Skits and Scratches Bj Kred Zimmerman aDital Journal Sports Editor The statement frequently heard in basketball circles and due that is regarded as the gos pel truth among some followers rff the DODUlar court pastime, tliat a team has to score more tlian 40 noints to be a consistent winner, doesn't check out when Ihe records of Salem high's Vik iligs are concerned. Harold Hauk's courtsters wound up their regular season of 24 games Tuesday night, winning lb ana losing eight. Of those that were lilaced on the right side of the ledger, eight were won wnn ffioves below 40 and eight when the total topped that mark. So it's sort of a 50-90 proposition when the total score is checked ifgainst the wins and losses. Of Uie eight mat were aroppeu. tpur were lost to teams that fail ed to score 40 points while as jhanv more defeats were to quints that topped the 40 mark ' The Viks amassed 858 points during their 24 contests for an average of 35 M points. Their opponents collected 739 for an average of 30:1i. Three of the xames were won by identical totals of 46 points against Ash land, Bend and Medford--and furthermore, In the two games wncre me toiais nroppea 10 a dnd 27 points, the Viks were re turned the winners. One was the first game against Klamath and the other during the Astoria ser ies. As we recall, Salem teams have never been noted for their high scores, hut chiefly for their ability to keep the other side from finding the hoop with too great regularity. This season the opposition was held to a total if 739 points, or an average of 30 M, with Klamath checking in 50 markers in a single contest and the alumni (Page Woolens) 49 in another, i Salem high's somewhat leth argic student body came to life With a roar in the Medford ser ies and that may be one reason why the Viks played with such qnlliusiasm. The kids gave the players a real ovation when they came through the door from the dressing rooms and they man aged to keep the root in suspen sion much of the time during the brace of contests. . . . Coach Al Simpson was more worried about Dick Hendrie and what the youngster would do to his "Black Tornado" than any other member of the Salem high squad. And well he might for Dick, after a somewhat hesitant start early in the season, asks odds of nobody. Incidentally one Don Hendrie is now being intro duced as "Dick Hendrie's fath er." i : Nohody In the Viking camp Is taking the forthcoming district tournament at Alt. Angel lightly and they expect a scrap for every point that may be collect ed. If the issue were decided on a school population basis then the Viks should be expected to take the scries in stride. But, as Coach Al Simpson pointed out the other night, "there is noth ing so unpredictable as the re null of a basketball game." Judging by Willamette Valley league standings, Silverton should provide the strongest op position to Coach Harold Hauk's quint and since they meet in the first game of the tournament Friday night at 7 o'clock, there won't he any delay in determin ing (lie issue. . , By collecting a total of Z points in the pair with Aledford, Allan Bellinger brought his season's mark up to 135. Dick Hendrie took over sec ond spot in the Viking scoring column by adding 21 to his ittring for a grand total of 128. Cicne Mason has a total of 113, having added seven during the two nights of competition, Tafr Calls Off St. Paul Contest St. Paul The basketball game between Taft and St. Paul high schools, which was scheduled to have been played on Che mawa's floor Saturday night, February 18, was called off by Taft.

Feb 21 A fired-up and de'ermiued Oregon State bas ketball team left Corvallis Thursday bound for Seattle and a return scries with dangerous Washington Friday and Satur day nights. The crucial Husky games will make or break the Beavers' chances of winning or finishing in a tie with Idaho for the northern division champion ship Meanwhile Idaho, tied with the Orange for the league lead ership at present with nine, wins and four losses, will sit back and see if Oregon Stale can -duplicate the feat of the Vandals in licking the Huskies 'twice on their home floor. By winning both Seattle games the Beavers could move into undis puted possession of first place and put the pressure on Idaho who would then have to beat powerful Oregon twice next week to keep pace with the Or ange. Even one loss to the Hus kies, however, would drop O.S.C. behind the Vandals and lessen Orange chances to finish on top. Oregon State's hopes for a double victory at Seattle will rest on a well-balanced scoring attack led by Red Rocha. great 6-foot 8-inch center who has poured in 159 points in 13 games and the tight defense Coach Slats Gill's men have thrown up In their last four conference starts. The Beaver defense held Washington Stale to an average of only 38 points per contest here last week-end and checked Washington to a 42.5 average in the series here two weeks ago. City Hoop Title Goes to Woolens Page Woolens, a quint made up of former Salem high school court performers, wound up a completely successful basketball season Wednesday night when they polished off the Maple & K.eene aggregation 50 to 35 in the finale of the City league season. The Woolens went through the season without a single setback, piling up lopsid ed scores as they waded through their opponents. The Maple-Kecne squad col lected every available player, but they couldn't keep pace with Frankie Page & Co. The losers missed repeatedly during the first halt and trailed 27-18 at half time. Page paced the winners with his 13 markers in a game that was rugged at times. Miplr-Kr.il. 3A) (541) Woolen QiltAsrth 2 r 9 Bfbern Skopil P 13 Pane Sjindnrps 11 O 9 McR Kolb 1 OS McHV?

An hour later the Mis sionaries and Pioneers will square away for the contest that will give one side or the other the first leg on the champion ship cup. Three games are sche duled for the series and they will be played regardless of the outcome of the first two. The second is booked for March 1 at Salem high and the third will go back to Leslie. March 8. The games climax the instru mural program when four teams from each school battled three times a week for more than a month. At the end of that lime Coach Bob Keuscher at Leslie selected the boys he believed were the best, whil Coach Bob Metzger did the same at Par rish. The Leslie squad has been handicapped recently because of injuries and sickness, but it is probable the Missionaries will be at full strength Friday eve ning.

Ford, who gave his age as 16, and Adolph Caputo. his manager, were held on an open charge. Ford, who Had beaten Von in a four round engage ment two weeks ago, had the better of the argument Wednes day night with the possible ex ception of the fourth round when the negro seemed to tire a bit. Early in the fifth Ford stag gered Von with blows to the head and a moment later an other swing sent the Aurora boxer partially through the ropes. He took a count of eight but went down a second time as Ford's seconds yelled "stop it." Referee Packy McFarland stopped proceedings after Von hit the canvas for the third time. Von was assisted to his corner and appeared in no par ticular distress but collapsed a moment later. Dr. M. E. Gadwa, boxing commission physician, and Dr. Charles Wood went to Von's corner. Later the uncon scious boxer was taken to a hospital by the first aid crew where he died a few minutes later. Von, a former member of the U. S. marine corps, is 22 years of age and was engaging in his fourth professional fight. None of the five scheduled bouts went the limit. Duane Hoag, Portland featherweight, won his third successive scrap in the armory ring when he pummelled Young Freddie Steele of Vancouver, B. C, into submission in the sixth round. Hoag pinned Steele in a corner and lashed him almost at will as the referee called a halt. Steele exhibited a stinging left but Hoag simply threw too much leather for the British Colum bia scrapper. The John L. Sullivan-Jack Hibbard six rounder ended in the fifth with Sullivan taking a TKO over his battle scarred op ponent. Leon Moore of Salem slammed a right to Reno Ray Jackson's stomach in the sec ond round of a preliminary and tne latter was counted out. Garrulous Jimmie Garrison took the count in the first round of his scrap with Kid Brown of Portland. It was Brown's first appearance as a professional boxer. ininrnniPAfl nv 'i Housekeeping , 1 1, utriui.i u. .Vf.T Tia !

"There's too much stress on distance and not enough on form," the 35-ycar-old veteran of army service in the Aleutians said upon arrival to compete in the three-day tourney of the Utah Ski club beginning tomor row at Ecker hill. "In Norway we used to have thousands watching the tourna ments, and they were all Judges," he explained. "If a skier made the longest jump, but faltered on landing, they would all shake their heads and say it was no good. But here .' He didn't finish the sentence, but it was apparent he disapproves of the American fans' almost exclusive interest in lengthy leaps. Ulland's concentration on form in his own jumping has not kapt him from doing pretty well in the distance classification, however. Credited with a 339 foot leap at Ponte De Legno, Italy, in 1935, he stayed well to the front in American com pecition before beginning 28 months with the army signal corps. Full Schedule of Races at Anita Arcadia, Calif., Feb. 21 (U.PJ Entry boxes at Santa Anita race track were open today and the management promised a full schedule of races despite a strike by the California thoroughbred owners and trainers association, which threatened Saturday's $100,000 Santa Anita Derby. The strike protesting the Los Angeles Turf club's plan to de duct money from the winning purses to pay grooms and stable boys, was scheduled for Friday. The owners, who claim to rep resent 75 percent of the owners at the track, rebelled after a meeting late' yesterday with Lloyd Wright, chairman of the state racing board.

Nosed -By Pilot Quint McMinnvllle, Ore., Feb. 21 VP) The University of Portland took a 59-56 non-conference basketball decision from Lin field college here last night to make it two in a row over the northwest conference team. The Fortland team struggled from behind during the second half and tied it at 54-54 with minutes to play. Quick goals by Lebenzon and Meechan then put Portland safely away. Leb enzon's 25 points topped scoring efforts. Yankees Pleased With New Camp Balboa, C.Z., Feb. 21 W) The New York Yankees have made such remarkable progress in their baseball training and are so delighted In general with their Panama camp that they are virtually certain to return here next spring. In ten days this lush green land with its warm days and breeze swept nights appears to have fully justified Larry Mac Phail's judgment in flying the squad down across the Carib bean. to get a slight jump on the rest of the American league clubs. To a man, the veterans just out of the service about whom Manager Joe McCarthy had his most serious doubts, have told this writer that training here has been extremely beneficial. ...ufar S TO ESS' ,avvng.
