IT1IE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGON THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER .31, 102,' SALEM HIGH SQUAD STRIKES PACE F LETTER WIEfJ F0RW1 1 E OF wm Hard Week's Drill Stresses Teamwork and Develops New Players in the; Franklin gvmnaslum. FrU day night, January 8, Salem will play Lincoln high school of -Portland on the Salem high gym floor. PREPARES FOR FRAY Rale?! high school men are get ting daily workouts - in prepara tion for the clash wjth the Frank lin high school hooper of Port land to take .place, on the local high school gym floor Saturday night. Team work has been stressed during ' the past week. Coach Huntington has somewhat of a problem on his hands in picking the first squad. For only. five places on the team, Salem has six lettermen back, as well as seve ral promising candidates. ' It is certain that Jack Drager, all-star center of 1925, will start in that position against the Quak ers. "Duffy is assured one of the forward berths. Either Nash, let terman, or H. Lyons will start as Duffy's running mate. Bob Dra per, letterman, and Ashby, letter man, will start at guard. Olinger, another letterman, may take his place.' - Olinger has been showing rapid Improvement., both in team work and In j hooting. He won his let ter last season at, guard, but can , he called on to jump in at forward when the occasion ; arises. It. is reported 'that the Drager! brothers"' hare- found thelr-tride, and bare made-distinct improve ment since the alumni ': game. Duffy has shown ye ell at forward, having ' proved ttid.star : snot in the alumni game.. ' Salem " fan , are looking to him to be one of Salem's greatest point makers for this season. Cummings, playing center for the-second team, in considered a good prospect fothe concentra tion berth. He will not he elig ible until the second semester, ' Lut when Ire Is. it is expected he will 'provide interesting compe tition for J. DraKr. Although tho game Saturday night will not afreet the standing either of Salem or of Franklin, keen rivalry is anticipated. Last year, in the pre-season clash ber tween the two schools, Franklin proved- victor by one point. Later in the state tournament Salem turned the tables by decisively de feating the. Quakers in the tourn ament game at Willamette uni versity that decided the state championship among high schools. Interest is especially keen in the contest this year as the -rivalry has a significance. It is reason- ably certain that Portland will be r allowed to participate in, the state tournament again this season. Franklin has a strong team, al though, she misses her last sea son's captain, Scallon. Franklin stanfls a good chance of represent ing Portland again in the state tournament. x Salem should be, if anything. Stronger this season than last. Should Salem represent this sec tion in the state tournament, and Franklin, Portland, it is likely the . two schools' will r clash again for the state championship. " Salem will Journey to Portland next Tuesday night to play a re turn game with the Franklin high hoopers Special Car of R6oters Ar , riye; Swift Workouts Put - Eleven in Shane PASADENA, Cat. tc. 30.

In the semi-final bout Jimmie Anderson of Astoria gained the decision over Charles Murphy of Salem. The bout, was fast and furious and Murphy's hard luck on fouls caused him to loose the decision.
