Salem? We've had a. discussion on
the subject."
We shouldn't answer that one
hi all. for it wouldn't be cricket
to point out any one gent. There
are a flock of what you'd call
"good" cage coaches hereabouts.
Sme with much more material
to work with than others and
some who can get the very best
out of what little they have to
do. a snrmrt job of coaching. Often
us not, the definition of "good
coach" isn't found in the won
and lost column. Naturally, if a
mentor comes up with his hoop
suits filled with talented kids and
wins a mess of ball games, he's
automatically a "good" coach. If
iri the next year, however, those
suits are vacated by the sharpies
and filled with awkward lads

cjf the time, the coadh isn't s

j So let's answer it thijs way and
hope we're not trodding on any
one's tootsies. We won't name
Mir ,,besl" man but will point out
those we believe are "good"
roaches year in and year out:
whether they win consistently or
not. The:-e gents can be depended
upoa to get the best out of what
material they have and are sound
in the deliverance of fundamen
tal.". We limit our picks to class
"A" schools mostly: Paul Reiling,
Mt. Angel; Jiggs Burnett, Wood
burn; Harold Hauk, Salem;
"Chief" Thompson, Chemawa;
Hank Kuchera Kugene; Ray Boe,
Silverton; Doi Wilson, Molajlla;
Lew Uhrhammer, St.'Paul; Andy
And erson, Dallas; Rex Ilunsaker,
Albany; M. Vn Driesche, Stay

We've named 'em all? Sure we
have. What'd you expect us to
do? Some are no doubt better
than others, friend, but you elect

lof the Salem-Astoria classics, but
also at least two other items of
note. First, 'twill be Palmberg's
initial effort with the Purple since
his discharge from the navy. Too,
'twill be the long-awaited return
to competition between themselves
for both Palmberg and Harold
Hauk, the SHS skipper. Cage cus
tomers will be watching for the
famed Palmberg sideline antics
also. ' j
These two basketball brains
have duelled 16 times in the past,
including two state tournament
tries. Hauk's teams have copped
the nod in nine of the 16 games.
They've broken even In the tour
ney tilts, each winning once. But
Hauk has some getting even to do
and Palmberg has some prestige
to hold up starting tonight. Since
Hauk's departure for the navy
three years ago, the Fishermen
have humbled Salem nine times in
13 tries. Palmberg . took care of the
first five straight wins in that
record in 1943.
A favorite in the series? No such
animal when Astoria and Salem
get together. Their seasonal re-
