Rod Province, center, and Al Chamberlain and Dick Hen drie, guards. There Is a possibill J either Bunny Mason or Jack ritzmaurice will open at the pivot pot Instead of Province, how ever. Meanwhile, the Alumni quint, made up mostly of members of the point-crazy Page Woolens of the City league, Is taking shape. Coached by Frankie Page, mem ber of Salem's 1939 state title team, the squad boasts such re membered talent as Page him self, Scottie Sebern, Roger Quack enbush, Al McRae, Bob McKee, Eddie Salstrom, Jim Henery, Don Bower, Cece Quesseth and Otto SkoplL The Alumni, open to any one who ever played varsity bas ketball at SHS, will probably boast a few oldtimers also. , . ri m ' i , ....

The board itself intends a few '"alterations on the grounds, which is probably the reason for the delay.

But what th' heckfjust, think of the fun youTl have battling your way 9 into Willamette's gym next March t . , . Speaking of laughs, this one f qualifies as second best of the week: "Happy" Chandler, base- s ball's high pooh-bah who's been having quite a bit of pooh tossed I at him since succeeding Judge l- Landis, picked up 14 votes in the national poll on 194S's biggest nop.

Remember Wild Bill Kelly, the 1942 Senators lefty with so much stuff and lack of control he had even the bleacherites ducking when he uncorked a serve? He's back from 33 months of leather necking it on Guadalcanal, Bougainville, etc., weights a rawboned 173 (five pounds less than his '42 pitching weight), is married and Is right anxious to hook on with Bill Klepper & Co. In fact, Solon BM George Emigh has "already talked to Kelly on the subject Three years away from the game Is a long spell for a pitcher, but if Bill can come back with as much as he had in '42, and can get it over the platter, hell have no trouble winning. Remember, the '42 'Salems had both Kelly and Jack Warren sold to the Cin cinnati Reds when CI calls came to nullify the deals'. . . More Solon Protpectt , Re Senator mound possibilities for '48, we understand Bud Moore, . the 13-game winner in 1942 who followed up. by developing into a first-rate GI moundsman in Texas, has now shed his sergeant's stripes and is anxious to return to pro ball. Bud could have notched over 20 wins in '42 if he had been favored with a strong supporting cast . . . Also, Don Fills, the Leb anon high lad who fireballed for Bill .Wilkinson's Albany Legion kids last summer, is said to be ready for a whack at the pay-for- play biz, quite probably with the Senators. .
