ts 0 1 Weekend n Red face dept.: Teaching us to after this is a letter from one Bob - Budget, same telling us In a nice - - " ' i piece ater the recent Salem - Astoria hoop series, in reouxiat w a-u- cas words in the Budget where tin it was nine straight for As- toria over Salem, we claimed it was only seven really. After read ing Lucas' note, then checking our files again, we find we might just as well have stood out in the rain, we couldn't have gotten -i. Knvs Ijicas? "I notice in your column reference to my words i. "-. ninth consecutive win over Salem for Astoria in three years I must confess when I read it I though you most probably were right and I was wrong, because I relied on my rather bad mem- ' ' ory largely because this . sports writing business is an awful chore these days with three women and , a reconstructed printer on the staff (all doing good worx, un- .derstand.) but definitely not sports writer timber. So I have been the sports editor and am doing a very inadequate job. "But the record, I believe, won the first game of four in Salem January 30, 1942 by a score of 32-27. The following night Astoria two more wins in Astoria on the 36-29 respectively. (That was, the first state tournament game by-Corvallis.) But by my figuring, that made three in a row. , It's Not Nine, Mates It's 10! "Last season Astoria beat Salem four straight in regular season play and also once in the tournament. That by my figuring made it eight straight. Then the two wins here this . year makes it not NINE consecutive, but TEN!!! Funny part of it Is I doubted myself the 'nine-straight' angle, and re verted to seven-straight in my subsequent stories. But now I find we both erred, but on the conservative side. "Without going through more 'files' (gosh knows my hands are dusty enough now) I believe the 52-19 win scored by Salem over the Fisherman was in the 1940-41. season when Harold Hauk had that great team of "Dutch" Simmons, Eddie Salstrom, Bob Irish, Don Bowers and Bud Coons. They most probably, should have won the state title, but again, the Fishermen, after losing three out of four, sneaked in on 'em in that great overtime game that ended in some thing like a riot in front of a downtown Salem restaurant. Check your files again, Al. I might still be wrong. IH sports statistics fuddle me up like are equally distasteful. Sez Viks Better Than Fishermen : "At any rate the Viks, man for man, are probably better than Astoria! this year. But the Fishermen, without many . , seasoned men and with a new coach In Bill Bowers replacing the fabulous and legendary "Swede" Palmberg, want des perately to win and make up for what handicaps real , or imagined that now confront the Astoria tradition in the - game. That, largely, is why they beat . Salem. It may carry ( ' them through to a quite successful season. I "I'm surprised that some of these eagle-eyed sports bugs haven't picked us both off before now. Sincerely,1 Bob Lucas." j As already mentioned, check of our files proves Lucas right Salem HAS dropped her last 19 games to Astoria, a gruesome rut. Our apology, sir. Might add we fully realize your pre dicament with the three women we are surrounded by five, none of whom (between gabbing bees) knows for sure whether you kick or bat a baseball. The desperateness which is imbued in the Fishermen this sea son must be fierce' at that, for the Finns, have won seven of eight games (at this writing), one of which was a 33-25 job over their annual tourney hurdle, Tillamook. Not at all bad for a team which was reported at the beginning as having "absolutely nothing." - YouH recall last season when the Finns came to tourney on an 18-game winning streak and made it 19 against Salem first night before going down before Baker high next night. Seems we remember stories emanating from Astoria at the beginning of that season, something on the order of "we've got nothing, absolutely nothing." it - The day the Fishermen "have nothing" to put in their i basketball suits is the day little junior's gonna ask mommy for -. an extra shot of castor oil straight.

Court Salem high's basketballers, win ners of two straight games, travel to Eugene tonight to mix with the Axemen, and : if advance notices from the southern sector arent padded the SHS gang is due to be chased light off the floor. At least they won't win, and not by long ways. .-,:.'; v"':" Eugene scribes and couriers have been finding the usual ad jectives Insufficient In describ ing the potency of Coach Hank Kuchera's practically already; crowned state champs. And wins over such respected quints as Corvallis a n d Cottage Grove have tended to back up the Axemen spielers. Losses to Springfield and Marshfield were of course ; rank upsets, so they say. j But i when . the Axemen waded through Albany 75-25 last week the drums started beating again. And when a prep team tops an other in the same league 75-25 it has more than merely vocal sup port., ; . Therefore, Salem goes south tonight expecting to finish sec ond best. Were Guard Doug Gibson along' it might be just the opposite, but since he's In eligible until the end of the month and his loss has caused such a lapse of spirit and drive on the team. It's the underdog role for SHS. The fact that the . Yiks have appeared so punch less in recent outings Is another lean toward the super; Axemen. Coach Frank Brown. will prob ably stick by his usual starting lineup , of Captain Travis Cross and Loren Helmhout at forwards. Don Burlingham at center, and Don Chapman and Jeep Lowe at guards. ! v.".
