Morris Anderson, younger .brother
of Erland who made quite: a name
for himself as a Silver Fox. hoops
ter before - heading f.or Oregon
State, gave the Red and Blacks
a go of it all the, way. ; In. fact
during the-first quarter the Foxes
took the play away from the Viks
and held a lead until just before
the gong when Gordy McMorris
shoved a one-bander home from
the side to give Salem : the 7-6
lead. .
Coach Frank Brown's 1942
43 edition 1 showed I exceptional
speed and determination dur
ing their 'homo' opener, and it
was the hustling play ef Svar
verud, McMorris and Bill Ran
som which kept the game in
high gear most of the way.
Svarverud, only 5-feet 7-inches
tall, was also the backboard
star ' of the game, , coming up
with the ball numerous times
after both Salem and Silverton
shots were missed ' and fought
for by much bigger players.
Anderson sent Silverton into
an 8-7 lead as the second quarter
started, but Ransom made good
a gift shot to tie it up soon after
and for the last time. Svarverud's
driving lay-in then gave the Viks
the lead and they kept it from
there on out
McMorris cast off with one of
those long "hurry-up-lhe-gun's-going-to-sound"
shots near the
end of the first half and made it
good to give his mates' their five
point margin.
Silverton crept to a 19-22
count late in the last period
after Anderson had fouled out
Art Zahler and Bernard Ben
nett hooped the gap-closing
points, but just when it look
ed like Silverton might draw
up to another tie Svarverud
meshed a beauty from a corner
to keep the Viks out of trouble.
Bennett made a good foul shot
fust before the game's end.
The Viks were guilty of wild
shooting at times which accountts
for their poor .150 shooting' per
centage. Sixty attempts were
made and only nine were good.
Silverton had but 25 shots, made
good six and had a .240 average.
: Anderson was high for the
he might have made things- a
bit more troublesome for
Salem.
Brown's crew rests " now until
Monday when a workout is slat
ed, followed by a game against
Chemawa here Tuesday. An
other practice session next Wed
nesday, then the Viks are off un
til January 4, the day before they

Attendance Drop First
In 'War Effect9 Poll
By JUDSON BAILEY .
NEW YORK, Dec 23-JP-Of the widespread effects war
has produced on sports, the decline in attendance was the most
obvious a poll of the nation's
showed Wednesday.
Virtually everyone of the
tioned the blow to attendance -as
one of the major imprints the
year of war has left on competi
tive athletics but the experts
were at odds on how to interpret
this fact
In general they agreed that it
was not a lack of Interest in
sports which baa red need the
size of crowds for the most
events and forced the abandon
ment of some. Rather it was the
difficulty of travel and the en
rollment of a great multitude
of customary patrons in the
armed forces and In vital war
work... "
Several writers pointed out
mat the mfllions of men now in
the army and navy are the same
men who used to jam the ball
parks, the race tracks, the foot
ball stadia, and the basketball
arenas. Others who used to nave
leisure time in which to watch
these spectacles . now are tied to
their jobs for long hours. Because
these men can't get to games and
meets now, many of the women
and children who formerly accom
panied them also no longer turn
out ' ,
Yet the writers conclude,
these men. women and -children
still are interested in sports,
even in absentia, and the Amer- '
- lean soldiers and sailors station
ed in camps, at home-, and in .
bases throughout the, world
have expressed their continuing
: enthusiasm for all sports.
One trend noticed by. some "of
the observers was a switch from
spectators sports to participation
sports and mass athletics of one
kind or another, although golf
was noted as an exception be
cause of the difficulty in getting
to the courses and restrictions on
the manufacture, of equipment
ymphnis on physical conditioning
and increased attention for con
tact sports was evident 1 in this
connection. ;
Some writers sensed that the
' war bad placed sports in a now
perspective where " victory or
defeat in games was no longer
of paramount' importance. They
pointed to erratic performances
and anexpeesed results of Indi
viduals and teams : throughout "
the year. Another explanation
for these nvmerons upsets was
f the entry of many athletes into
the services. Tata affected the
calibre of the teams aaat par?"
tkularly their reserve strength.
Sports contribution of millions
of dollars "to the c nation's war
chest also was noted favorably.
- Most admitted that the outlook
is, confused and thai the increas
ing . pressure of . the . war might
have a disastrous effect with more
and more curtailment of sports.
