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
