Rejuvenated Viks Whip Oregon City Salem Hoopers Get Set for Portland Commerce Saturday The Norsemen of Salem high hit the payoff path Friday night as they walloped the Oregon City Pioneers 52 to 35 in a no-contest tilt on the Salem floor. Hugh Bellinger opened the scoring for the Vikings by bucketing a shot close in. The Oregon City quintet staved off the Vik attack and evened the score at five all, but fromf that point on to the final whistle the game was in the bag for the Haukmen. The score at the half was 33 to 15 for the Vikings and only the liberal use of a string of Salem subs kept Oregon Ci ty's basketball team in the game. A new starting lineup Wal do Unruh and Keith Farnam at forwards, Carlos Houck at cen ter with Bellinger and Bud Du Val at guards proved to be a fast and smooth combination. The biggest improvement, how ever, was noted in the rejuven ated shooting from the court. Although the Viks missed gift shots, the first half play showed few failures in field goal at- mpts. A snappy brand of ball pass- ig indicated a new confidence l.fi the quintet. In early season games when the vikings lost three to one victory, hesitancy was obvious in the passing de partment. In the statistics, Salem loop ed a total of 21 field shots and 10 gift counters, while the Pioneer quintet chalked up nine buckets and 17 gifters. Despite the beanpole Van Pelt brothers Winslow and Charles who tower near the six foot five mark, the record showed that Salem controlled the ball under the net. Houck working from his new assignment as center led the scoring again for the Viks when he recorded 12 points. Bellinger racked up 8 points before leav ing the game in the third period with a twisted ankle. Saturday' night, the Viking quintets will meet teams from Commerce of Portland on the high school court in Salem. Coach Loren Mort s Viking fBees completed Salem night by chalking up a 37 to 28 win over Ithe Oregon City Jayvees.

Cage Kinks Hit Coach Says Wide Competition Brings Uniform Officiating Seattle, Jan. 3 The need for broad competition in the Pacific Coast Conference to end "home-town officiating" was stressed today by California Coach Nibs Price in a Seattle speech. Speak ing to members of a sports writers club, Price pointed out that inter-division games had helped the loop iron out officiating kinks in the cage game.

The surprising Harden, non winner of a major tournament in his 10 years in golf, pulled the perennial darkhorse feat in grabbing the spotlight in the first round with nicely matched nine-hole scores of 33-34 67 four shots under par 35-36 71. Still another unknown, Bill Spiller, former Los Angeles red cap, startled the record opening day gallery of 8500 with a 36-32 68, and then last year's win ner, little Ben Hogan, came in with the same card. Locke and former U.S. nation al open champion Lloyd Man grum of Los Angeles, next to last to go out, managed to finish the round before complete darkness closed in, both shooting 70s, one stroke behind Vic Ghezzi of Kansas City, Kan., who won the Los Angeles fixture in 1935 in a play-off with Johnny Revolta. Two threats, Sam Snead of Hot Springs, Va., and ex-PGA titleholder Bob Hamilton of Ev ansville, Ind., gave up the ghost at the 12th hole and were slat ed to complete the round today. Even with par in the first round were Jimmy Demaret, Ellsworth Vines and Ed Furgol.

Liberty St Nimrods Note: Terrific Kill' Set for Week-end Portland, Jan. 3 W) A "terrific kill" of geese is in prospect for hunters at the Summer lake public shoot ing grounds this week-end, last of the late waterfowl season.

The long - time cage mentor pointed out that slight differ ences in the way officials call "traveling," dribbling and bodily contact in basketball games has long given the home team an advantage. Play be tween northern and southern representatives of the confer ence will help get the same in terpretation used throughout the conference. Price said. He also stressed the need for conferences such as the basket ball coaches held recently at Sun Valley, Idaho. "Although there is some tendency for coaches to use 'home-town officiating' as an alibi, it is still true that some rules are interpreted differ ently in the southern and northern divisions," Price told the sports writers organization. Price also said that the inter-division competitions gave the players and coaches a chance to know the teams from the other half of the conference that might be representing the con ference in the national playoffs. hpBasketball; Scoreboard By the Associated Press) COLLEGE SCOBES Washlniton 5t California 81 Stanford S3 oreaon 4S Oreeon state 48 Portland 44 British Columbia 48 Pacific Lutheran 47 Montana State 88 Whltworth S9 St. Martln'a 48 Pacific Colleie 13 Southern Oregon 8S Chico State 57 Boise J.

"The Yankees," said the statement, "do not. deny that they have entered into con tract negotiations with Di Maggio and others.

The Yankees, therefore, have no comment to make on reports mentioning specific salary terms." DiMaggio, winner of the American league's most valuable player award for 1947, is in town for the holidays. He concurred in the announcement that his ne gotiations with the club would be conducted in secrecy. When he accepts terms, the club will make the announcement. Most baseball men believe the big fellow will be satisfied if he can get somewhere close to $60, 000. He received $42,000 last season. At the same time the contract statement was issued, the Yan kees denied a report that Ed ward G.

S. district court against Nationwide Air Transport Service, Inc., for injuries to Pep in a plane crash near Millville, N. J., last January.

The com plaint said Pep was injured seriously, was unable to box from January 5 to August 27 of last year and was permanently affected by the crash.
