According to reports, that makes the first time in 16 : years that an Albany high quint has whipped one representing Salem.

Chicken Feathers But back to this conclave on 1 the 24th. It's 1943 now and (be lieve It or not) spring Is Just around the corner.

Said that as much as he would have liked it, just didn't have the time to get over this way as his leave was rather short Most of the interested Viks, who were of the sneak -ever-' the-f enee-to-see-the-g a m e age ; when Williams was snapper , back for the 'Cats, asked where he had been. Bat being a navy man, Williams is said to have replied, "Well, I get a first-hand V.- lesson in watching natives crack eoeoannta."

The victorious: Bulldo? led all the way and were way ou front, 18-5, at halftime. In fact the 'Viks, appearing ragged and with only so-so drive, were held to a lone field goal by f Martin Svarverud in the entire first half. Meanwhile Bad Long, veteran forward, was having a field-day from the floor and p o u r e d through enough points to keep his mates well ahead. Long was high scorer for the contest with IS points, five of which were picked up via the free-toss rente. Albany jumped to a 7-2 lead at the first quarter and had it to 24 8 at the three-quarter mark. Sa lem netted 11 points to the Bull dogs' six in the final period, .but the first three quarters gave the winner too much advantage for the Vikings to overcome. Svarverud and Courtney Jones teamed to lead what there was of the Vik attack with six points each. The Vikings were extremely wild with field efforts, taking a total of 50 shots and making only seven good. Ten of 15 foul attempts were also muffed. It was the last p re-No-Name league game for the Red and Blacks who now await the Ore gon City Pioneer visit to Salem next Friday night. Albany's Bees made it a double dose for the evening by handing the Vik seconds a 15-10 setback in the preliminary.

Most of the swishing was blamed to Roger Wiley, foot t Inch Oregon center, who tallied IS points as the Oregon Web foots rambled into a halftime lead of 23-10 and coasted to the finish. Fred Quinn, Idaho center, tried desperately to match him but had to take second honors with 11 points. ' The game, ragged throughout, got away to a slow start with Oregon marking first on a free throw by Forward Warren Tay lor. Quinn gave Idaho the lead with two baskets, and that 4-1 advantage was the only one the Vandals held during the contest. Oregon's sone defense tied the Vandals tight and Wiley. set a pace that put the Web foots in front at 15-4 soon after the Mid way mark of the period and booted the advantage to 24-5 after IS minutes. A free toes and baskets by John Ryan and Cliff Benson doubled 'the Idaho count before the half ended. The visitors switched to a man- to-man defense as the second half 6pened but returned quickly to the zone when; Idaho began dom inating the play, although the Vandals could not generate a scor ing threat. Oregon merely and monotonously added to the margin for the rest of the route. The teams meet here again Wednesday night. Orecoa (43) Wren. T Fuhrman, F Seeborg, T Dick, Wiley. C Sutherland, C Kirsch.
