The driv ing, young Vikings, playing with out the services of Captain Allen Bellinger and ' regular guard Alt Chamberlain, never quit trying, and were closing the: margin as the contest ended. It was a vatly improved Salem team from the one that was crushed here last spring 65 to 33 by almost the same Medford crew. Coach Harold Hauk's kids trail ed only 8 to 9 at the quarter, fell behind 23 to 17 at the half, and lagged by eight points 33 to 25 at the third period -rest. A final period rally couldn't quite catch the smooth Tornadoj For Medford big Darrell Riggs was a tower of strength under the backboards,' while Jerry Ross and Earl Stelle paced the scoring with 8 markers each. Bunny Ma son was high for Salem, with 8 points, too, while guards Dick Ifendrie, Kenny Gibson, and Ro ger Dasch gave Medford trouble all evening with their drive and their constant ball-hawking.

Jan. 4 -(P) Branch Rickey apparently Is de termined to win acceptance as s true Brook'tynite, as the manner 'in which he signed Leo Duroch er to a 1 94& contract as man ager was strictly in keeping with Dodger tradition. Durocher was around town for a while before leaving for Miami Beach a few days ago. It would have been simple to arrange a conference, even if Mr. Rickey was confined to a hospital, as he still Is. However, that would have been the direct approach, the orthodox method. That wouldn't be putting two base runners on third base or skillfully catching fly balls on the head. No sir, the Dodgers have to do things the hard way. so Mr. Rickey ' waits until Durocher arrives In RON WEBER, hoop-hitting Uni versity of British Columbia guard, ' Is shown with the Thunderbirds during their cur rent 'series at Willamette.

As Daffy As His Frick's office, although it is im probable that the league presi dent would stall off paying his help by saying: "Wait a couple of days, Durocher is due for more umpire trouble." As nearly as we can figure. Leo has paid 81150 in fines since 1938. A tax of 150 was about par for the course, although some of the penalties ran as high as $150 and he got off once for $25, probably for something that happened during a bargain bill.
