The Vikings, controlling the boards over their shorter opponents, led all the way. Quarterly scores were 17-8, 28-22 and 40-30, North Bend was able to keep pace only in the second quarter with Salem, when the Viking reg ulars were out of the game. Forward Bob Hazel with 19 points and Guard Chuck Bales with 15 were the big guns for the Salem quint. Center Jack Bishop had 11 markers. Forward Les Swain potted 15 points for the Bulldogs. Larry Paulus, regular Salem forward, was injured early in the first quarter and was forced to leave the game. The back injury was not believed too serious, how ever, and Paulus may be kept out of Friday night's second game as a precautionary measure. The North Benders used a zone defense on the Vikings, but it proved of little value. Hazel, Bal es and Bishop continued to pepper the basket with shots and alto gether the Vikings wound up with a nifty .350 shooting percentage on 28 goals in 80 tries. North Bend had but 15 field hits for a .250 percentage. Salem's rebounding stood out in the final compilations also. The Vikings cleared the ball 51 times to only 29 for North Bend. The victory was the fourth of the season for Salem, against three setbacks. The Viking J a y v e e s did not make the trip for the series with the Bulldogs.
