Lou 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

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

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.

Bears' Owner
Wants Switch
But Majority Favor
Keeping '50 Setup
CHICAGO, Jan. 20-0P-The Na
tional Football league adjourned
tonight after six futile hours of
discussing a proposed re - align
ment of its American and Nation
al divisions. 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.

Cougars Again
Drop Huskies
PULLMAN, Wash., Jan. 2MV
A rousing rally, capped by George
Rosser's last minute basket,
brought Washington State a 63 to
60 basketball victory over Wash
ington tonight and first place in
the northern division of the Pa
cific Coast conference.
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.

the cellar and moved Oregon into
a deadlock with Oregon Stat and
Washington, Just one game behind
the leading Washington1 State'
team. '1
Again it was httle Jack Keller
who saved the day for Oregon,
His long shot netted Oregon a last
minute win last night, 60-56, and
he came through right when Ore
gon needed him most tonight
Idaho trailed by 14 points mid '
way through the final half, but
hit a phenomenal shooting streak
that cut the margin to 54-52 with
five minutes remaining. That wag
when Keller stopped the upsurge.
First he dropped In a free throw,
then he added a field goal to
make It 57-52, and the enhearten
ed Oregons were able to coast the
rest of the way, controlling the
ball and picking up additional
pom ts on free throws.
His counterpart for Idaho, little
Dick Reed, was the driving force
in the Idaho surge. Idaho trailed
28-21 at the half and 47-33 witU
only 10 minutes to go. Then Idaho
hit five straight shots, three of
them by Reed, to cut the gap to
two points.
Reed emerged with 14 points,
high for the losers. Forward Curt
Barclay had 17 for Oregon, fol
lowed by Bob Peterson with 12
