This, that, etc: New project for the Salem Boat Club In May, for it's to sponsor a collegiate 8-oared rowing race In the Wil lamette River, featuring the Oregon State scullers against either the U of British Columbia or the Wash ington Huskies. Which should prove very inter esting, if you have a launch and can keep op with the rowing swifties. Otherwise, it's- sort of a "sparse hcre-they-c o m e there-they-go morsel for the observer on the bank. Nary a North or South Salem High footballer on the State squad for next autumn's Shrine Classic in Portland. Which is bad. But the area didn't get shut out completely, for Silverton Hi's fine center and linebacker Bruce. Meland was selected. He's a bone rattling tackier . . . And by the way, Pete Stisick didn't turn down the State coaching job this year because he 1 knew he was going to the U of Washington from Marsh field. He wants to complete the building of his home in Coos Bay, and figured the Portland coaching job to which he is entitled for winning the state championship last season would require too much time away from construct ion work. . . New Doubleheader Style This Season Good news for Waters Field baseball patrons who dis-. like the oft long and dreary doubleheaders. The Northwest loop has adopted a plan that calls for two 7-inning games for all doubleheaders, doing away with the 9-and-7 plan of last season. . . Slugger Chuck Essegian has a familiar gent for a boss with the Miama club of the International League. He's Don Osborn, the longtime Western Inter national League sinker-ball specialist who managed at Vancouver and Spokane in the WIL prior to moving up in the Phillies chain, He'll simple love the way Chuck can powder the baseball. The Coast League umpiring staff of 12 men for the coming campaign lists no less than five who have graduat ed from ye olde Western International in these parts. Which is a very good percentage. The five are Emmett " Ashford, Johnny Nenezich, Elnar Sorensen, Mel Steiner and Steve Yuhase ... Of the five Nenezich is the WIL : oldtimer. He was working in the league even before the war, and then for a time after it was over. No Oil Wells on the SMU Campus Those who may believe that all Texas schools have oil. wells surrounding their football fields, and know not what to do with all their money, are wrong in the case of Southern Methodist at Dallas.

Athletic director Matty Bell .told us that another $35,000 was needed to complete the seating In the pavilion. When completely finished It will seat around 8,500. It's a very nice one, but not as big or elborate as Corvallis' Gill Coliseum. SMU Mustang championship trophies are numerous in the lobby showcase indeed, and most prominently dis played of all is the huge Cotton Bowl award for Southern Methodist's 1949 victory over the Oregon Ducks. That one gets a better play than the Heisraan Award won by Doalc Walker when he went to SMU, and which is also on dis- (Continufd page 13, eol. S) Senators Add Another Player; Drive Sagging By AL LIGHTNER Statesman Sports Editor The fast rowing list of Salem Senator baseball aspirants added another" member yesterday, a young Los Angeles outfielder named Bill Barron.

The season ticket goal is 1,200. The 300 mark has not yet been reached. However, the committee M work ing up plans for an all-out drive within the next two weeks, and feels that if enough selling help ers can be recruited, the drive will be successful.
