Spartans Won Opener The Spartans, a TYV League power, scored the winning points in the final seconds of the hectic first game. Forward Ed Michel son dropping in the winning field goal. But the Vikings, a hustling, ball-hawking outfit against Springfield, feel they now have the combination for victory and are anxious to even the count with the Spartans , Hillsboro's big wheels are Mi chelson, Jack Edwards , and Jim Compton, who accounted for 37 points in the first game. Bob Hartrampt and Bill Pool round out the Hil-Hi starting lineup.

Gene Good to Leave KOCO for Hatcaii Job The rumor the Sportscaster Gene Good is to leave Station KOCO turns out to be much more than that, for he's leaving the station January 3. While In Honolulu with the Willamette U football team Gene lined himself up with what he considers a good job with a radio station there; and will go to work on sports announcing, etc., exactly two daya after leaving KOCO. Good checked in at KOCO over a year ago after Bruce Williams resigned to devote full time to his law practice. Since then Gene has done everything from disc Jockeying to broadcasting play-by-play accounts of Salem Senator baseball games, Willamette U and Salem High football and basketball clashes and doing parts in the studio's Warwick Radio Theater plays. Not many gents can visit the beautiful Hawaiian Islands and find good job there. Gene has accomplished it, much to the dismay of the local radio station. ... If it will help Boss H. Luby to land a home-run hitting out v fielder or first baseman for the town Senators next season. Valley Packing Co.'s Ted Chambers will again present a Cascade Ham to any Salem ball gamer authoring a home run at any time in the local ball yard. So if Luby can hook a good fence-buster, the lad will be able to pick up 30 or 40 of the hams during the course f the campaign. ... Glaring mistake made in one of last week's efforts when we told that the Silverton Silver Foxes had retired the First Lefty Wilder Totem Pole Trophy which is emblematic of the Willamette Valley League basketball jamboree championship. Wasn't Silverton at all, but Budd Granquist's Molalla Indians instead. They've won the "Jim" three straight years, have placed the original totem pole trophy In their showcase for keeps and have grabbed the first leg on the seeond trophy. We must've been thinking of our Christmas shopping woes when we blundered as we did. ... Note from Whitey Coker, former KOCO radiocaster now at tached to KWNW in Wenatchee tells that former Oregon State bas- keteer Jim Padgett is now special services officer at Larsen Air Force Base near the Apple City. . . . Johnny O Prove He a Great Team Player Most refreshing thing; about basketball whiz Johnny O'Brien to those who got their first look at him at Eugene against Oregon Saturday night is the fact that he's a great team player, not the "Lone Ranger" type who does little other than shoot with the rapidity of a machine gun. He never takes a long cast-off, and of the eight field goals he made against the Webfoots, seven were from almost directly beneath the basket. The other was a jump shot from the foul circle. Johnny O's passing from his post position set up numerous other two-pointers for his mates, and despite his 5-foot-9 stature ho was Often rebounding right along with the big boys in the UO mix, and doing a sizeable job of it. He's the greatest; "little" basketball player we've seen, which Is a repetition of a statement we made here about a year ago. And f nances are every one of the 8,000-plus spectators who watched him Saturday night and this would include the UO players also calcu late the same way. Viking Mentor Harold Hank, one of those present, made the post-game comment. "I Just wish every one of my hlgk school kids eoold have seen what a great team player be Is. I tboacht he'd bo an individualist, shooting every time he got the fcalL But pot him. He 'i Jut another member ef a good team and slari it thai way.- COLLEGE Willamette SS.

Lama WUTooMuch For Visitors Mase Leads Locals With 20-Point Night By JERKY STONE Statesman Sports Writer University of Alaska's Polar Bears found the sledding tough Monday night as a veritable bliz zard of Willamette Bearcat baskets buried the men from the Far North under a 95-50 score on the local floor. It was the second game of an eight-game barnstorming trip for the Alaskans, who are making the first stateside athletic invas ion of their history. Coach John Lewis Bearcats, in piling up their biggest point total of the young season, notched their second win against five setbacks. By the middle of the first quar ter, the Willamette showed they had too much speed and know how for the Polar Bears. At the initial buzzer It was-22-7 for the Methodists and at the intermis sion the locals sported a huge 50 20 margin. The count at the end of the third period was 73-33 for the WU hoopers. Reserves Used Lewis, leaning backward to keep the score down, cleaned his bench as early as the second quar ter, but that didn't deter the tor rid 'Cat scoring tempo to any great extent. Forwards Dick Mas and Dick Hoy were the kingpin hoop hitters for the winners with 20 and 15 points respectively, while little Wesley Eckert was the most proficient Alaskan with 17. Jerry Patterson, the 6-6 reserve center, totalled 12 for Willamette, mostly on tip-ins. Daryl Girod, the smooth guard, canned the first basket of the ball game within 15 seconds to jump the Bearcats to the fore. But Eckert came back to hit a gift shot and then a close-in field goal and the Polar Bears had their one and only lead of the Joust. Seconds later, Post Man Pete Reed, who played a fine game under the backboards, hooked one in to put Willamette ahead for keeps at 4-3. From there the score ballooned up to 14-3 before tha Alaskans were able to register again. T hat early field goal by Eckert was the only one the Northerners were able to hit in the entire initial period. Margin Upped Ahead by that 22-7 count at the first quarter's end, the 'Cats rocketed onward in the second chapter to establish the 50-20 half time advantage. Hoy hit six baskets to lead the first half on slaught and Mase and Patterson each chipped in with eight. In the second half, Mase, who also turned in a fine floor game, paced the assault with 12 mark ers. Eckert got 10 points in the final two periods as the visitors tried futilely to catch up. Willamette itself displayed rag gedness at times against the out classed foe, but also at times the Bearcats had their fast-break working impressively. For the night, Willamette canned 39 field goals, the Polar Bears hit 18. The WU crew hit 17 of 28 foul shots, Alaska got 14 out of 24. The Bearcats now rest until after Christmas when they go to Chico, Calif., for two games against Chico State on Deo. 27th and 29th. The Monday night contest also marked this season's Willamette observance of annual Kids Night. At the half two Junior Hi-Y teams put on an exhibition.

Big Dewey Soriano announced from Vancouver Friday he would take a turn on the pitching mound, as well as direct front office acti vities as the Capilanos' general manager. Two other general managers, Frank Dasso of Wenatchee and Bill Brenner, Lewiston, are also frequenters of the pitcher's hill. Brenner was a 21-game winner last season, while Dasso has one of those "dubious records" ball players' like to refer to. Frank set a WIL record for losses, dropping 25 games. He won 8 games. 'Hard Luck Pitcher' Dasso gained the "hard luck pitcher" honors for the season, 14 of the defeats coming by a margin of one or two runs. Soriano holds a loop record of his own, his 14-2 mark set with Yakima in 1949 being tops in the league's all-time winning percent age column.

Williamson predicted that if Monday's bright weather contin ues, the Badgers figure to go into the New Year's Day game in per haps the best shape of the season. Wisconsin definitely knows it has a huge task ahead, Williamson said. Too Much Hospitality Hill, in humorous fashion, said the Coast Conference teams "have been more than hospitable" to the Big Ten representatives in the past six New Year s Day games. Socially, this is all right, but Hill said the policy must be termi nated in the coming game itself, "We are looking forward to meeting this fine Wisconsin team.

That is the extent of "practice' ine cieveiana Browns nave en gaged in so far for the pro cham pionship football game Sunday with the Detroit Lions. Contrary to what some may think, this is rather common in pro football circles. They don't kill each other between games.. Coach Paul Browri, for instance., never holds scrimr. ages too much of a chance for injuries. Iast week, the Browns didn't have any game coming up, and didn't know whether their Sunday opponents would be the Lions or the Los Angeles Rams. So they split up into groups and played touch losers buy the milk shakes just to warm up. Lions Rest, too There weren't any workouts In Detroit, either. Coach Buddy Parkt er met with his team Monday and went over the week's plans. That was all. Starting Tuesday, the Browns will hold classroom exercises on offensive and defensive plays, then run through them on the practice field. Brown talked cautiously when he was asked to pick the winner. He would say only: "I still say the Detroit Lions have outstanding personnel. They were i Irritated when I said that before, but that's the way I feel. They beat us the last time, you know."
