tivo victory for Echo.
Chiloquin and Jefferson col

A playoff for fourth position
started at 2:10 this afternoon be
tween Heppner and Knappa.

The all-state five will he pick
ed by sports writers covering

In tomorrow's game will

Zither Elgin or Echo, or both,
could feasibly break the exist

games. The record, set by
Echo's fourth place team last
season, is 173. So far in this
year's tournament Elgin has 115
needs 69 points tonight to break
the existing record, while Echo
needs 60 points to up its own
mark.
was favored to win the consola
tion round after losing to Echo
88-42 in the opening round
Thursday, but the Drain team
appeared listless against Hep
pner.
Heppner did most of its dam
age in the second period. Hep
pner led only 14-13 after the
first quarter, but stretched its
J advantage to 28-20 by halftime.
ine two teams piayea on sdoui
even, terms through the second
half, but Drain was never able
to overcome the bulge establish'
ed by Heppner in the second
quarter. '
Drain hit a lapse in the fateful
second period, going field goal'
less during the first seven min
utes and 20 seconds of that
period. 1
Jack .Sumner, Heppner cen
ter, led his team with 28 points,
highest single game performance
of the tournament so far.

ECHO 86, CHIOOQUIN 16
Ward Collinswortb, rangy
Echo veteran who gets around
the floor as if he were twins,
turned in another scintillating
performance, dripping in nine
field goals and a free throw for
19 points. Teammate Bud Gra
ham also had 19. Seven of his
points came on free throws. .
Echo's defense, sometimes
moving into- a compact zone,
proved effective last night. Echo
players time and time again stole
the ball from Chiloquin. And
they did It with-a total of only
seven fouls tooted against Echo.
- Echo got a quick 4-0 lead on
free throw by Graham, a field
goal from in close by Jim Tolan
and a gift shot by ColUnsworth.
Bill Vadan Interrupted with a
Chiloquin field goal to make it
4-2, but Colllnsworth hit two
buckets from the side and Tolan
sunk a free throw to give Echo
a 9-2 lead, and the Cougars had
control of the game all the way
aiter that.
It was 12-8 at the end of the first
quarter, 27-17 at halftime and
42-31 when the third period
ended.
Gene Gentry, held to four
points in the first half, showed
just the only spsrk Chiloquin
had In the second half as he
scored 11 points, giving him a
night's total of 18.
, Chiloquin scored only two
free throws In the ball game.
The Panthers had 11 chances.
Echo wasn't too hot in the free
throw department, either, hit
ting only 14 out of 32, but
their potency on field goals more
than made up for their ineffec
tiveness from the charity lane.
ELGIN St, JEFFERSON 41
Jefferson lust plain didn't
have it last night, while Elgin's
play was as smooth as a fine
watch. (No commercial Intend
ed.)
Even at that, the Lions put up
whale of a battle during the
first quarter, and through the
first four minutes of the second
stanza.
The lead changed hands three
times and the score was tied
four times in the first quarter
alone, with Elgin leading 12-10
when that period ended. No
more than two points had se
parated the two teams in the
first quarter.
As the second period got un
der way. Dale Wattenbarger. in
top form last night, scored five
consecutive points to give the
Jeffmen a 18-12 lead.
But Elgin bounced right back
with five straight points to take
17-18 lead. Jim Blaekwell of
Jeff tied it up at 17-17 with
a shot from the key. By then,
the fans had forgotten all about
announcements from the NCAA
regionals playoffs at Oregon
State college, and were concen
trating on the game before their
eyes.
But right then and there El
gin started walking away from
the Lions. From a 17-17 tie mid'
way in the second period Elgin
boomed to a 27-19 lead by half-
time, and Jeff never threatened
In the third or fourth periods.
It was 39-28 when the third
quarter ended.
Wattenbarger, who had scored
'13. of Jefferson's 19 points in
. the first half, fouled out of the
game with one minute gone of
, the fourth quarter. He had not
played much of the third period
; because he had four fouls on
'. him at the half. His absence
; from the lineup obviously hurt
' the Lions. Wattenbarger fin
; ished the" night with 16 points,
; same number as scored by El
- gin's top man, Morton Gordon.
I HEPPNER 89, DRAIN 47
i Drain, rated as one of the
; powerhouses of the tournament,
KNAPPA 65
BROWNSVILLE 40
Knappa got off to a 8-0 lead,
Brownsville bounced right back
with three field goals to take a
6-8 lead. Knappa then went back
Into the lead, 8-6. The game set
tled down after that, with Knap
pa steadily increasing its lead
all the way. At the end of the
first quarter it was by three
points, at 12-9. At halftime it
was by 11 points, 81-20. At the
end of the third quarter it was
by 16 points, 41-25, and at the
end of the game it was by 25
points, 68-40. "
Brownsville fouled out three
men, Charles Lawler, Rudy Herr
and John Weimer, by the time
the third quarter ended.
Richie Perkins and Mike
Barendse led Knappa's scoring
with 18 and 13 points, respec
tively, but top honors for the
game went to Marvin Zachary
of Brownsville, with 16.

Vejar Defeats
Martinez; Hopes
To Do It Again
New York (U.B Chico Velar
said today, "I licked Vince Mar
tinez with my Improved body at
tack and I can do It again."
Chico of Stamford, Conn., was
elated with his upset unanimous
10-round decision over Martinez
of Paterson, N. J. last night be
fore 11,184 In Madison Square
Garden. The loser was favored at
17-8.
Chico broke his opponent's 13-
bout winning streak en Friday-
the-13th.
Home-state admirers of Vejar,
21, and Martinez, 33, swelled the
gate to $49,779, largest at the
Garden in 17 months.
"Sure, I'll fight him again,"
said Chico, with a white patch
over a cut under his right eye.
"Winning this bout, which I was
expected to lose gave me a lot
of confidence. Chuck Davey lick
ed me twice last year with body
punches; so l ve improved my
body attack in every one of my
eignt ngtits since then."
Chico, a student of dramatic
arts at New York University, al
most missed his cues last night
in the third and seventh rounds
when he suffered severe batter
ings. But otherwise he stuck
pretty well to his prepared script
oi -lert to tne Dooy, left to the
head left to the body, right to
the head.

Sharpest quip heard during the first two days of Oregon's
state class B basketball tournament: JVhen public address system
announced that the Brownsville bus was to leave at 10 o'clock,
somebody In the balcony queried, "For where?"
Newest Chiloquin Fan
When Chiloquin coach Frank DIClio was handed a tele
gram just seconds before the tipoff for Chlloqnln's first
tournament game with Heppner Thursday afternoon, Frank
figured Is was a well-timed good-luck message from a fan
back home . . . instead, It turned out to be a telegram
Informing Frank that his wife had Just given birth to a
baby girl . . . Chlloqnln's team helped Frank celebrate by
defeating Heppner 60-46.
Echo Gals Back
In addition to bringing back the same basketball team which
appeared in last year's tournament, Echo high school brings
back another group of ace performers from the 1982 tourney .
they're the 25 girls who comprise Echo's all-gal band ... the
bright blue-clad strutters put on a halftime entertainment so
entertaining that the Coke stand suffers . . . star of the show is
Carol Ann Wigglesworth, baton twirler who turns somersaults,
cartwheels, back bends,, etc., with her baton going all the while
the other 24 girls carry instruments, including live drums
and a pair of cymbals . . . which all adds up to a lot of noise in
the confines of the WU gym.
TV Takes Toll
Television's toll en attendance at ball games was felt
at the B tournament games last night ... the crowd, 1000,'
would have probably been substantially larger had It .not
been for the televising of the regional NCAA playoffs at
Corvallis . . . many basketball fans of the Salem area who
would otherwise attend the B tourney games, stayed home
and watched the Washington - Seattle natural on KPTV
instead ... the NCAA tournament, which was a sellout
anyhow, pocketed a hunk of cash for TV rights . .'. while
the' state B tourney, which was nndonbtedly hurt at the gate
by the telecast, got nary a penny.
Benches a la Beavers
Brownsville high school's team uses canvas camp chairs to
sit on during time outs, a la Oregon State college ... the Browns
ville' coach, Harold Schuttpelz, is an OSC grad.
Many Alma Maters
Incidentally, the eight coaches of teams playing In the
1953 B tournament studied for the coaching profession in
eight different colleges . . . Brownsville's Sehuttpels, as
we mentioned, went to OSC . . . Jefferson's Fred Graham Is
from Willamette . . Knappa's Howard Kauffman, Pacific
. . . . Drain's Del Dungey, Oregon . . . Echo's George DeLap,
WSC . . . Chlloquln's Frank DIUllo, Superior State (Wis.)
. . . Elgin's Calvin Tace, BYU . . . Heppner's Stephen Trnk

Aberdeen Meets
Renton in Wash.
State Finals
Seattle VP) A band of ball-
control artists from Renton and
determined Aberdeen outfit
meet Saturday night in the fi
nals of the state Class A basket
ball tournament, with both
teams shooting for their first
pennant.
The Renton Indians provided
the upset of the 1953 classic
Friday night as they slowed the
Elma Eagles down to a walk
and held towering Gary Nelson
to 13 points in gaining a 34-30
win in the semifinal bracket.
Aberdeen had a longer row
to hoe before they weeded the
Longview Lumberjacks from
title contention, 47-37.
Renton s win over Elma, pre
tourney favorite and previously
unbeaten this season, was fash
ioned in a strictly keep-away
game that, in the opening min
utes, saw the ball bob around
like a drop of water on a hot
griddle between Renton players
before a field goal attempt wns
made.
