FROM THE SATURDAY WASH
Springfield cancelled Us game next Tuesday at Lebanon, testi
fying that the school doesn't have funds to pay the team's transpor
tation. Lebanon, which played at Springfield last Tuesday, is knocked
iut of a home game thereby.
tvhat s even more strange about
:hc whole thing is that Springfield
lad a game at Corvallis scheduled
.'or the same night and apparently
& going to fill that contract funds
r no funds, truth or no truth . . .
Mel Krausc seems to have had
his fling as kingpin coach in Ore
gon high school basketball. The
summertime Salem Senator, who
guided Franklin of Portland to the
state Class A-l championship last
March, sees the handiwriting on
the wall. Reports are that his
6-foot-9 all-state center, Bjarne
Jensen, was carried off the floor
with a recurrence of a knee injury
in the game against Jefferson. In
last Tuesday's three-point loss to
Lincoln, Jensen's name wasn't in
the box score, and without him the
Quakers don't make anybody
quake . . .
The YMCA's new businessmen's
physical conditioning class in
'icightlifting is gaining increasing
attention. We don't want to men
tion any prominent names, like
ours, but there are some of our
civic leaders attending to trim down some of that soft stuff around
the beltline, and liking it. The idea isn't to try to lift a truck load
of iron, but to work progressively with a weight that one can lift
10 times without undue fatigue. It works.
CONFERENCE OWES HIM A LOT
Les Sparks, associated with Willamette athletics for lo these
many years, recalls when the late Vince 'Nig" Borleske helped1
form the Northwest conference from a bunch of small colleges
often defeated by the likes of Washington, Idaho, Oregon and
Oregon State. That was In 1925, just four years alter Willamette
joined the old Northwest conference that included the schools who
pulled out In the fall of 1924 lo organize the Pacific Coast conference.
Willamette had become a member in 1921 but Whitman was one of
the first and with Borleske one of the country's best fullbacks at 190
nnunds Whitman was keeping up with the Joneses. He coached at a
rmmle nf Portland schools, then
year reign before retiring to be elected mayor and to run the Marcus
Whitman hotel.
Sparks recalls that Borleskl dominated the conference, insist
ing that coaches observe the rules of eligibility and recruiting.
"Nn one ever could snv that Borleske didn't look up the rules,"
Sparks said. "He wouldn't play a team whose coach didn't fol
low them, too. At conference meetings he would speak up and tell
them so."
He was a great sportsman. Once when Spec Kecnc's Willamette
handed Whitman a 75-0 football defeat in the early 1930, Borleske took
It good naturcdly at least on the outside. Willamette had suffered
its worst grid defeat, 108-0, to Washington in 1924, which helped con
vince all concerned that it was time for the bullies to get out of
the play pen.
Borleske waited 13 years for one certain situation fo come up
so he could use a trick play, and It did, against Willamette in
the early 1920's, Sparks recollects. Willamette held Whitman at
the goal line, then punted out lo the 29. On the first play Whitman
chose to try a place kick but not really with any Intention to
score a field goal. The ball fell short and rolled over the goal
line, the Willamette players Ignoring the pigskin, figuring it was
just like a punt over the goal.
A Whitman end, coached on the subject, chased down to fall on
the ball, and it was a touchdown, giving Whitman its 6-0 victory
margin.
Borlesk died the week before last. He was the northwest's first
to gain mention on Walter Camp's all-American team in about 1920,
which was a real concession by the pickers.

NCAA Asked
To Lift Bans
SEATTLE W - The Puget
Sound Sportswriters and Sports
casters Assn. Friday asked the
National Collegiate Athletic Assn.
(NCAA) to lift its probation on
all Washington sports, except foot
ball. In a wire to Walter Byers.
NCAA chairman, the association
argued that athletes in sports
other than football were innocent
of any rule infractions and were
being punished unfairly.
A year ago Washington was
placed under probation for two
years in all sports by the Pacific
Coast Conference for unauthorued
payments to football players. The
NCAA tooK similar ncuuu.
Last week the conference lifted
its ban on all sports except toot
ball. The NCAA, however, re
fused to change its stand and thus
denied the Huskies any chance to
compete for national champion
ships under NCAA sanction.
Washington, incidmi'ally. was
the pick of the Puget Sound
group to win the Pacific Coast
Conference basketball title. In a
poll of members the Huskies were

second choice and California.

Carter Easily Beats
Fading Baker to
Get in Line
By MURRAY ROSF
NEW YORK W Harold Car
ter's easy conquest of fading, ag
ing cob Baker today moved the
young Linden, N.J., Sunday school
teacher in line for a March fight
with either Eddie Machen or Willie
Pastrano.
And in case you haven't been
keeping close tabs on the heavy
weight situation, Carter, Machen
and Pastrano are top ranking
contenders along with 25-year-old
Hurricane Tommy Jackson for the
crown held by 22-year-old Floyd
Patterson. Carter is 22, Machen
23 and Pastrano 21.
The young guard has taken over
the heavyweight division. Ezzard
Charles is gone, Baker is going
and old Archie Moore has had
his chance for the big one.
Matchmaker Billy Brown of the
International Boxing Club, after
watching Carter outclass the 30-
year-old Baker in a TV 10-rounder
at Madison Square Garden last
night, said he would match the
husky Jerseyite with Machen at
the Garden in March if Machen
beats Jucy Maxim, another old-
1;
mrr at Minmi
Jan. 25.
If Machen should be unset.
Brown said he would pit Pastrano
against Carter.
Unless Rocky M a r c i a n o re-1
verses, himself and makes a come
back, 'Patterson's June opponent
will come from the young guard.
Carter, a solidly built, six foot,
191-poundcr, switched styles on
Baker, a lumbering, 6-2, 214
pounder, and made a monkey out
of him.

Bob Close Sinks Decidins Free Throw
With 18 Seconds Left; North
Loses 9-Point Lead
By A. C. JONKS
' Capital Journal Sporls Editor
ALBANY (Soecial) My kingdom for a point, Coach Ward Pal-
danius of North Salem could say today, if ho had a kingdom. But here
last night that was the biggest little, point in the realm when Albany
came from behind in the last two minutes to win, 57-56.
Rulers of the foul line contest'
Inst Tuesday, when they hit 20 ol
20 free throws against west unn,
the Vikings met their Waterloo
when the Bulldogs kept pegging
away for those single points and
made three ol their last live poinis
in that unhindered manner.
Eleven fouls were called against
North Salem in the second half.
compared to four against Albany,
and Coach Tom Holman's host
team made good on nine of them.
The clincher was dropped in by
Bob Close, a 6-3 senior, with it)
seconds remaining and the score
57-54 after Al Harter had fouled
him.
Intercepts Pass
After that Bob Reaves, a Junior
guard of great tnlent discovered
on the junior varsity a couple
weeks ago. drove in for a lay-up
with nine seconds to go to put some
life in the Viking body again. Jim
Litchfield intercepted the inbounds
pass by Albany's Buz Wilfert and
there came a brief and breath
taking scramble as Litchfield tried
to funnel the sphere through the
geometrical equipment called
hoop.
The nearest referee exhaled
sharply into his new plastic whistle
and gave Albany the ball out of
bounds again and the clock hum
med and buizcd away until all the
tempus fugit was gone and North's
district 8 A-l hopes took a tem
porary setback.
Big Nt .Week
Next week's schedule calls for
the Vikings to go north to Beaver
Ion Tuesdnv. then to host South
Salem Friday night and to try to
turn the district t de.
To clnr fv the Intense struggle In
the second half, it would pay to
go back to when the count was
tied. 49-49, on a free Ihrow by
Vol Barnes, reserve Salem guard,
He hit his second shot, too, to
mnko It 50-49 with 3:27 left.
Al Harter. the 6-toot-6 sophomore
center of real promise, fouled out
nt th is no nt and Willerl nit a tree
throw to tie it again. Brother Al
Harter tipped in a basket wilh 2:40
to go, then Davo Sease stole the
hall after a jump ball and drove
down for two points with two mm
utes even on the clock.
North Pulls Up to 51-56
T.llrhfield was called for fouling
uiireri with 1:20 to co and he hit
the first but missed the second lo
mnko It 5.1-52 for Albany. Close
saw davligbt down the middle and
drove in lor a nucKci wun ai sec
onds remaining, was fouled and
hit his charity and It was 56-52.
Reaves lumped a long shot in
over outstretched arms and it was
54-56 wilh 40 seconds left, then
Dale Drake fouled Close, wao nu
Ihut final, deciding free throw wilh
18 seconds on the scoreboard.
A surprise starter was Dennis
McKec, the play-making senior
guard who was the only upper
classman from Salem to play be
sides Al Harter. lie was his usual
good self, getting 15 poinis. But
Reaves outscorcd him by one
point.
9-I'olnt Mall raars
All the Vikings showed skill in
blocking shots, especially in the
first two Quarters and final period.
