Champion Eugene Places 2 on All-State Quintet ' . . ASSOCIATED PRESS UNITED PRESS Salem, Oregon, Monday, March 21, 1955-(See. 2)-l By A. C JONES, Copita! Journal Sports Editor A??.?" -r.-rw.11 n?4 HAROLD IIAUK . for seeded tourneys FOOTBALL, BASKETBALL DISTRICTS IDENTICAL The same seven high schools which battle it out for the one District 11-A1 football berth in the state playoffs will go after the two A-l basketball state tournament spots next year. That means North Sa'em, South Salem, Albany, Lebanon, Corval lis, Sweet Home and Bend, which makes it even more tougher for uch as Bend, Lebanon and Sweet Home to get to the state. E. A. Carleton, the North Salem principal who is on the Hate board of control which car ries out directions of the dele, gate assembly, explains the pro-, posed 16-team A-l and eight team A-2 state hoop tourney like this: Portland would get four teams in the state under the new plan, which is too many for a nine-team league, or district. By reducing that to three, admitted ly more logical even to some Portland coaches, it would mean choosing a 16th, "floating" or "at large" team to fill the brackets. The delegate assembly will meet again in M?y at the state track meet bu' Carleton doesn't think it will change the proposal. NEW A-2 LEAGUE . AN IMPROVEMENT It was a relief to learn that the new District 11 A-2 lea gue formed last week will do away with the endurance con test known as the district basketball tournament. That's the one just won by Cascade after two grueling weeks in which some teams played as many as seven games. We've heard of several cases of illnesses of players whose condition became rundown under the grind. Under the new setup, the league champions will go to the state A-2 basketball race without a district tourney because the league IS the district. Members already have voted against being in football playoffs. When this circuit was born, though, it just plain snuffed oub the C.ipitol League, which lost Serra, Stayton and Gervais, leaving only Central and Salem Academy. We asked Coach Bob Funk what his Academy Crusaders are going to do now for a league. "Looks like we're left in the Lone Wolf League," he replied. TOURNAMENT ODDS AND ENDS Harold Hauk, South Salem's ex-veteran basketball coach, thinks the state tournament should seed its best teams and who doesn't? The spectacle of having Milwaukie and Eugene in the opening round decide their feud by one point is ridicu lous. Likewise, having Eugene play Albany, which eventually finished fourth, in the second round is too much to tolerate . . . The comment is ours, not Hauk's ... What happens to all the money from all those 77,282 fans Who sat in on the 12 sessions? Art Litchman of Oregon U., pub licity director, said there reallv isn't as much as you would expect, for when you realize that students get season tickets for $4, it Isn't much when you divide li sessions into mai . ine iour ncy provides most of the budget for the OSAA, expenses of qSAA officials, trophies, mileage, etc. . . . y .. ?, ' Eugene now becomes only the third team to win"'rnore than two state championships. Mem has won seven and Astoria six . . . Art Moyer, Albany sports editor, polled the press box on its all-state team and found the writers preferred Don Stamps of Albany to Larry Copple of Medford, whom they placed on the sec ond team . . . That's the only difference between it and the one the coaches picked .... Mel Krause, Salem Senator and also Franklin hoop coach, reported that his wife is expecting another child. They have three or more now . . . Also expecting is Mrs. Larry Janscn, wife of the New York Giants pitcher who lives in Oregon. The Jansens al ready have a house full, five daughters .and two sons. MORE STUFF AND THINGS Willamette university is going to try to persuade Fortune Gordien, world record holder in the discus throw, to cruise over to McCulloch stadium April 2 to give an exhibition at the Willamette Relays. Gordien, who works in Sandy, is at the Pan-American Games in Mexico now ... The Eugene Em eralds Northwest league club is trying to sell 5000 season tickets before spring training starts, making a new push this week. They are offering 65 games for S12.50 for an adult in dividual, compared to S15 for Salem. Boys and girls 12 and under get in free if accompanied by parent holding two sea son tickets . . . Well, how dees Oregon Slate college look now, compared to LaSalle or Colorado? The Beavers came within one point of San Francisco, the new NCAA champions who beat LaSalle by 14 points In our opinion Bill Russell and K. C. Jones made three time All-American Tom Gola look like just any other player, which means that the Western variety of basketball is pretty fair. We noted that the Dons can play either fast or slow break, but that their all-around strength can make highly-touted fast breaks look bad. In other words, it takes a special brand of ball control, with plenty of height, to stay even. That's what OSC had. East-West In Court Series KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UP)-With two All-Amcricans on its squad, the East was confident of achiev ing its first basketball victory in the annual East-West Shrine series which will be renewed tonight. Three winners of United Press All-America distinction will per form in the game, staged annually for the benefit of Shrine crippled children's hospitals. For the East, there will be La Salle's Tom Gola and Duqucsne's Dick Ricketls. On the West team will be All-America Dick Garmak er of Minnesota. North Salem Slates First Track Drill With only two weeks to train1 for the coming Willamette relays and a squad of unknown poten tial, Ken Hunt's North Salem track squad held its first- turnout today. Hunt said he wasn't sure just how good his team would be or who would be competing in which events. He did single out his 440 relay team, which he said, should be one of the best in the district. On the 440 relay team are Ter ry Salisbury, Jim Norval, Del Funk and Howard Scribcr, four swifties who 'made up the same team last season. Medford Whipped 72 to 56 Albany Wins4lh, Milwaukie 5lh In State 'A' , EUGENE I Eugene, which placed two men on the all-state team, is the new Oregon class A high school basketball champion.

St. Helens was second and Baker third in the sportsmanship rating. , Moran, the tournament's top scorer with 104 points in four games, and Leighton Tuttle were Eugene's representatives on the all-star squad.

Copple led Medford with 18 the same number turned in by Eugene's , Tuttle, The victory gave Eugene its first championship since 1946. The Axmen were runners up in 1954 and 1953, losing to Milwaukie last year and to Marshfield the year before. Hugh Springer, a substilute for ward, scored in the last few seconds of overtime to give Cleveland the third place trophy.

Bob Hopman led the losers with 14. Stamps Scores 33 Don Stamps scored 33 points to lead Albany's rout of St. Helens the only team to enter the tourney with an undefeated record. The shorter St. Helens squad was badly off its shooting. Baker put up a good fight but the stronger Milwaukie team rallied in the second half and went on to win easily. Miller, the only repeater on the all-state team, was high with 22 points.
