- f F- 5 -Vi:V -. parks By RON GEMMELL Mark down February 10 as a "muif date on your calendar that U already tilled. That's the night Astoria's new drlve-'em-off-the floor high school hoop team meets Salem's new drlve-'em-lnto-the-bleachera high school hoop team, and If It isn't one of those things you can't afford to forego we'll miss ear guess. Mike DeBer Molall, quite some shack: as a prep hoop team themselves, encountered Wall- Palmberifs mad-dxKhlnr . Flan last FrMay night at Astoria aad - came off second beet. S2-27. Mike. upon his return here, said: That As torls team 1 the fastest break ing outfit I've seen for a long time. . The Molalla mentor hasn't seen the Salem team slashing ap snd down the court and pulling the trigger from any old place the no tion strikes it, so couldn't com pare it with the fast break em ployed by the Flying Finns. But if the Astoria fast break is any swifter, any more concerted or any more relentless than that em ployed by the 1939-40 Salem high hoop edition, we most certainly do not wish to mis seeing it. It's wot only that they drive the court, both offensively and defensively, that makes the current Viking club so impres sive. It's also a sweet ball haadllnx crew, it Is terrifically aggressive both defensively and . offensively. t consists of Indi viduals who combine trickery, with their rofthlng tactics, and above all. it Is backed op by reserves who can take np the mad charge with almost equal effectlveae when the regulars weary a bit from the dizzy pace. OSHSAA-Portland Problem. There is stronger sentiment around the OSHSAA circuit (OSHSAA being a much short er way of saying Oregon State High School Athletic association) In favor of booting the Portland schools completely out of the as sociation if they do not comply with state association rules. Last year and last fall the Rose City prep - institutions were free to, eater such affairs a4he state track meet and the state wrestling tournament, and to schedule games with upstate -teams, providing they uaed players eligible under OSHSAA rules. It 1 now the contention of association members. Includ ing President Bill Bowerman of Medford and Secretary Vers Ciilmore of Salem, that the Portland schools took advant age of this permission only when It was to their private advantage to do so. The split between the Portland snd State association, which is due for an airing at the annual OSHSAA meeting in Portland next week, has been precipitated bv the adontlon of the ninth-term rule by the State association. Portland, under Eldon Jenne's directorship, has Installed an eligibility ruling that makes eligible for competition any youngster until his 19th birthday, regardless of terms attended. The State association eligibility rule denies the right to compete more than eight terms and sets the age limit t 20. " The State association maintains Its ninth-term rule gets rid of the "athletic bum- who comes bsek for an additional term Just to compete in athletics and who generally impairs the school's morale. The Portland association maintains its problem is to pro vide for the numerous ninth-termers who do come back, and that allowing them to participate in athletlca is one way of doing It. In other words, the Oregon State and Portland associations, exactly like the Seattle and Washington State associations, have vastly different problems to be met. and the solution infii to be for them to each ge tts own way. "Which vffl probably be the decision reached, so we've been advised next week.

Football "Overemphasis" Beef, Old As the Game, on Down-Grade Now, But Was Editorial Subject in '93 By WHITNEY MARTIN . NEW YORK, Dec. 20. (AP) There has been compar- atively little talk of football because the viewers-with-alarm have discovered, like the man who tried for nearly 50 years to turn around fast enough to see the back of his head, that all it gets them is a pain in the neck. O Hutson Ties All Pro Pass Records 5-Year Veteran of Green Bay Packers Snares 159 Pitches NEW YORK. Dee. 20. -(-Aft er only five years of professional football, Don Hutson of the cham pion Green Bay Packers either holds outright or shares every pass-receiving record in the books of the National Pro league. The past season . the former great Alabama end caught 34 passes for S4t yards and six touchdowns, breaking three more records and leading the league In that department for the third time In five years. His yardage total was a new mark for one season. He raised his lifetime record to 1S9 catches for IS 90 yards, passing the for mer records of 13S catches for 2755 yards set by John Blood in 14 seasons with Mil waukie. Green Bay and Pittsburgh. . Other leaders were Tic Spadac- elal, Cleveland quarterback, with 32 catches for 229 yards, and Hersehel Ramsey, Philadelphia who caught 31 for 359 yards. Ward Cuff of the New York Gi ants, who never kicked a field goal la college, led the league in this specialty for the second straight year. He booted 7 out of II attempted, while Ralph Kerch eval of Brooklyn scored on C of 13 tries. Clark Hlnkle of Green Bay compiled the worst record. cutting the bars only once In 10 attempts. Kercheval kicked the longest field goal, a 47-yarder. A total of 52 were kicked during the sea son, breaking the former record of 48. Hostak Signed .

I! - Billed: Star Weds J- 7 fjVrv:) tie" . -tt . -mm-- The two will live In Chicago. overemphasis of late, possibly Overemphasis agitation is near ly as old as the game itself, and the pendulum seems to be swing ing the other way now, particu larly at Chicago, where the game reached a new low In underem phasis because the boys wouldn't take dough for an answer. Anyway, the musty files of the old New York Tribune, dated 1893. show there is little new un der the football sun, at least so far as public reaction to the game is concerned, . A lengthy editorial of that year deplored a situation in which "for two months each year football seemed to be the transcending in terest of college students." Calling attention to the fact that the game seemed to be en grossing too much of the time and too much of the thoughts of the collegians, the writer, a a rem edy, proposed that eastern col leges abolish a practice of playing games in New York and hence forth hold all their contest In college towns. The undue Interest of the stu dents wasn't the only target of the alarmists of that day. They saw in the game a brutality which they apparently viewed as not la keeping; with the search for high er education. 'ine zaie team had taken a trouncing from Princeton in the Nov. 30 Thanksgiving day game in New York. The Yale team, it seems, went directly to the depot after the game without bothering to change their football suits, or even to cleanse the wounds of bat tle. A writer descrlbinr the scene at Grand Central station declared it was a "bloody sight, and that "any fathers who witnessed the scene woud think twice before ending their sons to collere." As an Indication, however, that the game might be cleaned uo without destroying It. it wss no ted with satisfaction that the op position to the use of the flying wedge promised an early modifi cation of that play. Apparently the overemphasis agitation ebbs and flows. It flowed like old man river early this year at Pittsburgh, where the game, nnder Jock Sutherland, seemed to be growing bigger than tne scnool. with the result that football emphasis was cut -down and Jock .Sutherland so ent np aDovt it he resigned. On the whole, however, the oub- Ue at larae seems to take the sport for what it ls- big- bus iness with the emphasis on win ning;, in fact, the trend la for mora aid to athletes than toward mak ing- it tougher for the boys who taae tne bumps. The bic ten and the big six con ference permitted training: tables this year, which la a virtual ad mission that they believe the boys who fill the stadiums deserve at lease a little consideration shore that accorded the student who Jnst sops up knowledge. The very idea, just going to college to learn. The system of athlete-aid . may be all wrong, but so long as the emphasis la on winning, and a school can find a place for the money which the public contrib ute in 22.20 12.30 and 14.40 chunk, it always will be with us, despite periodic attempts to take the dollar signs off the pigskin. Chicago did it. and look what happened. Or don't look now. It's too terrible. Little All-America Grid Player to Lead Bulldog SPOKANE.

PAGE SEVEN Tonight Salem Vikings oPpi ose Dallas Undefeated Prep Quintets Vie at 8; Marshfield " Coming Tomorrow . . Casaba clash number two of the week for Salem' supercharged high school basketball club is set for tonight, with Dallas' smooth, rangy quint providing the oppo sition. A preliminary Is billed at 0:45, with the varsity game going on at 8. . Both clubs are undefeated for the season. Salem holds wins over the Willamette Bearkittens and Silverton, while Dallas has twice defeated the Bearkittens and once shellacked Albany. Coach Harold Hank's local quint, which is well on its way to becoming one of the most color ful, most spectator-appealing teams ever developed here, fin ishes this week's three-game cam paign here tomorrow night with Marshfield high's team providing the oppositkm. The Marshfield quint is the de fending Coos county champion and runner-up to North Bend for the district title. It boasts four returning lettermen who last year helped the club to a record of 18 games won to but five lost. They include Guard Jack Caderett, For ward Dick Davis and Center Jack Liljeberg, all two-year lettermen and Guard Dick Ring, a one-year award winner. - It Is probable Coach Hauk will stick with the five youngsters who have started every game so far. this season, although several reserves are rated by him as al most On a par with first team members. All-State Scottie Se bern, the only returning member of last year's state championship team, and lanky Bob McKee work in the front court on this five. while Don Barnick and Jim He- nery, reserves of 1 a st season, handle the back court. In the pivot position is Russ Satter, who played most of last season with the Jayvees but who saw enough varsity action to. win a letter.
