"We don't want to, deny any

not have their tickets get them as
soon as possible."
If necessary, standing room
tickets will: be sold Saturday

all seats are gone by that time.
' Meanwhile the Vikings went
through another workout
Wednesday, sharpening their pass
defense. The Rams have reputed
ly the top prep passer in the state
in Vince Altenhofen, and his ac
curate aerials are to te reckoned
with. It was a 60-yard pass play
by Benson Tech which paved the
way for the touchdown against
Salem last week in the, quarter-finals
tilt with the Techmen.
The Catholics also have a dis
tinct all-the-way running threat
in George Kane, 158-pound half
back. Coach Lee Gustafson of the Sa
lems continues to worry over one
major item concerning the game
that being the fact that Central
Catholic has yielded only two
touchdowns all season in nine
games. The TDs were scored by
Tillamook in a 52-6 rout, and by
Hillsboro last week in the 26-7
Rams win over the Spartans.
Salem has scored at least two
touchdowns against every oppo
nent this season, and it was only
the powerful Albany and Corval
lis teams which were able to hold
the Viks to a pair. .-
But while Central Catholic has
scored at least three touchdowns
in every game, the Viking de
fense has not given up more than
two . in any one outing over the
route, with Albany and Eugene
being the only teams able to reg
ister mat mucn.
Central CathoHchas blanked
seven of its nine opponents while
Salem has administered the "0"
to only three of 10. Also,' the
Bams ha vent lost a game in two
seasons, winning the state title a
year ago. . '
"It wall be our toughest game
there's no doubt about that," is

The day of the playing minager
In, baseball seems to be drawing to
a. close. There was a lime when
several clubs would have1 ah out
standing star at the helm. Nowa
days it's a rarity.
, One of the truly great perform
ances of a player-manager took
place in 1948 when Lou Boudreau,
in his seventh season as pilot of
the Cleveland Indians, swatted a neat
.353 and blasted two post-season playoff
game homers to pace the Tribe to a
pennant and World's Series victory.
Just for curiosity, I got out all of my
record books, a carton of Chesterfields,
and spent the day compiling quite a sat
isfying list of player-managers of days
gone by.
I wonder if you remember that Leo.
I Durocher played his first five yean as
manager. .Never muco ox a nmer. ieo
batted a healthy .277 in 1S39. bis first
eaaon as a pilot. When bis Brooklyn
aggregation won a pennant in 1941, he
rapped .286 in 18 games.
Frankie Frisch played bis first four
yean at the helm of th Gashouse Gang
in St. Louis. The Flash took over in
1933 and batted .303. He walloped .305
in 1934 when he won a pennant and
World's Series. He hit .294 in 1933. .274
in 1936 and then retired after playing
in only 17 games as skipper in 1937.
Joe Cronin was an active star when
he became manager of Washington in
1933 and won a pennant. He remained
a player-manager until 1945 when he
participated in only three games. He
won one pennant and finished second
on four occasions. He won another pen
nant in IMS after his retirement from
Mickey Cochrane hit .320 and .31) his
first two farms as manager and swung
two pennants for Detroit. Ty Cobb had
some of his greatest seasons as a player
while manager of the Tigers from 1921
thitoogh 192C. A second-place finish
was the best he could do. . Jimmie
Dykes played from 1934 to 1999 while'
managing file White ox, bet conid do
no bettor than finish third.
