' Shortie sporties: ' Add to those whoTl definitely see the next and
last chapter of tni's' winter's Oregon-Oregon State basket battle: Mr.
and Mrs. Hunt Clark. Percy Locey & Co. will see to it, you can be
sure, and little wonder. In 10 years of witnessing DuckBeaver binges,
toe they football or basketball, tall "Huntington and spouse have yet
to see the Beavers finish second best! !.They missed seeing every game
won by Oregon. Consequently, an
OSC biggie should not only buy
'em a ringsider for the finale, but
hould also cart 'em down and
bring 'em back AA slyle . . And
to think Clark, the sheet's circula- ,
tion manager, used to call Oregon
his alma mater, too! Tch, tch
Incidentally, we've already heard
Ted Chambers offer to buy their
ducats for the game if they'd be
certain to go ... To baseball: Per-
haps another Willamette valley
youth about to make his debut in
pro baseball along with ML An-,
gel's Joe Bielemeier and Salem's u
Bob Schwartz. This one is all
around athlete Neil Richardson of
Dallas high. Dragons Coach Andy
Anderson is contacting an Ameri
can Association club regarding
Pitcher Richardson, who won't be
18 until next December. Blond-
headed Neil was a capable moundsman for both the Dragons and Al-
: bany's American Legion Juniors last season and can spin up a wicked
curse. ' He does okeh when in football and basketball togs, too . . .
Another Polk county youth, this one
of Gilbert Loy's Independence Hopsters, has already done better than
okeh in basketball this season. Prior to Wednesday night's Villa mix
with Herm Schwartzkopf s Jayvees, well-built Jones caged 250 points
in 19 games for the Hopsters, a new
ketball scoring . Speaking of
White Father" Duke Trotter, the
home the other day with what looked
be that 538 series he bowled in
the Major league Wednesday night
was too much for him ... Trotter
and coaching pal Bob McGuire to
tally agree with us, incidentally,
in that Oregon's basketball band is
one of the most rough and ready
outfits we've ever seen. . , .
What luck! All Bad
News but - not - good -kind-dept:
Those frowns now worn by
Messrs. Tommy Drynan, Frank
Brown, Gurnee Flesher, Herm
Schwartzkopf, et al, at the Vik
Villa were put there all with one
two-handed blow the other day
when the coaching herd was told
they're to lose no less than, three
and possibly more of the shining
junior high athletic lights before
long via transfers. If s a certainty
that football-basketball whiz Bill
Day, outstanding back in the jun-
- tor high loop last fall, is moving
to California soon, 'tis said. And
Carlos ' Houck, promising -baseball
catcher, proven football player
and up-and-coming basketballer
with Day at Parrish is also sched
uled to move to California. So
are' the Bellinger boys Captain
Allan, the varsity basketballer at
Xho .Villa who has another year of
eligibility leftsnd can play a bet
ter than average game as a foot
ball end, and smaller brother
; Hugh, coming fast as a Parrish
- basketballer. Then too, tis- said
that- Ken Gibson, point-pitching
. Parrish' hoop whiz will possibly
follow older brother Doug to Can-
yonville. '
' i Now if that isn't the toughest
.break the Villa sports department
has received j in years 'n years.
. we've" yet to hear of a worse one.
; 'Every one of those mentioned
have displayed in junior high ath
letics good-reason -to believe they
wul be strictly on Ihe terrific side
when decked out in senior high
duds. . "
It shouldn't happen to a dawg,
says the adage, but It's happening
to the Villa athletic chiefs. And
right when it begins to look like
