He'. Chuck's m boil.
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. Funds for the school's new

spectators for the NCAA Regional of last weekend there
had no seats in one entire end of the place.
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

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. But the ad
vance sale of season tickets isn't
showing much progress at the
present time.
These items were brought to
'light yesterday during the weekly
meeting of the Senator chieltams,
Barron is a six-foot, 22-year-old
of 180 pounds, plays the outfield,
has had one year of professional
experience, bats right, throws
right and has just been released
from the Army. He is married and
has two children.
He has been in the Seattle Rain
lers camp at San Bernardino and
will report to the Senators head
quarters at Wasco, Calif., April S.
The ticket committee reported
that the biggest problem is still
the failure to find sufficient sellers
- to go- into the- fieW.lling -en
those who are prospective ouyers.
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.
General manager Bill Brnner
told that the advertising campaign
"is going along fairly good, and
Is showing progress." The Sena'
tore hope to realize 125,000 via
their advertising program.
Brenner is to leave shortly for
the Seattle camp at San Bernar
dino to complete his selection of
available players for the Senators
roster. He will go from San Ber
nardino to Wasco to open up the
Salem camp. During his absence
business manager Carl Gunnarson
will be in charge of the club's
headquarters here, at 105 S. High
