Tough Tussle
Up for Vikings
Face Strong Pioneer
Five in League Game
Salem high's hoopsters return
to counting No-Name league play
tonight with their return game at
Oregon City against the Pioneers.
It was in the first game with Ore
gon City here that Coach-Frank
Brown's charges hit their stride
and all but ran the northerners
out of the Villa. .. ,
Since that lopsided win, how
ever, the Vikings have shown
aly flashes of saeh speed and
drive. So if. they are to make a
sweep of the Pioneer series and
rentals undefeated In the No
. Name's northern division they
are faced with again returning
- to their outrun 'em style of
play, as Coach Dan Jones' quint
hasn't been making a habit of
losing. The Pioneers have been
defeated only twice In IS starts
- this season and appear to have
' the strongest team in new state
. district four.' It Is equipped with
. veterans at every position.
i After dropping their two to As
toria over the weekend, the Viks
came back against Silverton Tues
day night to give the Silver Fox
es a decisive beating, but only
showed championship caliber
only in the late stages of that
game.
Brown's roster for the Oregon
City trip includes Forwards Mar
ty Svarverud, Bill Ransom and
Travis Cross, Centers Courtney
Jones, Allen Bellinger and Bruce
Hamilton and Guards. Gordy Mc
- Morris, Don Chapman, Eldon Far

basketball- scoring record last

gene sports department came
by the discovery by accident
Here s how: .
Seems that the 27 points Fred
Quinn meshed against. Oregon
State over at Moscow a few
days back prompted Hec Ed
mundson and George. Varnell to
looking up records, as they fig
ured that 27 was the highest
ever scored by a single player
in a single , game. And right
they were, as they couldn't find
where one player had v bested
that mark.
Hearing of this and remem
bering that Gale had tossed in
quite a few points- per game
year," the '-Register-Guard boys
just for the heck of it totaled
16 games of the '38 season. They
credited with 192 for the record
last year!
Admitting the possibility of . a
typographical error . in . . the box
scores bearing Gale's scoring
feats, the Eugene men are having
an official Investigation made.
:. Incidentally, Edmundson and
Varnell found that the previous
individual game scoring mark
was made by Boy Williamson
of Washington m 153 25
points against Washington State. -The
Keg-ister-Guard ' historians
knot that one up too, as they
claim Gale pitched In Z5 against
Montana-at Missoula and an
other IS against Washington
State in 1939.
So should the official recount
check with the Eugene facts and
figures, it'll be up to Quinn this
season if Idaho is to boast the
Northern division's top hoop man

Important Visit
Dave McRae, who would per
sonally see to it that the boxing
game gets back to town, and has
the VFW's blessings in his efforts
to crack such a nut, talked things
over with Matchmaker Joe Water
man in Portland yesterday. Re
sults of session hot known Thurs
day afternoon maybe McRae is
still talking.
Waterman admits having an
eye on Salem as a possible spot
to attach a tentacle of the thriv
ing National Boxing club, but
has been reluctant to move in
for fear he . couldn't- supply
enough talent to keep the ball
rolling profitably here. His bi
monthly cards in Portland have
been keeping him hopping, so
he jays, but he still wouldn't
mind taking a chance here if he
could find a good man to work
with. That's where McRae hopes '
to fit in.
McRae was downright positive
in claiming to commission mem
bers Les Jones and . Russell Mudd
that he knew the answer to the
ouggaDoo question, "Where are
the fighters coming from?
But one way or the other, we
should know before long just how
the situation stacks up. If McRae
can join his hidden reservoir with
what help Waterman could supply
and then sprinkle but heavily with
good ring campaigners from the
military camps hereabouts, there's
no question but .what the caul!
flower department of the armory
would open up for business again.
Just how good that business would
be depends entirely on the merch
andise it stocks for each card. '
