Inability to shoot free throws has reached the status of a men tal hazard with the Salem high hoopers; but a basket throwing expert tells us the trouble is they let go of the ball with the palms of their ' hands instead of their fingers. Here's hoping it's a helpful tip. As time goes 011 our mall is increasing and f are enabled every now and then to "see ourselves as others see ns." The following from the pen of B. L. Carrey, local fight fan: "In the Morning Statesman of Jan. 30 you see to have taken a very independent and evidently somewhat 'local boys be damned' view of the recent fight card that was put on by the local match maker, Harry Plant. "To an outsider you would cre ate the Impression that the card as a whole was a genuine flop. 'It was the best card that we hare had here for some time and only goes to show that we do not have to go to Portland or Eastern Oregon for boys that will put on a good show. "The first bout between Kid Summers and William Dodge you titled "uninspiring." Just what you meant by that nobody seems to know. The boys mixed things from sun to finish and although the decision might have been dif ferent, it was a good show never theless. ' The next bout you passed ov er quickly. They were both out of town boys, and probably you did not want to hurt thljr feel ings. "The next bout between Salem Kid .Ambrose and Bernard Kuhn you titled "slow, slow with much stalling and posing.' Although it was not as fast as it might hava been it was good. The boys stood toe to toe five times and slugged it out. It was a grudge fight and neither was taking a chance, Kuhn evidently had orders to stay away from Ambrose and he did It rery nicely. "It Is Just such a write up as yon gave these boys that will kill the fight game in Salem. "The next bout speaks for It self. Jtfst saw Jackie Woods and Jackie Kileen and the story Is toid. "The main event was a good fight and far better than you give it credit for. . "Every boy on the card put np STRIKES and SPARES The Man's Shon and Mckav Chevrolet bowling teams will go so Portland today to roll In the one day tournament staged there, with teams from all over - the northwest entered.

"It seems to be your policy to run the local boys into the ground, and kill the fight game if possible. "As sports editor of your pa per, you owe It to yourself, to the paper, and the local boys to giro them a good writeup. "Your story was unaccountable and uncalled for. " 'Pull for the local boys or pull out.' " Now, probably there's noth ing surprising about that to the rest of you fans. Probably yon have been thinking the same things and just didn't take the trouble to write up aboutthem. But we'll admit it surprises ns considers hi r. Wn thnnvht nnr principal weakness was partiality to the local boys, and the next was paniamy to the fight cards Harry Plant puts on. Here we'vebeen" covering the fights in Salem for three years, and all the time we're been do ing our best to kill the gameand didn't know it. Sure Is a tough game, to withstand, all oar .vicious attacks and -all U kee-j going. And we're surprised, too. that Harry hasn't boycotted us. refused to tell us what his next .card was go ing to be quit advertising in The Statesman and told the door man not to let us Into the armory. And how comes Mr. Garvey, this crack about us sparing the feelings of the out of town boys; Didn't we say the Haley Bechtel affair was "featured by more posing for the talkies and several near-dives on Reen ters part;" If that's saring their feelings, heaven help 'em when we start to get sarcastic. .But we don't agree with yon, Mr. Garvey, that it's up to us to pull for. the local boys.. Our job is to tell The Statesman's readers what happened, good or bad. If the truth is going to hurt the fight game, then It deserves to be hurt- After all, what we, say jeri't going to make nearly as much difference as what the fans who see the fights think. They'll not take our judgment in prefer ence to their own. We don't ask them to.

(AP) With the snow scarcely melted from Bell Field, Coach Paul J. Schlssler of Oregon State college today started spring foot ball training under cover of the college campus armory. Between 75 aqd 80 men report ed for practice and put In a busy afternoon on fundamentals under the direction of Schissler and his two assistants, Lon Steiner and Jim Dixon. To guard against the possibility of monotony, however, Schissler warned his men against consider ing practice a business instead of a sport. He emphasized his Idea by rounding out the afternoon with actual fight scrimmage. Practically all this year's varsi ty men not graduating were out besides a horde of rooks who hope to break into the limelight next year. Nine regulars are lost to the sanad from last year, four from the line and five from the back- field. These are Striff, end; Stout, tackle; Scott, tackle; Geddes, cen ter; Owen and Metten, halves; Gilmore and Essman, full, and Montgomery, quarter. Though a number of these were of all coast caliber, Schissler evidently be lieves he has strong replacements, for he has expressed the belief that next year's team will be stronger .than last.
