The Elks took an early lead over the Lions, but Jefferson fought back to cut the deficit to 21-20 with three minutes left in the open ing half. Harold Duncan, who led the scoring with 28, paved an Elk ton rally that sent the Elks into a 29-21 lead at halftime.

' Malin took an early lead and Argument Flares On Speedboating , 4 By HECTOR L, FOX A controversy between speed boat enthusiasts and boat fisher men, which flamed in the 1955 Legislature, bla2ed up again Fri : day at a hearing of the House Fish and Game Committee. Two years ago, boat fishermen and speed craft owners clashed over legislation to restrict boat speeds on Suttle Lake. Friday, a bill to add Magone Lake in Grant County to lakes where a speed limit of 10 miles an hour is enforced brought the 1955 dispute back to the commit tee. Robert Nix, Corvallis, asked the committee to remove Crescent Lake in Klamath County from the restricted speed list. He said the lake isn't good tor fishing, and that the number of summer re sorts are increasing. Wants Certain Hours Nix, who owns a summer re treat at the lake, suggested legis lation to control speed boats on lakes by allocating certain hours for sports boating. The breach between the waters (ports enthusiasts and boat fish ermen was further illuminated by spokesmen for the U.S. Forest Service. They said 18 lakes in federal forests in Oregon now ban speed boating. They said the government was almost powerless to enforce the regulation because violators Would have to be taken long dis tances to federal courts. Violators to Court They suggested turning enforce ment over to the stale Game Com mission so violators could be bailed inlo justice courts. Bob Holloway, Game Commis sion representative, told the com mittee that the increase in water sports creates a serious problem. Portland General Electric Co., which is building Pelton Dam on the( Deschutes River and is using Pete Susick Signs With Washington COOS BAY (UP)-Petc Susick. highly-successful football coach at Mirshfield High School, said to day he was leaving Coos Bay to ' take a coaching position at the University of Washington. Susick. a former Washington football player, said be expects to move to Seattle in the next two or three weeks. His exact position on the Husky Coaching staff under new Head Coach Jim Owens was not certain. Susick said he would be "just an assistant."

Beavers Trail Ducks in Meet EUGENE, Ore. ifll With one of five defending champions side lined, the eighth annual Pacific Coast intercollegiate wrestling meet headed into its final day today. Oregon, with nine points, held the lead after two rounds, closely followed by Oregon Slate with eight. But OSC had eight men still in action, while Oregon had only seven.

JONES Capital Journal Sports Editor Only Molalla will come back from last year's first annual Slate Class A-2 basketball tournament Monday, but the Indians of Cliff "Chief" Snider have a sure-fire candidate for the all-state team. He is Gerald Parker, a 6-foot-5 senior center who rated the sec ond team last year when he was three inches shorter. He averaged GERALD PARKER , Molnlla's growing star 15.1 as his team won 16 and lost 5, and two others, Dave Brock and A. J. Xlyrick averaged more than 10. But Madras, with a 21-0 record, is given the nod by those who study the paper statistics. Madras, which meets Glide in the opener at 2 p.m. Monday, was ranked 1.1th in the stale, including A-l teams, while Glide was 17lh. Three of last year's eight teams have moved up to Class A-l, in cluding both finalists. They are St. Helens, the champion; Ontario, the runncrup, and Redmond, the con solation champion (fifth place). The eight 1957 entries are the best-by-tcst among 69 Class A-2 schools in Oregon. It makes it the most exclusive tourney in the stale, since the A-l event opens with 16 teams. Team season records: Cascade, 17-2: Molalla. 16-5; Ma dras, 21-0; Glide, 16-5: Drain. 20-4: Reedsport, 18-8; Dayton, 13-3; and Scappoose, unknown as yet. Coaches: Cascade.

Last year Jim Kaber was Scappoose coach and 0 1 e Johnson was at Madras. Team names: Cascade Cougars, Glide Wild cats, Reedsport Braves, Drain Warriors, Madras While Buffaloes, Scappoose Indians, Dayton Pirates and Molalla Indians. That's a lot of Indians in one form or another. All afternoon competition will begin at 2 o'clock, rather than at 2:30 as announced some time ago by the OSAA. Harold Hauk is tour ney chairman and Carl Aschen brenner, South Salem principal, is director. The Salem Exchange club is sponsor and Jias booked its an nual luncheon at Monday noon at the Marion hotel for coaches, prin cipals and sports writers.

A-2 Basketball KAPHAS SCAMr-OOSB Sec. 2, Page 1 c&iraliiSai Full A-P. a"'l U-P- Wire mul Loral Coverage 8 iThe Sporttneter By A. C. JONES, Capital Journal Sports Editor I j Time Marches On The tall, lean figure with thinning, white hair cruised the hallway at Gill Coliseum last night after the Oregon State-Oregon basketball, livery few feet someone would stop him to talk about things past, present and future, because he, Roy S. "Spec" Kecne, is a popular guy. It was the end of 10 years as athletic director for Kcene at OSC, which is a natural place for him to be because he was student body president at the Corvallis school and head coach at Corvallis High after graduation. Assistant Beaver coach was next step up and in 1926 Willamette uni versity hired him as athletic di rector and football coach. After 17 years came the war, which up roots the status quo and he served as a lieutenant-commander in the Navy. (He also had served over seas in the army in World War I.) Said Kecne last night: "They tell me I'm finished finished 10 years, that is." We suggested the term should be "completed." Replied Kecne: "Well, then, I'm com pleted." We had heard that Kecne has oridlcs of historical pictures of Willamette sports figures and events taken during his 17 years in Salem and asked him about lliem. They're all fram ed and prepared to hang up somewhere, he replied. "I had planned to have a den in a new house 1 was building here In Corvallis and was going lo hnng up the pictures In It, hut when 1 had my heart attack those plans didn't work out. I guess I'll end up by taking them out of their frames and putting them In scrap books." Kecne had nine Little All-American at Willamette: I-oren Crannis in 19.14, John Oravec in 1935. Dick Weisgerber in 1936. Kllioll "Tootie" Beckon in 1937. George Abbott in 1938, Joe Holland in 1939, Tony Fraiola in 1941 and Marv Goodman in 1940. Al Waldon made the second team in 1940 and Ted Ogdahl in 1942. At Oregon Stale, Kecne directed drives for Parker Stadium, where the 1957 Rose Bowl team was developed, after Gill Coliseum had been accomplished. People arc his friends and he has the satisfac tion of having countless former athletes stop in to chat with the tall, lean man with the thinning, while hair. Every Tourney BriiiKS Thrills The Class A-2 boys will be back at Salem Monday. The prob lem, which history, will straighten be heroes this year? Last year's caused a lot of hearts to skip. There was the game between Ontario and St. Francis. With the score tied in overtime and four seconds remaining, Jerry Doman of Ontario hit two free throws to put his team in the finals . . . Then there were two "one shot gambles," one paying off and one backfiring. St. Krancls used It successfully against Redmond with the score lied. St. Francis stalled until only three seconds were left, passed II to 6-5 Stu Robertson, who hooked It In for the victory ... SI. Francis was victim of Its second such strategy, against Coqullle with Ihc score tied. St. Francis maneuvered for the deciding shot but Robertson was called tor offensive charging and Howard Waggoner of Cnqullle hll a free throw with three seconds letl for the decision. We notice that keepers of the records for the Stale Class A-l tourney at Eugene have erased all o( Salem High school's records since it split into Nnrlh and South. All seven Salem championships arc wiped off, although N'orlh Salem slill uses Ihc same building the same nicknames, Vikings. We forgot to go to the funeral, if there was one. It was our opinion that a new Salem school was added and that the old one, with its "ancient" trophies, still stands. Odds imd Ends and Si rays Notice that Neil Causbie needed only 26 more points to reach the 1000 mark in four vears at Willamote university. He's one of several who have earned four letters Irom the Bearcats. Dick Hoy, it seems, was the last and Ron Taylor has three as a junior . . . Cascade coach Cal Hersey Is a graduate of Eugene high school and Oregon Slate and coached his first season at Reedsport, Ills Reedsport Junior varsity now has grown up and will be In the same tournament, hut In different brackets, with Cascade . . , Mumps hit one of llersey's reserves this week Ron Younger which blasts the boy's privilege ol playing In a state tournament. It was last week that llrrsev feared one ol his starters, Roger Harris, had mumps, hul didn'l and contributed lo the Cougars' vlrlory over Woodhurn that pot them In the.hlg event , . , The Smith boys will he here with a 21 8 average, and cousin much shorter squad anywhere except al a school for midgets, because eight of the 10 are under 6 feet and five are 5-d or shorter!

If J? 1 1 -rv i Champion Wad. . 8:45 j Marks of Marsh Of St. Helens Formidable Marlin Marsh, who led the St. Helens Lions to the state A-2 championship last year; holds five individual records and all are of such proportions that they will probably stand the onslaught this year. 1 lie high scoring guard has these records: points, game, 34; points, tourney, 79; field goals, tourney, 30; free throws, game, 12; and free throw percentage, game, 12 for 12, 1.000. He is tied with St. FYaneis' Stew Robinson for most free throws for a tourney with 19. Robinson also holds the record Doors will open one hour prior (o game lime lor all sessions of the A-2 tourney, It was announc ed this morning by Harold Hauk, tournament director.

Wilbur Durfee of Redmond Don Nelson of Coqullle and Earl Doman dominate the rest of the 20 statistical mosts and leasts, St. Helens and Ontario, runner- un last year, lead a majority 01 the team records. The Lions hold share eight marks while the Tigers have parts of five records. The most points scored in a game was 81 by Redmond against Newport. A mark that seems un believable is the 61 rebounds that Ontario pulled down against- the same Newport club. Marks that St. Helens holds arc best percentage game, .483; best percentage tourney, .469; free throws made, tourney, 57; most points game two teams, 139 (vs. Ontario) and then, of course, most points finals. atnyton holds I he distinction of having five records, hut the Kagles are probably anxious to lost them all. They include fewest field goals in a game, lowest per centage for a game, most fouls in a game, fewest field goals in a torney and lowest percentage for a tourney.

Washington's Huskies, in third place behind idle UCLA (13-3) which has completed its season, pulled out a thriller from Wash ington State, 73-72, to keep aliva their mathematical chance of fin ishing in a first place tie.

Bears Use Press California didn't look impressive in winning, but the Trojans clear ly showed the effects of playing eight games in 15 days and were erratic. The Bears used their usual full court press, and forced SC into errors that led to their downfall.
