8 The Ctolfsmcm. Salem. Oregon. Tuesday MdrcA 10. 1853 n nan win V7 DU aS - ' This that et ; ' ..' Another strong candidate for the Woodburn High football coach r. KortH i. r Tifftr Rnrnott. onetime Willamette ITer who re signed at West Linn. Jiggs would know the ropes at Woodburn, lor he coached there a number of seasons before moving to West Linn i. . . First Oregon auto racing bee of the 53 season is due March 22 at Port land Speedway. It's to be a stock car program, and according to Ray Elliott, transplanted Salem gent who is now president" ef the Ore gon Stock Car Association, numer ous 1933 model buzz buggies are now owned by the various pilots and win be in action during the coming season ... Bed face dept: Even though the Anheuser-Busch beer folks have now purchased the St. Louis Cardinals, they'll not be able to sell their brew at Sports man's Park this year. A rival St. Louis suds concern, Griesedick, holds the ball park beer conces sion contract for 1953. That twist m j.i. V a A n outfit as. a bottle of Lucky Lager V""" would be with Steve Tabacchi . . . Bck W1"- Feeling as though the NAIA cage tournament is practically hand made for the Portland U Pilots, Bearcat mentor John Lewis is thinking of keeping; his WU outfits out of such playoffs entirely in the future. Not because WU can't seem to beat the Pilots. But because the NAIA amounts to an anti-climax to the Northwest Conference -race and be cause Portland U is now emphasizing the basketball sport much like Notre Dame dotes on f ootbaU. Post-season combat under such circum stances doesn't amount to much fun for the little guys . . . The annual Sports, Travel and Boat Show is now in the midst of its 10-day run at San Francisco, and one of the features of the pitch is, of all things, a lavender colored turkey sporting gold nail polish and a slave brace let! Yep, you guessed it the bird is being displayed by our old Ar mory pal Rassler Gorgeous George, who raises purple turkeys on his Beaumont, Cal., ranch . . . A free trout fishing pond for children Is also a part of the exposition, and do the kiddies go for that! . Netc Rules Change Haven't Helped Cage Sport : . ; . . : .--w,-,;. ;. - Basketball rules-makers Installed the ne-and-one and no-1 waive regulations this year as a means of cutting down fooling; and giving the trailing team a better chance at the end of a ball game. But from the looks of the statistics flowing out of the NC AA service bureau at New York, about all the new changes have - done it help mount the scoring.. There has been little change In the total' number of fouls during an average game, and trailing teams must still combat stalling tactics employed by those in the lead in the late stages of a game. ' Same statistics reveal that all of the'excess scoring this year has come from the free-throw line. The free throw average has jumped from the 31 per game of last year to 41 this year. Field goal averages are still about the same as a year ago. i : - V ' So it would seem that the cage sport Is still suffering from; b Illness that must be diagnosed and cured by the game's direc tors. There have been all sorts of "cures" submitted from over , the land cutting from five to three the number of fouls allowed one player, having said player stand on his head in a corner for five minutes if he makes more than three fouls, putting a lid over the basket when one team gets more than 19 points ahead, hav : Ing six-footers wear stilts to combat the seven-footers, etc. ' But coming to a pleasing conclusion isn't easy. The rules chiefs ; are trying, but they can't seem to please everybody. Basketball is the most kicked around sport in the rules book, with football next Thankfully enough, they're leaving baseball alone. One day they'll get around to satisfying all cage enthusiasts (they may have to hang all referees to do it), but the day is a long time coming. ConradcC Still Lost but Now in Mexico . - Before leaving for California Senators Generalissimo Luby found out that Connie Peres wasn't in his native Cuban homeland at all. But he might Just as well have been for all the good it's .. done Luby in trying to track down the little moon-faced ball ramer. Latest on Peres: He's somewhere In Mexico, in the Yuca tan area' presumably. At any rate Luby hopes they have calendars wherever Connie happens to be so that hell know IVs getting right close to spring training time. That Is, If Cuban Connie can read a calendar... , Think time isn't flying? It was 25 years ago this week that Smead Jolley, Earl Averill and Lefty ODoul checked into the San Francisco Seals spring training camp to form one of the greatest slugging out fields in the Coast League's history . . . W1L Prexy Bob Brown has hired oldtimer Amby Moran as a league umpire, an Item we mentioned could easily happen some time ago. Amblin Amby, the only gent In WIL history to clean out a 24tool beer hall single handed, was once the league's top - arbiter. The XXX stuff get him sacked. But he's now seen the light. Is in top shape and rarin' to go again ... Armory Mat Program . .
