Again it was' Gail Bishop who paced ; the Fircrests to the win.
Following up on last nights per
formance when . he canned 31
counters Bishop couldn't do as
well tonight potting 17 tallies
but they were good enough to
give the local club a winning
margin.
For Salem it was Ernie Masko
vich at forward who spearheaded
the attack with 13 points. Center
Bill Osterhaus was close behind
with 10.
Salem's Trailblazers opeft at
home on the Armory floor Thurs

and John Matanich, at forward hit
' 5" and 6' 3" respectively. The
Ramblers also carry Pat Dorsey,

punch for the Yaks.

Kolli ft 'Along
By Jerry Stone
Frank Wlckhorst is oa the pan and how at California. The
students and some of the "influential" alumni vow to do away once and
for all with the Bears' lon-tisae policy of conservative football
and Wlekhortt. being the present mentor. Is the poor lad who's
Bears have never been noted for
a daring, wide open brand of
pigskla pyrotechnics. It's true
whether It was Stub Allison or
Wickhorst guiding- 'em. And yet
the Berkeleys did okar In the days
of Vie Battarl and Bob Herwlg.
Maybe It's the answer which Is
asaally applicable la such hem
ming and haw ing. Material. If the
dlears had had snfficient line
strength this year and power la
the back fie Id their straightaway
grid tactics might have paid off
handsomely Instead of netting
them a 2 won. 9 lost season. . . .
But to soothe the school's Injured
pride and scarred rr potation the
hatrhetmen turn to the mot con
venient fall tuy and its si
ways the to-be-pitied guy who
maybe the year before signed a
two year contract. But the con- VINCE HANSON
tract ran always be easily gotten around for when the "wolves'
howl Inevitably comes the "resignation under pressure.' . . .
Vo Irish Breakaway Back?
Notre Dame's Frank Leahv moaned at the beginning and through
most of the season that he didn't have a talented breakaway back.
If Coy McGee. the lad who was a streak of swift against Southern
California, isn't just such an article then there Just ain't sech an
animal. Answer probably is that the Irish have been so over-loaded
with capable backs that Leahy couldn't see the tree for the forest.
At that ND has any number of packers that rival mentors would
give 1 years off their life to posses. AND ex-Willamette Floyd
Rlmmoas turned in a fine performance on his own accord against
the Cravathmen. Simmons sprinted for several Jaunts ' of over 15
yards and nabbed a 49 yard pass. Wealth makes wealth and so we
have Hood River's Don O'Leary traipsing off to South Bend next
year also. . . . Predicament: WSCs Vince Hanson Is dropping ait
of basketball this year BECAUSE his slse 8l feet don't go with
his six feet, seven Inches altitude. Coach Jack Frlel has converted
Vines to floor exercises through this winter, figuring that the high
scoring pivot man will be in shape for the '4S campaign. Seems
Hanson's ability to maneuver Is Impaired by the disproportionate
slse of his dogs. . . . The Cougar grid club leads the nation In
matter of pass defense (up to the Michigan State game). But 2C
forwards completed against. Coach rhil Sorboe's lads la 95 attempts
good for only 491 yards. . . Quite a Northern division flavor to
Madison Square Garden basketball this year what with Idaho, Ore
gon State and Oregon all booked for December games in the Big
Town's pavillion. ...
Connors Came Through
Cece Connors, who played most of the year with the Bearcat
Jayvees. proved the key man In. Willamette's 7-9 win aver Whitman.
Called to a front line spot after regular Fullback Al Wicker was
stricken by Illness, Connors' Use plunging proved the deciding fac
tor at Walla Walla. . . . High school grid games pull up Taeoma way
as witness the 1CJ999 crowd which sat In on the Stadium-Lincoln
city championship battle. . . . On the surface Oregon's double past-Ings-r-AND
pastings they were of the CBC hoop Thanderbirds last
week point to a mediocre Bird season. BUT three of the UBC regu
lars didn't Ungle with the Ducks so beware accordingly Willamette
ad the rest of you Northwest conference teams. ...

Wharton-Fritz
Draw Interest
Interest is booming among local
fight fans following Monday's an
nouncement by Promoter Tex Sal
keld that he had signed Portland's
Eddie (Sugar) Wharton to trade
leather with Billy (The Kid) Fritz
in the 10-round main event mix
on the coming December 11 card
at the armory.
Wharton, an ebony flash with
plenty of sting in his gloves, has
built a following here after chalk
ing up three easy wins in his only
local appearances. Salem fans are
convinced that Fritz a newcomer
to the coast will have to put on
a top ring performance if he is
to keep on even terms with the
Rose City fighter.
On the other hand Salkeld him
self is of the opinion that Whar
ton must be sharper than he was
in his previous appearances if he
is to come out the winner over
the New Jefsey boy.
"Joey Dolan, the great little
Spokane featherweight, bought
L Fritz contract," says Salkeld, -and
that means Billy must have plenty
of promise."

over in Corvallis on a scouting
foray to glimpse Slats Gill's

against the Preferred Stock in
dependents of Portland. The Cats
meet the Bevos Dec. 10.
Still a puzzler was Just whom
would be in the starting line-up
for the Cats in their Friday night
go. One of those most likely to
open is Forward Fred Graham,
last 'year's high scorer. With the
fight hot among all 13 first team
candidates Schaake in the end
may fall back on experience. And
that means Lettermen Wes Sax
ton, and Marshall Barbour, for
wards; and Guards Duane Rags
dale and Ollie Williams as well as
Graham may have the best shot
at front and rear spots. Al Mc
Rae, 6' 3" former Salem high
star and Miit Baum loom as good
bets for the pivot post.
Not to be overlooked, however,
are some hoop gems from the rest
of the lot. Schaake has been im

height) of 6' 3" Al McRae; Scotty
Sebern and Frankie Page - - all
ex-Salem high stars. Also defin

bosses, from top to bot
tom milled and mulled in .hotel
lobbies or holed up in meetings
today preliminary to the big na
tional gathering Thursday when
an historical chapter may be add
ed to the sport but more likely
will not.
Whether the National and
American league executives will
accede to the demand of the, Pa
cific Coast league for recognition
as a third major circuit appeared
improbable to many observers
close to the picture.
Coast loop directors, renewing
a request made a year ago, were
prepared to press for action- They
passed a resolution yesterday for
presentation to the heads of the
two big leagues.
Parity is sought by the present
Triple "A .league In an effort to
eliminate the draft by which many
of its star hired hands are-vulnerable.
As a partial concession, the
majors boosted the draft price
from $7500 to $10,000 at the last
meeting. The Coast people also
consider themselves grown to
major league stature now in view
of the population migration to the
west. Opinions on this matter
were at variance, however. The j
general sentiment indicated the
belief the Coast loop eventually
will become a third major league!
withm the next ten years Doubt i
was expressed the time is ripe j
nW' . ,j , , , 4. .
It was held likely that the maj-1
ors, in lieu of requested recogni-
lion, would offer such concession
as uvn naming ui mc juajui -iiunoi
leagues agreement to give the
Coast circuit iron clad territorial
rights. At present, a big league
team can invade the Coast area
by payment of $5000, plus certain
other indemnities to the league
proper.
