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.

OPEN EVENINGS UNTIL 8:30 P. M.
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.

Beavers Take Early Second
Half Lead Third Game
Monday Night.
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.
