Midweek maand rings:
Bill Austin! decision to play
In the Shrine game it San Fran
cisco instead of with his Beaver
pals in the Pineapple Bowl in
Honolulu has something besides
sentiment behind it Bill fully
intends playing pro football and
knows the Kezar stadium stands
at SF. will be dotted with pro
fessional team scouts. . . . Speak
ing of OSC footballers, that sortie
we took awhile back, on Carlos
Houck being one of the first ex
Salems to land on either an Ore
gon or Oregon State team since
EDDIE KOWALSKI
the days of Jimmy Nicholson and
-Butch" Nelson at Oregon,
brought this reminder from Cor
vallis faithful: Don Coons did
quite a bit of playing for the
Beavers, too. . . .
Almost lost In the shuffle re
cently was the news that the
Chicago Cubs had drafted Pitcher
Eddie Kowalski from the Beav
ers. Eddie was the hard-throwing,
but equally wild Saginaw,
Mich., lad with the town Senators
in 1946. He was recommended to
the parent Portlands by Joe Gor
don, who had Eddie on his GI
team during the war.' As we re
call, both Gordon and the late
Frisco Edwards early in '48 opined
Eddie would be a major leaguer
one day. . . . Tacoma's new man
ager Bob Johnson doesn't think
hell activate himself as a WIL
player, "unless I'm needed."
Should he be needed, WI cus
tomers will see some right pert
stroking. For Johnson can still
hit, plenty. . . .
Oregon State in the northern
division and Southern California
down south is the way the pre
season prognosticators are pick
ing the Coast conference teams.
Which makes neither Slats Gill
nor Sam Barry a bit happy.
Anyway, the Beavers and Trojans
"kick off the San Francisco Cow
Palace tournament December 27
by playing against each other in
the first game. ... In case you
missed it earlier, the other open
ing round games toss Washington
State at UCLA. Oregon against
Stanford and Washington oppo
site California, in that order. . . .
That "Little Rose Bowl" deal
in Pasadena, featuring the na
tion's "best" . junior colleges, is
already big business. Not once in
its three-year history has the
early-December game pulled less
than 50,000 paid customers. And
at $3 and $4 per seat, mind you.
Here's how the pie is cut. The
Eastern representative, as well as
the Western, ,fHs 25 per cent of
the net. Charity gets 10 per cent
and the California Junior College
association another 10. The spon
soring Pasadena Junior Chamber
of Commerce plucks the other 30
per cent. Figuring that the gross
take is $150,000, each school
plucks a cool $30,000 after taxes,
etc., are deducted. Also, the spon
sors pay the expenses incurred
by the invited teams. Thirty thou
sand clams isn't a bad haul for
junior college, girls. . . .
The new "let 'em go" basketball
writ, when players are going af
ter rebounds and other loose balls,
makes for all the ruggedness we
believe you'll care to see in games
this season. The rule book says
officials shall not call a held ball
unless two players have a firm
grip on the ball and it doesn't
come free after one tug. Of course
if there is danger of injury, a
held ball should be called. So far
you've perhaps seen the result.
The players go. after those re
bounds with added gusto, for they
know they'll not be penalized if
they are making a bonifide at
tempt to get the ball. Also, they
go after the loose ball on the
floor just as willfully. Naturally,
if a player's position is bad in
these mad scrambles, and he lands
on an opponent's back, he gets
fouled. In short, to be with the
glue on his fingers goes the glory,
and possession of the ball. But to
he with butter thereon goes
bumps and - bruises, legally. . . .
Bill Bevens unloaded a sigh of
relief when he learned just who
jvas headed for the St. Louis
Browns in the deal for Pitcher
Fred Sanford, for he figured he
was "it." Bill doesn't necessarily
want to work for the Yankees
any more. But if he has to land
elsewhere, he'd just as soon it
wouldn't be in St. Louis, Wash
ington or Chicago. ... So happy
was East Lansing, Mich., when
the Michigan Staters were ac
cepted into the "Big 10" that the
city as well as the school itself
celebrated New Year's eve early.
The MSCs have many friends in
Oregon who are tickled the Spar
tans made the grade also. ...
Yakima is supposed to name
Its new manager for 1949 some
time today, and just as good a
bet as any is Charley Petersen,
who really is nothing new in
these parts. . . .

Vikings Tally
53-46 Victory
Famam Swishes 27
In Torrid Cdntesf
McARTHUR COtJRT, Eugene,
Dec. 15 -(Special)- Salem high's
Vikings, mostly in the person of
six-foot, three-inch Keith Far
nam, tonight outlasted the Eu
gene Axemen in their Big Six
league basketball opener here and
snatched a 53-46 fictory. Blond
Mr. Farnam, firing, sensationally
from all angles, potted 27 points
on 10 field goals ahd seven free
tosses.
It was Farnam and his 12-point
crusade against the Eugene bas
ket in the third quarter that gain
ed the necessary edge for Coach
Harold Hauk's hard-running lads.
In fact, the dozen Farnam points
in that period were all Salem
made. But they brought the Vik
ings from a 29-29 halftime to
a 41-31 third period lead.
Salem combatted the gigantic
Eugenes well, and particularly in
the third period when the Axe
men could make but two points.
Stellar defense performers were
Tom Paulus, Farnam, Benny Pit
zer and the two starting guards,
Bud Duval and Darrell Girod.
Pitzer also pitched 13 points for
Salem, the same total hemped by
Jack Parsons, six-foot, five-inch
Eugene forward.
Eugene managed to lead 15-13
at the first quarter, but the
Salem surge by Farnam in No. 3
turned out to be the ball game.
The Viking Beesi bossed by
Loren Mort, made it a clean sweep
in the prelim with 36-32 win.

Two Fielding Marks
CHICAGO, Dec. 15 -OP)- The
world champion Cleveland In
dians set the defensive pace in
the 1948 American league cam
paign, missing by one point of
tying the major league fielding
record they established in 1947.
Cleveland fielded .982 to lead
the league and also boasted three
players who were the best de
fensively at their individual po
sitions. Manager Lou Boudreau ex
celled at shortstop with .975. while
Eddie Robinson, now traded to
Washington, led first basemen
with .975 and Dale Mitchell ran
off with the top mark for out
fielders with .991.
The official averages released
today show that George Stirn
weiss. New York Yankees, was
the best fielding second baseman
with .993 in 141 games; Hank
Majeski of the Philadelphia Ath
letics was the league's best third
baseman, finishing with a .975
percentage, and Bob Swift of De
troit was the highest ranking
catcher of .991 percentage.
Stirnweis smashed two major
league records in leading the sec
ond sackers. His .993 percentage
blotted out the old mark of .992
and his five errors in handling
715 chances was a new season
low.
Thirty-six pitchers fielded
flawlessly, but Freddie Hutchin
son of the Detroit Tigers led the
league with most chances when
he handled 64 without an error.
Pitcher Hal Newhouser of De
troit started four double plays in
a single game. George Vico. also
of Detroit, and Robinson, Cleve
land, tied a mark for first base
men by participating in six dou
ble plays.
Joe Gordon of Cleveland tied
a record for second basemen by
twice participating infive double
plays during separate games.

connection with the Salem Chapter
of the Izaak Walton league at the
chamber of commerce. Don Har
ger, president of the Salem I-Ws,
presided over the interesting ses
sion. After Game Supervisor C. A.
Lock wood, introduced as one of
"the most cussed and discussed
men In the state," rendered a 30
minute talk on what the Commis
sion stands for, what it is doing
and how it is doing it, the floor
was turned over to the 65 visitors
and their questions. Many of the
questions were in the form of com
plaints On such as bag limits, sizes
of legal fish, hunting and fishing
developments in general and spe
cial hunting seasons.
The questions were answered
by the eight members of the com
mission in attendance with Lock
wood. Lock wood told of the large
building program the commission
has undertaken on the state's
hatcheries, and upon how many
fish, 22 million,
were liberated over the state this
year. Just what kind of work is being
done, where it is being done and how
much it is costing were included.
The supervisor also spoke at length
on what the commission la doing to

Pete Traded

Annual Major League

CHICAGO, Dec.
Pete Reiser, once the pride of the
Brooklyn Dodgers, was traded to
the. Boston Braves today lor out
fielder, Mike McCormick and an
unnamed player. i ' i"
No .cash was involved piri the
swap of veteran outfielders ' that
closed the annual winter baseball
meetings during which players
with a total value of well over a'
million dollars changed hands.
Reiser, who has made a career
out of running full speed into ball
park fences, struggled through the
worst season of. his career in 1948.'
He hit only .286 in 64 games as
compared with his brilliant rookie
year in 1941 when he lead the
league with .343. Bone chips in
his ankle and severe headaches
kept Reiser on the bench most of
the time. When he did play; it was
only in purts. He was shunned
from the outfield to third j and
even played first base briefly. At
the end of this disastrous year, he
told newsmen he wanted to be
traded although his contract called
for between 918,000 and ' 1.000.
He can't be cut more than 5 per
cent. " ' ' ' i v . . " j
Boston has been j combing the
majors and high minors looking
for an outfielder, the weakest t pot
on tHe 1948 pennant winnirtg club.;
Manager Billy Southwdrth of
the Braves has been most- effec
tive in reviving the drooping
spirits of players whose play has
fallen off with other clubs I
Reiser will be 29 by the time
the next baseball season opens.
McCormick, 31, is a Veteran of
Cincinnati's fine teams , of the
early 1940'. A righthanded hitter,
he enjoyed his best season, ; .301
last year, while Reiser was having
his. worst. . . .'; j f,-I i
There was no mention; of the
name of the other Boston ' player
to be delivered to i the Dodgerg
later. , ! I '1 )
The meetings provided the most
trade action seen in many seasons.;
No lest than 23 big leaguers
changed hands in seven I trans
actions involving only major
league teams. i k s.
Well over a million .dollars
worth of ball players changed
hands according to the current
inflated prices of talent. I
