that
when Notre Dame officials asked
him if he had anyone in mind
for the job, he recommended
Rockne. He said he had prom
ised it to Rockne.
"Rock has had several offers
to leave Notre Dame and I've
held him here on the promise
that he would have my job when
I left," Harper argued.
Rockne got the job, and
kept it until he was killed in
a plane crash at Bazaar, Kan.,
In 1931.
The wheel of fate spun again
after Rockne's death. Harper was
called back to Notre Dame
athletic director. He resigned
in 1933 to devote his entire
time to his ranch.
Today, pipe - smoking ,Tes-e
Harper is content to remain on
the ranch which takes care of
from 1,500 to 2.000 cattle a year.
Active management of the busi
ness is in the hands of a son, Mcll
Harper.

Hawaii Grid
Coach Needs
Add Machine
At Newsiest urea
By STAN CARTER
Honolulu It takes a financial
wizard to make a good coach at
the University of Hawaii an
ordinary bookkeeper would lose
his shirt.
That's the complaint of Tom
my Kaulukukui, Hawaii's foot
ball mentor, who says he's hav
ing a hard time keeping his ac
counts balanced.
Many schools find it a chore
to make up satisfactory sche
dules for next fall's grid season.
But Hawaii has the toughest job
of all, says Kaulukukui.
The Rainbows haven't the
best record in the nation. But
they've got to schedule games
with big name teams on the
mainland. If they played
schools their own size and
caliber they'd go bankrupt.
And there's nobody in the is
lands for them to play.
Mainland colleges almost all
jump at the chance to sign up for
games with Hawaii even
though the Rainbow's record
isnt' so good. But they usually
insist on a home-and-home ar
rangement, so mainland players
will get a free vacation in these
romantic islands.
Kaulukukui wants to play
schools like Fresno State, San
Jose State and Willamette
schools similar in size to Hawaii.
These schools can afford to
guarantee only a small gate when
Hawaii plays them on the main
land. When they come here
though, they insist that all ex
penses be paid says Kaulukukui
It costs about $12,000 for
his team to make the trip to
the west coast, Kaulukukui
says.. This year he's been of
fered a $6000 guarantee from
Fresno, a $5000 guarantee
from San Jose and a $1000
Mr. and Mrs. Harper live in
an 11-room ranch-style stone
house, with every modern con
venience they could have In

interest in civic affairs and is
credited with having done
much toward development of
good highways in his county.
The Harpers have two other
children, Katherine and James.

"But we never get that kind

The only answer, Kaulukukui
thinks, is to play two $7500

$12,000 or $15,000 guarantee he
has to give for a team to come

But that gets' a little com
