KoMh' Along By Jerry Stone Are set-shot artists becoming even rarer than they were? lack Goldsmith, the former Long Island U star and recently acquired by the Portland cage pros, is a prime example of a top "set" man. And Tom Warren, Willamette's back-court man, is another talented howitzer flipper, and has come throne h nicely in the clutch for the locals this season. But with the modern fire-en gine type of basketball the set-shot Is becoming less and less a part of the scene. Speed Is the keynote now adays and when you're charging full blast down the court It's the one hajsded pusher that Is the convenient method. ... Incidentally, Oregon State's Beavers could have found use for a good howitzer man when they futiley bucked up against Washing ton's sone last weekend. . . . so richly o It's strange that a endowed with baseball Eddie Miller should so often step into situations which place his diamond earner in Jeopardy. Eddie' as you TOM WAJUtEN tembUess have read, wagged his Udtm at the) txptnae of his Ctn cinaatl bosses and was promptly traded. Probably the oao reason and It's a good one that the Phils acquired Eddie Is the fact Miller Is rated by many, the best shortstop In the) majors. If Eddie hud been only mediocre be would have been out of the big league picture time ago, for his temperament Is not the kind bell clubs like. Carlos (Cub) Houck, Salem high pivot man. may not be i range dead eye dick but Cub in an under-the-bazket scrimmage. Is very dangerous guy. He's blossomed out this year as a first rate tipper-la and showed especially well la that department against the Albany Bulldogs the other eve. One thing that should draw the eyes of college mentors to Houck Is the kid's aggressiveness. The rougher the going the better Cub likes It . . . Hank Juraa and his Salem high grap piers are off to a good start with nine wins and but two setbacks thus far In the sampslm i and what a Isack-bresklng schedule theyva taken em this year. The Vik ' auatmen have gone Into action as much as four times m oao week and that Includes some good-steed trips. The kids who turn out for the mat sport really love the game. They don't get the erowds or the cheers that the hoop boys do, but they're trying Just as bard. Frank (Buster) McMillan, the one-time Curl Mays ball schooler and Portland Beaver who comes to the Senators this year. Is another guy who might have hit the top but for the war. Buster was a whale of a kid catching prospect for the Portlands about 19 SS and soeaningty couldn't miss advancing an the baseball ladder. But a hitsh In the service Jimnud up his timetable.
