of the block, with records, averages, etc., for the interested
parties to look over.
Moore, i Salstrom and - Robbe
are considered too moch of a
"risk" by PCL bosses simply be
cause of their draft stains. The .
last we heard Moore's board was
hot en his heels. Salstrom " was
expecting the official envelope
any day and Robbe Just turned

Which leaves Petersen, Cail

according to advanced notices
from Eugene, Mullen has poten

The district six champs of last
year, who managed to place 10th
in the state title chase, turned out
six lettermen and two touted
transfers for Mullen this season,
and he's shuffled them into a com

straight games thus far.
Of the pack Ray Cain and Al
Wolf are the outstanding return
ersboth showed exceedingly
well in the last tournament and
Ernie Danner, an All-District 6
star transfer ? from University

setting the loss of high-scoring
Bob Hodgens.
Incidentally, Mullen has In
