"Hitting pedestrians Is a messy habit when Christmas brotherhood is in the air," ad vises Mrs. Sippy. Do your Christmas stopping early, in other words. We are Informed that the dif ficulty which set Columbia U. back a year in getting recognition by the Northwest conference, was simply its failure to send out elig ibility lists before each game. Sounds technical, but that's where a lot of trouble starts. Willamette has quite a batch of home basketball games scheduled. Oregon State will be here January 4, Linfield the 25th, Pacific February 7, Col lege of Paget Sound Febru ary 14 and 15, College of Idaho February 20 and 21. There will be some other games, not yet signed up. But from present appearances, this isn't the year for Willamette to knock over any coast confer ence teams, even if it should prove able. The games with Ore gon State are too early, and Ore gon hasn't condescended to play the Bearcats. It handed Willam ette the same line it got from the California schools about football games "no open dates." Before we forget it, let's pick Stanford to beat the Army' to day. "McEwan's success during his four years at Oregon was declared by council members to have been little short of phenomenan," says a story from Eugene.

But it took a last quarter rally on the part of the alumni tossers to win the game. The Salem fire held the lead at tHe end of the half 20 to 12 and also at the close of the third canto when the score stood 26 to 23 for the preppera, Huntington injected three of his substitutes in the last frame and these players were unable to cope with the experienced array of alumni stars. Good Prospects for Strong Team Seen Salem's prospects for a winner this season look unusually good if the performance of the team last night is a criterion of their play li coming league games. The com bination of Kitchen and Pettit at forwards; Graber at center;, and Sanford and 'Satchler at guards seemed, to be the best early-season five that the high school has placed upon the floor for several seasons past. While the team has yet to learn plenty, it has potential strength in these five players. Huntington's work will be to develop reserve strength as there seems to be a dearth of material available this year. Ray Graber at center played a fine game Friday and should be outstanding if he keeps up the work. He outjumped both John Drager and Homer Lyons, former Salem star pivot men, and was following in on every shot. Graber was also evident in offensive play and time and again broke down the eenter of the floor to pass or shoot for the net. He was in the open on several occasions but did not prefer to shoot, passing the ball to his forwards instead. A few games experience and he should be a high scorer. Prepper's Defense Caught off Guard The Salem defense showed strength at times but the guards, especially Bob Kelly, pulled out of position to play the floor a bit too much and when the ball was lost to the alumni they failed to form a defense 'soon enough to stop a score. Kelly tallied some nice long shots in the first half but did not connect during the second half. Little can be said of the alum ni play. The players, all former high school stars, played a nice passing game. Adams seemed to get into the open regularly and he was fed by the other players. The game was unusually clean for a game of this character and no player was ejected from the eon test because of too many personal fouls.

The baseball schedule will be worked out separately by officials of the east and west divisions of the conferences, but the playoff between char pions of the two di visions will oe May 26, 27 and 28, and is to be held this year on the west side, probably in the city where the west side champion col lege is located.

Aside from a reading of the resolution passed by the Inde pendent Colleges of Oregon, noth ing was done at this meeting rela tive to the proposed elimination of freshmen from Intercollegiate competition.

Morgan ap peared well on the way to an easy victory after having Bass in dis tress in the first round from rights to the chin. A wild right floored Morgan for nine and another finished him in 61 seconds of the second round. Morgan weighed 128: Bass 127.
