Mvretg Oregon, Friday, Feb. 21, 194T Junior IK By Question Why isn't Salem Steel, winners of seven consecutive contests in City league play, entered in the Marion-Polk county AAU district basketball tournament which opened Thursday nighl at Salem high school? Answer Simply because the pate. The AAU event, under the direction of Salem's Jim Dimit, is not an invitational or work-your-way in tournament it's an open affair. Any team registered with allowed to enter by paying a five gation could lose 30 straight games against grade school com petition and still be welcome to the AAU district tourney. Title Claimants Several members of the Salem Steel learn seem to think that the Steclmen should have been awarded the district AAU title and a trip to the state tourney in Portland on the strength of the team's showing in the City loop, have been called for. Record Carries No Weight True, the Steelers have posted a fine City loop record but that counts nothing toward AAU recognition, since the City circuit is in no capacity related to the AAU. Furthermore, the Steelers have never applied for AAU eligibility, and therefore aren't even in existancc as far as the AAU Steels Nix Offer The Steel crew had been given as an AAU team. An AAU representative recently approached Ihe team in regard to district playoffs, and at the same time of fered to officially register the outfit with the AAU. But the Steel ers turned down the offer, still belonged to them. Weak Argument Not a very stable argument ness the following loopholes: ed as an AAU team; (2) They cannot claim City league sup remacy in that the league championship is not yet decided; (3) Anyhow, the City league is We won't elaborate on this point, but the Steelers have been playing all season with a former professional athlete among iheir ranks something the AAU wouldn't appreciate to the least degree.

IHC. NEW YORK SAN FRANCISCO LOS ANGELES if 4k Clash Parrish Vies With Rockets At Leslie Parrish's Pioneers, 25-29 los ers to the Leslie Rockets last week, attempt to pull up even with Coach Bob Keuscher's southenders when the two clubs clash in the second contest of their three-game city junior high championship scries at 8 o'clock Friday night on Leslie's long floor. A win for Leslie would assure the Rockets of the city title, while a Parrish triumph would even the series at a vie tory apiece and postpone the championship issue until the season's third and final Pioneer- Rocket fracas next Tuesday at the high school. Leslie at Home Leslie has the advantage of performing on its home floor Friday, but Kcuscher refuses to accept the role of favorite for his Rockets. Parrish Mentor Bob Mctzger remains mum on his outcome speculations, say ing, "I'll be able to tell you about 9 o clock Friday night. ' Pioneer Change Metzger Friday morning an nounced one change from the Parrish lineup that started op posite Leslie in last week's tilt. Don Reppond will open at one of the guard slots in place of George Frcderickson. The re mainder of the Pioneer lineup will be identical to that used in the first Parrish-Leslie encoun ter Tom Sodcman and Gordon Bacon at forwards, Jim Rock at center, and Gene Lebold in at guard. Rockets Same Leslie will stick with its start ing five of Jack Anunsen, Gene Garver, Doug Rogers, Ralph Blakely and Dick Norton. Keu schcr plans on using Richard Deen and Tom Brennan as sub stitutes extensively. Halftime Show Halftime entertainment vau deville style will be presented by Leslie students. Appearing in the intermission program is the ninth grade sextet, whistler Marjorie Jordan, a group of boy tumblers, and Jack Baldwin and Joyce Kasper, seventh grade skaters. A preliminary between eighth grade teams of the two schools opens at 6:30. Kerr Signs With the signing of catcher Ted Kerr, the list of Salem Senators from last year's ag gregation remaining outside the fold has been reduced to four. Kerr reached terms with Business Manager George Emigh after a bit of dickering. Still unsigned are Frank Luc chesi, outfielder who will re port to the Beaver training camp at Riverside, Cal.

SAUSALITO, CALIF. 94.4 PROOF Viks After Big 6 Crown At Eugene Salem high school's casaba crew winds up its regular season of play opposite Eugene's Axe men at Eugene Friday night in what looms as the most im portant game in the entire Big Six loop schedule. The Vikings, now resting atop the circuit lad der, will cop the league title if they defeat Coach Hank Ku chera's Eugeners, current hold ers of second place. An Axe man victory would put Eugene a half game ahead of Salem in Big Six standings, and Eugene would then have to beat Bend February 28 to finish in undis puted possession of first place. Second Meeting Friday's Vik-Axemen tilt marks the second meeting of the two outfits this season. Eugene earned a 46-36 victory in Salem four weeks ago, and are favored to come out on top again Friday. Eyes to Tourney Next week the Salems will concentrate on the district 11 tournament opening Monday night in the local high school gym, when the Viks meet the winer of Monday night's Sil-verton-Mt. Angel contest. Eighth Grades Tangle Again Leslie and Parrish eighth grade basketball teams clash in a 6:30 preliminary to the Rocket- Pioneer varsity contest at Leslie Friday night. The Parrish eighths look a 21-16 triumph over their Leslie rivals last week. The entire Leslie "eighth grade" starting lineup is comprised of seventh graders, and only one eighth grader is carried on the roster. Warren Sick Leonard Warren, Parrish eighth grade coach, is confined to his home with illness and will not be able to direct his team Friday. Occupying his place on the bench will be Bob Metzger, Pioneer varsity mentor. Par rish's starting five will probably be Deb Davis and Tommy Blair at forwards, Lawrence Scheelar at center and Buzz Covalt and Larry Chamberlain at guards. Leslie Coach Harry Mohr will most likely floor Don McKenzie, John Hannon, Larry Paulus, Jack Cobb and Charles Bales as the fracas gets underway at 6:30. Babe Zaharias Rules Women Golf Favorite Hollywood, Fla., Feb. 21 (U.R) Mrs. Babe Didrikson Zaharias, national women's amateur cham pion from Denver, Colo., ruled a heavy favorite today in the woman's international four-ball golf tournament after scoring an easy first round victory with sub-par golf. Mrs. Zaharias teamed with Peggy Kirk of Findlay, O., to rout Mrs. George Miller of Miami, Fla., and Rymla Strevel of Mt. Clemens, Mich., 6 and 5. IROWN-POtMAN Blended whisky. Thi straight whiskies in this product in 57 months or Page's, Baptists Win AA U Tourney Tilts Page Woolens and First Baptist snared victories in opening round action of the Marion-Polk county AAU district tournament on the Salem high school floor Thursday night, defeating Valley Motor and Taylor's of Independence, respectively. Page's, who turned back the Motormen 62-40, draws a second round bye and advances to the finals of the' five-team tourney automatical ly. By virtue of their 48-35 tri umph, the Baptists earned i Tuesday night shot at Warner Motors, the team which had drawn the first round bye. The winner of the Warner-Baptist contest will meet the Woolens next Wednesday for the district title and the right to enter the state tourney in Portland next month. Coe Steals Show Baptist Forward Doug Coe stole the Friday evening show by dumping in 27 points oppo site the Independence outfit. Top scorer in the Page-Valley affair was Woolen Forward Frank Page with 14 counters. Motors Threaten Valley Motor made things tough for the favored Woolen crew throughout most of the first half. After Page's had leap ed into an early 10-0 lead, the Motormen came back strong to tie the count at 18-all with five and a half minutes remaining in the half. Both teams hit 'em in a hurry during the next minute and a half to run the score to 24-24, then Page's tossed in six points via field goals by Page, Cline and Wally Gemmcll to take a halftime lead of 30-25. Valley Motor, using only seven men in the game to Page's 10, tired in the second half and the Woolens encountered little difficulty in dispesing of Man ager Moe Fitzsimmons' crew. Baptists Pulled Away First Baptist pulled away from a nip-and-tuck first quarter with the Taylor aggregation, and gradually increased its advan tage through the next three pe riods. Coe was a continual threat to the Indeps, playing a whale of a passing game as well as accounting for over half his team's total points.
