Devils Trip
Crater High
Quint 66-58
Central Point Coquille high
parlayed hotter shboting, adept
ballhawking, sharper, surer ball
handling and steadier action in
the final clutch into victory over
the Crater Comets here last night
and today celebrated its first
state basketball tournament
berth since 1934.
The Red Devils of the south
western Oregon coastal sector
fought back into control after
a surging Crater rally in the
third quarter, pushed into an
eight-point advantage in the
final stanza and held on with a
slow-down offense to defeat a
stubborn-yielding Comet .quin
tet 66 to 53.
It was the third and deciding
conflict in a two-out-of-three
play-off for the District 6 A-2
championship. For Coquille it
means a trip to the first Oregon
Class A-2 prep cage tournament
at Salem. For Crater it was the
final appearance in basketball as
an A-2 school.
The Devils will play winner
of tonight's District 4 tussle be
tween Sandy and Molalla in
Monday's opening state tourney
round.
All-Out Effort Needed
C&jquille had to go all-out for
its triumph against a Crater ag
gregation which fought its heart
out all the way. The Red Devils
had to overcome Crater leads
six times in the fracas, three
times in the first period and
three again in the third.
But the northern division
titlists, after seeing their 53 to
50 third quarter edge narrow
to 53 to 52 and 55 to 54, got a
free shot by Tom Creager, two
field buckets by sharpshooting
Don Nelson and another goal by
Leroy Sargent for a 62 to 54
spread over Crater with 33A
minutes left to play. That about
did it. 4,
The Devils turned to a ball
control the rest of the' way and,
while the Comets got possession
of the ball on a number of oc
casions, they couldn't bounce
back sufficiently to make up the
deficit. A shot by Bob Gray of
Crater made it 62 to 56. John
Shama dribbled in under the
hoop in the last minute for the
Comets' concluding goal.
Comets Rouse In Third
Most stirring action of the
battle for the home fans was in
the third canto, when the Comets
made a terrific comeback and
outplayed the Devils for most
of the quarter but saw their
efforts erased principally by
the radar-like long range shoot
ing of Coquille's Nelson.
Crater went into the period
lagging 28 to 37. Don Goyette
sliced it to 30 to 37 with a
howitzer but Howard Waggoner
hooked for a bucket and Nelson
tabulated on a feed for an 11
point 41 to 30 Devil bulge. That's
when the Comets went to work.
Dick Callender 'hit a long
range cast, Gray scored on a
rebound and Shama scored on a
steal under the hoop for 36 to
41. Waggoner broke the spell
momentarily with two gifters
but Shama got a singleton and
Callender a tip-in for 39 to 43.
Creager got a brace at the free
throw line for Coquille.- Then
Fred Herrimann got a lone free
point. Gray connected on a re
bound, Callender on two free
tries and Goyette on one to tie
up the gjime at 45-all with 2Vz
minutes left in the quarter. It
was the first tie count since late
in the first period.
Cramer Leads
Herrmann dribbled in under
to give the Comets a 47 to 45
lead. Nelson came back with
the first of three long howitzers
from the left side of the court.
An interception and break en
abled Goyette to score for a
Comet edge of 49 to 47 but Nel
son evened the game. Goyette
got a free heave for 50 to 49
but Nelson retaliated from afar ;
to put Coquille on top for keeps
at 51 to 50. Leroy Ames hit from
in close off some good ball
work and the Devils had their I
quarter-end 53 to 50 standing. I

The Devils rose after that with;

it back at 14 to 13, the game:
was tied at 14-all and Crater re
gained leadership at 16 to 14'.
Sargent's long shot tied up the

John Sullivan
Gets Split- Nod
Over Jack Labua
Syracuse, N. Y. U.R! Middle
weight John L. Sullivan of Eng
land said today his one-point,
split decision over Jackie LaBua
Wednesday night was "the first
good break I've had in a long
time."
Sullivan was awarded the
split verdict for the TV-radio 10-
rounder with Jackie LaBua of
East Meadow, N.Y., only after
Chairman Julius Helfand of the
New York State Athletic Com
mission called attention to the
fact that one of the official
scores had been announced
wrong.
Card Rechecked
After the rough fight, the an
nouncer gave Judge Dick Albi
no's card an even on rounds and
even on points, for a draw; but
Helfand, who already has in
spected the card, asked that it
be brought to him for a recheck.
The announcer then gave the
scoring correctly as 4-4-2 on
rounds and 5-4 on points favor
ing Sullivan.
That "break" gave Sullivan
the fight by a one-point margin
because Referee Joe Palmer had
favored him on rounds, 5-4-1.
Judge Ted Shiels favored LaBua
on rounds, 5-3-2.
In Wednesday night's bout be
tween the two 23-year-olds, Sul
livan forced the fighting
throughout and scored the only
knockdown in the fifth round.

was almost even. Crater picked
off 43 and the Red Devils 41.
Lost balls on both passing
and dribbling hurt the Crater of

livelier reflexes and speed took
advantage of their opportunities
frequently.

Ernie Banks'
Hopeful Sign
By FRED DOWN
United Press Sports Writer
Ernie Banks' first hit of the
new baseball year gave Manager
Stan Hack confidence today that
it'll be 1955 all over again for
the Chicago Cubs' brilliant short
stop. Banks, key man in the Cubs'
hopes of moving up in a balanced
National League, demonstrated
Wednesday that he still has the
'grand slam" touch that made
him the sensation of the circuit
last season.
Banks set a major league rec
ord in 1955 -when he hit five
grand slam homers so it was only
fitting that his first hit of the
new year was a "grand slam
mer." The blow came off a 3-and-2
pitch by John Andre and led
Coach Ray Blades' team to a 7-1
victory over Coach Pepper Mar
tin's team.
Hack also was encouraged by
the debut of Sam (No Hit) Jones,
who turned in two hitless frames
in his first outing of the spring.
Jones pitched the only no-hitter
of the 1955 big league season
and Hack hopes that improved
control will help him better a 13
20 won-and-lost record.
Setting Up Pitchers
Most of the other major league
managers were concerned, mean
time, with setting up their patch
ing rotations for the Grapefruit
League schedule which begins
next Saturday.
Manager Casey Stengel an
nounced that he'd lead off with
Mickey McDermott, the left
hander obtained during the win
ter from Washington, when the
New York Yankees square off
against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Stengel also has Bob Turley
slated to work Sunday and
Whitev Ford to go Monday .in
an effort to get an early look at
three ' of his most important
pitchers.-
The Cleveland- Indians an
nounced that they'll open against
the New York Giants with no
less than Herb Score, the spec
tacular speedballer who set a
rookie record of 245 strikeouts
last season. Manager Marty Mar
ion named 15-game winner Billy
Pierce to work for the Chicago
White Sox in their "opener"
and Manager Bucky Harris list
ed Jim Bunning and Pete Wojey,
both fortified by plenty of win
ter pitching, to go for the Detroit
Tigers. . .
San Francisco Seals'

Ken Aspromonte, prize prospect
of the recent Boston- Red , Sox

Manager Eddie Joost worked
out for the first time, despite a
statement that he hopes he won't
have to play. In batting practice,
Albie Pearson, Pumpsie Green

Joost nominated Stan Willis,

Record Big Game
From Tree Farms
Portland A record harvest
of more than 14.CG0 big game
animals came from tree farms in
Western Oregon and Washington
in 1955, the Industrial Forestry
association has reported.
Not only did the 115,000
hunters who visited the tax-paying
tree farms take their largest
kill, but they were the best be
haved group of nimrods, said W.
D. Hagenstein, managing direc
tor of IFA.
Accurate checks made by 74
industrial tree farms in the Doug
las fir region of the two states
covering 4,266,298 acres, dis
closed 107,516 hunters bagged
11,344 deer, 1,439 elk, 384 bear
and . one mountain goat, for a
total of 13,168 big game animals.
Hagenstein said a projection of
these figures to cover the re
maining 300,000 acres of indus
trial tree farms not reporting
raised the take to 14,089 big
game animals, and the total num
ber of nimrods using tree farms
to 115,042.
Only four forest fires were di
rectly traceable to hunters, Ha
genstein said, as he praised
hunters for their cooperation
with tree farmers.
Forty -four tree farmers re
ported hunters respect for prop
erty, cooperation with foresters,
and general good conduct had im-'
proved, while only 30 tree farm
ers could see no change in the
attitude of a minority of hunters
who still insist on ill treating
roads, signs, and other property.
Dual Capacity
Hagenstein said the tremen
dousTiarvest of big game animals
is further proof of the dual ca
pacity of tree farms as producers
of both timber and game. He
said big game population was on
the upswing on tree farms where
managed forestry insures a ro
tating area of land perpetually
in good game browse.
Complaints from tree farmers
of hu-i':srs who violate their role
as gussts include extensive de
struction o gates and fences pro
tecting dirt roads from car traf
fic during rainy season. Mali
cious damage includes destroying
signs, shooting up gas tanks,
headlights on equipment, section
line markers and direction signs.
There were some thieves
among hunters who stole every
thing from gasoline, after shoot
ing locks off gas tanks, to tools
and some' hunter poured water
into powersaw gas tanks after
emptying the gas. One tree farm
er reports annual damage to dirt
roads on his tree farm runs as
high as $10,000. '
