The state intercollegiate basketball
tournament is scheduled to open in
Moscow Friday afternoon, when each
of the four entering teams will play
their first game for the state title.
Members of the Boise and Oakley
teams, representing the southern
part OF the state, arrived in Moscow
yesterday, ready for action and
anxious to try out the local hard
wood. The Occur dAlene team has
been expected in today, but up to a
hate hour this afternoon had not been
seen by members of the university
athletic department.
The members of the various visit
ing teams are being quartered in the
fraternity houses on the campus,
Oakley men staying at Phi Alpha
Psi, Beta Theta Pi, and The Elweta
houses, while the Boise men are be-
ing taken care of at Sigma Nu and
Kappa Sigma groups. The Occur
d'Alene team will be quartered at the
Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Phi Delta
Theta houses upon their arrival.
Coaches Meet at Noon
The coaches of the four teams will
meet tomorrow noon at the Moscow
hotel for luncheon, at which time
drawing for the opening games in
the afternoon will be held. The first
of the games will be called at two
O'Clock, and the second will follow
imm mediately after In the evening,
another two games will be played,
the losers of the two afternoon games
playing each other, and the winners
of the two earlier games doing like
wise.
1t is possible that Saturday
morning game will be necessary, in
which event drawing of lots will
be necessary Friday night. If this
procedure is not necessary, the semi
final contest will be staged Saturday
afternoon, with the finals between
the two leading teams on the pro-
gram for Saturday evening.
State Association in Charge
The tournament is being held un-
der the auspices of the Idaho State
Interscholastic Athletic Association
with r. L. Mathews Of the university
coaching staff taking active charge of
the details of the tournament.
The men of the teams now here
are all in excellent condition, the
southern teams making the long and
tiresome journey to Moscow early
enough to give the men an opportun
ity to become settled before entering
the tournament. MoscOw'S men are
all in excellent shape, and feel con-
fident that they will be able to give
a good account of themselves against
the star teams from the respective
parts of Idaho.
Weston Not Coming
Weston, present holders Of tn ecup.
were unable to enter the tournament |
due to illness of some of their men,
and Boise high school was chosen to
substitute for them, even though they
were beaten by the Oakley team in
the district tournament recently.
However, their showing has been
sufficient to place them well up in
the list of competing schools.
The fact that two out of the four
teams competing in the tournament
here the next two days are coached
by former University of Idaho stu
dents, is quite noticeable.
The Boise team is under the tutor
ship of James Keane, former Moscow
man and star university football,
baseball and basketball player. Linus
Sanberg is the Oakley coach. Sanberg
graduated from the university last
year, accepting a teaching and coach
ing position in the Oakley high
school this fall
Tickets for the games are being
sold at Jerry's, season tickets for all
he games at s125. Single admissions
