Salem Senators, a gigantic affair attended by 760 citizens, will be
PETE McCAFFERY
1952 season rolls forth in the new Bush Pasture arena . . . We write
of the new softball field as being a certainty, for we feel that Salem
won't fail in the current drive to raise the $3,500 necessary to install
lights. After all, this is a progressive city and not one loaded with
skinflints and tightwads who would sit by and see a good thing go to
pot. We hope . . . Consensus of opinion last winter was that Slats Gill's
Oregon Staters would have been mighty tough basketball hombres to
handle had they only possessed "a good big man." He's a trifle late for
last season, but the Beavers now have him in Tony Vlastelica the 6-6
whizbang from Aberdeen. He chose Oregon State over at least 40 other
"invitations" and should amount to the best thing that's happened to
Gill since Red Rocha blew in from Hawaii some years ago, . . .
Amateurs Coming Back, After Boston Shotc
Amateur boxing; enthusiasts waitinr for the next Cherrians
card at the Armory will have to wait until the National AAU
championships are over later this month in Boston. A good many
of the talented glovesters of the Northwest are to biff in Boston,
and the sponsoring Cherrians want to wait until they return be
fore installing the next local show . . .
Timely gag went askew at the Armory the other night when the
announcer refused to page one Ray Smith "for a telephone call from
Tokyo." Ray would have bit his cigar smack in two had the pee-ay
gent gone along with the rib .. . Speaking of Armory visitors, Rassler
Eric Pedersen may or may not be the world's strongest and best built
matador as he says he is. But he does have a blue ribbon cauliflower
ear, easily one of the best in captivity. Didn't get it from answering
telephone calls either ...
Seattle's Jim Rivera and Hollywood's George Schmees grew fat
and famous on Coast League pitching last season, but in spring camp
clashes for the St. Louis Browns Rivera is batting barely over the
.200 mark and Schmees, whoonce played for Spokane in the WIL,
Isn't anywhere near that strictly 4-F level.
Vik Should Have a Powerful Ball Team
Keep an eye on Harold Hank's Viking baseball varsity, for it
may be one of the best Salem High teams he's ever had. The
squad is loaded with the same capables who last Fall showed so
well for Vince Genna's Capital Posters in the State Legion tour
ney, and the confidence and experience they gained in that playoff
will be of much value to them now. The team has pitching depth,
catching, good defense and plenty of power what with lads like
Lowell Pearce, Ron Whittaker, Steve Merchant, Don Garren, "Red"
Winters, Phil Jantre, Jim Rice, Jimmy Brown, Chuck Puhlman,
Rod Hales, Bill Nelson and Don Burk around . . .
Mike Carty gave Salem and surrounding points the best auto rac
ing season in history last summer, and is set to go again at Holly
wood Bowl next Sunday with the popular stock cars. Mike has great
plans for the coming semester and is again working hand in hand with
the major motor racing interests in Oregon and Washington. Stocks,
hot rods, hard tops and midgets are to show here on a weekly basis,
with the meets changing from Sunday afternoon to Saturday night
appearances when the weather becomes a bit warmer.
A new twist will be added later on also, same being "Auto
Polo," a smash-'em, crack-'em gem designed after the regular polo
sport played on horses. Specially constructed cars, made to roll
over with the utmost of ease, are to be used in auto polo, and
specialized teams will make with the motored mayhem not on the
track but on the Hollywood Bowl infield.
Looks like plenty of thrills for sure.

"Well have at least 22 cars for

the one planned for the 29th of

Earn Wins in Feature Events
By JERRY STONE
Sports Writer, The Statesman
A host of new records 27 in all were established Saturday aa
the second edition of the huge, colorful and action-packed Willamette
Relays was presented at McCulloch Stadium under perfect weather '
conditions and before a completely full house.
The Relays provided opportunity for 1700 athletes from 60 Ore
gon high schools and 16 colleges to get their first real taste of 195S
action and that there was real talent among 'em was clearly indicated -in
the wholesale mayhem committed on marks set at the inaugural
show last year.
One of the records which went down was the 9.8 collegiate invita
tional century dash, made by Oregon State's Merv Brock in 51. Th
new king is that University of Oregon speed merchant. Bill Fell, who
maneuvered the distance in a snappy 9.7 Saturday, beating out Brock '
by a couple of steps.
In another top feature of the afternoon, the collegiate invitational
high hurdles, Don Chambers of Oregon State, hit a 15.1 time to better
the 15.4 made by Willamette's Ted Mertz last year.
As was expected, Oregon State's Lyle Dickey bettered his senior
pole vault mark of '5 as he soared 13 feet, 6H inches, much above
the former record of 13 feet flat. m
Oregon's Chuck Missfeldt, one of the featured performers Satur- -
I day, didn't have much luck in the javelin. He won the senior event but
! his best toss of 205 feet, 5 inches was far under the 225'114" heave
! with which he startled the fans last season.
Dallas Ace Tops Mark
! Among the top performances in the prep division which cracked ;
1 previous marks was DeShon's 15.6 for Dallas as he captured one of 1
tiie 12 heat runs in the prep high hurdles, the old standard being 15.8
by Olson of Beaverton. F. Hall of Prineville chalked a new record '
in his heat of the prep 440 with a 52.6. The shattered mark was 54.9
by Reisch of Molalla. Hall had himself a banner day, incidentally. He f
also set a new mark in the high century event, running the sprint In i "
10.4 as compared to the 1951 record of 10.5 by Hinton of Corvallis.
Another lad to establish two new marks was Pedigo of Hermiston.
He broadjumped 21'1" to better the previous figure of 20'1 by Higdoa
