They've not reached the point of stampeding or staging a down
town demonstration, but it seems that many of the baseball minded
natives are wondering how come the shyness of news on the town
Senators of late. The appearance of spring camp doings by the majors
and Coast leaguers, plus the fact that said natives now own their own
ball club here, is unquestionably
the reason for the query.
: .But let us '.not. be impatient.
Actually it isn't yet time for a load
' of ' news on the club. Must - re
' member - that even though the
majors and PCL'ers are now hard
at tuning Tip chores, most of the
smaller outfits haven't yet signed
their rosters for- 1951. Spring
training. for them doesn't start un
til the end of the month or .the
first part of April. In the case of
our local dandies, as Sportscaster
Bruce Williams dubs 'em, they'll
not swarm into Napa, CaL, until
March 31.
Some folks feel that inasmuch
as not too much news on the
Senators has hit the papers in re
cent days, there can't be too many
players on the roster to write
about Tain't so. Actually the
Solons have 15 men now in the
process of being signed, or wait
ing for March 31 after having already signed. And there is certain to
be many more by the time Gen.
at NaDa. Just sive him time.
Taking the 15 one by one, Luby himself is all set to play second
base. George McDonald has signed and is the first sacker. Johnny
Hack, purchased from Victoria, has reported that he will be present
t Napa to take the third base jobi Glenn Tuckett, secured from Salt
Lake City in the Bob Cherry deal, could be the shortstop if Luby
doesn't come up with a better one. Wally Yonamine, also in on fine
Cherry swap,' is one of the outfielders and although ne nasn't fyet
signed, the club expects no trouble getting Mel (Hambone) Wasley
into the fold. This would leave one hole in the outer garden, and
the club does have title to Ludwig Lew, Bill Spaeter, Pete Tedeschi
and Hal Zurcher, every one of whom have been sent contracts. Then
too, there is Bob Goldstein the first baseman who played for the club
- last season. He has been contacted also.
Mot EfforlM Being Spent on Hurling Staff
Bill Beard has okehed termsiand will In all probability be the
, No. 1 catcher. Another Is needed, and La by is looking. As for
pitching, a most Important item, most of Lnby's current labors are
directed to this department. So far be has Bill Bevens signed and
expects no trouble documenting both Jerry Barta, 10-rame winner
for Amarillo last year and Jack Hemphill who won 14 for Pitts
burgh, CaL If waivers from ether leaf ne members can be secured
- on Beanpole Bob Costello, he'll be back also. Rest assured that
Luby will in some way or another come up with the additional
bnrlers be needs. f
Al Drew isn't mentioned, as he has been given his outright
release. So has Earl Woodson, the negro pitcher. The club has no

Eagles Downed
Salem Faces Silverton '
In Ionclay Eve Clash
By Tom . Yates
The Salem Vikines and the
Silverton emerged from last
night's play at the Viking Villa
as the only undefeated teams; in
this year's District Eleven tourn
ament. Silverton trounced the
game, but outclassed North Mar
ion Huskies. 62 to 35. while the
Viks closed out the evening's en
tertainment for a screaming
crowd of rooters with a 54 to 32
defeat of Stayton's Eagles. sH
- Monday night the Foxes will
mix it up with Salem in the $ :15
p.m. game, following the Sacred
Heart Academy vs. Mount Angel
tussle at 7:00. The tournament is
being played on a double elimina
tion basis, so last night's losers
still stand a chance to gain the
finals. The Eagles and Huskies are
slated to meet on Tuesday night.
All tournament action is sched
uled for the Salem high floor.
.In last night's opener the Hus
kies were no match for the taller
Silverton squad. North Marion
held but one lead in the entire
contest, 4 to 2. ..(!
Gary Gustafson started the
Foxes off with a bang as he drove
in for a layup after taking the
opening tipoff, but the North
Marions were bothered not a ' bit
and went right to work. Ron Bar
endse rang true on a left handed
pivot shot, and a' few moments
later Bill McClarin pushed home
a rebound, and the crowd favor
ite Huskies were in the lead.
Silverton was not to be denied,
however, and with Gustafson
again scoring, the count was tied
at four all. Then, with big Jim
Cooper leading the way the Foxes
forged into a 13 to 6 lead at the
end of the first quarter. By the
end of the half Coach Milt Baum's
squad had upped their margin to
15 points at 31 to 16, and for the
rest of the encounter they pretty
well maintained their 2 to 1 ad
vantage. Cooper was a ball of fire, both
on the boards and in the scoring
column. Big Jim poured home 27
points to take over the tourna
ment top spot in single game "ef
forts to date. In scoring 9 goals
and 9 free throws he racked slip
15 points in the first half.
Gustafson and Gaylen Stolten
berg each accounted for 12 points
for the Foxes, while Barendse
was high for North Marion with
9 .
The Salem-Stayton mix would
have been more apDronriately
billed as a football match, as no
less than 61 fouls were called
against the ball hawking quints.
Both teams were charging ithe
ball hard, and the action often
found more men on the floor
prone than standing.
The Viks really had a fight on
their hands, until' late in the third
period, when, with the Eagles but
three points behind at 32 toj 29,
they really opened up and but
scored the Staytons 22 to 3 1 for
the rest of the game. The final
quarter saw Stayton score but One
point while, the Vikings were tal
lying 17.
The quarter scores were all in
favor . of Coach Harold Hauk's
forces, 13 to 5, 28 to 18, and 37
to 31. Stayton slowly crept up on
the Viks at the outset of the sec
ond half and after five minutes
of plajr had cut the point differ
ential to three on Gene Small's
jump shot It was then that : Sa
lem caught fire and pulled away.
Larry Paulus was top scorer
with IS points. Stayton's Leroy
Shower was next with 9.

funnirig game, Washington legged
to a 32-20 balftime margin be- i
fore a crowd of 10,700. The item- i
perabjre in the big Edmuhdson l

last night when the Huskies post-
ed their first victory of the series,1
a frigid 70-51 verdict .1 '
! The decision sends Washington
into the western regionals of the!
national collegiate athletic jasso-1
elation at Kansas City March 21,
23 and 24. . . j .
' Where UCLA last night had pil--ed
up an early lead and forced i
a desperate rally by the Huskies,?
tonight Washington turned on the

never looked back. Captain La
Don Henson dunked .a re!ound
to give Washington the first tally,'
and Grover Luchsinger hit a' hock:
frn the corner to tie It up for.

let up for - even a quick breath,
through ; the second half and the
scoring tempo Increased. Within
three minutes Washington had
spread the margin to 20 points at
40-20, and late in the game led
by 24 at 68-44. j
Two yclans who had been too
ill with "flu" to play last night--Capt

Art Alper started tonight and
Sheldrake went most of thd way.
Coach John Wooden held hfs star
sophomore forward, Dick iRidg-

in the . rebounding, the - Huskies
picking ! the ball of the boards
50 times to UCLA's 30. It made
the Bruins cautious about taking
shooting chances. j '

coma Rockets pleased a crowd, of
about 2,500 tonight by clinching
a place in the Pacific Coast hockey
league playoffs with a 5-2 victory

'i At the same time the lQsa cost
Seattle its last slim chance of mak
ing the postseason scramble. The
Ironmen, with 67 points, were left
eight points back of fourth-place"
Portland. Even should they win
their lour remaining gamm while
Portland loses its four, tiiq Eagltl
would get the playoff berth for
having the greater numbers of vic
tories. . I
