Play Portlands Tonight
i Hauk Quint Rolls Up 52-35 Victory; Houck
Paces Win; Jayrees Capture 3rd Straight
By Al Llghtaer -Salem
high's Vikings came back from their lengthy vacation
last night at the Villa, sprung a brand new combination on the
Oregon City Pioneers and walked away with a 92 to 23 basket
ball victory. 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.
