Here Urged
1000 Tickets Must Be
Sold If Tournament
for Championship of
State Is Held

Does Salem want the biggest in.
terscholastic event of the season tc
be held in this city? Does Salem
wish to have the games for the
high school basketball champion
ship of Oregon played here?
If so, willamette students, Salem
high school students, and towns.
people in general must cooperate
with Coach Mathews, of Willamet
te, who is in charge of arrange
ments--and cooperttion means the
purchasing of 1000 tickets at 81
each. This, it is stated, will take
care of the financial end of the
tournament.
Admission Price Small.
A 81 ticket, it Sc pointed out,
will permit the h to see the
score or so of gam. - be played
at the admittedly reasonable ap-
proximate price OF five cents per
game. And the clashes, TO be
staged among the fastest quintete
of the entire state, will be well
worth witnessing, according to
CoCach Matheys. Salem high
schools five will be among those
to battle for state honors.
II expect no difficulty in dispos-
ing of the 1000 tickets" Mathews
said this afternoon. "At a price
considerably higher than the one
asked, it would be a bargain and
basketball fans will realize this"

dad" STETSON, REPTILE EXPERT
OF DISTRICT, CAPTURES CORAL
SNAKE ROAMING IN CHIRICAHUAS

d. T. Stetson, better known as
Dad" Stetson, has uncovered an
other rare specimen of reptilian
life While on d trip to some min.
ing claims. located in the north
ern end of the Chiracahua noun
tainS, he found coral snake.
On the same trip MS daughter
killed 10-rattle rattlesnake. To
prove his story, SeteSon brought
the coral snake back to Bisbee.
The coral snake is rare in these
parts 1t is common in tropical
America and is also represented
in Africa. 1t is called the coral
snake because coral red is its pre-
vailing color. The snake is one
of the most beautiful known. 1t
is branded, alternately with coral
red, black and white colors. Be
tween each band or coral is a
narrower strip of white or yell
low. Each strip of white sepa-
rates band of either black or
coral.
According to the International
Encyclopedia the snake is small
and of terrestrial habits. 1t is
provided with a poison apparatus
sufficient TOR the killing of small
