Fast-Breaking Jones Grew Shows

.I ,
A typical Dan Jonesj Oregon City basketball band, passing and
shooting on the dead run ind tirelessly, gave off with one of the class
iest prep exhibitions of'the local season at the Villa last night in top
pling, as expected. Salem high's hustlers, Ai-i 5. wo question nut wnai

and-even the band blared in full

and all were treated to the hot
test opening minute and a half of
action seen on village courts in

Tuffy Helmhout and the Pioneers'
four via two casts by Keitlf ,Bak
kum and Art Jones. Six straight
hcits and six straight baskets to
start .things off! ;"
Pioneers Catch Up
Although neither side could
,keep such a roaring pace the
feather-footed clash failed to
. slow in tempo; however, and
midway through the period the
sharpshooting Northerners pulled
astride Coach Frank Brown's
troupe. Arnold Thomas looped
the 8-8 deadlocker and saw 'mate
Jones flip in a free one to shove
OC ahead. But just . before the
buzzer brought the rip-snorting
period to a finish Bellinger drove
in for a lay-up to give SHS a
10-9 lead.
Jones , bulls-eyed with another
from a corner to start out the sec
ond canto and then Bakkum and
Jim Sonderen pitched true With
gifters to push the OClead to
15-10. Bellinger counted a free
toss and Big .Tom Boardmah bat-
ted in a follow-up to slash the
margin, but . Dick Larson, one of
many sparkling reserves for the
Pioneers, made good? with a lofty
try from a corner and the half time
bulge rested 19-14 for the visitors.
It was actually one of the siz
zlingest .top, halves of any ball
game here this year. . ; '
Whammy Strikes
Salem's third-period whammy,
a devastating scoring " drouth
which has seen the Brownies stag-
. ger and fall too many times after
the -halftime rest, was again
largely responsible for her ulti
mate defeat That and the fact
that the fast-breaking Pioneers j
started Jo roll pell-mell during
.the frame. The Viks managed six
points for the period on field hits
by Boardman and Helmhout, and
. gifters by Boardman and Bellin
ger,, but , Jones, Sonderen, Bak
kum and Rinearson took turns at'
the Vik basket for 10 markers to
hold a 9-point advantage going
into the final frame. j
More of this . super fast-break
basketball turned it Into a rout
after Boardman tipped in a deuce
to start the final stanza, and the
Pioneers began impressing the
gallery as being a ball club to be
reckoned with oyer the state. Lit
tle wonder their unbeaten record
s to date. -
Thomas' 10 markers led all
scoring. Boardman for Salem and
both Sonderen and Jones for the
Pioneers were a step behind at
nine. In all the, OC's looped 16"
field goals in 59 casts to Salem's
10 in 56.'
- Herm Schwartzkopf's unbeaten
Juniors are still such after play
ing with' the Pioneer Jayvees in
the prelim, 46-17. Too much
height more than offset the visi
. tors' fast break. Captain Neil
Boehmer, 8-fot 2-inch forward,
looped 16 points to pace the
walkaway.

What! a belated Christmas gift Slats Gill came up with at Oregon
State! By now at peast one Hec Edmundson and his Washington Hus
kies know what vre mean, for last night at Seattle in the Northern
division Opener State "sprung" his belated present 6-foot 8-inch
"Red" Roicha! Wefd like to have seen Edmundson's face when Rocha,
a brand hew transfer from U of Hawaii, strolled out on the Husky
pavilion! Gill wasted it that way n I ) h
no worjd publicly of Rocha's
presence until the Beavers opened
against the Huskies. We'll bet
Edmundson chewed his gum so
fast he bit his tongue.
Just how good the newy will be
is of course yet tobe proven. But
he impressed Slab enough after
but two days' practice to be taken
along in the 10-man travelling
troupe. Rocha's liability isn't to?
tally unknown at that, for he
played freshman f basketball for
Luke Gill when the latter was at
Hawaii. Those to days of work
ing out did impress goggle-eyed
railbirds thai Roch is exception
ally agile, and he failed to display
the clumsiness generally expected
of a gent reaching 6-8 into the
ozone. i j .

son for the "Redi nickname) may not be the tallest eager in the Di
vision what with Fashington State's "Dope Book' listing Vince Hanson
at 6-8, but he'll give Gill's gang far and away the edge in all-around
height for member quints. Put him alongside 6-foot 6-inch Ted Hen-
ningsen, 6-foot 3-inch Dick Strait 6-foot 4-inch Hal Puddy and 6-foot
2-inch George Sertic and see what you have! Near as we figure it, a
6-foot 4.5-inch average for the five! Did someone say something about
"tall firs"? j
He's Tall Enough if Not the Tallest
There has been; some doubt as to Hanson's 6-9 at WSC some say
he's only 6-8. Keri Hays at Oregon is listed as 6-7 officially. But
either way, 6-8 Vi Rocha, a quite slender redhead we're .told, isn't far
from being the tallest trouper in the circuit even if he doesn't happen
to be the tallest
We'd still have liked seeing, Edmundson's face when Rocha ankled
out last night. And we imagine UO's John fWarren will read Rocha's
advance notices twice,-also,
. Speaking of Mentor Gill, he has something to say, when asked,
on the recent hub-bub comparing the present-day Gail Bishop of Fort
Lewis Warriors with Hank Luisetti when the latter was in his All
America hey-day at Stanford. Not long agowe printed here that Jack
Friel, Bishop's boss at Washington State formerly, exclaimed:. "Bishop
is the greatest basketball player in America today." ;
Gill suggests: j I haven't seen Bishop play the last two years arid
he may have improved greatly, but I don't think the Bishop who went
to Washington State could come up to Luisetti. I wouldn't have trad
ed 'Johnny Mandic for him ana he (Bishop) couldn't compare with
Wally Palmberg." j ! f
Present Day Competition Big Factor
Slats also reminds that Bishop is bucking lower class competition
nowadays and insists that cagers of the Mandic, Palmberg and Lew
Beck caliber; "or any gopd pre-war basketball player", would be great
against present day competition. Gill okehs the fact that Bishop is a
great offensive ballplayer, but his 17 years at OSC has taught him that
judging a player doesn't merely constitute that player's ability to
score. An all-around ability is best . Fo instance, Mandic wasn't
only a scorerl but was a defensive whiz as well.

la Luisetti. Palmberg had that season scored 187 points in 16 North
ern division games : for the all-time high, but then along came Bishop
in '43 to hoop 224 for the new record which still stands.
- All in all, Luisetti, Bishop, Palmberg or Mandic, well bet there

five and lost four to date, all four
losses to the U of Oregon Ducks.
One of these setbacks wound up
68-65, indicating that the GIs lean

scoring affairs, another indication

SEATTLE, Jan. 5 .OP) - In a
tense see-saw battle, the Univer

a 48-45 triumph over Oregon State
college to open the northern di
vision, Pacific Coast .conference,
basketball season before a crow i
of 5500 here tonight Washington
led 28 to 27 at the half, I s ; ;
The Washington .Huskies won
the nip and tuck battle in the last
five minutes f play, j after the
score, had been tied there at 39-all,
on the strength of three successive
field goals by substitute forward
Norman Carnovale, who ran the
Huskies to a 45 to 39 advantage.
Oregon State again closed up
the gap, however, and with a min
ute to go the score was! Washing
ton 47, OSC 45. Don McMillan,
Husky forward, sank a free throw
to give Washington its extra point
and put the game on ice.-The last
five minutes of play was indica

first half the score was 'tied three
times.' '.'.;: .!':
At one point about two-thirds
through the half, Oregon State led

halftime margin. The Beavers kept
up the pressure in the second half
and on the strength of successive
baskets by guard John Moore and
forward Ted Henningson, moved
at one time into a 31-29 lead. The
Huskies recaptured the advantage
at 34-33 and held it until the score
was tied again at 39-39.; j i
Playing under the new confer

before a player is benched neither
team lost a man, although forward
Don McMillan of Washington and
forward George Sertic of Oregon
