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,

Beavers Fired
Up for Series
Oregon State College, Corval
lis. 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.

Junior Clubs
Meet Friday
A double barreled program
will open the junior basketball
championship series at Leslie
Friday night with eighth grade
quints trom Leslie and Parrish
opening the performance at 7
o'clock. 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. Viking Grapplers

though an autopsy will be neces
sary to determine the exact
cause. 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.

Form Needed by
Ski Jumpers
Suit Lake City, Feb. 21 VP)
American ski jumpers should
emulate the man on the flying
trapeze and let the distance
mjrks fall where they may, Norwegian-born
Olav Ulland of
Seattle believes.
"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.

northwest conference team.
The Fortland team struggled
from behind during the second

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.
