Sis fr " By RON GEMMELL uirse e Opeii - i - - - : . r There's just no end to the versions of what happened at a downtown Salem restaurant following the state basketball tournament finale here last Sat urday night,! and the farther away from Salem the wilder the stories.' J. . From Astoria coimes : the report that officers had to open up an alleyway through the crowd before, the As toria team could gain-entrance to the restaurant prom Klamath Falls: "The wave reached a crest toward the: final tourney stages and to many the ensuing brawl in which six stu dents were arrested was an ex pected conclusion" ... Six stu dents, mind you, when actually there was but one arrest and the only thing he is studying is war fare in one of Uncle Sam's mili tary camps, i - Whether the true story af what, happened ever comes to light or not, the fact remains that the tournament Itself was conducted oar an all-time high plane by the OSHAA, Willam ette university, Salem high and the teams participating ... What happened downtown af terward may' have been as much the fault of ; fans from anyone of a dozen or more towns that were represented here that night as of Salem fans. -. i O Must Scry Salem. If you want to haul down that $10, and the ticket to the open ing game which is to go with it, you must carry something about the city of Salem in your four word, slogan for the Salem Sena tor bus . This is the edict of Mrs. George E. Waters, president of the S a 1 e m Senator baseball club which is posting the prize money. In other words, the"' slogan should be about Salem rather than the Senators . . . Something like, "Salem, The Riot City," if you would, perhaps, carry out the theme as represented by some people as the result of the recent hooperee here . . . Or, maybe, "Peaceful, Sedate, Sleepy Salem," if you don't believe all you hear. .' The new Solon bus, in addi tion to a nice, new .slogan, is going to carry some pretty fair ball players, too, If Happy How ard Maple gets all the Ivory he has his peepers on at this date . . . Some of the ivory may be a trifle, ancient, lis true, but still capable of bashing the baseball oaf of class B parks. Third Overtime. Ifot only was Astoria's victory over the Viks in the 1941 tourna ment's titular game but the third defeat for the Salem preppers in the last four, tournaments, but it was also the third game lost in overtime play . . . In 1938 the Vik team dropped two straight "sud den death" overtime games, the first to McLoughlin of Milton Freewater, 25-23, and the second to Woodburn, 36-34 . , . The 1939 and 1940 Salem teams were state champions, so of course didn't lose any, while the 1941 team dropped the titular game to As toria in the overtime. ; In five seasons at Salem' high's basketball helm, Harold Hauks clubs have twice been state cham pions (1939 and 1940), once runner-up (1941), once in fourth place (1937) and once out of the money (1938) . . . Hauk's all-time record, including tournament play, reads 101 wins to 48 losses, for a .678 percentage. league, comes under the heading f excellent .when due consider ation Is given the fact his teams have played the toughest com petition available every rear ...

Jim Gleeson, long-hitting outfielder obtained in the "Myers' deal, Is the only addition to the lineup, and Monte Pearson and Bob Logan appear the major ad ditions to the pitching" staff.
