Coach Loren Mort's evening by notching their third straight decision nl the opener over the O-Oty seconds, 17-28. Both the varsity and Jayvees. to night take on the Commerce Ste nogs of Portland, the latter open ing the pitch at liO o'clock. Boss Harold Hauk's new start ing unit of Waldo Unruh and Keith Farnum at forwards, Carlos Houck at center and Hugh Bellin ger and Bud Duval at guards proved to be not only rangy but fast. It was easily the best Salem has looked this season. The return of Unruh to the lineup after his long absence with a sprained an kle seemed to give the Viks much better balance and moved the ca pable Houck into the center post where ha performed well both de fensively and offensively. Houck came up with the top scoring Job for the game with his 12 mark- The two clubs tussled on fairly even terms the first period, Sa lem holding a 17-12 lead at its demise. The Vikings started gal loping faster and found numerous holes in the O-City defense in period two and ran up a 23-15 nalftime count. It was 49-20 at the third stop, and to prevent a worse rout Hauk sent in his many reserves to play out the final chapter. Oregon City's seconds were sent in also and tallied 15 points to Salem's three for the eight minutes. In all Salem hooped 21 field goals, many on fast breaks and lay-ups, while the Pioneers Were held to nine. Had Salem hit a good percentage of the many free tosses awsrded the score Would have been even more lop sided. The Viks missed 20 of 30 tries and Oregon City hit 17 of 29. The entire game was marked at times by ragged play by both sides but Salem managed to offset it with splashes of the zip and shooting form which carried the Viks to the Big Six title and a fourth place finish in the state tournament last season.
