Newspaper Page TextDDPDOUD By HALE SCARBROUGH 4 1 ? Raise The Ante The latest we hear on the fnnthnll coach dilemma at Klanv ath Union high school is that Klamath is prccisel y where it was several weeks ago, except ' that most of the prospects teen then aren't pros pects any long er. The job is being given a wide berth, ap parently. When Al Simpson decid ed that Salem was the place for him, the school board still had another string on its fiddle Joe Houston, pre war mentor at Bend. Houston is back from the navy and has hooked on with Roose velt in Portland. He was down here, . looked over the plant, talked with officials and was made an offer to think over. That was during the time the Al Simpson iron was in the fire. Well, the Simpson deal fell through, so Houston was con tacted again. Now all is not roses wife him either. Joe feels that his services in Klamath Falls would be worth $3900 a year, and he's probably right, but that figure represents a num ber of American iron men more than the salary offered" by the school board. In a town like Klamath, where a good football team is the unanimous desire, $3900 a year is not too much to pay for a coach. Not in times like these. The persons who watch the purse strings are going to find that out. It leads us to wonder how much money football brings into the high school You don't hire anybody these days for what you could hire them ten years ago, and you sure don t hire a loot ball coach with a college education and future to look at for marbles. High school coaching is a career now, not experience enabling the mentor to possibly hook on with a college at some later date. If you want quality you've got to pay for it, m anything. Just as a tip to the school board, Hank Nelson, who was co-coach with Houston at Bend in 1941, is back from the army and is at Bend now. Maybe he hasn't, tied the knot for next year. But the ante is going to have to oe raised. In casual conversation you can find plenty of people in this town wno wanted frame Ram sey to have the job instead of a runaround, and there is little doubt Frank .would have given us a team to shout about. As one ex-serviceman to an other, we can easily realize the thoughts that went through Ramsey's mind when he saw the gates closing here and as one ex-marine to another, we can easily imagine Frank s vocal comments on the affair. Ramsey is still in Corvallis, we hear, and has recently put a little money into a contracting business. He'll probably go back to Chicago and play for the Bears this fall. Reedsport Has Rough Time At B School Meet ARLINGTON, March 8 (iT) Four scrappy little schools will vie tonight for final spots in the state high school "B" tourna ment Reedsport vs. St. Paul and Echo vs. North Powder. The Reedsport Braves, gallery favorites for the title, found it rough going against Pleasant Hill's Hill Billies but pulled a 47-45 overtime win out of the fire yesterday. A fast St. Paul five crushed Sacred Heart of Tillamook, 51-33, with no trouble. Echo, district 7 champ, overcame a first-period disadvantage to hand Rogue River a 40-27 setback. North Powder had to work for its 36-28 victory over Odell.

KLAMATH FALLS BUYS PLANTATION Two of last night's rassling bouts ended in TKOs and if the final bell had held off ten sec onds more the other would have ended the same way. Martinelli and Al Szasz drew in the opener, but when time was up Angelo was in no condition to do any more grappling. Paavo Katonen, who has for gotten more rassling tricks than the majority of grapplers know, got the only fall in the finale, the tumble coming in the third frame on what appeared to be a questionably low knee jam. Joe Lynam clutched that part of his body near the top of his trunks and hit the floor in agony, but Referee Wally Moss was un able to say whether a foul had been committed, so the bout went on. Paavo cannonballed Joe a couple of times, then flop ped on him for a press. Katonen was awarded the fight when Joe couldn't get to his feet. Bob Keneston and Earl Ma le ne minished each other for four rounds and a fall each be fore the Salt Lake City tough had to be peeled off the mat like a porous plaster. Keneston naa just applied his Gold Hill crab, adding an extra wrench to Earl's spine in retaliation for a long series of uncouth Malone tactics. Malone got his fall in the open ing seconds of the third frame with a reverse crao, tnen as tne next frame opened Bob caught E;-rl coming in lor tne kin, dropkicked him to the mat and clairroed on his soecialty. Al Szasz in the opener proved to be the best man Angelo Mar tinelli has had his hands on in a lone time, andthe tumbling duo threw each other all over the ring for the full three frames. Basin League Title Game Played Tonight Tonight on the Altamont court Ashley's Chevrolet battle the Chiloquin AB Bakers for the championship of the Klamath Basin independent basketball league and the handsome trophy that goes with the title. The titular scrap is slated to take the floor about 8:30, imme diately after the consolation or third-place game between Tule lake's Associated Oil and Rickyi Jewelers, opening at 7:30. Chiloouin and Ashleys sur vived Wednesday night's first rounds, although the Tulelake quint was top-seeded after fin ishing the season in a iirst-place deadlock with the Bakers. PHILADELPHIA Lennox Dingle, 150, Philadelphia, out pointed Indian Gomez, 156, Ha vana, 8. Jimmy Moore, 138, Chester, Pa., outpointed Johnny Craven, 151, Philadelphia, 6. Pleasant Hill fracas. Dick Mooney plopped in the winning goal on a long pass from Clyde De Witt, sharpshooting forward who racked up 21 points. Chet Hutton grabbed 19 for the los ers, The St. Paul Buckaroos (2B) led throughout 10 to 5, 20 to 9, and 38-16 at the quarters. Lindy Phillips, high scoring guard, chalked up 21 points. St. raul had hard luck, however, when Forward Dave Smith sprained his ankle in the second half, possibly putting him out of the tourney, The Echo Cougars ran up an 18-12 halftime margin although they were lagging 10-7 at the end of the first eight minutes Rogue River struggled to match the pace, but failed. Meechan scored 13 for Echo. North Powder slugged it out with Odell on a fairly even basis until the second period then scooted to a 20-14 half time lead. Odell tried again and again but couldn t hit the hoop Moilamaa tallied 14 for the winners. The champion will be decid ed tomorrow night. Last Pair Of Tourney Seats Open By The Associated Press Battles for the last two berths in Oregon s state basketball "A" tournament will be vaeed to night on two fronts Redmond and Salem with the Salem Vik ings and Pnneville looming as probable victors. The lengthy double elimina tion tourney in district 11 goes into what may be its last con test at Mount Angel tonight, with Salem meeting Silverton. A victory by the Vikines. who downed Silverton 41-26 earlier in the tourney, would gain Sa- lem a spot m tne March 12-16 tournament which it hosts. A Silverton victory would require a Saturday night playoff. . Over at Redmond, the two-dav district 3 tournament rolls into motion tonight. Prineville, with a season record of 25 wins in 30 starts, is heavily favored over the other three contestants. Prineville will be nitted against Lakeview, which finished tourtn of the district teams in season play; and Bend, runner-up in season play, will meet third place Redmond. The fifth district member. Burns, ended the sea son in the cellar and did not win a place in the tourney. CHICAGO Freddie Dawson. 1361, Chicago, knocked out Nick Castiglione, 139, Chicago, 2.

The world's heavyweight box ing champion launched a 49-day tunine up program at this vil lage Spa in tiic first phase of his conditioning in preparation for the defense of his title against ChaFengcr Billy Conn in New York'u Yankee stadium June 19. The second phase begins May 1 at Pompton Lakes, N. J., when he starts his boxing drills. Louis, arriving tired with his party of four after a 287 mile drive from Chicago, found tho signs of spring everywhere. Buds were swelling on trees, fat robins chirped and flowers were poKing tneir nuacis up iruin tne rapidly drying soil. The tem perature hit 64 yesterday. This stimulating spring ad vance was refreshing to Louis, discharged last October after serving three years and nine months in the army. He ap peared eager to net started. Louis, who will be 32 years old on May 13, weighs 220 pounds, 13 above his fighting weight. He plans to melt off this excess by walking and jogging over the hilly countryside for an hour each morning, engage in other outdoor exercises in the afternoon and eat only two meals daily.
