Farnam Hits 24 Points, Fitter 16
As Locals Make Impressive Debut
By Jerry Stone '
If a first night's performance can be any indication look for Sa
lem high's basketball forces to be an outfit to contend with this sea
son. Harold Hauk's current hoop brigade raised a lot of eyebrows
and poured a healthy batch of points in their 194S-49 debut last night
at the local arena as they smeared the Roosevelt Rough riders of Port
land, 61-41. The Salems were on top at the half, 50-28.
It was a couple of lanky forwards Letterman Keith Farnum
and Juntos Benny Pitzer who played the main roles " in the Viks'
offensive barrage. Farnam whirl

hind with li. One of the top per
formers on the. floor was the Ted
dies Tom Winters who banged in
21 counters, including nine
straight free tosses without a miss.
With Pitzer leading the way
with: seven points for the eight
minute session the Hauks moved
to a 14-13 first quarter advan
tage, with Rollie Rourke's gang
pressing them closely via the
nine-point efforts of Forward
Ben Johnson.
As the second period opened
Center "Lloyd Bergman dropped a
gift toss to tie r at 14-14 and
then the deadeye Winters canned
a pair of charity shots to give
the invaders a 16-14 margin. Pitz
er and Center Tom Paulus imme
diately bucketed field goals and
Paulus added a free throw to give
the Salems a 19-16 lead. Then
came a procession of foul tosses,
the Teddies hitting five, the Viks
three, to knot the score at 21-21
with four ml nates left in the se
cond heat. Two' minutes later it
was 26-26 on Winters' close-in
goal but Farnam, hitting his in

Died in two quick pushers to pro
vide the locals with their 30-26
halftime lead.
The third quarter was pretty
much a Farnam show as the slen
der front - court man ran
through and around the Roose
vett defenses to slam in four
buckets and a pair of gifters that
sparked his club to a 42-13 ad
vantage at the end of the period.
That outburst raised Famam's
total to 16 inside of 12 minutes
Starting the final eight minutes
it was not so much the matter of
who'd win the ball game but Just
bow far the Salems could mount
their, score. Pitzer holed out two
lay - ins to offset one by Winters
and it was 46-35. Farnam came
through with his- ninth basket.
then - Winters hit again only to
have Pitzer and George Freder
ickson tickle the twine - and it
was 52-37. With four minutes left
in the battle Salem rooters began
howling, "Make it 60!" and
that the .Hanks proceeded to do
with Gene Carver's two last
minute goals doing the trick.
The local crew predominated
nnder the backboards a the six
feet, four inch" .Paulus and Far
nam consistently yanked the ball i
way from the shorter Teddies.
A total of 40 personals were
called, with Salem's two starting
guards, Daryl Girod and Bud Du
val exiting via fouls. Johnson of
the invaders also went to the side
lines on infractions. .
Of the 41 points the Roosevelts
collected 32 of e'm were account
ed for by Winters and Johnson
While Farnam and Pitzer: with
their combined 40 tallies give in
dications of providing a potent
one - two punch for the 14th

Roosevelt dropped in 15 of 21
free throw attempts, the Hauks
hit home with 11 out of 19.

Prep Proposal
Pigeon-Holed
PORTLAND, Dec. 4 -P)- An
attempt to reclassify Oregon high
schools for sports competition was
shelved here last night.
The delegate assembly of the
Oregon High School Activities
association tabled two proposals
to re-divide the schools.
The proposals were for crea
tion of a new claas composed of
the larger schools. The present
division is at 150 students Class
A school having more and Class. B
schools up to that number. The
delegate assembly said it wsnted
to study the proposals longer.
A bigger cut of football play
off profits was voted to the asso
ciation. It has been taking 25
per cent from the semi-finals and
50 per cent from the net of the
final games. The new percentages
wiU be 50 and 75.
Schools were forbidden to take
part in any all-star games. This
does not affect the Shrine all
star game in Portland, which uses
players who have completed high
school.

ed California that year, and there's
quite n story on the game. Those
were the years of Andy Smith's
."Wonder Teams", at Cal, and of
'Brick Muller, the man with the
gargantuish pass. W Sc J was fa
vored to take a fearful shellack
ing, but it ended 0-0 finally and
nary a substitute did the- Presi
dents use the entire game. Played
in a driving rain, the game didn't
see the famed Muller in action un
til its waning moments. He was
sent in to do .the inevitable, pass
one of his specials for a needed
touchdown. Bat when Muller en
tered the game in his fresh and
dry uniform, the W Sc Js, slimy
with the mud and goo absorbed
during the battle, called a time out.
All players, including Aiken, didn't
go into the conventional huddle,
however. They approached the
great Muller instead and welcom
ed him into the game with such
as, "We werei hoping we'd get to
see the great Brick Muller play
sure glad to meet such a fine All
America n as you." All the while,
as each member voiced his praise,
he also shook Muller's hand, slap
ped him on the back; hugged him
and, more important, made sure he
was slopped up with mud in gen
eral. It worked. Whert play resum
ed Muller was so daubed with the
terrain he looked as if he has been
playing the whole game too. His
passes failed.
The W Sc J't had made sure that
the dry hands sent into the game
to beat them were fit for anything
but throwing accurate passes. . .
