Eugene Teams from smaller schools such as Lake
view, Ontario, Clatskanie, etc., which have played all
season in crackerbox gymnasiums, are struck with awe
when they first take the 'floor at McArthur court, sit?
of the 35th annual Oregon state Class A basketball tour
nament this week . . . when the boys go out on the playing
floor for a practice session, they swear that the basket
ball court is the biggest they have ever seen , . . and they
wonder how they're ever going to be able to work their
fast break -or their zone defense on such a huge, huge
floor. , !
Just ah Illusion V
Actually, the playing floor at McArthur court isn't
any bigger than many of the floors those same boys
have played on during the regular season . . .' but there
is something about the vastness of the "igloo" in general
. . . the tier upon tier of seats, the huge overhanging
girders, the steel structures holding the glass backboards,
and the loud echo of balls bouncing in an empty gym
during practice sessions . . those things all make the
place seem twice its sire. -' ; , . -j
Impaired Vision No Handicap ; i A' i :
' Gordon Fahlgren, 6-8 left-handed center for the Clat
skanie Tigers, is blind in the right eye . . . Fahlgren is
a hook-shot specialist, and being left-handed most of his
hook shots are fired from the left side of the basket . . .
his blind eye, then, is the one nearest the basket . , . but
that doesn't seem to bother Fahlgren ... he sank three
straight southpaw hooks from the left side of the basket
to keep Clatskanie in the game opposite Marshfield during
the first half of the tournament's opening game last
night
Even Fooled His Coach
Reminds us of another basketballer who had defective
vision : . . Doug Logue, who finished out a brilliant
-career with Willamette university a year ago, had only
10 percent vision in one eye . '. . he overcame that handi
cap so thoroughly that his coach, John Lewis, didn't
; even know about it until Logue s senior year.
; Maple Back at Regular Seat
Howard Maple, former Willamette university basket
ball coach, and later proprietor of the sporting goods
store on State street in Salem, now operated by Howard
Wicklund, is back at his usual state tournament seat
behind press row . . . Maple, now the Studebaker agent
in Bend, buys a season ticket for the same seat in Mc
Arthur court for every state tournament . . . with him
this year is Tommy Hunt, the former Salem Leslie junior
high school basketball star who, as an orphan, was adopt
ed by Maple, and became a basketball and baseball ace
at Bend high school. ,
Farnam One of Helpers
University of Oregon athletes are again assisting with
the state high school tournament . . . some of the Duck
hoopers sweep the floor between games, some keep would
be shortcutters from shortcutting across corners of the
basketball court, some help teams with their equipment,
others assist on campus parking lots, etc. . . . Keith
Farnam, former Salem high state tournament star who
just completed his senior year on the UO basketball team,
is one of the equipment jockeys ... he helps team mana
gers carry equipment between the dressing room and
bench . . . Keith says he likes the job because it keeps
him busy only at half times and between games, and that
way he can watch all the games.

Veeck's "stunts", for years ap
parently combined in an effort
to out the colorful, promoter
from baseball.
, That was the interpretation
in baseball circles today of the
American League club owners'
rejection of Veeck's proposal
to move the Browns from St.
Louis to Baltimore. .- The re
jection was accompanied by
bristling statements from of
ficials, beginning at the top
with Commissioner Ford Frick.
At a result ot the Vote,
Veeck it to be forced to op
erate . the Browns in St,
Louis a city which he has
stated cannot support two.
teams and in which he lost
(400,000 last season. In ad
dition, Veeck himself admit
ted "I obviously haven't won
any fans in St. Louis or ap
parently anywhere else in
the world these past four
dayt.' -
Even before the league club
owners revealed their crushing
repudiation, there had been
little effort to conceal bitter
ness toward Veeck. .
Frick called Veeck's action
"hasty and - haphazard" and
said the present was a "lousy'
time to make the proposal even
before the vote wat taken.'
Other bitter comment
came'.; from ' George Trant
man, president of the minor
leagues, and Frank Shaugh
nessy, president of the In
ternational League. ' Traut
man charged that Veeck did
not follow correct baseball
procedure and Shaughnessy
claimed Veeck misled owners
when he told them six slabs
In the International League
supported the move.
"I knew that' to be false,"
Shaughnessy said. - 1 knew I
had five votes against him my
