, This Is a mighty big week for
both the North Salem Vikings and
South Salem Saxons in their res
pective Jidsr for supremacy in the
District I A-l basketball race.
Both local quints are on the .oad
for the weekend, and a rough road
it is. The South Salems piay at
Corvallis Friday and at Bend Sat
urday night. North Salem is at
Bend Friday.
A peek at the standings will
quickly disclose just how impor
tant the games are for all mem
bers involved. Dick Ballantyne's
Saxons are now in a first place
tie with Band, while Ken Hunt's
Vikings are in the second division
half a game behind fourth place
Corvallis and two full games off
the pace.
Defeats suffered by either outfit
Friday could prove disastrous in
the long run. The same applies for
the Saxons in their big one at
Bend Saturday night.
Bend is finished with road games,
and has all remaining district
clashes booked for the Bears' home
arena. During their visit to Salem
the Bears were dropped 53-44 by
South Salem, but downed North
Salem 49-37. The loss to the Saxons
was the only one suffered by Bend
in all Its league games to date.

Lions to Seek
To Buy Tigerg
DETROIT '0 The Detroit
Lions football team decided
Wednesday to see if it can find
enough money to buy the Detroit
Tigers' baseball franchise and
Briggs Stadium.
Under a complicated (rust setup,
the Tigers and Briggs Stadium,
must be sold some time in the
future. -
"We're definitely Interested in
Briggs Stadium," said Edwin J.
Anderson, president of the Lions,
"but if the trustees of the Tigers
(eel the sale of the ball park alone
would impair the sale of the
franchise, then we will sea if i''s
possible for us to make a bid for
both of them as a package deal."

The ruling was based on the fact
he played briefly In a game for
material for the USA. But sincevBailey is an Australian, he
may run under the colors Of his native country. Which would
be a blow to Uncle Sam's forces,, as day after day it becomes
more obvious that the Russkies weren't kidding when they
boasted of what their athletes woyjd do in the 1958 Olympics

Bailey, Dellinger and Morris in action here, for Ogdahl has
