The state basketball tournament opening at Eugene tomorrow

The inaugural tourney was held in Eugene, on the University

the tourney is starting in spacious MacArthur I

the original eight are back again this year
Eugene, Astoria, Salem, Marshfield (now Coos

Lincoln won in 1919, defeating a Salem
team whose star was a youngster called Amory
T (Slats) Gill. Gill has become known over the
state for other things than his high school bas
ketball in the past 28 years.
Next year, after 1919, the tournament was

The second season the high school playoff was at Salem a fellow
named Howard Hobson sparked the Franklin high of Portland

represents the town of Molalla in Clackamas county. Last
time Molalla want to Tne t. tournament wi in 1921. and
21 years is a long time to wait for another good team.
How Would You Score This?
Here's something maybe you football fans hadn't ever thought
bSuppose one team has just made a touchdown, and is now
trying for the extra point. A pass play is called and the pigskin
tossed. A member of the defensive squad intercepts it, breaks
way and runs 100 yards for a touchdown.
Does he score one point, for a conversion, or six points for
a touchdown? ... . .
You're wrong both ways. The rule book says that since
time is out for the try for point the defending team can't
core on the play no matter what the circumstances. All the
100-yard broken field runner would get is exercise and his
same in the papers.

Sports Racket Being Outlawed
The Klamath Sons baseball team is dickering to buy the old
lights from the Portland Beavers' Vaughn street stadium. The
Beavers are revamping their field this year, putting in new lights
and such, so the arcs they have been playing under for the past
few years may light up Klamath's Recreation field this summer.
Up In Salem the state senate has approved and sent to the
house of representatives a bill to prohibit the giving or attempt
ing to give a bribe to any participant of a sporting event. Bribery
and gambling is the hottest news in the sports world today, and
the Oregon bill, which provides for a maximum of five years
in the stone hotel and a $5000 fine, most assuredly will pass.

UCLA Beaten
In Two Sets
CORVALLIS. Ore., March tO
(VP) The Oregon State college
Beavers were set today for the
western regional NCAA playoffs
after capturing the Pacific coast
conference basketball title de
cisively here Saturday night in
a second straight victory over
the UCLA Bruins. '
Oreson Slate flashed to a
quick 3-0 lead, lagged briefly in
the first halt while UCLA tied
at 11-all and then drove ahead
to oust- the southern division
PCC contenders for a 63 to 46
final that gave the Beavers their
second Pacific coast champion
ship in conference history.
Thcv won the opening game
of the'serics, 69 to 52, the night
previous.
coacn siatt lain s entry in
the March 21-22 Kansas City
tournament will be paired
with the winner between the
Missouri valley champion, St
Louis university, and the Uni
versity oi Oklahoma, the Big
Six conference titliit.
The Beavers were paced by
Lew Beck as they piled up a 16
point halftime lead of 34 to 18.
In the opening session UCLA
played a tight game and the
Oregon Staters were forced to
make long shots, with Beck and
Morrie Silver bucketing sensa
tional heaves. The only UCLA
scoring burst came after OSC
held a 5-0 edge in the first few
minutes. UCLA's Don Barks
dale and John Stanich unlim-
bered their shooting arms to
recoup and Buccola tied at 1 1-all.
That was the last the southern
division champions threatened.
As the second half opened,
Stanich tossed a field goal that
looked like the start of another
rally, but it faded quickly as
Silver and Cliff Crandall scored
to break away and the two teams
then exchanged scoring.
Oregon State built up a 19-
point lead before UCLA started
slashing away, with Stanich,
Rankin and Minor scoring, to cut
down the OSC lead to 12 points
at 54-42 with three minutes left
in the game. But it didn t last.
and Rocha heavily guarded all
night sank two field goals and
Crandall another bucket. UCLA's
big Don Barksdale and Hicks
added goals for the Bruins as the
game ended.
OSC s Lphriam Rocha. nor
thern division scoring leader,
held point honors for the two-1
game series with 32 total and his
teammates. Lew Beck and Cliff
Crandall, each had 30 points.
UCLA's Barksdale collected 28
for the series.
Early Indians Of
Northwest Were
Threat To Fishing
BERKELEY. Calif.. March 10
(JP) The fish-eating Indians of
the American northwest con
sumed so much salmon before
the coming of the white man
that there might not have been a
salmon industry now except for
the fact that the newcomers
were mainly meat eaters, says
Dr. Gordon Winant Hewes. Uni
versity of California anthropolo
gist.
The primitive Indians for cen
turies utilized a substantial part
of the salmon runs, until the fish
no longer was abundant, says
Dr. Hewes in a study on the
aboriginal use of fishery re
sources. The whites, coming in the late
18th and early 19th centuries,
caused a drastic decline in the
Indian peculation. Hewes said.
This resulted in a suspension of
large scale fishing for several
decades during which the sal
mon regained status as an abun
dant resource
This in turn accounted for
the phenomenal growth of com
mercial salmon fisheries after
the introduction of canning in
the 1860's, Hewes said.

Billy Looks
To Rough Go
Billy Weidner. who is prob
ably the best punishment-taker
on the northwest mat circuit,
and who also can dish it out by
the armloads, can expect to be
ou the receiving end of a lot o(
rough stuff this coming Thurs
day night when he meets Pete
Belcastro for the Pacific coast
junior heavyweight wrestling
crown.
The meeting is slated for five
rounds in the local armory. Bel
castro, the champ and senior
man of the muscle game around
these parts, has forsaken all the
intricate arts of grappling in
favor of rough-and-tumble. But
he can be, and often is, beaten
by someone who wants to play
the game rough, too.
Weidner's recent matches with
the Grey Mask and other worth
ies bear witness that he'll play
rough.
Billy's determination -to . see
the thing through is exemplified
by the fact that in this match
with Belcastro he is losing $500
of his own dough, plus shaking
for the short end of the purse.
The fellow who is champion
doesn't work for peanuts, no
matter how many sacks of Sam
my Gordon's goobers he gets
showered with in the ring.

of arranging the stale class A
basketball tourney in Seattle,
with "being under the influence
of the big city sports writers and
without consideration for the
numerous small daily newspa
pers in the state which are the
ones really supporting the prep
school athletic program."
The charge came us the result
of an announcement in Seattle
that the drawing for the tourna
ment opening this week was
being withheld until Saturday
night, when the large city Sun
day dailies will "scoop" the
smaller papers over the state.
Moore declared his protest will
be circulated to oilier papers
and that he - will ask for an
earlier type of draw in future
years so that teams will know
their opponents without waiting
for a last minute "secret" draw
announcement.
