Newspaper Page TextLou Novikoff May Sign Contract With Club By Al Lightner Statesman Sports Editor Lou Novikoff, left field. Such may- be a common item with Salem Senators baseball followers next season, as the big slugger and the Solon manage ment are currently in the process of getting together lor the possible signing of a contract. Approached by Dewey Soriano few weeks ago when Soriano was acting as representative of the club, Novikoff "telephoned The Statesman from hs Los Angeles home late in the week and report ed that he was "well pleased with the offer made me by Dewey," and looked forward to playing the 1951 season in the Senators out field. Word of NovikofTs call was ?assed along to both Soriano in akima and Senators General Manager. Hugh Luby in Oakland, Cal. Board of Directors President Don Young also was well pleased with the possibility that one of Hasphall's more colorful fizures might sport Solon spangles next summer. The terms offered Novi koff by Soriano were not an nounced. Now a truck driver in Los Angeles, Novikoff added that he was in tip-top shape. He played with both Yakima and Victoria most of last (Continued on next page) EAGLES END TACOMA JINX TACOMA, Jan. 20 -JP)- It took more than two years but the Port land Eagles finally managed- to win a Pacific Ctast hockey league game on Tacoma ice here tonight. Portland's Bill Summerhill bang ed in a third period goal and that was enough to give the Eagles narrow 2-1 victory over the slumping Tacoma Rockets, who now have lost three in a row. eamcats Young Eddie Kahut isn't doing any pay-for-phnch boxing these days, but he's still in close touch with the game. He's instructor for Director Eymard Berning's Mt. Angel Youth Recreation program, and on Wednesday nights teaches the kids the manly art of self defense . . . Reaction to the signing of Bill Beard by the Senators has met with naught but a rousing okeh from village baseball natives, as Blond Bill has many friends here. Besides, he'll make a good catch er for H. Luby & Co. . . . Boss Lnby will be interested in this bit of info also: Salem resident Glenn Stetter who led the WIL in hitting last season for Spokane has nixed his contract terms with the In dians for '51. Mrs. Stetter is ill here, and Glenn says he would play for Salem for less money than he has been offered at Spo kane if the Senators could latch onto his contract. Which may be hard to do inasmuch as the "Jeep" is annually one of the most re spected batsmen in the circuit . . . We cannot print the details of it here, but can say that the deal board of directors and the Sport- B1LL K"1 service (Jacobs Bros.) concessionaires is one that the stockholders will like ... His friends might like to know that tall Rod Province, onetime Salem high and American Legion junior ball pitcher is now attached to Co. D, 1st Infantry, 6th Division, Ford Ord, CaL . . . When we told Lou (Mad Russian) Novikoff in our telephone con versation with him the other day that the Waters field left and center field fences were to be moved considerably nearer home plate, the rotund slugger gave with, "Ah, that's what I like to hear." Lou also realizes the value of the home-produced round tripper to a baseball audience, and is just the fellow who can produce 'em. Of course Lou hasn't yet been signed by the Salems. But it's a fair bet that he will be . . . Also on the speculative side for H. Luby's upcoming crew are a few other names that have been linked with the club lately. What would you think of a lineup consisting of Bill Beard as catcher, Georre McDonald (veteran coast leaguer) at first base, Luby at second base, Pete Coscarart (two years ago ia the majors) at shortstop, Johnny Hack (purchased from Victoria) at third and Novikoff and Mel (Ham bone) Wasley in the outfield? Going at Lining Up Club the Smart Way An "old man's" ball club you say? Righto. But if you were given the responsibility of lining up a Class B ball club next season that will win in the WIL, what would you do? You certainly wouldn't depend upon young players this time. Not with the international situation In the fix it's in. You'd be foolish if you did. And so it is with Luby. He's going at it the smart way trying to land players who won't be snatched by you-know-who in midseason or sooner, therein wreck ing the club. And In trying to get the older journeymen, Hugh wants only those he knows will put forth a best effort at all times. He realizes full well his responsibility here. What about the other clubs? Looking back even to last sea son, there were many "oldtimers" in the league then. There will be more this time as the clubs shy away from the draft-eligible youngsters and ro after their personnel on the same basis that Luby is going after his . . . Might also add the name Will Hafey to that list of Senator (Continued on next page) fOLLXGK wuUaaett 15, Pacific ST WUlaaaetM rrosa S3, raeifU Ft is , OrM tt J4ah u , Wash.

By Tom Yates The Willamette Bearcats, play ing a beautiful defensive game, completely confused the Pacific Badgers and beat them handily last night, 55 to 37. The Cat win gave the local forces the season's verdict over the Badgers, two games to one, to the immense pleasure of a large crowd at the State street gym. Coach John Lewis had his Bear cats playing a zone defense that drove the visitors wild. The Bad gers were unable to figure a way to. crack the 'Cat formation so they could get some shots. By halftime Willamette had built up a 22 to 13 lead "and the visitors were unable to threaten the bulge in the second half. Action was so slow in the first half that Sfter ten minutes of play when Lou Scrivens sank a 30 foot er the locals led by but a single point, 10 to 9. However, with guard Dan Montag leading the way Willamette moved out into its in termission lead. The second half was much more active, with the Willamette fast break piling up points faster than the Badger long shot artists could pour them through. Larry Smith and Ted Loder led the 'Cat attack in the latter stages of the game as they consistanly broke away for buckets. Smith scored 12 and Loder 9 in the second half. For the game. Smith led the scoring pa rade with 15, while Loder had 13. Montag was close behind the lead ers with 12 counters, nine of which came in the first half. The Willamette defense had the Badgers so baffled that they failed to score a single field goal over a stretch of 19 minutes. Dick Young scored on a hook shot after seven minutes of play, and it wasn't until six minutes into the second half that Ed Ball put in a follow shot to break the visitors long drought of field goals. If it hadn't been for Pacific's phenominal free throw shooting they would have been beaten even worse. The Badgers hit H of 13 gift shots awarded them. The Bearcats did pretty well themsel ves, hitting 15 of 22. It was the field shooting where Willamette shown. They sank 20 of .the 42 shots they took for a sen sational .476 average. The Badgers were able to connect on but 13 of 48 field shots, for .283. Montag did a great job at the starting guard spot, steadying the defense, and scoring In the clutch. Last night was Dan's first crack at a starting position, but off of his fine performance it shouldn't be bis last. In the prelim the Bearkittens also took the rubber game from the Pacific Fresh, 53 to 48. Clint Agee of Pacific led the scoring parade with 17. Duane Shields was high tat W.U. With 12.

Commissioner Bert Bell said the meeting of club own ers would resume tomorrow morn ing. Bell declined to say what caus ed the deadlock in the talks, but presumably it was the Insistence by Owner-Coach George Halas to shift his Chicago Bears from the National to American, division. Reportedly nine of the 12 own ers were In favor of retaining the 1950 divisional lineup which was as follows: American conference (Eastern division) Cards, Cleveland, New York Giants, Philadelphia, Pitts burgh and Washington. National conference (Western division) Bears, Detroit, Green Bay, Los Angeles, Yanks and San Francisco. Baltimore's Colts, which drop ped out of the league last Thurs day, was the loop's 13th and "Swing" club. Now the 12 -club circuit can be evenly divided into six-club divisions which also could be true geographical lineups. The latter would require only the swapping of divisions by the Yanks from the National Into the American, and the Cards from the American into the National. However, Owner-Coach George Halas would like to move his Bears to the American conference, skipping the long haul to play Los Angeles and San Francisco. Other National clubs, though, point out it's just as long for them, too. Further complicating the re alignment is the preference by the Cardinals to remain in the Amer ican, or eastern section. Clubs like the Detroit Lions and Green Bay packers would howl if the Bears moved into the other section, depriving of them of two games per season with the gate appealing warriors of Halas. A visiting club at Wrigley field taps the Bear till for about $42,000 per shot. Coyotes Lead NW Hoop Race WALLA WALLA, Jan. 20 -JF) College of Idaho overwhelmed a ragged Whitman college basket ball team, 59-32, here tonight to take over first place in the North west conference standings. The taller Coyotes coasted along at an easy pace as the Mission aries missed in the first half to get a 25-14 lead at the intermis sion and then froze out the home club with an effective zone de fense in the second period. Lloyd Neville, the scoring lead er of the conference had a cold night but feeding by his mates gave him six field goals in the second half to run his scoring total to 17, making his four-game to tal 80.

Washington had a. 17-point, 45 28, lead early in the second half but it melted away before the hot shooting Cougar platoons who looked hopelessly lost in the first period. Rosser's hook shot finally broke a tie with 40 seconds to play and the capacity crowd of 5600 pop eyed fans went wild. Just before the gun, Eric Roberts was fouled and he dropped in another WSC point with the spectators crowded around the free throw line. Washington State's tremendous surge in the second half was al most unbelievable. The Cougars played poorly in the first half and Washington's race horse system clicked well enough to give the Huskies a 37-25 intermission spread. WASH. ST.
