Tillamook Drops Balem
Balem high, host team and always
rated as a strong contender, fell vic
tim to a flashy Tlllsmook quintet
last night, 85 to 3. Moore, Tilla
mook forward, provided considerably
more than the margin of victory
h scored 18 points. It was the first
time Salem has been eliminated In
the first round In 13 years.
In the final gams last night, Mll-ton-Freewater
held Bend to three
field goals while piling up eight of Its
own and was mentioned considerably
as the possible dark horse of the tour
nament. RoKbyrg Victim
Franklin hlfh sailed Into the sec
ond round by virtue of a 35-to-39
Tlctory over Roeeburg. The Portland
ore held a comparatively safe margin
late In the game but saw It dwindle
to six points under a desperate and
sear-successful attack In the cloelng
moments.
Astoria and Benson provided the
claaslo of tee day but the Fishermen
proved their superiority even
though Benson scored 18 field goals
to Astoria's 13. The Aatorlana wera
too clever In ball-handling and floor
work and made good a substantial
portion of their gift shots. Fouls were
called on only one member of the
Astoria starting lineup.

DOES A RUN-OUT
Ken Rollls. cross-(trained Arkansas
meanle wrest If r, yesterday evening
completed his threatened run-out
on his contract to wrestle here for
two more weeks, and returned to
his Im Ang-rle haunts, where he
claims he is better appreciated. The
departure of Hollta moved Promoter
Mack LUlard to the determination
to complete his earlier threat, and
LUlard said today that he will ak
tha Medford boxing commission to
auipend Hollla Inde finitely.
Advised of this Impending move,
Hollle expressed Uttls concern, as
suring LUlard that he cared not hind
for the actions of the boxing com
mission in "that little two-peanut
Joint. In removing himself from
this vicinity. Hollls remarked that he
didn't like Med ford, anyway.
The next move Is up to Ullard
and the promoter stated that he
will ask tha tos Angeles booking
office to suspend Hollis from Call
torn la rlnira for at least 30 l!ra
for failure to lira up to a contract.
Mollis' determination to leave th's
sector was not tha result or any
salary' dispute, but came solely be
cause of his dltgnintlement at the
refereelng of Ray Friable, and the
liberality of Med ford audiences In
booing him and thro me, cigarette

WRESTLE PETE
With the departure of Ken Hollla,
Arkansas. Under who drew million of
boohi from Med ford wrMtllnf fan
for hie dirty effort la the line, Pro
motor Mack Ltllard hi secured & new
nun to face wildcat Pete Belcastro in
the main erent of next Monday's card
at the Armory, he announced today,
Belcaatro, Pacific ooaat Junior
heavyweight champion and one of the
favorite gre-ppJere with Mod ford audi
encea. will square off against Norman
Mack, rough, tough arvd aggressive
OkUhom&n, who. at 166 pounds, la
nearly of a size with the Italian flesh
Mack comes billed as one of the
most spectacular men In the game.
He Is new to the Pacific coast, hay
lng Just completed wrestling tour
of the New England states and the
Atlantic seaboard, but his prowess Is
well known even as far west as Los
Angeles, LUlard said. Built along the
same general lines as Hon is, Mack Is
said to be an artist at taking punish
ment as well as dishing It out.
Mack la only one of three new stars
who will perform here Monday. The
others are "Prince" Mlhallllas, Ara
bian nobleman, who Is Inclined to
ward the boisterous In his ring activi
ties, and Joe Marsh, big. undersflung,
and powerful Missouri grappler who
ts also new to the coast.
All three of the newcomers are
rough and rugged men. Prlrioe Ml
hallllas Is pitted against the Russian
Lion, Al Karaalok, in the middle main
event, In a bout that seemingly has
everything demanded of a "natural,"
and Marsh will lino up against Dr.
Barney Cosneck, Ph.D from the Uni
versity of Illinois. Oosneok made him
self an extremely popular young man
last Monday when he flattened the
smoke breathing Mike Cad dock In al
most less time than It takes to re
count the details. I
Accord lng to Ullard, Ooaneok Is
faster and cleverer than Marsh, but
the Missouri pride Is rougher In his
methods. The roughness may tend to
offset some of Cosnenk's skill, al
though Oaddook didn't find that the
case In hta bout with the mercuric
professor.
"The card Is the strongest I've had
In some time, and I'm really proud of
It," LUlard said In announcing the
lineup.

After the first few surprised howls

the Ashland debacle at the hands of
the Corvallis basketball team last
night. 40-18, the thing will be dis

"ZYZZLE"
JUST suppose you wanted to find the word zyzzle In
the dictionary. Would you start at the first page, leaf
through the entire book and come finally to the last
word, on the last page? That, you say, would be an
insane waste of time.
Now, suppose you need accessories for houseclean
ing. Suppose you need, soap, or floor-wax, or a pail
and mop. Many stores are featuring real bargains in
household needs for spring. Yet you waste time and
effort, if you walk from store to store . . . wander from
counter to' counter looking for what you want at the
price you want to pay.
Instead, you may sit comfortably at home and learn
where and when to make the best buys. That's all
printed for you in the advertisements of this paper. You
have only to read them and heed them to save time,
save tiresome shopping, and save money.
