And it can be added and proved right here that Salem, has never liked that setup the Viks have always wanted to earn their, way in and felt like they didn't belong in the classic if they couldn't do so. You also dig up gruesome skeletons of the past, which we in Salem have tried to keep buried deep the 1924 black eye brought about by Salem students heading for Dallas and the school superin tendent with thoughts of a lynching because he, as head of the dis trict, disqualified Salem from tourney play because of an ineligible player, and the 1941 Astoria-Salem restaurant. brawl after the Fish ermen won the title from the Viks. You can believe us, Salem is trying to forget those atrocities and is doing everything it can to in sure the future against more like 'em. We cant thank you for baring the past. , " Speaking of Sportsmanship Tch9 tch. i Also, you write of our city's sportsmanship as being strictly 4-F, comparable to the officiating in the Dallas-Salem game. We agree with you on the latter, but have only to ask you upon what do you base your accusation on the former? There were no fights, no down town demonstration (excepting rejoicing Dallas kids trying -to un roll the sidewalks), no lynching mob nothing but a horde of sor rowed Salem kids who couldn't believe what they'd just seen. It was that hard to believe. By your writing we know you're well read in the sport But "way down deep, below, your personal pride in Dallas and the Dragons, won't you admit that the best team didn't win that game Salem could beat Dallas fairly and squarely, sens riots, etc., nine out of 10 times and you know it . ' Speaking of sportsmanship, what s , your honest j opinion of a coach who bleats heated fie at an official the entire ball game and then, after finally winning it, literally streaks for the same ofldal to affectionately pump his hand? Then in the very next game, more of sam fi thrown, but after losing -it be streaks for the official in this case the most reputable strii-shirter on the coast, Emil Piluso and accuses him of cheating. Good srxrtsmanhip? Incidentally, the coach came near getting bopped on the beak by Piluso for his remarks, the difference in ages being the only thing that kept Piluso's fists merely clenched.

As it is nowvneither Dallas nor Salem will be around come tourney time Dallas; like Salem, having lound out what a ad night can do In these sudden death clashes.
