Of Charlie Schanz, once of

"Schanz shapes up as the most
promising of our new pitchers,
and most of 'em are new." And

off and on for three seasons, we
still say Chas. will show the ,

rated the Albina Hellships basketballers as "the best in the nation."

District 4 Win

CORVALUS Coach Earl Mc
Khney'g Corvallis Spartaru play
Lebanon's Warriors . here Friday
msnt In a southern district 4 bas
ketball game, and a victory over
the visitors will clinch for Cor
vallis the southern title. Corvallis
will be favored as it has defeated
Lebanon twice during the scs ten.
Should the Spartans win they
wHl qualify to meet the winner
of the, northern district 4 title for
the right to represent the district
in the state tournament at Salem.
So far in the north, Salem, Wood

OAKLAND, Calif. Feb.! lO-fP)
Spotting his opponent 54 pounds
and a foot and a half la height,
Al Ware, 218," Oakland, used Big
Ben Moroz, 272, Philadelphia,, as
a punching bag here tonight to
win a 10-round decision over his
giant foe. ,
- laden best starts tonight around
at the same;time and place. And
they'll exhibit for all interested
customers to. see the quint which
will no doubt be bedded and wat
ered down with the district 8 title
in the town when state tourney
time comes March 16-17-18. 1
To date the No. 1 Salem rivals
have' gone postward 1? times and
wound tip first 15. Only little Sea
side and Hood River toppled the
Coasters in upsets and Astoria
bounced back to revenge both
losses' decisively. : Latest victims
added to the Fisherman skein
were Tillamook, St. 1 Helens and
highly-rated Rainier high, In that
order. ;' :r - f
As for Salem,- it wont be a
battle of brilliant records. Still
guilty of hot-then-cold caging and
victimized oyer the campaign -by
ineligibility and sickness plagues,
the Viks have won nine times
while losing 11. And five of those
11 have been suffered their last
five times out. f
Even worse as far as the SHS
hoop-suiters are concerned is then
losing streak to the Fishermen.
Astoria has copped the duke the
past 10 consecutive times against
Salem. So the weekend series will
present two "musts" . for the Viks
busting losing skeins In - both
instances. J
The Purple visitors, under the
tutelage of 0ne Bill Bowers this
time since incomparable Wally
Palmberg isf durationized, won't
have any frightening all-staters
with 'em, such as Cliff Grandall
or Fred "Happy" Lee, but they
will have a quint molded by
Bowers which has proven again
this season ;that Astoria is still
Astoria, home of fine basketball
squads. .' 1 - i
Only Center Don Nopson -Is
back from last year's Astoria tour
ney team, but more than taking up
the slack left by the departure
of Crandall, Lee it Co, are cagers
Howard Lovvold, Roddy Kvistad,
Jim Parker ; and Leo Hill. These
four, along ;with Nopson, have
been Astoria's starting five and
will likely open against " Salem.
Messrs. Parker and Hill are the
two ace Fisherman point pitchers.
In the first two Salem-Astoria
games' this season, both won by
the Finns by j3-point margins, first
it was Hill who led the way
through the jYik bucket and then
it was Parker the next night. ,
