Hauk and his Astoria in the state tournament in nvthlni? resembline Salem since the series was canceled this season and . . . 11L now consider me iiui ana u ooys as their foremost athletic enemies. We have this from no less than Wally Palm berg himself, who had many successful campaigns as As toria cage boss and whose personal coaching duels with Hauk long will be remembered. Now in the construction business in the coast al city, Palmberg tells us the As torians feel that Salem cold-shouldered them this season and looks upon Fisherman basketball as be ing so inferi6r to Salem's that the Finns were knocked from the Vik schedule. . . . And in looking over the state tourney setup for March, the Viks and Fishermen may get together in the very first round. . . . Salem Senator baseball follow ers are happy to know that KOCO will again air the ball games the coming season, with Bruce Wil liams handling the play-by-play for both home and road games. The policy adopted by the Senat or's board and Gen. Mgr. Hugh ing is one that will have all games, BRLCE WILLIAMS In entirety, word-pictured into your front rooms. You can of course thank the board, Luby, KOCO and Williams by attending as many home games as possible in person. . . . Those who know a bit about the intricacies of baseball regulations, etc., and who may have wonder ed how the Salems again latched onto Bill Beard after releasing him outright at the end of last season (a procedure generally not allowed by baseball law), may like to know the Bill comes back to us with Bnrial nprmissinn of minor leaeue baseball Czar George Trautman himself. Trautman was told of the transaction involving the switching of the Senators from Portland to local ownership, and ruled that the re-signing of Beard in this particular instance was okeh. ... WIL Eyes 'Major League9 Travel Plant The WIL may go considerably major league in the matter of transportation the coming season. What with bus lines rates scheduled to rise and railroad connections between the league cities being bad insofar as the playing schedule is concerned, the deal offered to the circuit by the United Air Lines recently appears enticing. UAL. has offered the clubs a rate of SI per flying mile (as the crow flies, you might say), and the league directors seem to look with much favor upon it . . . Letter from "A Salem Senator Stockholder who wishes not to be identified complains that he would like to see the club management sign young players instead of the older ones being mentioned prom inently of late. Truthfully, so would we. But from a sensible stand point it is now far better to load up with the older gents who might not be called into GI service as fast as the younger fellows. The Senator's board and boss Luby want a young, hustling ball club bIso. But what one wants and what hegets these days are oft vastly dif ferent items. . . . Being one of the conference officials, we aren't allowed to make public our opinion of what goes on in PCC basketball play. But we don't believe we are breaking any rule or divulging any secret in attesting to the fact that John Warren's Oregon Webfoots have now (Continued on next page) Kiser, Pedersen in Special Mix .

Leo (Pile Driver) Wallick and Rowdy tlufus Jones, the negro head blast er are to collide in the grudge mix that could develop into a real whoopdedoo. Tremaine goes gainst Tony Verdi, newcomer from Calgary. Both scraps carry the main event label and will be 2-of-3 fallers limited to 45 min utes. Owen's supporting card is on the promising side also. Jack (Tiger) Kiser and Eric (Apollo) Pedersen, both constructed along the lines of an Atlas, go a tilt in the special sortie. And since both re quick-hitting scientific?, a fast match should be forthcoming. Bulldog Clements, onetime prot ege of Bulldog Jackson, and when last seen in these parts just as ornery as the Ol' Bulldog himself, returns for the 8:30 o'clock cur tainraiser chores.

The tilt is tabbed for an 8:15 o'clock takeoff, shortly after Coach Loren Mort's Viking Jay vees see if they can gallop their own victory string to 22 in a row. The Jayvees play the Lebanon seconds in the 6:45 o'clock prelim. The Warrior varsity, bossed by the veteran Bud Page, has lost only two games this season. One of these was to Salem at Lebanon last week by a 53-38 count. And although that margin would have the Warriors an insignificant club alongside Hauk's huskies, they aren't nearly that bad. The War riors play a fast brand of basket ball, and when clicking can make it plenty rough on any prep comp etition in the state. The Vikings had all the battle they wanted during the first half of the game last week at Lebanon. Salem's starting lineup of Larry Baggett, Bob Hazel, Larry Paulus, Larry Chamberlain and Elmer Haugen will have a height ad vantage over the squad Page can put on the floor. Page's tallest op erator is 6-3 center Wayne Holzfus who also is top pointmaker for the Warriors. He got 13 in the first game. Others in the Warrior starting lineup, with heights, are Bob Hin man 5-9, Tom Summers 5-10, Bill Baker 6-1 and John Siolzig 5-9.
