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

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.

" 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.

was further Impeded by a total
of 37 personal fouls and three
technicals last night before Wil
lamette emerged with a 51 to 41
rictory.
Car trouble by one of the autoa
transporting the Oilers caused the
delayed start, but it was some
plsln. fancy, shrill and loud
whistle-tooting thst barred its
progress after the game did open.
Four Oilers O'Donnell. Pat
terson, Merrymsn and Pflugrad,
and one Willamette, Sum Galla
her, was ejected from the, to say
the least, overwhistled game.
Behind, 24-20 at halftime, the
Bearcats put a large third-quarter
together to run out a 38-31 lead
at its duration, and stayed about
that margin to the fore as Coach .
Maple kept fresh men going into
the gsme.

amply assisted by Johnny Kolb,
who turned in one of the best per
formances in the tilt. Once in'
front. Maple used every one in
suit, totaling 12 players, to keep
the pressure on the Oilers.
Art Merryman. former Oregon
State star, staged a solo rally late
in the final period, to whittle the
count to 43-39 before Bob White,
