Viks WMp. Maroons,
Tie League y Division,:
An Astoria-Salem basketball series ended and not even so much
as a youn riot on the town's streets. Times HAVE certainly changed
. . . From our angle the Friday-Saturday sessions were the most
friendly between the two schools in years in fact during one game
we actually saw a Salem player shaking hands with an Astorian, And
all proving - that you ' don't have '
to use a gun or an axe to whip
your No. 1 rival . . . About the
only thing we did see which re
minded of the once ferocious em
ulation between the Finns and the
Viks were the -remains of what
were once probably palatable
morsels In a fish ' marke show
case - believe they wereA over
ripe smelt 7 strewn promiscuous
ly around the front gateway to the
Vik arena., Just wouldn't be a
Salem-Astoria get - together if
there weren't a few quite dead
fish around some place. Seems
Salem kids feel they just gotta
make the Coasters feel at home.
Wouldn't bet to much on the
Fishermen getting here for the
tourney, either. Al Pietela, lieu
tenant in the Astoria school sys-
tern who was coaching the Finns while here due to the absence of
regular man Bill Bowers, and the same Al Pietela who matriculated
at Willamette in the late '30 looks upon both St Helens and Rainier
highs as no little toughies to take for the Astorians. Although the Finns
have nosed out both St Helens and Rainier this season, district 5
playoff games are upcoming with both and Pietela dreads to think
of what might easily happen. j
"Between the two, reports Al, "St. Helens seems to have the bet
ter club. Big and fast and look just as good as they did a year ago.
(St. Helens finished fourth in the tournament last year.) They've a kid
named. Alan Kinney who's just 'as good as any prep player I've seen
this year. (Kinney came very near making the 1943 all-state team.)
Rainier has a fine team, too. We
both this season." " ; . (
Checking back we find St Helens lost to Baker 54-38 last year,
then walloped Saem 44-27 and Eugene 35-24 to finish up in fourth
- place. ; ; y j j . ; . j :
Palmberg Back to Hoop-Suiting
Although it just wouldn't be a state basketball tourney without
Astoria, Pietela claims the scarcity of Fishermen reserves as another
reason why the Coasters may sit this one out. Youll notice in the two
box scores of the recent series Astoria used only one substitute, and he
for only two minutes. "We just haven't got 'em," says he. Understandable-
since only 300 students, counting both boys and girls, are now
enrolled at Astoria. " I
A few who"s and Mwhere"s also picked up through the Astoria
visit: Ensign Wally Palmberg, who the Coasters believe is the best
danged basketball coach who ever died a thousand deaths a season,
Is now at Corpus Christ! and playing for the station's crack team.
And Johnny Mandic, Oregon State's All-American center is playing
at the Texas .base also, both he and Palmberg being in physical edu
cation departments of the various service branches.
Lt. Korville May, the durationized Astoria football coach has
been transferred from the navy's physical education ranks and is now
connected with amphibious landings in the south Pacific, and an up-and-coming
prof ession these days. Three more former Astorians,
Wally Johansen, Bobby Anel and Bob Bergstrom have eluded the re
cent searching bf hometown friendsT'although ft is. known that Jo
hansen has been transferred from the navy's overloaded athletic pro
gram, Anet is still in it and Bergstrom, the former Senator outfield
er is no longer at St. Mary's preflight "'

Tourney Field Evenly Matched
No room for "pushover" accusations this year in the tournament
bracketing set-up, released by the OHSAA Saturday. Distrist 6 (Port
land public schools) playing district 1 j (Med ford, Baker or La-
Grande) and district 2 (Klamath
Pass, Roeeburg) playing district 5 (Astoria, Rainier, St Helens) in the
upper bracket first round; and district 3 :( Eugene, Springfield, Marsh
field, North Bend) playing district 4 (Salem, Corvallis, Dallas, Wood
burn, ML Angel) and district 7 (Oregon City, Forest Grove, Hills
boro, MeMinnville) playing district 8 (Bend, Hood River, The
Dalles, Prineville, Burns) . in the lower bracket first round.
We've named the leading teams to date in all districts. And at this
writing it looks to us like the hoop-suiters will line up against each
other as follows on tourney take-off day, March 16:
Upper bracket: Washington of
(No. I) and Klamath rails or Ashland (No. Z) vs. Astoria or St.
Helens (No. 5), K -Falls providing
ice Pelicans, Wilbur Welch and Jim Conroy from going serviceward
before meeting. time.- ' y ; y -
Lower bracket: Eugene of Springfield (No. .3) vs. Salem (No. 4),
providing Eugene doesn't get "upset" again by Springfield and Salem
can keep on playing ball as it did against Astoria over the weekend.
The Viks can make it if they keep up with the glitter stuff. Oregon
City (No. 7) vs. Hood River (No. 8) in the other game.
All wild guesses for the most

Showfng both the kind of caging
which brought them their two vic
tories oyer Astoria last week and
the gruesome kind which had the
city's hoop citizens looking on 'em
with disgust awhile back, Salem
high's hoop-suiters touched off
enough of the former to offset the
latter and whipped Milwaukie's
Maroons 38-27 last night at the
Villa. JThe win, Salem's third
straight, gained her Viks at least
a tie for the Northern division.
No - amc league title. Should
Oregonf City beat the impotent
Maroons again the race will wind
up in a deadlock between Salem
and the Pioneers. y ,
Last f night's first -half brought
about a maze of poor pitching,
sloppyf ball handling and slew
footedhess, both sides answering
"guilty", and ir looked much liko
the glitter which was Salem's
against Astosia had left the Viks
flat They managed to squeeze five
points fout for the quarter , while
the ineffective visitors were get-f
ting but two. A clever tip-off play,
Captain Travis Cross on the pay4
off end, netted two of Salem's five.'
Not much better the second per
iod atboth sides kept trying but
missing. Salem was getting good
shots from in close but couldn't
buy a two-pointer. Milwaukie wa j
having trouble with the Vik zone
defense and left the floor at half 4
time 8-11 behind. ;
But - the spark came back foi
Coach X Frank Brown's club with
a hit by Doug Gibson from a cor
ner early in the j third period. Bei
fore he Maroons could collect
themselves Bobby Zeller and Don
Burlihgham took turns sneaking
behind the seiye-like Milwaukie
defense to collect easy lay-ins and
the Viks were on their way. So
much so that they canned IS points
for the period to Milwaukie's sev
en, making it 26-15 at the third
rest stop. ; j
Zeller, Gibson and Allan Bellin
ger kept it up to start -off the
fourth, frame, and then with Sat
lem enjoying its longest lead of
the game, 31-17, the Maroons
started hitting with those long
casts to make a ball game of it
from .there on In.
As was the cgse in the Astoria
series! there were no individual
scoring stars on the Vik side,
eight of the 10 players Brown used
taking part in the point bookkeep
ing. Gibson, back in shape again
after a siege of the flu, led the at
tack with eight points, followed
by Burlingham and Captain Travis
Cross ; with and ) seven and Zeller
with 'five. Actual honors were
glommed by Jack Cooper of the
visitors with his 10 markers, all
gained via the heave-ho from far
out method. j
Excepting for! the comeback in
the second half when they made
most of their shot count, wild Vik
shots fin the opening half pulled
their shooting percentage down to
a final .259. Considerably below
the average compiled both nights
against the Fishermen.
The tussle wound up the regu
lar home season for the Viks al
though they play Dallas at Wil
lamette on the 24th in a district s
game Friday night , they trek to
Albany to chase with the Bulldogs
and next Tuesday to Tillamook.3

The no. 9 team of Lawrence Al

ning ways oyer the weekend In
the: Salem Golf Men's club's
"Sticker" tournament by dishing
out a 12-up defeat to the no. 10

hair of clinching the 12-week
meet title. Only, one more round
remains on the schedule and the

points over the weekend by vir
tue of their automatic win over

Although there is a mathema-
tic chance of the no. 1 team catch
ing the leaders in the final round
it is exceedingly remote. Partic
ularly so since the Alley-Estey
