DALLAS SI, PORTLAND 19
The crowd of 6688 lam a
for, far cry from the cramped
audiences that have seen the
Dragons play in their small
quarters at home were shock
ed with the ease oi Danes' ac
eomoliihment.
The Dragons, who upset
Newberg and McMinnvUle in
the district 8 tournament, eame
to Eugene practically unnotic
ed. After the - Dragons upset
Astoria 44-41 in the opening
round Wednesday, they still
weren't considered very seri
ously just another team m a
tumultuous tournament.
But Thursday night Dallas
made the fans sit up and taxe
notice. The champions of the
Willamette Valley league out-
hostled and outplayed cieve
land averv minute of the game.
- To single out any individual
on the Dallas team wouia dc
like trying to choose the best
Blace to bite big rea appie.
The well-rounded Dallas team
slaved together like tourna
ment veterans. Itwas a great
great one,
George Curtlss, Rex Doma-
schofsky and John Kitxmiller
all hit the two-figure mark in
the scoring column with 14,
11 and 10, respectively.
Curtlss, who stands only I-
10, topped Dallas' rebound re
ceipts with 13. The feat was
quite amazing since he was
competing aglnst a Cleveland
team that had a 6-9 center, and
6-6 and 6-8 forwards. Doma-
schofsky's backboard work
was a big help to Dallas, too.
He grabbed 12 rebounds.
Dallas' passing attack was
perhaps the smoothest seen in
the tournament so far, Curtlss,
Rob Olson, Domaschofsky,
Herb Brandli and John Kitz
mlller handled the ball like
Tinkers, Evers and Chance of
baseball double plajr fame.
Dallas outshot Cleveland,
too. The Dragons sank 17 field
goals on 82 attempts for a .327
mark. Cleveland finding the
hoop only 18 times on 68 shots
for .221.
The one weak spot In Dal
las' offense was the free throw
department," the same place
Dallas looked weak in its tour
nament opener with Astoria.
Dallas hit only 17 out of 88
free throws against Cleveland.
Dallas, which committed
only five fouls against Astoria,
played another clean game
Thursday night. Only 13 per
sonals were tooted against
Dallas, compared to 23 for
Cleveland.
Cleveland led only once in
the entire ball game. That was
at 2-0 In the first minute of
play. Curtlss and Domaschof
sky hit field goals for Dallas to
give the Kunkemen a 4-2 lead,
and Cleveland never regained
the lead again, though the score
was tied twice later in the first
period and twice again in the
second stanza.
With two minutes remaining
in the first half, Dallas held a
slim 21-20 lead. Then Harold
Holdorf canned a 20-footer,
Kitzmiller sunk a free throw
and Curtlss dropped in a shot
from the left of the keyhole
circle juit before the halftime
gun. That gave Dallas a 26-20
lead. The second half was all
Dallas. '
No matter what the Dragons
do later in the tournament, it
will have been a successful
trip.
EUGENE 66, SALEM 84
Eugene has one of the hot
test shooting teams in the
tournament, and Thursday's
game with Salem was no ex
ception. Eugene hit 18 out of
SO shots from the floor for r
.360 mark. Salem had lot
more chances at the basket,
70, but made only 10 of them
for a .271 figure even that
isn't bad. i
It was those pesky personal
fouls that killed Salem. The
Viking had 29 fouls called
against them, and for the sec
ond day in a row saw three
of their five men leave the
game on the five-foul route.
Eugene was charged with only
18 fouls.
Don Ainge, Eugene forward
who seemed to spend half the
night at the free throw line,
led Eugene's scoring with 20
points eight of them on free
throws. Norm Willoughby,
next man on the Eugene scor
ing ladder, with 14, points,

Two Salem Players
Dropped From

Eugene Two members of
the Salem Ugh aehool state
toarnament basketball team
have been dropped from the
quad for disciplinary rea

fied the two boys to tarn

pair had failed to meet the

to check into their hotel
rooms at the curfew.

final game Thnreday night.
Robinson May
Be Moved to
First Base
Vero Beach, Fla. Jackie
Robinson was presented with
a first baseman's mitt today by
Dodger manager Charley Dres
den.
The obvious implication was
that Robinson, who was shift
ed to third base by Dreseen
two days ago, now will be
switched to first base. But
Dreisen refused to explain the
gift, other than to my, "I'm
just fooling around I may
have an announcement in a day
or so."
Robinion played first base
for a full season with the
Dodgers before becoming the
regular second baseman,
also had eight.
Dave Johnson, who in the
third quarter sunk three con
secutive jump shots from about
15 feet to the side of the
basket, led Salem's scoring
with 2 points. Jim Knapp had
11 and Gordy Domagalla 10.
Salem was right on Eugene's
trail until the last quarter. Eu
gene led only 16-15 at the end
of the first period and 29-23
at halftime. Johnson's three
jump shots kept Salem in the
game in the third quarter, and
Eugene led 45-41 as that pe
riod ended.
With Jack Bishop, Doma
galla and sub center Bob Mil
ler on the bench with five
fouls apiece, the Vikings fold
ed in the last quarter. Miller
bad seen a lot of action in the
game, because regular center
Jack Bishop was inured slight
ly in the first quarter when
Ainge of Eugene fell on him
in a scuffle for the ball. Ainge
was charged with a deliberate
foul. Bishop got back in the
game intermittently after that
never used such
finerfuel,
The Dalles, scoring its 26th
consecutive victory, also had
to overcome height In getting
past Albany, which had two
6-1 players in Dave Shelby and
Neil Causble. .
The Dalles did it with speed,
gaining a 43-35 lead by the
half and then running up a
12-polnt lead In the second
half. Albany spurted In the
closing quarter, but it came
too late. Harold Pontius, Al
bany guard, led scorers -with
20 points. Gary Haynes, one
of two red-haired brothers
playing for The Dalles, had 17.
Marshfield's stock in trade
also is speed, although at first
it scarcely seemed that Marsh
field would need it against
Central Catholic. The Port
landers Just could not "locate
the hoop, and Marshfield loped
off to an early 30-9 lead. When
Central Catholic finally did
begin sinking shots, the veteran
Marshfield team all of the
regulars played in. this same
tournament last year had not
too much trouble staying In
front.

Bowlers Study
Proposes Rule
Alterations
Chicago Uf) Delegates from
all over the nation Friday con
sidered 50 proposals to change
the playing rules of bowling in
the American Bowling Con'
gress convention at the Con-
gress Hotel.
One of the proposals getting
top attention was to change the
new tie game rule that went
into effect last year. Now in
case of a tie, the teams don't
rolloff but each is credited with
a half game won and a half
game lost in league standings.
Those making the proposal
ask the return of the rolloff on
an optional basis. They feel
that in a competitive sport such
as bowling there should be a
winner.
The convention is being held
in connection with the ABC's
Golden Jubilee tournament at
the Coliseum. No major chan
ges were recorded in Thurs
day's competition.
Fort Wayne, Ind., was award
ed the 1955 tournament The
Hoosier City received 33 votes,
one over the necessary total to
get the nod. Buffalo, N.Y., re.
ceived 28 votes, and Atlantic
City, N.J., one. The 1954 tour
ney will be in Seattle.

Fabulous O'Brien Brothers
Embark on Baseball Career
StatUe, Wash. U.B Johnny
and Eddie O'Brien, Seattle
University's twin terrors al
ready well established in bas
ketball, looked forward to a
major league baseball career
today.
The Irish brothers from
South Amboy, N. J., newly
signed to contracts with the
Pittsburgh Pirates, said they
would spend the weekend with
their parents at home before
reporting to the Pirate train
ing camp at Havana Cuba,
Monday.
Pirate Scout Ed McCarrick
said the O'Briens, who signed
a package deal for an estimat
ed 180,000, definitely were
"major league prospects."
"They aren't apt to waste the
season on the bench," he said.
But McCarrick emphasized
that they might have a tough
time getting info a big league
starting lineup.
"It's a hard Jump from col
lege ball to major league
ball," McCarrick said.
"If It was easy, we wouldn't
have enough leagues to take
care of all the potential major
leaguers."
The Pittsburgh contract end
ed a lot of speculation here as
to what the O'Briens would do
professionally. Both were cin
ches to play basketball for pay
u tney wanted.
They also were bartered for
by the Brooklyn Dodgers, De
troit Tigers, New York
Yankees, Chicago White Sox,
and Seattle Rainiers in base
ball. .
Pittsburgh got the five-foot-
nine-inch twins by offering the
most cash.)
Johnny plays shortstop: Ed
die is an outfielder. But at
Pittsburgh' there might be a
move to turn Eddie into an in
flelder because of his powerful
throwing arm.
Whatever happens the
O'Briens were happy with
their decision.
"We are especially glad to
be playing baseball," they said.
"Neither of us ever want to see
a basketball again. We took a
pretty awful beating under the
boards In basketball."
They said the main reason
they preferred the diamond
over the hardwood court was ,
because "the odds for our ath
letic longevity are much better
in baseball." . ,
Johnny and Eddie had Bran.
ch Rickey to thank for their
big baseball opportunity.
The Pirate boss watched
them work out one day. After
everyone else had left for the
showers Rickey hurried in to
the dressing room to talk to
the twins. ;
"They're still out on the
field," he was told.
Rickey found the O'Briens .
still going at It, hitting, run
ning and throwing. It was
just what he wanted a
pair of scrappy competitors
who loved baseball and
could make a team go.
Seattle Coach Al Brlghtman,
who discovered the twins in a
semi-pro tournament at Wichi
ta, Kan., agreed.
These boys are definitely
major league caliber," Bright
man said. .
Johnny and Eddie came here
as basketball players and put
Seattle U. in the national cage
limelight Johnny was a first
string Ail-American this year
and Eddie made the United
Press third team.
