February Peek at Salem Senators Raster In view of tomorrow night's Harvey Storey baseball ban quet, and the kickoff of the 1954 season, let's have a February peek at what the new Senators skipped now has for a player roster. f Taking the catchers first: Bob Nelson belongs to the club, but is a" doubtful returnee. He'll probably quit if ; generalissimo Luby fails to make a deal for him. Don Mastersorr still belongs to the Baltimore Orioles chain (formerly St. Louis Browns), and both Luby and Storey would like to again land the hustling receiver for '54.

Luther ana ivan were scneuuieu for last week, but when Lindsey was delayed in his trip from Hawaii, a postponement was nec essary. Kamaroff instead went against Catalina George Drake, and beat him with his crushing bear hug hold. Second half of tonight's mainer will be taken care of by bouncing Gino Nicolini, who is getting his first main event role here, and Toi (The Great) Yamato, the Singa pore Slinger with the vicious Judo chops and sleeper hold. It will be a right rugged test for the popular Nicolini A pair of single-fall prelims round out the card. In the first, at 8:30 o'clock, Danny O'Rourke takes on newcomer Jack Rush. In the second Bronko Lublich has a whack at George Drake. Both are liked by the fans here for their scientific styles. Drake look ed sharp in his mix with Kamar off last week, despite losing it This will be Lindsey's first Salem appearance since he went to Hawaii some time ago. He's easily one of the all-time favor ites locally and is up against a big and rough gent in Kamaroff. Ivan has progressively become an out and out mat meanie in recent weeks, and used plenty of the un orthodox stuff in beating Drake a week ago. - Both mainers will be 2-of-3 fall en. Tickets for the card are 1 available at Barb's Sporting Goods Store.

The Salem Vikings move to Albany tonighi for their next to last basketball! outing in Big Six League play for the season. The mix with Coach Lee Cardon's Bulldogs will follow the 6:30 pre lim involving Jayvee units. J In their first meeting hcrfe earlier in the season CoacH Harold Hauk's' lads swept to a convincing 68-44 win over the Bulldogs, which at the time was considered an f upset The dash ing, pressing style of play used by the Salemsin that game had the Albany quint off stride throughout Hauk will no doubt call upon the same tactics in tonight's mix. Regardless of how the game turns out, neither side has a chance for the league champion ship. Corvallis and Eugene are making a two-team argument for the title, each having lost bdt once to date. Albany has dropped two circuit games, Salem Three, and the best cither could get out of the final standings would be a tie for the top spot for Albany Probable starters for Salem will be Tom Pickens, Phil Burk land, Bob Wulf, Jim Knapp and Gordy Domogalla. For Albany, Dave Shelby, I Jerry Hazelwood, Pete Wilfert, frank Burford and Dean Sorenson are the likely starters, with Shelby the biggest of the entire pack at 6-8. The Vikings close out their league as well as regular home schedule heref Friday night, with Eugene's Axemen the foe. 5 Seattle Girl I Shares Lead I I I PALM BEACH. Fla.

Gardner 566; The fastest competitive indoor mile will continue to be the 4:04.4 set by Glenn Cunningham on the Dartmouth College six and two thirds, lap track in 1938. Santec's effort was on the eight-lap Michi gan State track. So now there are three separate indoor mile records: 1. Cunningham's 4:04.4. despite the fact that it was a handicap race. 2. Santee's 4:04.9 3. Gil Dodds' 4:05.3, sef on the Madison Square Garden 11-lap board track in 1948. When told of Santee's race in a triangular meet here among Kansas, Michigan State and Illi nois, Dan Ferris, secretary-treasurer of the National Amateur Ath letic Union, which passes on all such records, said: "Dodds record will still be rec ognized as the board track rec ord. We have to list separate rec ords because some places don't have board tracks and other places don't have dirt tracks. We couldn't have one standard with the two kinds of tracks." When he finished the race. San tee said he didn't feel- just right. "There were a few little things that bothered me," he said. "With conditions just right I know I can run that four minute mile. "I might do that four-minutes at the Big Seven meet (at Kansas City Feb. 26-27). I like to run on boards and the track is banked to help you on your turns." Santee was paced for the first half of the distance by Lyle Garbe, Michigan State half-miler. The Kansan covered the first quarter in :60.5, the half mile in 2:04 0; and was clocked at 3:06.5 at the three-quarter mark. I didn t go fast enough in the first half." Santee said. "And when Garbe left the track, he cut in front of me and put me off stride. Later one of the Michigan State runners stepped on my heels. Those : were just little things," Santee added. "I ran a good race but I can go better."
