What's the Matter, Al?
Our friend Al Lightncr, sports editor of the Oregon States
man in Salem, came out with this gem in his pillar recently:
"Al Simpson's Medford Black Tornado, a terrific ball club
which had been unbeaten in 22 tries, including
four rompings with Marble Cook s Klamath
Falls Pelicans, had to go into an overtimer to
beat the Pelicans in the 'counting' district tour
ney even after plastering 'em the four times
during the season. Had K-Falls upset the Tor
nado, just look at what we'd have had in the
state tourney while Medford stayed at home!"
Well, Al, we feel down here that you
wouldn't have had such a bad ball club in
"your" state tournament if K-Falls had dumped
Medford. Considering the fact that we had a
green, inexperienced team to start the season,
the boys did all right. The Pelicans wound up
in second place in the Southern Oregon con-
nnf is. montmn ihp twn nastlllSS theV
handed' your Salem Vikings at the start of the season. But maybe
that's the beef, eh, Al? . , .
Yes sir, we understand the Viks didn't care to play a return
series with the Pelicans after absorbing those two lacings. Simp
son's team may be "terrific," but it's also just about the- luckiest
ball club in the state or it WOULD be staying at home. That
overtimer wasn't any fluke; Al. The Klamath kids outplayed
the Tornado all the way in that ball game. .
Give credit where credit is due, Al. Salem MIGHT be per
suaded to play a ball game in Klamath Falls sometimel

NEW YORK, March 5 (IP)
Spring training opens Wednes
day for the first of the 16 major
league baseball clubs but the
manpower situation remained as
definite as it was January 1.
Because congress has taken no
definite action on proposed
"work or else" legislation, War
' Mobilizer James Byrnes has been
unable to give baseball's spokes
men any definite word on what
to expect.
Meanwhile, the owners have
gone ahead with plans, an
nounced signing of contracts and
drawn up schedules of exhibition
games but still have their fingers
crossed.
Washington breaks the ice
Wednesday when the batterymen
will report to Manager ussie
Bluege at College Park, Md.,
Owner Clark Griffith of the Sen
ators has 24 of 36 men in the
fold, most of any club.

day with their first drill at

ENLARGING

PHOTO SERVICE
211 Underwood Bldg.
In one of the best played, most
thrilling basketball games of the
season, the Barracks hoopstcrs
dropped the powerful Portland
army air base quintet 46-44 Sat
urday nignt on the post hard
wood. With two borrowed sharp
shooters in Ostcrhaus and Hoi-
lingsworth, the air base five was
strengthened considerably but
would have played an entirely
auiercm Dranct or pan it one
Warren Perkins, outstanding
player in the Denver tourna
ment last year, had been left
out. Perkins, without a doubt
one of the finest ball handlers
and shots in the northwest, prac
tically stole the show in the
Army-Marine struggle. Working
on pivot plays, under the bucket
on tip-ins and on long-range
shots, he dropped one after an
other through the mesh for a
total of 20 points. He was also a
constant threat on defensive
plays and put on an interesting
exhibition of ball handling
throughout the tilt.
For the Leathernecks it was
team spirit and cooperation all
the way that brought them their
victory. However, it would be
nara to say that this was the only
factor in their superiority.
Burkland Breaks Loose
Husky forward, Leonard
Burkland, who has had a lot of
tough luck this season, really
broke loose against- the soldiers
to come through with six baskets
for the game. In the first half
Burkland came into the fray
with the Portland team leading
by ten points. Before the close of
that chapter he had personally
accounted for eight markers and
sparked his teammates to tally
ten more.
Red Gilbert, marine pivotman,
put in one of the finest games
this year. Repeatedly giving up
opportunities to score himself,
his passing and set-up plays were
superb and his work under the
basket against Osterhous was
stellar.
PAAB Leads 10 Points
The Portland team drew first
blocd in the opening minutes of
play when Osterhaus plunked in
a charity toss. Then they started
to work on Coach Israel's boys
in earnest, going ahead 10 points
in the first quarter. In the sec
ond canto, Burkland came into
the line-up and things started to
happen. The marines steadilv
closed the gap with Meath, Mills
and Domitrovich working the
ball in to Gilbert 'and back out
again to Burkland. Domitrovich
started to hit the rim and behind
the determined f i g h t of Meath
and Mills, who went out after
the ball on several'occasions, the
half score ended 24-22.
Coming out in the ntnnH
frame and from then on in, the
game was nip and tuck. The
Portland team's Hollingworth
and Perkins were outstanding in
this frame, fighting hard to set
a substantial lead but each time
they dropped one in, the marines
duplicated the order. With less
than two minutes to go and a
two-point lead. Morrisey. Meath
and Domitrovich. started- to
freeze the ball, passing it among
themselves until the final gun.
Some 1500 fans attended the
game and left, thoroughly satisfied-
with the performance. It
was a well-fought battle all the
way and both squads nut on a
marvelous exhibition of sports-
uian&nip.
