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

ointment to the fact his best

25 seconds.
