Canby Outfit
Woodburn, Silverton
Also Set Home Games
The Willamette Valley League
basketball chase reaches the half
. way point tonight when the eight
member schools participate in four
Sames, the seventh round of ae
on. The Dallas Drags, currently
S- aring the league lead with the
olalla Indians draw the easiest
assignment of the lot, for Gordy
Kunke's surprising Polk County
crew takes on the last-place Canby
Cougars at Dallas. Canby shares
the league basement with Mt.
Angel, both having one win against
five losses. Dallas has won five,
lost one to keep abreast the pre
season favored Molalla quint
Budd Gronquist's Molalla club
has its work cut out for itself, for
the Indians play second place
Wood burn at Woodburn. Mush
Barbour's Bulldogs have won four
of their first six.
Silvertoa Flays Sandy

and owns a 3-3 record to date.
Silverton has won two, lost three.
The fourth game sends the Mt.
Angel Preps, fresh from upsetting
Silverton last week, to Estacada
to play the Rangers. Estacada has
won two, lost three, and Truman
Osburn's team is a tough one when
flaying at home. Gene Barrett's
reps now feel that they've found
the range after beating Silverton
and expect to be a winner from
here in.
Incomplete scoring statistics for
thr league show that Don Meyers
of Sandy is out in front after six
games with 114 points, an average
of 19 per contest. In second place
with 82 points in five games is
Molalla's Dave Hagen. Herb Bran-
dli of Dallas has 72 points in six

Lou Boudreau plans to emphasize
youth come spring.
"Well go for youth as long as
we can win," Boudreau told a

about 24 hours after Charlie
Grimm announced similar plans
for the Boston Braves in the 1953
National League campaign.
"This is the first time I've ever
been with ball club with which
young pitchers have such a chance
to come in and win starting
berths," said Boudreau who, like

and George Kell at third. White.

"I dont remember any player
developing as fast as Sammy and
right now I wouldn't trade bim
for any catcher, including (Yogi)
Berra (of the New York Yankees.)
I think he will be a second (Bill)
Dickey (of the Yankees), a right
handed Dickey."

House Given
Hunting Bill
A bill to allow the Oregon gov
ernor to set the dates of elk and
deer hunting seasons will be in
troduced soon by Rep. Loran
Stewart, Cottage Grove lumber
man.
Seasons now are set by the
State Game Commission. The gov
ernor has only the power to close
forests to all entry when there
are fire hazards.
When there are forest fire haz
ards when the hunting seasons are
about to open, there generally is
disagreement between the game
commission and the governor
Last year the governor closed
Western Oregon forests, leaving
Eastern Oregon open. This caus
ed 'an unusually large number of
hunters to go to Eastern Oregon.

Negotiations
For 49ers Cut
By Owners
SAN FRANCISCO UT Negoti
ations with a Cleveland syndicate
for purchase of the San Francisco
49ers pro football club were brok
en off Monday by Anthony J. Mo-
rabito, co-owner of the National
League club.
He wired toe Cleveland group
that "the 49ers are no longer in
terested in continuing negotiations
under any circumstances."
His telegram was addressed to
Nate Dolin, vice president of the
Cleveland Indians Baseball team,
and one of the three agents who
came to San Francisco last week
as potential buyers.
The other two were Abe Saper
stein, owner of the Harlem Globe
Trotters and Fraklin Lewis, Cleve
land sports editor. The three said
they -spoke for an unidentified
group of prospective buyers.
Morabito gave no hint of a rea
son for breaking off relations
which he said had been "one of
the most attractive offers the 49ers
had received since the franchise
was put up for sale In mid-December."
Morabito's asking price is be
lieved to be at least $400,000.

Mays Could
Make Giants
Team to Beat
NEW YORK C If centerfield
er Willie Mays obtains his Army
discharge before the start of the
baseball season, the New York
Giants will be the team to beat
for the 1953 baseball season. Man
ager Leo Durocher said Monday.
"Willlie is the key to our pen
nant chances," Durocher told re
porters as he relaxed in the Gi
ants' offices. "So much depends
upon him. For instance, with
Willie back. I could send Bobby
Thomson to third, switch Alvin
Dark to second and give this kid.
Daryl Spencer a shot at short
stop."
Durocher said he was greatly
impressed by Spencer's play in
his brief trial with the Giants last
September. Spencer, a 23-year-old.
powerfully bunt six-footer, batted
.294 in his one-week tenure at the
Polo Grounds, the same batting
average he built up at Minneapo
lis.
Spencer impressed with his 27
home runs, his finesse in the field
and also showed a powerful arm
that Durocher said reminded him
of Glenn Wright.
In Birmingham, Ala., where
Mays is on a furlough, the Negro
star said he had not received any
answer regarding his request for
discharge because of hardship.
Mays claims to be the sole sup
port of 12 dependents.
"They didn't tell me how long
it would take before something is
done on my request." he said. "I
have no idea whether they will
let me out."
