Vikings Best Lava Bear 5 35-27, In 'Show 'Em' Game Clash Goses Home Season; One Game Left .. W IKK 1 Jlllllliailll lilll Throughout Kine's-X : Salem high's courtsters made good their claim that "we're not as bad as they think we are," by leading all the way to down a gangling but wild-shooting Bend Lava Bear quintet, ; 35-27, last night at the Villa.-The king's- af- fari, truly anti-climax in many spots to a rollicking but ruined campaign, brought to an, end the Viks home season. .One - more Coach Frank Brown's gang is I through for keeps, that next Tues day nignt at MCAiinnvuie against the also tournament aeiiatea Grizzlies. ; "" - '"' ": The Viks started, off last night like the real club they were cap able of being over the season, and on rather easy pitches over the beanpole-like visitors by Don Burlingham and Doug Gibson rang up a 9-0 lead before the rapid-firing Bears could count on a free throw by elephant-like How ard Smead.;.. ;-' ' ' Bob James and Harold Smith then connected from far out for Bend as Salem coasted, but Bobby Zeller made ; good with two free throws and Gibson with a' how itzer to help the Brownies to a 13 7 quarter lead. , An entirely new Vik team play ed most of the second quarter and practically held its own with the still wild Bears. .. This Vik five, made up of Allan Bellinger and Loren Helmhout, forwards; Tom Boardman, center, and Eugene Lowe and Bunny Mason, guards, is probably the nucleus for next year's quint since all mentioned are undergrade. Between them, and wtih another long howitzer by Gibson helping, they, kept the- Viks out front 21-17 at halftime. Bend seemed to come to near the end of the frame and finished fast with hits by Bob James and Smith. i , Salem suddenly slumped all ov er the arena the third period and could score only five points in the eight minutes. Bend was little bet ter and counted a mere six to make it 26-23 for. the Viks at the third quarter stop. A twisting pivot shot by James at the start of the fourth frame closed the gap to one point, but instead of serving as a needed in- wtinn for the listless Salems also. the bucket :; finished scoring for five full minutes. Neither side coipfc do more than, miss both dif ficult and easy shots and play raggedly to boot. ',, A foul pitch by Burlingham with less than -three minutes to play finally: snapped the Vik rub ber, and in rapid succession Cap tain Travis Cross, broke in for a lay-up, Bellinger tossed home a gifter and Cross followed with an- oiner. aii jtsena was geiung was two free tosses by big Smead. - Zeller said farewell to the home folks ; for good by winding up the dreary thing with two clev er shots, one a lay-in the other a left-handed push from the key. James, 6-foot, 1-inch Bend so phomore captured scoring honors with 12, four more than were canned by-Burlingham and Gib son of the Viks. -. And as would be the case, na turally, the . Viks netted nine of 14 free tosses they tried. Missing 20 out of 25 against Dallas last week cost the Viks a possible state tourney berth. " M" So wild was the Bend casting last .night I. that . Coach Claude Cook's club, which will be the dis trict 8 tourney representative if It can get by Hood Blver next week, meshed only nine field goals in 64 attempts for a miserable .141 per centage. The Viks hit 13 for 52 and batted 50. - Although they have one game left, last night's was the last time the Villa customers will see Cross, Burlingham, Don Chapman end Zeller in a Vik hoop suit. All are seniors. " i - ' 4 . . " i -" ' BEND (21): .1 , Rlnes. J8 ft Ft Tt T 0 1 0 1 Jam, t SlMtd, . Woods, (. Smith. g . Hltrlna, e -13 S -IS -11 8 . t u e is n Raamussen, . . Moor, t Brogan. f . .
