Medford Hits
Eugene Snag;
Loses 33-32
SALEM, March 10 (P) Tho speedy Washington Colonials of
Portland will bo cunning for repeat on the state basketball
crown tonight as they tanglo with the plucky, persistent Eugene
Axemen,
ans "nr'0,tcd themselves hoarse as the two teams roared
from behind to victories seconds ahead of last night's semi-final
gun. Eugene, tagging until the final 60 seconds, literally slipped
one over on the Medford Tornado and stopped the big breeze,
33-32. Washington met tough opposition In Central Catholic, a
fellow city quintet, but managed to rescue Us reputation in the
last minute, 20 seconds, 30-36.
Washington's Bob Lavey, hotshot guard and the only 1948
all-stater In the tourney, sank a long field goal and a neat gift
toss to win tho gume. His team.
matos had been on the short end
of the score for about two and a
half quarters.
The first quarter was hectic
and the lead kept changing
hands with every basket until
halfway through the second per
iod. The Colonials held a 12-11
first-quarter margin, but In the
second canto the Rams poured
It on and raced to a 7-polnt lead.
Central stayed ahead until La
vcy's winning bucket, leading
31-29 at the three-way point.
The tall central clan used its
height to excellent advantage to
monopolize the backboard.
In the EuKcne-Medford fracas.
the Tornado held a 32-20 advant
age with only two and a half
minutes remaining. Ty Lovelace
tied the count shortly afterward
with a field goal and a free
throw. Gene Miner's gift toss,
with less than a minute left, won
the game.
The first quarter saw Medford
take a quick 8-1 lead, allowing
the Axemen only two more free
throws before the quarter ended.
Eugene began clicking and was
only two pointe behind, 14-12, at
tho half. Tho Tornado blew to a
20-14 advantage during the third
period but the stanza ended with
Eugene only one point behind,
26-25..

Tag Team Tussle
At the armory Thursday night
announcer Jack Franey hinted
quite publicly over the public
address system mat MacK j-iii-lard
is trying to arrange another
oi i n e sense- e v
matches for
next week's
clutch session.
The thing isn't
definite yet,
but In all prob
ability a tag
match will
have been ar
ranged by Monday.
Mack LUlard
has contacted
several rasslers
about the oron-
osition and today Angclo Mar-
tlnelll and Martino Aneelo have
said that they'd be delighted.
one thing sure, tnougn, nea
Dawson, one of the innovators
of the tag tussle here, won't be
among those present, If grape
vine reports from up north are
reliable.
Dawson, we hear, is now con
fined to a Portland hospital with
a brain concussion suffered in a
recent match up there. The burly,
bald-headed Michigan lumber
jack used his skull as a rassling
weapon once too often.
He is reported to be in a very
critical condition and there is
little chance that he will ever
take the mat again.
Injuries are a hazard of the
occupation, but we're extremely
sorry 10 near oi uawson s
trouble.. He's one of the most
colorful boys ever to appear here.
SDeaking of injuries, paavo
Katonen underrated the knee
wrench that kept him from
taking his spot in- the main go
Thursday night. He's had trouble
with his knee cartilage before
and expected the limb would be
ready for use Thursday, but is
now under doctor's orders to stay
out for a while.
Watch These Boys
Mills school currently has the
most promising group of young
athletes in town and one of the
objectives of the city's planned
athletic campaign is to see that
just such youngsters as these
some day reach Pelican varsity
teams.
Mills won the grade school
basketball championship just as
handily as almost the same kids
won the grade school football
title last fall.
Prominent on Coach Howard
Hicks' starting quintet were Gay
nor Huck and Jerry Liable,
guard and center, who - were
strictly excellent in the backf ield
of the Mills touch football squad.
Also starting on the basketball
team were Alfredo Herrera and
Ronnie Dimmick, starters on the
gridiron.
The other lad of the cage
squad first string, Bob Hafar,
who was high scorer in all of
Mills' contests in. the tourney,
we don't recall as a member of
the football eleven, but he might
have been.
Mikan Signs
$60,000 Pro
Cage Papers
CHICAGO, March II (P)
When Oeorga Mikan was a
lean, gangling kid in Jollat,
111., high school he was too
awkward to be of much ui to
his basketball learn.
Today the bespectacled, six
foot, nine inch DePaul uni
versity law student became
the highest paid player in pro
fessional basketball hiilory,
after he signed a contract for
$60,000 to play five years for
the Chicago American Bears
of the National Basketball
league.
That figures out at 1353 a
game, on the basis of $12,000
a year and a 34-game sched
ule, such as the league played
the past season not bad for a
22-year-old youth- . who will
continue his law studies while
the checks are coming In.
Break Puts
Boxer Into
Big Time
NEW YORK, March 16 (JF
Danny Kanllow. a clever Brook'
lyn welterweight who was able
to follow up a "break," is on
boxing's "big time". today.
Called on short notice last
Tuesday to help fill in an open
date in Madison Square Garden,
the stocky, willing battler gave
Willie Joyce a terrific struggle
in the 10-round main go in the
big arena last night and earned
a d r a w with the highly-rated
Gary, Ind., lightweight.
It was Kapilow's first featured
bout in the garden and off his
performance against Joyce he
probably will see plenty of ac
tion again as a headliner in the
ranking swat salon.
Tami Mauriello of the Bronx
and Joe Banksi of Kulpmont,
Pa., had been matched for the
show but last week the former
Pennsylvania miner bowed out
because of a chipped elbow.
Mauriello - refused to meet Jer
sey Joe Walcott as a substitute
and Promoter Mike Jacobs
asked Kapilow to take on Joyce,
Check Planned
On Salmon Taken
In Willamette
PORTLAND, March 16 (jP)
The state game and fish commis
sions announced today plans for
a survey to determine the num
ber of salmon caught by sports
men in the Willamette river this
spring.
A check will be made at moor
ages and among boats In the
river, with Chris Jense, game
commission biologist, and Don
McKernan, fish commission bi
ologist, in charge.
The question of the extent of
sports catches came up after the
fish commission requested a par
tial closure of the Willamette to
allow more fish salmon to escape
upstream.
The eame commission also an
nounced that smelt 'licenses
would not be issued until the
Sandy run starts. The run comes
in March or April, but some
years fails to materialize.

One April Day
. Which day counts most with
you? Is it the day of your birth
or is it the day of your wed
ding? Or is it that April Day
in the long ago when Christ
died for your 1 sins? Believe
God's Word that Christ died for
your sins and
ONE God writes your name
in the Book of Life. By that
you escape the Lake of Fire,
for Whosoever was not found
written in the Book of Life
was cast Into the Lake of Fire.
Escape the pains of hell. Escape
the Second Death. ,
TWO Receive Christ as hav
ing died for your sins and God
touches your soul into life. He
imparts his own God-life to you
as He did to those of Bible
times "And so Gdd has given
life to you also who were once
dead In trespasses and sins in
which you passed your lives af
ter the way of this world, after
the sway of the Prince of the
Powers of the . air, the spirit
who is now working among the
sons of disobedience." Eph. 2:
1-2 Bible.
Face about. See God waiting
to breathe his God-life into your
soul. Now is the day of salva
tion. Make it your birthday into
eternal life.
