' Corvallis, third-place finisher In the No Name league and beaten twice previously by Sa lem, concentrated on checking the high-scoring Vikings to such an extent that the first halt ended, 3-3. Corvallis began to slip through the Salem defense in the last half, while the Vikings, among the tourney favorites, could not connect with the basket. Scoring more points than either of those teams was Bill Musgrove, Vale center, who ac counted for 24 tallies against Mount Angel. His efforts were nullified, however, by Mount An gel's Grosjacques brothers, Leo and Frank, who scored 19 and 17 points respectively.

March 11 (Spl) This, aparently. Is to be a tourna ment of upsets. We saw the first one happen last night the whipping of a Salem team, 19 to 11. by a Corvallis quintet that on past rec ords didn't have a chance to defeat the mighty Vikings. Salem, In the No-Name league this season, had beaten the Spartans twice by substantial margins. Nobody in the almost filled gym sincerely believed the Vikings could lose this one not with such performers as Dutch Simmons and Rex Hardy and Bud Coons, purported all-state material. But It happened. It happened because a Corvallis team that fought like no other team of high school calibre we have ever witnessed, fought. Not even when the halftlmet score was the incredible 8-3, did the partisan crowd believe there was a possibility that Harold Hauk's crew could lose. But, as the game wore on and the Frank Ramsey crowd built up a 12 to 7 lead at the end of the third period. It became apparent that something was happening. Spartan Zone Defense Something to Behold It was, too. The zone defense employed by the Spartans was something to behold. Though Salem missed cripple shots ga lore, they were always pressed by the close-checking Vikings and never did they really get a clear heave at the bucket. Simmons, for example, scored exactly three points one field goal and one free throw. Sim mons, it might be mentioned, broke the No-Name league scor ing record this season as his club won 10 out of 10. Jason Widmer, the short, stub by red-headed guard and team captain, was the big gun In the Corvallis conquest. The little fellow had that ball all eve ning, driving down the floor and setting up what few plays Cor vallis used, which wasn t many as the score of the game attests. He wag a fireball, though, and was 99 per cent responsible for the Spartan win. This Corvallis team. Incident ally, is coached by big Frank Ramsey, the ex-Oregon State college football hero and cur rent Spartan grid mentor. Ram sey fell Into the cage tutoring post when Forrest "Skeet" O'Connell, former Ashland high coach, resigned at Corvallis to accept a position in California. Skeet quit right In the middle of the season, and there was nothing left for Ramsey to do but take over the basketball coaching post. He did, and with evident successful results. The Corvallis quint, which defeated Medford when the Tigers were "down." In an overtime period, don't do much on the floor. They don't have any plays to speak of and not magnificent material, but they do have guts.

Mayfield, and it has a good dining room There won't be any parties or such to take the Tigers' minds off the business at hand. Bill Wall is doing OK, al though still a little weak.

J, March 11. UrV-As though Income tax time and the draft and such matters weren't enough Just now, the heavyweights In gen eral and ample Abie Simon in particular were informed today that Joe Louis is stronger now than he's ever been. Of course, this is like saying a red pepper Is hotter when doused with mustard, but it Is the awful truth, nevertheless, because buck private Joe, him self, says it's so. What's more, Joe says, this army life Is the thing that turned the trick and changed him from a compara tive weakling into the great big strong man he's suddenly be come. "It's not only the army work and stuff," Private Joe said as he went through his chores In preparation for his March 37 Madison Square Garden party with Simon. "But when you're in the army, you don't get out as much. There's not so much time for foolin' around. So you Just build up naturally." Full Program Joe Isn't kidding about that His program these days is as full as a glamour gal's date book. He's up at six a. m. for six miles of roadwork. When he comes back he takes an hour's nap, then sits down for some work with a. knife and fork, and then has to run through his two-hour dally drill in his basic army training. Af ter that he has his work to do for the army emergency re lief fund affair with Abie. When dinner's over, any time before the lights go out at 10 o'clock can be used to play some table-tennis, toss some darts, have a whirl at gin rummy or checkers or some ele gant jive pouring from the elec trical music box someone gave him for a Christmas present. All of these recreations are laid out on the first floor of a fight training headquarters, the like of which hasn't been seen since Max Baer used to cover the Broadway beat. At the TRAINING CAMPS (By the Assoaiated Preis) Lakeland, Fla. The Detroit Tigers play their fourth and final intra squad game today with Virgil (Fire) Trucks, Lyn Wood (Schoolboy) Rowe, Hal White and Earl Cook slated to pitch. Coach Merv Shea's Lambs and Coach Charley Gehr lnger's Wolves each have won a contest and a third was tied. San Bernardine, Calif. A rookie team which beat the re gulars 1 to 0 yesterday behind the five-hit pitching of Lloyd Dictz and Rip Sewell will face Seattle today In the Pittsburgh Pirates' first exhibition game. A triple by Johnny Barrett and a long fly by John Wyrostek, two young outfielders, provided the run. Miami. Fla. Capt. Billy Jur ges, a New York Giant holdout until late last week, thinks he has reached the point where he can make a serious threat to oust Veteran Dick Bartell from the shortstop position. Jurges will see some action in today's encounter with the Philadelphia Phils. St. Petersburg, Fla.

CP) The Yale corporation Is slated to meet Saturday and do something about selecting a new foot ball coach for Old Ell and from all indications there's a 50-50 chance that a teacher of the "T" formation will be chosen. Two names probably will be presented for consideration. The University bloc, including most of the athletic department and certain undergraduate groups, apparently favors elevating Ivan Williamson, the old Michigan player who has been a Yale assistant coach since 1934. The grads, represented by the alumni advisory committee, have been surveying coaches who have made names for them selves through recent successes. In this category are Clark Shaughnessy of Stanford, Henry Frnka of Tulsa and Frank Mur ray of the University of Vir ginia. Bud Wilkinson, Syracuse assistant coach, also was under consideration but apparently will go to Minnesota as fresh man mentor. Unless Frnka, former Temple assistant who gave Tulsa a Sun Bowl team in his first season, breaks In as "dark horse" can didate, the alumni choice seems to be limited to a pair of prom inent exponents of the "T," Shaughnessy and Murray. Army Draft Taking Portland Team Toll San Jose,' Calif.. March 11.

The score was one-up, after Coggin had fired two successive birdies to square the match at-, the 34th hole.
