Klamath Reai
With Pendleton Tonight
Bocchi, Foster Faced a "Fire
Department" Attack in Final Half
' ' SALEM, ' March 12 (P) Astoria's hard-running Fishermen
have the prestige of western Oregon to defend tonight in the
Oregon high school basketball tournament as well as their cham
pionship. Except for the expected first-round triumph of Astoria, the
entrants from east of the Cascades Baker, Pendleton and Klam
ath Falls chased all the others out of the championship flight
In the A division yesterday and romped into the semi-finals.
Baker's tall Bulldogs were so impressive in their 54-36 vic
tory over St. Helens, district 3 titlists, last night that many a
veteran tourney expert picked them to upset Astoria, now head
erf for it third straieht cham-
pionship. The Bulldogs get tneir
chance tonight
Klamath Falls' Pelicans also
made an impressive showing in
junking the title hopes of Eu
gene, the best of the tough
teams in district 6, with an easy
30-19 victory. Klamath Falls
and Pendleton 'will meet to
night in the other semi-final
bracket.
Pendleton, the pride of dis
trict .- 2, had the narrowest
squeeze of the winners in the
first round. Plainly weary from
spending 12" of the last 16 pre
tourney days in traveling and
playing to win the district play
offs, the Buckaroos defeated
Oregon City of district 4, 30-29.
The Fishermen, defeating Sa
lem, the tournament host, 32
25, played much as they have
all season effectively enough
to win every game.-
Baker's district 1 champions,
led by towering Bob Hender
son, gave the fans - a neat ex
hibition of driving, point-making
basketball. The 6-foot 3-inch
center caged 19 points while
his forward mates did almost as

well, Joe Miller counting 13

got the first basket. After that
the Bulldogs did as they pleased.
Klamath Falls of district 7,
which includes southern' and
southeastern Oregon, combined
height and speed effectively to
drive Eugene's Axemen out of
championship play. Jim Bocchi,
Pelican guard, led the attack
with 10 points and Forward
Welch tallied eight. ' Sparkling
work off the backboards was a
major factor in enabling the
Pelicans to forge ahead after
trailing at the half 12-11. Bocchi
and Foster faced a "fire de
partment" attack in the final
half that left the Axemen be
hind. It was Guard Bender who
heroed Pendleton's victory over
Oregon City. Only once did he
score during the entire contest
but that was a field goal with
35 seconds to go. It was the
margin over the fighting Ma
roons. Forward. Catterall .with
13 points was the scoring main
stay of the Buckaroos- while
Gettel led the Maroons with 12.
Astoria demonstrated against
Salem its five-man scoring at
tack tough to halt in any com
petition. Crandall and Lee, the
guards, each had eight, Center
Johnson seven and Forward
Seeborg six. The other forward,
Bryant, scored three.
The Fishermen led except for
a bit at the opening of the game
and kept the play in hand
throughout. In the final period,
Salem began an all-out offensive
attack but the Fishermen mere
ly stepped up their own pace
and the best the Vikings could
do was whittle Astoria's lead
two points by the time it was
over.

Ross Gets
Plenty of
Handshakes
Hero, With Mother,
Mayor Kelly, Greeted by -Chicago's
Large Crowd
CHICAGO. March 12 (IP)
This voodoo walking stick of Ma
rine Corp. Barney Ross the
hero boy of Guadalcanal, no less
may become as famous as Al
Smith's derby or Hollywood's
lion. It's making the rounds like
the water, dipper, at a country
picnic.
It was gripped by more hands
last night than was the fighting
fist of Barney, who was once
lightweight and welterweight
boxing champion. And there
were hands aplenty reaching to
shake the hand that held the gun
and grenades that killed 22 Japs
that night Barney stood guard
over wounded companions in the
Solomons island jungle.
While Barney got a shave and
his proud mother and Mayor Ed
ward J. Kelly waited with the
milling crowd at Barney's hero
reception in a loop hotel, the
voodoo stick served as his stand
in. A Ross friend was its guardian
until a photographer wanted it
as a "prop" for a picture of
Barney. A house detective inter
cepted and lateralled to a hotel
official who passed neatly to one
of Barney's brothers who yielded
it to a news reel man who got no
farther than the door before the
law grabbed hold again.
That stick, plus the new gray
in Barney's dark hair and. the
limp and the heavy tan on his
face and the memories of that
terrible night in Guadalcanal
made up the trophies Ross
brought home to an adoring mob
that greeted him at the airport.

Klamath Falls was trailing at
half-time 12-11 in yesterday's
state tournament game at Salem.
It looked for a while that the
tournament Jinx was coming
back again, but the Pelicans got
back on their
feet with their
new coach,
Wayne Scott,
and went out to
take an easy last
half and to win
:i(M9.

LI 7 Lmml Pendleton a t
7:30 p. m. lor tne
semi-finals part of the tourna
ment. Pendleton edged out Ore
gon City 30-29 last night in the
first round with Catterall lead'
ing in high point honors of 13.
He may get hot tonight against
Klamath, but remember Snidow,
the North Bend ace. who was
supposed always to make half of
his team's score. He was held
down to six tallies that night in
Ashland.
Come what may, but we pick
Klamath to be in the finals with
Baker. Baker took St. Helens
with a walloping score of 54-36,
and Astoria won over Salem
32-25 in the first rounds. There
was no real high individual scor
ing honors for Astoria except
for two men making eight tallies
each. But in . reviewing the
Baker summary, three men were
high and we do mean just that.
Henderson had 19, Miller had
13, and Sowers had only 12.
Baker may have a tough time
winning over Astoria but those
are our predictions.
BOB BARRY DAY
Captain Maples just informed
us that Sunday will be National
Army day, and this is observed
annually throughout the nation.
With Barry and his Klamath
county baseball team playing
against the soldiers, boxers, and
real soldier ceremonies it should
be a pip of a day.
Barry claims that his team is
gradually taking shape. Bannis
ter, his star pitcher from Swan
son's barber shop, has been giv
ing some close shave throughout
the entire week and says he is
in perfect shape .... but Barry
is a man that takes no chances
. . . he has Red Sanders ready
to go in there at any time.
Big Barrel-chested Sergeant
Melton promised that he will
have fighters who will partici
pate in his boxing program. In
fact, they are going to lay aside
their guns and listen to the ser
geant's admonition "come out
fighting at the bell."
Barry expects a huge crowd
at Camp Newell come Sunday
at one o'clock. It being Army
day, a large crowd of Legion
naires and many mothers and
fathers of men in the armed
service will be expected to be
present.
The ceremony will be extra
special with the close order drill
and the flag will be lowered at
the end of the day. Inspection
of the barracks and the kitchen
will be showed to the public.
There will be a small admis
sion into the camp and all that
is taken in will go to the sol
diers' fund for athletic equip
ment. Sill Dala' Aaaotlatad

Legislature Adjourns
Ending Game Arguments
OLYMPIA, March 12 (JP)
Elderly and blind advocates of
a sunny river bank and a fish
ing pole, and farmers seeking
protection from the ravages of
deer and elk won victories in
bills enacted by the 1943 legis
lature, which adjourned early
loday.
Legislative action, pending
executive approval or rejection,
opened the doors to free angling
for all persons over 65 years of
age, veterans of the Civil and
Spanish - American wars and
blind persons.
Another battle of long dura
tion came to a temporary halt
with approval of a special 10-
day state fishing license to non
resident tourists.
Principal interest of the
sportsmen, however, centered
about the fight by farmers and
ranchers of the state to obtain
protection from and damages
for havoc done to crops and
trees by hungry and fractious
deer and elk.
Although neither farmers nor
the sportsmen could claim a
major triumph, it could be said
that both obtained what they
sought.
As finally approved, crop
protective legislation entailed
an appropriation of $100,000
from the state game fund to be
used by the department in erec
tion of fences and other protec
tive devices, and authorized any
owner or leasee of cultivated
agricultural o r horticultural
lands to kill marauding deer
and elk found in the act of
damaging crops or property.
A proposed SZ00.OOU approp
riation for payment of damages
claimed by farmers and rancn
ers was shelved in favor of a
$60,000 sum inserted in the sup
plemental, budget for that pur
pose. A study of further ramifica
tions of. the problem and a re
Dort to the 1945 legislative as
sembly will be made by a six-
man interim committee appoint
ed by Lt. Gov. Victor A. Mey
ers and Speaker of the House
Edward J. Reilly (D-Spokane).
Members of the committee will
be Senators Barney Jackson
(D-Pierce), Carl C. Mohler
(D-Thurton) and Lester T. Par
ker (R-Grays Harbor), and Rep
resentatives Robert M. French
(R-Okanogan), Fred J. Martin
