ITS TOO EARLY to try to name n all-state basketball team. Particularly when you're not lure whether the team on which your nominee is playing will get Into the Big Show in Eugene. But It makes for lively specula tion to glance over last season's all-star team and then, Just lor the lun of it, assume certain teams reach the iinal hoop playoffs. THERE WERE so many out standing boys last March thai 13 players were given all-state rating the first team and eight on the second team. Five of these 13 are still playing hiah school ball. Cage coaches our dened down with the blues may try to glance over inese live ana men dream sweet dreams about being able to field such a team. This mythical qutntet would have Bob Altenhofen, Central Catholic, and Max Anderson, Jefferson, at the forward posts. , Wade Halbrook, seven-foot Lin coin boy, would be at center. ' Guards would be dipsy-doodle Jerry Crimmins of McLaughlin high and Tom Crabtree of Marsh Held.. Incidentally. Crabtree Is lust a ' Junior. He stands a chance of be ing an sll-suter three years. That's If Marshfleld gets In the tournament and It's been a habit with the Pirates in the past. Los ing Coach Bill Borcher to the Uni versity of Oregon may make some difference, but that's open to debate. ' Jl'ST TO JOG your memory somewhat, here are the other eight, most of them now playing college ball. Two of them. Incidentally, are now working lor saeei u uonneu up Oregon Tech way. They're our own Tom Schubert ' of KUHS- and Wayne Holzfuss of Lebanon. Ron Robins of Marshfleld and Klamath's Bill Toole, first-teamers along with Altenhofen. Anderson and Halbrook. are at Oregon State. Reggie Halligan of Bend is at Oregon. Dean Parsons of Eugene enrolled at the University of Wash ington, Bill West at Washington State. ' I don't know where Jefferson s Bill Zapp is. ' but ausin i or speculation n Central Catholic. Jeff. Lincoln, Mac-Hi and Marshfleld qualify for the state tournament, it will be tough for a newcomer to break up this Altenhofen - Anderson - Hal- brook Crimmins - Crabtree com bine. SPORTSWMTEBS from Medford to Portland and back again have written Uielr opinions of the Grant- Grants Pass state championship football game that ended in a 14 14 tie. All have more or less fallen Into the same pattern, that of petition' lno th. OSAA fnthprn tn fin uunp. ming about this first downs bus ness to decide who wears the crown. IH Join the choir with my own personal suggestion. During the playoffs that Is, up to the championship game I'd give the nod to the team holding the most yardage inasmuch as this seems to me to be more decisive than, a flock of first downs that may have come between the 35 yard lines. But if the title game itself ended In a standoff, I'd call the two . tMmc fvwrhnmnlnna . What's wrong with having co champions? Too much Is at stake In the last showdown to declare the champion on any basis but the score. Sports Mirror By The Associated Presi - Today A Year Ago Lightweight boxer Al (Sonny) West died from brain injuries sustained the nrevi. ous night in his fight with Percy xasscii at si. mcnoias arena, Mew ' rtM Tr 4 . , . a .T, nn'j xcinucKy s un beaten Dasketball team defeated St. John's 70-50 in Madison Square Garden.

Twenty Years Ago Pepper Mar tin, St. Louis Cardinals' outfielder, was voted the outstanding athlete of 1931 In an Associated Press poll. Owls Host In Cage Twin Bill By RED IIl'RD Skeet O'Connell Is certain he'll put a team on the floor against Southern Oregon tonight and to morrow night on Oretech's mile high court but the cage headman isn t sure who will get the starung positions. After two losses to the Raiders at Ashland, followed by two far-from-easy wins over Shasta col lege of Redding, the OTI hoop men tor has been doing a lot of juggling but probably wont come up with the five certain answers until game time tonight, 8 o'clock. Art Kirkland's Jayvees are In the opposite position of the varsity., 'lhey whipped the SOC Junior var sity twice and will try to do it twice more in 8:30 preliminary games. NOT EASY But the chore won't be easy with the toss of Jerry Wyatt to the varsity club. The North Bend lad has "shown enough talent in pumping the net for the jayvees. O'Connell has moved him up to the varsity. O'Connell will probably end up with Deadeye Don Sutphln and Jim McGregor at the guard spots but from there the chore of naming the starters gets tough. Tom Schubert, ex-KUHS sharp shooter, worked at center against Shasta, teaming well with Sutphln in the scoring department. So Schu bert may be tonight's opening center and he may get a forward spot, along with either Jack Pink ley, Homer Duncan or Tom Hum phrey. CENTERS Wayne Holzfuss and John Koch are both strong center 'candidates too. Jim Paterson and Larry Ter lisner complete the 10-man squad. All will probably see action when the Owls gun for revenge victories over the Raiders. Bill McLean and Harle? Weaver are the likelv nominees as SOC's starting forwards. Both scored heavily against Oretech in the De cember 7 and 8 meetings. The center nod from Coach Ted Schopf will probably go to Leon Keefe. while Keith Johnson and Ken Klmura look like the boys to nail down the guard positions. WHAMMY The Raiders have always car ried a whammy against the Owls. But tonight and tomorow night may be the time the Owls break the jinx if O'Connell hits on the right combination. Oretech officials have announced the hill road will be in good shape. Although non-league, the meetings with the Raiders always carry keen rivalry. Kirkland named his Jayvee start ers yesterday. They are Lloyd Lew Is and Jim ilartln, forwards: Dick Planingam. ' center; Jack Brown and Len Genetin, guards. DON SUTPHIN is OretecrTs main scoring threat as the Owls open a two-game se ries tonight against South ern Oregon.

Maxim Likes New York CLEVELAND. Wi Joey Maxim says that if he defends his light heavyweight title against Harry Matthews he would rather fight in New York than, in San Francisco. He explained he didn t "like the thick ring mat called for by Cali fornia law. I depend a lot on fast footwork, you know, and that type of mat slows me up." He offered yesterday to meet the Seattle boxer February 28. Both New York and San Francisco were mentioned as possible sites. Al Weill, International boxing club matchmaker, wired the offer to Jack Hurley, Matthew's man ager. Hurley has not been seeing eye to eye with the IBC's policies, especially on television. Matthews beat Bob Murphy in New York. Maxim, who won the title by knocking out Freddie Mills in London in 1950, has defended it once by beating Murphy last August. Roosevelt Wins Volley Crown Roosevelt won the class B grade school volleyball championship yes- teraay Dut naa to come irom be hind to beat Riverside. 2-15, 15-1, 15-1. Riverside beat Pelican to reach the finals. Members of the Roosevelt cham pions, coached by Ralph Foster, are Jack Daley, Doug Van Bus kirk, Charles Carlson Thad Sprague, Jerry Premo and Benny Kirkland. I JERRY OVER EN, who played on last season's Pel ican state high school runner-up team, will no doubt see7 some action tonight as a member of the Southern Oregon College of Educa tion Red Raiders. The Raiders meet Oregon Tech tonight and tomorrow night on OTI's mile-high court, with the jayvee teams of both schools supplying the preliminary action at 6:30. Dale Carr, another ex-Pel, is also with the SOC team. Both Overen and Carr have been spreading their talent between the jayvee and varsity squads. Memphis Five Finds Victory UMATILLA, Ore., Wt The Mem phis State college basketball team finally hit the victory column last night, after four straight losses in the Pacific Northwest, defeating Eastern Oregon college 71-63. John Wallisa was high for Mem phis with 27 points. Coley Kolbaba of EOC had 22. Memphis led 41-29 at halftime. 3 He'll Really Appreciate ACCESSORIES... for his car!!
