. . . 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-

C.ill is well fixed following
that devastation, however. In

threat for the title a year hence,
however . . . Although they didn't
do as well as expected this season.

loses only Boody Gilbertson and

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 . . .
