The Pacific Coast league, mo-,
guls were ve-ry nice to stipu
late a minimum of three tilts per
eason between each of the Ore
gon and Washington schools and
their bis brothers down in sun
ny CaL At ' least the hi boys,
themselves, may have, believed
they were being nice and condescending-
in granting such. Bat
the move certainly doesn't ban
ish the fact that the FCC reeks
with provincialism. The Coast
grid circuit at- one time was
meant to be a well-knit organi
sation ala the Big Nine. Bat the
past few years have seen a defi
nite deviation from such. If
Montana is going to be doled oat
a meagre three conference en
gagements each campaign they're
better off oat of the circuit Oth
erwise the Grizzlies, and Idaho,
too (which gets five loop contests
per annum) are going to develop
powerful inferiority complexes.
Dishing out the peanuts on the
basis of the respective schools'
enrollment and resources Is not
exactly conducive to a smooth
running set-up. If a school isnt
wanted put 'em out in fairness
to all concerned. Anything would
be more satisfactory than ap
peasing the so-called "weak sis
ters" with the left-overs ....

Democrats Ruin Viks'
Debut With 36-33 Win
By Jerry Stone
An invading Jefferson high of Portland hoop brigade last night
ruined the debut of Harold Hauk's latest cage squad by pulling out a
38-33 victory! in the final minutes of a rugged, rough and' thrilling
tussle played before an ample gathering of "first-nighters' at the
local arena.
It was a 12-foot push shot from
the side by jfJuard Bud Covey
with Just two minutes left which
gave the Portlanders their win
ning point after they had been on
the short end of the count most
of the route. i
After a plentiful-shooting-but-mostly-missing
first half which
saw the Vikings leading at the
first quarter mark 10-7 and 18-14
at the intermission, the fracas
accelerated in tempo in the third
with, the score see-sawing back
and forth. A bucket by Salem re
serve pivoter Jack Miller evened
things at 25-25 with the sounding
of the three-quarter buzzer.; That
et the stage for a wild and fast
galloping fourth period. Another
field shot by! Miller plus a; gift
conversion by Forward eith
Famum made it 28-25 fof" the ,
Hauks. Famum hit another gifter
while the Jeffs' Clarence Schmeer
and Duane Enochs were doing
likewise to make it 29-27. Demo
Bud Covey tied er up with a
12-foot push shot but the Vik
ings' Carlos Houck (who played
a great all-around game) jumped
the Salems back to the fore,
31- 30, with a; southpaw whirler
from 12 feet out after Schmeer
had sunk a charity try. '
The six-foot-four inch Enochs
immediately put George Hibbard's
crew back irt the lead as he
tipped one in his seventh buck
et of the evening to make it
32- 31. Miller countered by sweep
ing through for a lay-in and it
was 33-32 for the Viks with two
minutes left. Covey then iced the
tilt for the Jeffs as he dropped
the big one in and Enochs made
it safe in the dying seconds, with
the Hauks scrambling fox the
ball, as he hit a pusher.
A tetI of 47 fouls were called
during the contest, 26 of them on
Salem. The Viks lost Guard Hugh
Bellinger ana Farnum on infrac
tions, Bellinget's exit late in the
third definitely hurting the locals'
chances.
- Houck, Bellinger and Miller
each garnered eight points to pace
the losers, while Enochs 15 were
easily tops for the game. -
Both clubs iwere terribly off
in their basket shooting. Time and
again successful breaks for the
bucket were nullified by misses.
The prelim" saw the Jeff Bees
drop Loren Mort's Vik Jayvees,
24-18. It was i the first loss for
the Vik seconds in 31 starts. They
went undefeated last . year.

WIL Ball Shot in Arm
The minor leagues baseball
yielded Important developments
league, it was learned yesterday by Salem Senators Business Man
ager George Emigh through League President Bob AbeL The
Class B player limit was raised from II to 17 men and the salary
limit was raised proportionately, although the new top waa not
made known pjpblicly. Also, the new option rule which was to go
Into effect next season was postponed one year instead. Which
means that optioning parent clubs may continue to pay part of
the salaries of players farmed out to lower leagues.
It was believed that the WIL, because of the new option rule,
would apply for Class A rating so as to be abler to offset the loss
of such player payments by parent clubs. But sinee the rule has
been postponed, there is no need for a higher classification in the
league, according to Emigh. The business manager also visions a
better class of baseball In the league next year now that both the
player and salary limits have been raised.
Emigh expects to have more announcements to make con
cerning the Senators for 1948 after be meets with Portland Boss
Bill Mulligan next week.

aged to bring forth the following
bits of information:
(1) That be plans to fight once

good a chance as Walcott of be
coming Louis opponent for that

(3) That after his retirement
he will engage to some extent
in several business enterprises,
including a publicity agency with
which he has been associated ever
since he left the army.

ducing bis weight from 215 to
211 pounds" In the last two days

in a return engagement. And

sorry that Jersey Joe and his
handlers were so obviously per
turbed about the decision.
