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.

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.

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.

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.
