Skits and Scratches Bj Fred Zimmerman Capital Jouma) 8 porta Writer i What would happen If the entire student body of Salem high school took the notion to turn out for a basketball gome some night? For one thing only about a third of them would find places to sit. The rest would be stood up around the edges of the playing court about six deep and John Q. Public would cool his heels on the outside listening to bursts of applause as the two point ers were checked through the hoops. Of course, It's an old story about the high school gymnasium. There's nice playing floor, a huge door which takes an electric motor to pen and close, not to mention opera ohalrs. But, there are only 600 of the latter. Since 800 students have purchased season tickets and since lit tendance this season on the part of the general public has been bet ter than usual, It's quite likely there will be some disappointed fans In the not too distant future. . For tonight's game against the Oregon State rooks bleacher seats are being brought over from Willamette univers ity. They must be taken down following the game to provide floor space for gym classes. It's not an economical plan and eonldnt be financed except for the fact that NY A labor will be employed. The solution of the problem will not come until the school Installs Its own bleachers the type that can be folded against the wall In a small Bpace. They would cost quite a bit, perhaps the class In shop could be ; iet to work on the project. They built an excellent stage arrangement lor the ayrnphony orchestra at (fraction of the cost If purchased on the open market. i Additional seating room could be sed several times during the school year. The annual Oym Jamboree, for Instance. This show Is a popular one twhloh draws capacity houses each night. It wasn't but a few seasons ftgo that 800 seats would have been twice too many. But with the Vik ings apparently on their way to a third consecutive championship, the art department should be Instruct ed to paint a nice S.R.O, card.

Associated Press Photo. Heart Attack At Ball Game Proves Fatal . Seattle, Jan. 21 VP) John Frank "Jack" Lelivelt, 53, reputed to have been one of the highest paid man agers In minor league baseball, died last night two hours after he was stricken with a heart attack while watching a basketball game. Lelivelt, who piloted the Seattle Pacific Coast league baseball club to two successive pennants and was preparing to bid for a third the coming season, seemed In good health when he went to the game. But before play had ended, he be came ill and was taken by Roscoe Torrance, vice-president of the Hal niers, to the Washington Athletic club for first aid. Ha was then re moved to a hospital where he died His widow, In southern California, was notified Immediately by Emit Sick, president of the Seattle base ball club. Lelivelt arrived here two days ago from their three-acre estate In the San Fernando valley to send out player contracts marking the start of his fourth season as manager of the Ralnlers. Before affiliating with the local ball club, he had gained national recognition for molding some of the most outstanding teams in minor league history while piloting Los An geles of the Pacific Coast league. When a disagreement ended his management of the Angels, he de cided to retire, but re-entered base ball as a scout for the Chicago Cubs. Lelivelt spent more than 35 years In a baseball uniform. In his playing days he ranked high at bat for Washington, New York and Cleve land In the American league. He held down first base and outfield positions. Later he went to the Am erican Association. When his playing days ended, Lel ivelt managed teams In the Ameri can Association, the Western and Texas leagues before entering Pa cific coast baseball.

DISTILLING CO Twogood Resignation Resented by Cagers By Fred Hampton (Auocltted Preu BUtt Writer) The mysterious resignation of Forrest Twogood, popular University of Idaho basketball coach, brings no echo of ap proval from the Vandal basketball team. The Idaho cage proc tor is tops with his boys. L. H. Greg- ory of the Oregonlan learned dur ing his basketball rambllngs around the northern loop that the Vandal players are downright disgusted. One of them said: "For the rest of the season we're not playing basketball for Idaho we're playing It for Twogood and for ourselves, and we're going to have fun." Indignation If not mu tiny. Comments Greg: "There's doubt that the basketball players want Twogood and are bitterly re. sentful of the political methods used to force him out. Ironically tne ousting, enective in July, comes just when he seems to have the makings of much his best team since taking charge ... in 36.M That Isn't quite the way A Washington sportster heered It, however. Al Stump writes In the Vancouver Columbian that Two good might have put up a suc cessful fight against removal but that he was sick and tired of the Idaho billet with Its 'in creasing faculty pressure and decided to quit before he went quietly crazy. Tills originated in The Dalles gymnasium after The Dalles' cage team had deflated the Bend Lava Bears, 50 to 28. As a gesture of courtesy Coach vern Sprague of The Dalles sent a messenger to the Bend dressing room to ask Coach Hank Nilsen if there was anything he needed. Returned the messenger with: "Hiisen says yes. He needs a new ball club."

YOl'R PIONEER Ton Alwava Ret a Belter Used Giants Grid Coach Cracks 'Wildcat' Game By Robert Myers Los Angeles, Jan. 21 (T) Big Steve Owen was talking straight from the shoulder, and this hefty coach of the New York Giants pro fessional football team has very large and very wide shoulders. "As long as you have such dis graceful 'wildcat' games as you had Sunday, you'll never see majoi league pro football In Los Angeles or California," he declared In an interview. Owen, preparing to shove off for New York, referred to a belated grid engagement between the Los Angeles Bulldogs and a hastily re cruited, rapidly-drilled squad made up largely of college seniors who but a few weeks ago were the toast of their scattered football worlds. The collegians won 8-7. The promotion, finantlally speak ing, was hardly a success. "It was a shame," continued Owen, "to see those kids exploited out there, taking all kinds of bodi ly risks and for $10 a head. Yes, that's what some of the boys told me they got after the game was over. A million dollars worth of talent promoted and sold for 10 bucks a head." The All-Star collegians Included seveial lads who took the banners of the University of Southern Cali fornia into the Rose Bowl two years in succession. One was Al Krueger, the rangy end who was a hero when he caught the pass that beat Staunch Duke In the closing sec onds of that 1939 battle. Big Jim Kisselburgh of Oregon State, one of the best fullbacks In the Coast conference, was another. "Kisselburgh told me that was the only time he'd ever played football for his supper," Owen com mented. "And how," he went on, "these kids could get together, practice a week or less, and then beat the seasoned Bulldogs, most of whom have been playing pro ball for years, Is something I can't answer. The Bulldogs had won the Pacific coast pro championship the Sunday before. Now what does that make professional football look like?"
