In this game Carson secured four
fouls and made eight .field goals.
Main w aring, made two Aeld goals.
The line-up of the two teams was the
same as in the game here.
Tillamook is now claiming that
they have a right to play Newberg
again for the district championship.
However, on the face of the stand
ings we do not see that they have
any grounds for their contention.
The teams in this district are New
berg, Tillamook, McMinnville, Forest
Grove. Hillsboro, Dayton. Clover-
dale. There may be seme .other
small teams but they are not at all
in the running. All of these teams
have been eliminated by defeats ex
cept Newberg and Tillamook. New-
berg’s two defeats of McMinnville
put them out of the running and
then for good measure Tillamook de
feated McMinnville at Mac on Mon
day night of this week. The records
of Tillamook and Newberg are there
fore the only ones which we need to
consider.
Newberg has
defeated
Forest
Grove twice. McMinnville twice, T il
lamook once. Hillsboro twice and
Dayton once. They lost one game to
Tillamook. This gives them a per
centage in the district of .888. T il
lamook has defeated Forest Grove
twice, Newberg once, > McMinnville
once, Dayton once and Cloverdale
once and they have been defeated by
Newberg once and by Dayton once.
This gives them a percentage in the
district of .750. They will play Mc
Minnville again at Tillamook on Sat
urday evening and should they win
this game it will bring their per
centage up to .777 which would still
be below Newberg’s record.
The directors or judges 6f the dis
trict are Prof. Turnbull of Tillamook.
Supt. A. C. Stanbrough of Newberg
and Supt. Dopp of Forest Grove. It
will doubtless be up to these three to
decide which teams are champions
and what shall be done in the matter
However, with the reaords as they
are. we can see no -reason for New
berg’s not representing the district.
Tillamook, we understand, claims
that the game with Dayton was not
a regular gam * but only a practice
contest. Yet Dayton is a high school
within the district and certainly if
Tillamook played two games with
Dayton these must have been sched
uled as regular contests.
Newberg Is not afraid to play T il
lamook on rfhme neutral floor but
there would be a considerable exv .
pense involved and moreover thp"
championship contests are to com

such a contest mltfht be disastrous
to the Newberg boys at Salem, even
though they won, as some of : the
team might be crippled and they

strain Just prior to the state cham
