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

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.
