Vikings Again Trim Astoria, 42-37; Bearcats Wallop C-Odaho Five, 76-50 Salems Sharp In Hot Gash By Al Llghtner Salem high's Vikings last night proved their shattering of As toria's 20-g? me win binge Friday was no fluke by again dumping the Fishermen, this time 42 to 37, In an oft . mercuried mix before a near full houe at the Villa. It was 43-30 in the Friday opener, but the Ernie Stranx quint was much more in the ball game last night as the two rivals closed out their annual four-game series at two victories each. The all-time count now rests at 24-22 for As toria, In the prelim Loren Mort s Jayvees turned in a 37-31 vic tory over Ollie Williams' Aums ville Rangers, leaders of the South Marion county B chae. Harold Hauk's crew, potent as ever on the home speedway, has had few first quarters in any season as thrill-filled as was lat night'. The count was knotted four times and the lead changed sides thrice before Salem came up with a 10-9 bulge at the buzz er. The narrowness was almo.-t as accented in the second period, although the Viking, mostly on the strength of some brilliant all around play by Center Jack Mil ler, managed a four-point mar gin near the end. At halftime the difference was 21-18 as Bud Duval meshed a 20-footer in the final seconds for the Villa team. Had the Salems been able to connect with free throws with any degree of regularity at all, the count would have been con siderably more one-sided. In the first two chapters tney Diew eigm , of 11. Hugh Bellinger and Captain Carlos Houck Joined with the in spired Miller in the third period to put Salem in front 34-27 at Its finish. But even with a seven point advantage no one in the arena was convinced the Vikings bad the game in the bag. As continued on page 15) Dodds Fails At New Mark BOSTON.
