SALEM RETAINS SLIGHT MARGIN 14-13 Win Oyer The Dalles Mostly Nicholson Job; Placekick Decides Hodgen's Boys Brilliant Pass Attack; Scoring MI Spectacular in By PAUL, HAUSER By the narrow margin of Jim my Nicholson's successful place kicks Salem high's football team last night kept its undefeated re cord clean beating, 14 to 13, a team from The Dalles that passed and Tan Salem all over the field. Two long scoring dashes by Jimmy Nicholson, wbo scored all of Salem's points, were the only bright spots in the game for Sa lem which was unable to stop the brilliant pass offensive of The Dalles. From the moment It took the ball on the initial kick-off the team from the Columbia valley flashed one of the best aerial at tacks ever shown here by a high school team. Using mostly flat zone passes for short gains The Dalles was able to gain yardage at will against a weak Salem de fense. A large percentage of the passes were complete, few were knocked down and only . one in terception made by Salem. How ever, an unlucky fumble and a 15 yard penalty ended two of their scoring marches that would prob ably have given them the vic tory. Line Looks Weak Except in One Drive The Salem line functioned weakly with Us sole bright spot being in the work of Coons who again and again broke through to nab The Dalles ball-carrier. At tbe beginning of the second half when It gave Nicholson perfect in terference in the three plays in which he carried the ball from his own 3 6-yard, line for a jeuch down, the forward wall Snowed signs of snapping back to . the form It displayed in early season games, but relapsed again as The Dalles started another passing drive. Salem was powerless against the shower of passes heav ed by Mosier, The Dalles quarter back, into the arms of Dick or LaForgle. The Dalles' line was able to bold the red and black fairly well throughout the game. In the fourth quarter Salem was held for four downs on the- The Dalles two-yard line. Salem was also held for downs In the second period after Nichol son had intercepted Mosler's pass en The Dalles' 29-yard line and pushed it through toThe Dalles' 10-yard stripe. Touchdown Scored In First Two Minutes From the opening minutes of the ball game it looked as if The Dalles team was going to town. Taking the ball on the initial kick-oft The Dalles marched down the field from their own 30-yard line on the wings of Mosier's passes to score a touchdown in the first two minutes. A pass (Turn to Page 2,.CoL 1) W RECEIVED AT The annual Red Cross roll call for Marlon county has to date re ceived 11420, largely from Salem contributions, according to reports yesterday from campaign head quarters.
