JOE LVNAM Although Anthony's debut last week agalmt Jack Lipscomb waa Sportie sorties: Before you write off that 72-45 pasting suffered Uy Frankie Page, Scottie Sebern, Al McRae c Co. at the hands of Fee's Kollerdromers last week in the Portland Y tourney as a case of the boys getting mixed up with the men, remember this: The Fee's outfit has only thumped such other quints as Oregon, Oregon State, Washington and Washington State and will keep right on thumping a lot of the hotshot fivesomes. At that the Woolens got 43 points, dang near as many as any of the northern division teams hemped against the Fee's . . . Luckiest guy in town? Tony Ross. He's found a place to live and only after 10 days' searching. Of court.; it s out on Crolsan creeK, but it is a place to roost . . . Another village newcomer last heard of wearing himstlf to a frizzle looking for a nest Is Bill Schuble, the former Portland moundsman. Incidentally Bill says no baseballing with the Salems for him next summer. He's all for Uying with his oil company job and doing his fastballing on off moments in the Eugene Cascade ieague. At fifty smacks a game why not? . . . Modern Demost henes George Emigh. If as manjf .uslomers turn out nightly at the ball yard next summer as has iHrtn listening to Ceorge's spiels .round the lunch-and-listen cir cuit 'of late, he'll have to put in 'wo more bleacher sections to hold m . . . Reports from Portland ,n rhe advance sale of ducats DON POULIN for Friday night's Joe Kahut Gus Lesnevich bifferoo big tell that luite a load of the pasteboards have been taken down by fistic aithful from our village. Now that IS something when you consider )0 is Mumped on the cheapest ticket. Eighteen bucks is "tops" arid juts you up close enough to see whether the battlers are blond or brunette. But we don't imagine many of the Salem faithful care to oark that lose for that price . . . Then again, the punching party night turn out to be worth many times that much to Joltin' Joe's supporters. You d be surprised at i 1 'icw; many sheckels are being bet n the Woodburner . . . Recognition Pue Poulin Almost all the recent babble ..bout Joe Coe's Perfection pin bin ont ems the stale bowling tour iey at Portland starting this week, and a few of the trundlers are vondering why metropolitan pub licity thereon has failed i to point out a certain championship vet eran Don Poulin will defend ing. The newsies have made con siderable mention of trie state's lefcndmg double champs, Poulin ,nd Walt (Pappy) Cline, since these two village oldies rolled a -parkling 1229 in Klamath Falls a '41. But they've missed entire ly the fact that Poulin will be he defending all events champ of .11 time. BHCk in 1940 at Marsh field Poulin scored a remarkable 1899 In three singles games, a 'ioubles game and three team tame for the all events title. An .iverage of well over 200 pins per name.. The 1899 has never been equalled in state tournament play. Don doesn't hesitate to tell that ne's jut about over the hump as a bowler and doesn't expect to vsr approach such brilliance gain, but we'd bet one of Joe Waterman's $18 fight ducats the iffable pin buster wouldn't mind e5ng recognized in Portland as he champion he is. One for Ripley & Co.: - Ripley dept: Molalla Coach Don Wilson believes he had a good ne for Robert L. after a recent B" team game in which Danny ;.nd Dennis Dunrud, basketball playing twins on" the Molalla Bee team, each shot five field goals, made one out of three free throws -nd committed three personal foufs! -No, they didn't use mirrors. While being concerned over the inability of returning vets to find living quarters, save a place for Karl Hampton, the promising Mo lalla fuflbacker for Spec Keene's WU eleven in 1941. Now married nd home from 40 months in the navy, 180-pound Earl wants to go back ,to school. An absurdity of course if ho can't find a roost . . . Earl brings news of Bud Larson, the WU shortstop whiz from Mo lalla also. Bud Is Out of the serv ice now, has developed tremend ously as a ballplayer ' and will probably turn pro. Jim Keesey, . the tx Portland first sacker, is Aid to have Larson in tow for a TV s tern International league nine.

Poor Golfers! ; WASHINGTON, Jan. 7H?V-A proposed order releasing natural rubber for-golf balls has boon shelved pending the outcome of internatoinal negotiations on crude rubber prices, it was learn ed today. - Vikings Face Corvallis Five Tonight; Oregon Loop Crucial Due at Villa Make-or-Break Tilt Listed for Haukmen Messin around time at an end as of right now if they are to make ft noticeable dent in the No- Name league derby, Salem high's Viking courUters take to the home floor tonight to chase with Cor callis high's Spartans in what could be rightfully called a bas ketball biggie of the SHS season. First whistle is at eight o'clock, following a 0:45 skirmish between Bee squads of both schools. Coach Al Cox' ganglers, a lofty lot tabbed as the team to beat in the beginning, has been hooping along to date just that impressive ly. The Spartans have lost but once since the season began and bold league wins over both Bend and Albany. And lofty is right Starting with 6-foot 5-inch Bob Perin at center, Cox can toss a giantish crew against Harold Hauk's rapidly im proving hustlers. Mike Locey and Joe Woatherbee, who have been seeing plenty of Spartan hooping from up close, tower 8-1. So does Don Rintala. Jack Stevens and Bob Xdwards, regulars, level off at 6-0 even. Guard Keith Osborn, the diminutive department per sonified, uses his 6-10 at guard. The Haukmen have a tall task before them. Salem's tallie will be personified in Center Rod Province and his 6-3 . Bunny Mason,-another cen ter, ran go almost that high and Forwards Al Bellinger, Carlos Houck, Kenny Alberts and Jack Fitzmaurice can do around s 1 x feet even. But other than those, it's strictly pee-wee for Salem in comparison with the visitors. Storkish Perin will be the lad to stop for the defense-minded Haukies. Perin has been hemping at a terrific clip for preps and boasts nearly a 20 points-per game average. Hauk's lineup will probably in clude any two of the four men tioned above at forwards. Prov ince or Mason at center and either Roger Dasch, Dick Hendrie, Al Chamberlain, Al Gemmell or Ken ny Gibson at guards. A jam-packed gym is due for this one, a real crucial for SHS.
