Never in hitry lias an ; Oregon SUte basketball team wen ' 11 fear ef their annul tries in the northeast end of the confer eace. And don't for a minate think this great Beaver aggrega tion bva't hot U do something a boat that bit of history la the next five days . . . Looking back on the division season, the "ex perts", or those gents who don't mind risking their reputation vo- rally, opined at the beginning that the Oregon-Washington series of ROY IIELSER this weekend In Seattle would de ride the 1947 championship. Much to the chagrin of both Messrs. Hec Edmundsoa and Howard Hobson. the bo v blew that one but badly . . . Who does Slats Gill loe off this outfit for next year? Merely three of the starting five and his best reserve. Lew Beck. Red Roe ha and Morrie Silver are the senior regulars and losing that threesome is enough to crack even Slats' faith in human kindness and the departing reserve is Sil- verton's Erland (Andy) Ander son C.ill is well fixed following that devastation, however. In fact, only Norm Carey, the for mer Gates high sharpie aud Doug Martin, the big 6-foot 7-lncher arc Juniors. The rest Cliff Crandall. ' Ernie .Veal. Alex Peterson. Frank Roelandt and Dan Torre y are either Kophomores or freshmen . . . We ll be "expert" enough right now to bet you Gill is still a threat for the title a year hence, however . . . Although they didn't do as well as expected this season. II e c Edmundson's W ashing tons should be much tougher next. He loses only Boody Gilbertson and Charley Sheaffer off the current Hub and has coming back such memorables as Jack Nichols. Bob Jorgenson. Sammy White and Bill Taylor, merely four of his present starting five . . . Mebbe we'd best recall that bet . . . Cihttare Happy Cent One native especially grateful for the week's sunshine is Vern Gilmore. about to return to his chores as Salem high's track coach after being off to war four springs. Officially, track practice doesn't open at the Villa until next week. But the athletic de partment master who has turned out his share of cinder w inner has had the SHS early birds out on the brand new oval all this week getting In a few tuneup rounds . . . And what a fine oval the Viks have to work on this time. The new cinders have been rolled In. and altogether this modernistic layout with Its 220 ard straight-a-way stretch is ure to be one of the finest prep track and field yards In the tale . . . Former Senator favorite Roy Helser, a 26-game winner again last season for Portland despite the fact that Br'er Bevo finished last, is a holdout. And little won der. We're told Roy was offered a contract calling for nothing more than he got for hi. big 1146 season . . . Another Bevo nixing 1947 offers is Vern Reynolds, the infielder who saw much of his 1946 season In our townies' in field. Vern doesn't want to take a rut in salary, so figures he'll hang 'em up and stick with his sporting goods job with Mike Moran in Portland . . . Her l.ore Puerto Rico Other than finding the weather brutally hot. no white people, no natives who can speak English and no Yankee mate who can chatter In the Puerto Rican tongue, no leniency In Becky Har ris as a manager, no good sleep ing weather at night, no danger sign on a cement wall In the out t field and no good reason to lleve other than he'll be In Up-top shape a lot sooner than expected. Villager Bill Sevens la finding spring training In the tropics so marvelous that he'd likely swim back to the mainland tomorrow. If he had the chance. Bev's first day In camp after a record 6-hour flight from New York was a dinger. Manager Harris singled him out of 17 pitchers for extra curricular da ties aa a measure of tightening up Bill's porous de fensive play. And then, while chasing down fungoes In the out field. Willy am duelled with a ce ment barricade, lost and wound np with a wrenched hand and skinned arm and face. The weather is such that excess poundage drips off even at night, the people look at the ballgansers a If the circus is in town and the dally drills are long and hard. And to make It even worse per haps worst of all Bev says Puer to Rican beer Is steenko . . . Colonial. Eye Title ! PORTLAND.
