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:
