LADDIE GALE CANT TRY LOCAL COURT;
THERE ARE NO NO. 12 SHOES
By PAUL McCARTY
Tuesday morning before the final
buzzer sounded in the big brick
school building on the hill in north
east Heppner, indicating that the
morning classes of the institution
of knowledge were to formally open,
all the students who follow basket
ball were found to be in an inquir
ing mood, each asking the other,
"Did you see Laddie Gale?" Some
of them had seen him down town
the previous night, and one boy, a
close follower of casaba sessions,
recognizing him from newspaper
pictures, walked up to him, asked
him if he wasn't the person in ques
tion. Gale finally admitted such af
ter joking for a minute, and then
the delighted lad said, "Well, let me
shake your hand." It was just like
striking up an old acquaintance.
Someone will ask, "Who's Laddie
Gale?" Well, anyone who possesses
the least bit of knowledge on col
lege basketball knows personally,
or otherwise, Mr. Gale. He's none
other than the famed University of
Oregon basketball star, a junior,
who scored 249 points in the north
ern division of the Pacific coast
conference to establish a new rec
ord, and who just returned from
the coast play-offs at Palo Alto and
San Francisco, which Stanford took
in two straight games.
The nature of Laddie Gale's visit
in Heppner and at the Norman
Florence farm on upper " Willow
creek is purely pleasure, he coming
up here with a cousin of Norman
Florence, with whom he stays in Eu
gene while attending college. It's the
first trip for Gale to this country
and he liked it immensely but can't
get used to the rolling hills without
trees, which offer such a decided
contrast to those of the valley.
Laddie is a strapping young lad
of 19 who tips the scales at 195 and
penetrates the upper strata at a
height of 6 feet 4 inches. He left
Palo Alto Sunday noon and reached
Heppner Monday afternoon, coming
via Portland. He's a fairly small fel
low compared to Slim Wintermute,
a 6 foot, eight inch giant, and Ray
Jewell, 6 feet 7, both his team mates.
He and his team partners have one
thing in common, says Gale, and
that is in their shoe size. Although
he's far from having the biggest feet
on the squad, he hoofs a number
12 shoe, while John Dick trods on
the same size; Wintermute wears
size 13 and Jewell, a large 14. Be
cause of lankiness, both he and Win
termute, when traveling on road
trips by train, use three berths be
tween them so they will have suf
ficient room for both head and feet.
He played against Hank Luisetti,
the country's number one basket
ball star, at Stanford last week, and
Gale says he's a real player, but
without Hank, the Indians wouldn't
get far. "He's weak on defense,"
said Gale when asked if Luisetti had
any weaknesses. "He plays out where
the guards usually play and that's
why he never fouls."
Gale can't see much in the style
of basketball they play down south,
as fouls are not called very closely.
This lanky Oregon boy who scored
30 points in the two Stanford games
thinks the teams in the northern
division are better than the ones in
the southern division and that they
play a lot better ball up here. "Too
long, much too long," said Gale in
reply to what he thought about the
20-game season that was inaugur
ated this year in the northern di
vision after Montana was added to
the conference.
When asked if he thought Oregon
had good chances of winning the
conference title next season, he an
swered, "Yeah, I think so." His
statement was backed up by the fact
that the only regular the Webfoots
lose by graduation this June is Dave .
Silver, and one reserve, Ray Jewell.
Speaking in modesty, Gale said the
university had some men on the
bench who were as good as the fel
lows playing and all but one will
return next fall. Gale is looking for
ward to next season, for the powers
in control at the Oregon institution
have been talking some of a trip to
Madison Square Garden in New
York to show the eastern fans how
basketball is played by the clubs
from the northwest.
A Phi Delt at the university, Gale
is taking business administration and
physical education, the latter with
the coaching field in mind. He would
like to shoot baskets in the local
gymnasium before he leaves Friday,
but this will be out of the question
unless someone shows up with a pair
of number 12 basketball shoes, as
he left his footwear in Eugene be
fore starting for Heppner. ,
