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.

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.

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

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.
