Skits and
Scratches

Capital Journal Sports Editor
Sam Breadon, St. Louis Car
dinal owner, may be in the same
category with the fellow who
expected 15 chicks from a clutch
of as many eggs, but at least he
cannot be accused of not being
forehanded in connection with
this year's World Series. Ac
cording to a yarn in the Sporting
News, Breadon says there is a
possibility that there may be
no public sale of tickets for the
annual classic, that is if the Car
dinals repeat their performance
of last year. The way the Card
boss figures it, only approxi
mately 3000 series tickets will
be available for general distri
bution and the job of passing
them' around to a clamoring
public would be accompanied
with so many headaches he may
not put them on the market at
all.
The St. Louis park has ac
commodations or 23,000 re
served seat customers, but
Breadon's system of selling
season tickets for the regular
Rational league schedule en
Jtars prominently into the pic
ture. Holders of two such
season tickets are entitled to
purchase a reserved seat for
the fall classic and since 20,
000 of them will have passed,
into the hands of the public
by the end of the month that
means 10,000 of the highly
prized pasteboards will be off
the market. "Then," explains
Breadon, "the holders of 2000
box seats and 2500 reserved
seats for the season have the
privilege fit buying those same
seats for the series, and they
always do." Another 5000 are
used up In taking care of re
quests from the commissioner's
office, the opposing club,
tickets which players and
baseball writers are permitted
to buy , , . But then, perhaps
the Cardinals will not repeat.
Most men who have reached
the four score and four mark
would be content to turn the
chores of the world over to the
younger generation. Not so
Amos Alonzo Stagg. Coach Stagg
at 84, relieved of his head coach
ing job at College of the Pacific.
took a position at Susquehanna
university in Pennsylvania
where, as an assistant to his
son, he will continue to teach
wide open football and school
youngsters on how to stop it
lien the opposition tries the
tame thing. Stagg declines to
put a time limit on the length
of his coaching other than to
tay that "I have no ambitions
to live to a certain age. I want
to live so long as I am useful
Like the cowboy who dies with
his boots on, I want to die in
the thick of action doing things
I want to do . From Alonzo
Stagg, Jr., himself 47 and a
coach for more than two de
cades, one gains an insight into
the father's ability to stay with
a job that has killed many
younger men.
"First, he lives cleanly," the
son points out. "There are no
excesses. He gets plenty of
sleep, trying for tVi hours
dally. He watches his eating.
He does not smoke and he does
not drink. Then, he comes
from a line of people who are
noted for longevity. Then he
has the happy faculty of dis
missing any care or worries
from his mind once the day's
work is done." The elder
Stagg has another theory on
, how to stay young. It's to have
young thoughts and young
thoughts don't deal with the
past. Stagg refuses to live in
retrospect. He lives in . the
future. He won't even look
back and tell you whom he
thinks was the greatest foot
ball player of all time, what
was the greatest team or who
was the greatest coach.
"What's next?" his blue eyes
ask you.
If any further evidence was
needed by way for indicating

little sentiment in its system.

In Big Six Basket Mix
The Albany Bulldogs, winners of 10 games out of 13 starts and
co-holders of the topmost slot in Big Six league standings, invade
the local high school basketball pavilion Tuesday night to meet
the Salem Vikings. A win for Coach Rex Hunsaker's blue and
gold 'Dogs would give them undisputed possession of the loop
ladder's top rung, and a loss
would drop them into third I
place, and elevate Salem to a
first-place tie with Bend.
Klamath Falls, Bend and Leb
anon have been the only con
querors of the Bulldogs this sea
son. Albany has registered wins
over Lebanon, Redmond, Grants
Pass, Myrtle Point, Taft, Eugene,
Sweet Home, Toledo and two
victories over Springfield.
The probable starting line
up for the visitors includes
Earl Kelty and Dave Hobbs,
forwards, Norman Saylor, six
foot two center, and Guards
Paul Heins and Allen Ed
wards. Salem will probably floor
Forwards Hugh Bellinger and
Cub Houck, Center Bill Hill and
Guards Dick Allison and Dick
Hendrie as the game gets under
way at 8 o'clock. A preliminary
between the Jayvee teams from
each school opens at 6:43.
Sophs Travel
To Lebanon
Coach Elroy Jensen's Salem
high Sophs travel to Lebanon
Tuesday night for a contest with
the Lebanon "B" outfit. Leb
anon's varsity Warriors take on
the Oregon State Rooks Tues
day, and the local Sophs per
form in the preliminary tilt.
Due to crowded conditions
in the Salem high gymnasium,
the Sophomores have been
working out under Coach Jen
sen at 7 o'clock every school
day morning. Both an "A"
and "B" sophomore teams are
currently operating, though
only the "A" crew will be
taken to Lebanon.

Salem Steel, Elfstrom's and
Page Woolens are all perched at
the top of City league standings
with two wins and no losses
each. The Elfs and Woolmen
tacked on their latest wins dur
ing loop play at Leslie Monday
night, Valley Motor Bowing to
the Pagers, 55-28, and Knights
of Columbus dropping a 28-24
closie to the Elfstrom crew.
Eddie Salstrom and Gordon
Gemmell, with 18 and 14
points respectively, paced the
Wool outfit to its win, but the
V-8'ers threw a big scare into
the Ray Page-managed outfit
until the Woolens began to
pull ahead midway in the
third quarter. With four min
utes of that period gone, the
Motormen closed the gap to
23-21 on a free throw by Phil
lips, but Page came right back
with a cripple shot to put his
club into a 25-21 lead, and
the eventual winners perked
steadily from then on.
The Elfstrom-KC game was a
spectator's dream. The winners
led at the end of the first quar
ter, 8-2, then faded in the sec
ond canto to trail 16-15 at the
half. Elfstrom's could manage
but a single field goal in the
third period, and as the final
period opened the Knights were
leading 22-17. Only three and a
half minutes remained in the
contest when the score was
deadlocked at 24-all, then Van-
dervoort sunk one out of two
free throws resulting from Haef
ner's foul to put the Elfs ahead
25-24. Vandervoort added a
field goal and Herberger hit a
foul toss for the winners before
the final whistle. Only three
players were credited with Elf
strom's scores. Herberger tal
lied 16 counters, while Gordy
McMorris and Vandervoort each
dunked six.

'Cat Cagers
Trip Whits
Coach Elmer Schaake's Wil
lamette university Bearcats ad
ministered the worst beating
since 1939 to Whitman college's
cagers Monday night. The score
was 63 to 32 and the game had
many aspects of a rout during
the final minutes of competition
as the 'Cats dominated in all de
partments. The two quints will
meet again at 8 o'clock Tuesday
night and in all probability the
Missionaries, pretty much crest
fallen over their showing, will
do a much better job of it. Back
in '39 Willamette took a pair
from the Whits, 61 to 27 and 83
to 41.
Using a fast break and going
to work before the 'Cats had
time to become fully organiz
ed. Whitman caged two bas
kets in the early moments and
appeared on their way. But
two gifters and a basket by
Ron Riinyan pulled Willam
ette up even and a moment
later Runyan hove in another,
duplicated by Frank Page and
from then on Whitman trailed.
With fifteen minutes played
they were behind 22-10 and
during the interval to half
time Alan McRae potted five
markers, Bob Medley four and
Fred Perry two. Half time
found Willamette out In front,
33 to 17.
The second half was prtty
much a repetition of the first
20 minutes, only this time it
was Don Barnick, a pre-war
campaigner who got hot in the
final minutes, caging four bas
kets as fast as his mates could
feed him the ball.
Coach Schaake started Wcs
Saxon, Milt Baum, Frank
Page, Duane. Ragsdale and
Ron Runyan and then counter
ed mid-way of the first half
with Marshall Barbour, Mc
Rae, Barnick, Perry and Al
Fedge. The process of run
ning the Whits Into the floor
was repeated during the sec
ond half.
