Tournament Sidelights The Salem students were out In force again last night. Since their own team Is eliminated, they had to have some one to cheer for, so they supported Medford against Corvallis, and Baker against Astoria. At least, they were consistent In picking the losers. About the best example of sportsmanship in the tournament was sen after last night's Med-ford-Corvallis game. Although It was a tough loss for them, the Medford players after the game all congratulated the Cor vallis boys. And they meant it, too. CAMPUS BOXERS Sacramento, March 14.

Another triple ply heavy weight wrestling card will get under way at the armory arena Monday night. For the benefit of the fans and with little regard for the life or limb of the contestants, Promoter Mack Lillard has shuffled up a card that should be a delight to the wrestling fans' ego. In the top spot or main event Vincent Lopez, the unruly Mex ican, meets Pedro Brazil, the popular South American heavy weight title holder. Lopez, in his only appearance In the local ring, had no trou ble In disposing of Joe Corbctt. Lopez also turned on the hot faucet on occasion and had the ire of the local fans blowing his way. Brazil Is one of the most liked performers on the Pacific coast at present and is a master of legitimate holds and lever ages. Brazill will be favored to upset the Mexican if a sem blance of law and order are mnntained by the referee. The seml-wlndup match will stir up some heat when the wield and surly Cy Williams tangles with the well-liked Irish heavyweight Jim Casey. Casey, in his solo appearance last Mon day copped the eye of some of the old timers at the rlnsslde with his clever style. Both of these muscle men hit the Fair banks at about 230 pounds.

Palo Alto, Calif., March 14 UP) Oregon State college beat Stanford, 42 to 33, tonight to even the games at one apiece In their current play-off for the Pacific Coast conference basket ball championship. Stanford won last night's game, the first of the play-off, by a score of 41-28. Oregon State's win tonight will neces sitate the third game of the series, which will be played here Monday night. The first half of the game ran nip and tuck with the score being tied eighjt times. It was a standstill at half-time, 18 to 18 The Beavers Jumped into the lead at the start of the second half with two fast baskets by substitute forward George Mc Nutt, who got Into the game last night as a sub and did so well that Oregon State started him tonight. From then on, the Beavers were always In front. The In dians never threatened the Beav ers' lead by more than four points at any time thereafter McNutt took the high-scoring honors for the evening with 14 points. Close behind was John Mandic, O. S. C. center, who made 13. Stanford's high-scorer was Jack Dana, forward, who dropped in a total of 11 points. Dana la a substitute who replaced Co-captain Don Burness in the starting line-up tonight. Burness Injured his ankle last night and was on crutches tonight. Orexon State switched Its de fense tonight from the man-for-man, which was used last night, to a zone set-up. As a result the Indians got few clear shots and almost no follow shots. Mandic was especially effec tive defensively against the fol low -up shots, and made some nice pivot shots to spur the O.S.C. attack. The Beavers' offense was a slow, deliberate type with a few long shots mixed in by Paul Valentl, guard, who made three long ones that pulled the Stan ford defense out of line. This loosened up the tight Indian de fense and the Beavers came in and started shooting under the basket. A crowd of 2.900, 100 short of the capacity of the Stanford pavilion, saw the game.
