Skits and Scratches Bjr Fred Zlmmirmu Capital Juurnai Spuru Editor One cannot help but wonder where ll of those fine looking junior high schools kids go, athletically speaking, after they receive their ninth grade diplo mas. A certain percentage of them move over to the North 14th street educational institu tion and form the foundation for the football and basketball squads there. But to a person who nas watched the situation over a period of years, it seems too many from Parrish and Leslie drop completely out of sight. Two rounds of competi tion in the intramural football league have been sufficient to convince the most skeptical "rfiat there is abundant talent in Vhe making. No use to mention names just go out and watch the youngsters perform. Some pretty well built, rangy Tads in the four teams as well as a number of smaller ones who display a lot of native lal ent. Incidentally, it would be a good idea for more people who are interested in developing wholesome sports in Salem to witness a few of the intramural contesls. They are played each Thursday afternoon at dinger and Leslie fields. Considering the fact that the boys have not played tackle football for a number of years, they are per forming remarkably well, thanks to the coaching of Har ry Mohr, Bob Metzger, Bob Keuscher and Frank Brown. V- The new scheme of things In connection with inter-district playoffs leading to the slate basketball tournament will make no difference in the sche dule of Salem high, Gurnee Flsher, athletic director, re ports. If all concerned agree, it is probable there will be a ser ies of games between the four teams involved in district com petition Mr. Angel, Woodburn, Salem and Silverton. The win ner would then face the cham pion from district 12 which in cludes Canby, Molalla, Oregon City, West Linn and Milwaukee. The state association leaves the mechanics of the playoffs to the districts. If the pheasant season had a few days more to run, it is probable a number of our promient citizens would be in much better physical condition 1,an has been the case in a num ber of years. Several of them have learned, first hand, that this year's crop of garden-destroying birds have developed race horse tendencies with more wind than a wrestling promoter. One State street grocer started in pursuit of a particularly fine looking rooster the other day and made a number of laps around a thicket before he fin ally became exhausted. Similar activities over a period of weeks would put him in physical con dition which would enable him to outrun the hounds in Mult nomah stadium. What's become of the white ball that was brought into use on the gridiron when night competition was inaugurated a few years ago? There was quite a bit of complaint that the painted ball often became vtoo slippery to handle, but the fiVes that are now being used in natural grain are certainly difficult to follow. This is es pecially true for the fan who has to sit in the back rows of the stands and peer through several hundred feet of atmos phere that has a bit of fog in it. At times Friday night it appeared the Vikings and Pi oneers were staging a bit of pantomine sort of shadow box ing. We understand a bit more illumination could be secured from the Sweetland field lights if the burned bulbs were re placed. However, lines are re--ported as not hankering for the Job, fearing the poles might break off witii the adaed weight of a man. Klamath Marines defeat Bears Klamath Falls, Ore., Oct. 21 MiThe Klamath Falls Marine barracks squad defeated the Camp Beale Bears, 8-0, last night for the Marines' second win of the season.

Peevish Fan Gets One on Button Portland, Oct. 21 (VP) T h e Rose City's boxing show turned out to be a triple main event last night instead of the sched uled two but the added at traction lasted quick. When Policeman Mickey Pease of Portland scored a 10 round decision over Vern Ear ling of Hayden Lake, Idaho, a disgruntled fan climbed into the ring to dispute the nod. Ref eree Ralph Gruman shot a quick, sharp right to drape the protestant over the ropes.

Capital Jmirnnl, Salem, Oregon, Saturday, Oct. 21, 19445 Vikings Display They Defeat Oregon City, 20-8 The Salem Vikings, after a disheartening first period which found them trailing, 8 to 0, came to life wilh a rush Friday night on Sweetland field to lake a 20 to 8 decision over the Oregon City Pioneers. The win brought Coach Tom Drynan's club up even for the season three wins and three losses. And what proved more appealing to t(ie capacity crowd of fans was the fact that the Vikings' offensive appears to be clicking after clanking along on a couple of cylinders. Their 234 yards net from passing and rushing against the 81 turned in by the Pioneers, indicated the game was won in a legitimate man ner and not by a fluke. After stopping Salem's ini tial thrust and taking the ball on their own 34, the Pioneers went touchdown hunting imme diately. It took them just five plays to cover the 66 yards with Fullback Dungey clipping off 39 of those in one burst of speed. A tackle by Art Gottfried on the Salem 15 kept Dungey from going all of the way. The check was of momentary nature, how ever, for Jerry Peckover, fa miliar name in Oregon City ath letic circles, alter picking up six, went the final nine. A kick from placement for the conversion point failed when the ball hit the upright. The Pioneers were handed two more points on a platter just as the second period start ed. It was Salem's ball as the quarter opened. A pass from center went straight into the end zone for an automatic safety. With the count 8 to 0 against them, the Viks finally got moving and they rolled up four straight first downs as they reached the Oregon City 14. One of the first downs came as the result of an end around play with Bill Barlow getting away from his own 45 to the Pioneer 35. It looked for a while that the Vik attack was going to fizzle as Weston fum bled but recovered for no gain. A pass failed to click and Ever ett Staats picked up but a sin gle yard on a line play. With nine to go for a first down the Viks gambled and made good as Ben Lambert passed diagonally to his right to Art Gottfried who was brought down on the 14, A smart bit of ball handling, Lambert to Staats to Weston gave the Viks their first tally. Staats' crack at the line was good for the extra point. Salem blocked and Oregon Cily kicked late in the half and recovered on the 31 but all hopes of a quick touchdown faded as another pass from cen ter shot clear through the Salem secondary. After Oregon City was slopped in its cleats following the second half kickoff, the Viks unleashed their second touch down drive. Ev Staats reeled off 14 yards on the first play and three plays later the Viks reached the Oregon City 14. Lambert picked up three and Weston added six but had to leave the field by reason of an injitry. Nile Castor, a converted guard, took Weston's place and in two plays reached the one from which point Staats boomed over. He ran the flank for the extra point. Another Salem push was halted in dramatic fashion on the Pioneer 10 when Bill Gerk man grabbed Ben Lambert's pass and broke into the clear. Gerkman is no ten second man and he was caught from behind by Staats on the Oregon City 47. Shortly thereafter Staats speared an Oregon City aerial and was downed on the Salem 44. After picking up a first down the Viks had to relinquish the pigskin and Oregon Cily took to the air lanes once more. Once again Staats grabbed a pass and this time he went all the way, galloping 60 yards. He was hemmed in as he crossed the 10 but his momentum car sham no cani hoducii NiurtTJSiri Strength as ried him over. An attempted pass for the point was knocked down, The punt returns of Lambert more than offset the Pioneer kicking which was good. The Viks were credited with 11 first down against four for the Pioneers. Salfm I'll!) Ortinn CHr Bakkuni Cjx May Hanslry McCauAlslKl Sonrlprpi, OLson Perkove" Mls'ey Jones fc) Dilna-y 7 a 30 J.

Astoria Thumped By The Dalles The Dalles, Ore., Oct. 21 (U.B) A game but outclassed Astoria high school football team last night went down to defeat at the hands of The Dalles eleven, 31 to 6. Depending largely on power plays. The Dalles rolled up five touchdowns against Astoria, then substituted an entire new ineup of second and third stringers. Astoria's lone touch down came in the closing mo ments of the game, following a series of long forward passes. Hop pickers, looking over their picking checks, find that they averaged a little more last year than this due to the dry season. WOMEN CANNERY WORKERS NEEDED AT ONCE For apple, beet and cauliflower packs, on day xhifl, 8:00 A.M. to 5:30 P.M. LUNCH SERVED BY CAKE UNITED GROWERS, INC. Al Liberty Major League Rating Hinted Los Angeles, Oct. 21 tP) No one is willing to say anything for publication yet, but from behind the closed doors of a Pacific Coast league meeting yesterday came more than a hint that' the club owners' are get ting ready to demand for the'r loop recognition as a third ma jor circuit. For years there have been re current suggestions that Los An geles and San Francisco are over-ripe for major league ball The league direcors unofficial, y take the position that tabbing of the entire circuit for the big- lime would be the best way to circumvent possible invasion of these two populous centers by the National or American loops. If a major circuit acquired San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Coast league would be weaken ed to the point where it might not be able to survive as a go ing concern, the owners feel. But creation of a third major league, embracing the eight coast clubs would avert the threat and at the same time give the loop the recognition to which it feels it is entitled. Clarence L. (Pants) Rowland, Coast league president, is oper ating under a contract which has nine more years to run, and he never has made any secret of the fact that he doesn't propose to stand still. The league this year outdrew any other minor circuit, and the club owners feel that .there will never be a better time to branch out into the big-time. The club owners yesterday turned aside all questions with "you'll have to talk to Row land." Rowland wasn't talking, not at the moment, but the own ers are going to attend the Buf falo, N.Y., meeting of the Na tional Association of Baseball Clubs in a body, and those in a position to know something of the situation are looking for de velopments. Bulldogs Defeat Candy, 21 to 0 Canby The Canby Cou gars, cuffed around fairly con sistently this season, didn't, break into the win column of the Duration league Friday af ternoon but they gave the Wood burn Bulldogs a whale of an afternoon. The Bulldogs event ually won 21 to 0 to keep their league record intact and their goal line uncrossed. Woodburn scored touchdowns in the second period, the first by Al Zuber after a 15 yard canter and the second by Zabe a Canby punt. A third quarter touchdown by Curley Mattison ended the scoring. Canby approached to within five yards of the Woodburn goal but failed to muster a final scoring punch. Weston Recovers From Grid Bump Wayne Wcslon, fullback on the Salem football team, who was removed from the field dur ing Friday night's game against Oregon Cily, received a slight concussion, a check al the hos pital, where he spent the night, disclosed. He appeared com pletely recovered this morning and returned to his home. Jack Slater, also taken from the game, received a hard blow on the head when he came in contact with an opponent's knee.
