The Buffaloes, the trampling variety' that grow in tall herds, rumbled over Dayton of the Ya wama league. 58-40, Tuesday while Scappoose scalped Molalla of the Willamette Valley league, 64-47. Making Madras the favorite is easy for tournament goers, for the Buffaloes of Coach Ole John son whipped Glide, 77-4S, in the first round and don't know what it is to be pushed. They have a victory streak of 31 over two sea sons. The key is height and team work. Dayton vs. Molalla Scappoose, under Coach Jim Kaber, beat Cascade, 64-55, in the opening round Monday.

Molalla Goal Elusive Seldom does a team have shoot' ing troubles like Molalla's. The team of Coach Cliff Snider shot and shot and they weren't far off, but the ball would rattle around the hoop, take a whiff of the state air in the netting and jump out again for a .230 percentage. Qtiartertime scores were 18-10, 34-19 and 56-34, winding up 64-47. Madras Wins Over Dayton Dayton was another to have the frustrating experience of meeting Madras, of having shots blocked and rebounds seized by hands at tached to long arms.

Hedgccock fouled out at the tail end of the third quarter with the score 45-26 for Madras. One particularly dry spell for Davton was at the first of the third period, when Madras widened the gap Irom 26-20 to 36-20 in two minutes with a combination fast break and easy in-under follow-up baskets. That just about separated the Buffaloes from the Pirates. Madras shot .294, but the re serves who played the fourth quar ter brought the percentage down from a higher figure, Dayton shot .195, which is just above the tour ney low mark of .191. Quartertime scores were 14-7, 25-16 and 48-26. Cascade Falls To Drain '5' Cascade felt the pinch of Drain's zone defense in the third quarter after trailing only one point at 25-24. The Warriors widened the gap in a hurry to 39-28 in the next five minutes and by the end of the third quarter were ahead of Cascade 44-29. , Merrill Scores 27 Virgil Merrill, second highest scorer in the tourney, had !7 points, 26 of them before the third period ended. He fouled out e'er the evening was over. The first portion was close, Cas cade holding a 12-11 lead at the end of the first stanza on Gene Spccr's field goal and two free throws.

It wasn't until the last two min utes that Glide was aware that Dick was near the tourney single game record of 34 and missed free throws were costly. He had 17 of Glide's first 30 points. When the score was 30-12 over Reedsport, Coach Lorcn Thornton put in his Wildcat kittens, a five some which averaged only 5 feet 6. The gap closed only somewhat to 30-20 at halftime.

Solon Argues Major Loops Big Business Rep. Ccllcr Claims No Hearings Needed By Congress WASHINGTON-" Rep. Celler (D-NY) says he doesn't think Congress needs a full investiga tion to determine that major league baseball is big business and thus subject to anti-trust laws. "As far as I'm concerned." he said in an interview Tuesday, "I don't need any hearings." And he said baseball commissioner Ford Fnck is trying to play the role ot grand "pooh-bnh" for all base ball. Celler is chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and has sponsored a bill to extend anti trust laws to baseball. The senior Republican member of that Broun. ucp. Keating (NY), taking the op posite view, soys he favors full hearings. Keating added that although his Ideas have not "entirely crystal lized," he does not believe anti trust legislation was designed to cover sports. The question of whether base ball is big business flared anew two weeks ago when the Supreme court ruled professional football Is subject to antitrust statutes. The court previously had declared baseball exempt. Celler criticized Frick for sug gesting that baseball people de cline comment on supreme Court decisions. Frick wants to gag every body," Celler said. "He wants to be the pooh-bah and the only one."
