PXGE EIGHT Medford-Astoria Cage Tussle Carries Big Thrill for Tourney Fans Rafters Ring As Teams Stage Hard-Fought Battle Scheel, Harrington and . Lindley Are Outstanding SALEM, March 18-IV-Only four teams Astoria, Benson, Corvallu and Balem remain In the running (or championship honors, but eight other teams will continue tneir oauie w day for follow-up honors In the an nual state basketball tournament here. Probably the games most Ilercely fought were those between Medford and Astoria, lost by one point, and Oorvallls and Nehalem, whoreln the small school was defeated by throe points after a tie score shortly be fore the end of the contest. Both of these games brought Che largo crowd to their feet, while tr.e Wil lamette gymnasium has not heard as much cheering since rxe final game of the tournament last year. Salem Has Easy Time, Yesterday's games resulted In elim inating entirely from further play, Baker, Burns, Oregon City and Klam ath Falls. Today two more will see the finish, the losers In the mom lng contests, while the o'hers will play tomorrow. 8a3em had an easy time with Hood River, the Columbia river boys offer ing little) opposition to the team which in the first game bad a fight on Its hands to overcome Msrahfleld- Benson likewise had no trouble to win from Its Portland opponent and the tech men repeated their previous treatment of the Lincoln players to the score of 83 to 14. Medford Favored Today. In the consolation games today, observers are favoring University over Athens, Marahfleld esslly over Silver ton, Medford to take Lincoln and Nehalem victor over Hood River. But in the championship bracket tonight very little dope Is avallab'e. Salem, probably because of the many sup porters of the school here, U given an edge over Corvallls, while Benson seems to have the edge over Astoria. Nehalem, the school with a report ed enrollment of 80 boys, was given the support of virtually all Icval fans In their first game here, but they lost the heart-breaking event to Corvallls. It was the fastest game to oate In the tournament. The taller players from the State college town were on top from the start, and played with a determination to win, while Ne hslem's offensive failed to click at - the beginning. fcora Often Tied. The score was tied twice In the first quarter and then In the lost at 84 all. The final was 88 to 38. Coach Burgher's Medford high bas ketball team, which was hardly rated to give the Astoria quintet, with Its five tournament veterans, more than a stiff workout, went down only one point to a 30 to as defeat, after lead ing at half time. It was a hard fought game with many fouls on each side, resulting In both teams losing a player on personals early In the second half. Cannessa, substitute forward for Astoria, replaced Bergstrom, who foul ed out, and the crowd thought the fishermen's chances for a win were lowered. It proved Just site reverse, for in less than a quarter Cannessa scored seven points and brought As toria up to the load which staved off defeat. Old Flint Revives. When the Astoria men reached the 30-polnt mark, their scoring for the day was finished, but not so with Medford who had only 19 points at that time. The same old fighting spirit known to the Medford teams of old was brought Into play by Harrington and Scheel. Llndloy also figured strongly In the victory and proved to be a great tournament player. Medford's crowning achievement was to score five points In the last 88 seconds of the game. Lindley started It off by converting a free throw and Scheel dropped two short shots on tip-off plays bofure the final gun ended play. Medford led 8 to 6 at the end of the first quarter and 13 to 13 at I half time. The unorthodox shooting for which Astoria has been noted, pulled the game out of . the fire. Scheel was the outstanding player of the game: Summary: Astoria (30) PO FT PF 1 0 Palmberg, F Bergstrom, F. Orvick, O.
