Next week-end Boston, Mass.,
will be a typical example of the
dilemma that li going on in the
mind of the average American
sports fan these days. Friday
night on the Braves Field grid
iron, Coach Denny Meyers' Bos
ton College "Eagles" will play
host to Bud Wilkinson's Sugar
Bowl Champion Oklahoma
"Sooneri," while the following
afternoon, less than a mile away
in Fenway Park, the Boston
Red Sox and the New York
Yankees will be battling It out
for the leadership In the Ameri
can league baseball race. In
the midst of this situation the
pleasant assignment of endeav
oring to accurately predict each
Saturday s outcome has again
fallen to us. Realizing that to
maintain perfect record is an
impossibility in this precarious
profession we shall do our ut
most to better our last falls
percentage of .8055.
Great Year
From all sections of the
country comes word that this
may be football's greatest
year In many respects.
One thing Is certain, in our
opinion, and that Is that 1949
will be the game's greatest
year from a spectator's stand
point. Due to the widespread
success achieved by Michigan,
N o rt h Carolina, Southern
Methodist, and California, the
Single Wing his resumed Ha
rightful status In national pig
skin prominence. Army,
Northwestern, Georgia, and
Notre Dame continue to give
"T" formation advocates much
to shout about, while the ama
zing results earned by Bud
Wilkinson at Oklahoma, Don
Faurot at Misaouri, and Jim
Tatum at Maryland, give tha
Spilt "T" top billing In this
three ring offensive circus.
In all Instances, the fan la
the big winner because when
ever a new offensive aetup Is
installed the coach does every
thing possible to add Innova
tiona that will make It more
pleasing to the observers. Our
tour of various coaching clin
ics proved to us that the main
problem confronting the ma
jority of eoachrs In America
is how to devise an offense
that will be well received by
the people In the atanda and
still win football games.
Sport headlines aross the na
tion will not substitute "punts
and passes for "balls and
strikes" until September 14th
but tonight and tomorrow will
provide us with enough contests
in various sectors to commence
our 1949 predictions.

"Red" Sanders and Laverne
"Kip" Taylor will receive
their baptism of fire In new
coaching positions tonight as

Underdog Vikings Hope for
Upset in Vancouver Game
Lettermen All
The 1949 Viking gridiron ma
chine will take its baptism Fri
day night In Kiggins bowl at
Vancouver, Wash., as an under
dog against the Trappers, with
hopes of an upset victory.
The underdog rating of the
Vikings was listed in Vancou
ver despite the loss of their first
string quarterback, Bob Hop
kins, because of illness, and the
fact that their high gear back
field will be operating behind a
green line.
Coach Loren Mort, who
along with the Salem high
team, will be out to even
counts for the 38-0 defeat
which the Trappers dished out
to the Vikings last season.
To suport his plot, Mort will
be able to throw 17 lettermen
at the Trappers along with a
good number of promising sophs
and juniors.
A 31-man squad of Vikings
left Salem early this afternon
for the trip to Vancouver for
the initial engagement of the
year.
Next Friday, the Salem high
team will uveil their wares
for Salem fans against the
Klamath Falls Pelicans in their
first game to be played at
Waters park.

Saltzman Wins No. 22
(By the AwoclaUd PrCM)
The Pacific coast league
stretch race today Is back in the
ncck-and-neck stage. Chief
reason for some is that San

for a 3-2 win although Holly

Ths Seals, meanwhile, were
able to collect only five bingles
off Willard Ramsdell and John
Roy.
The Oaks walloped the An
gels .for the third straight
time. Oakland exploded for
ix runs In the sixth and went
en to win. 12 to 5. Billy (The
Kid) Martin climaxed the big
Inning with a grand slam
homer.
Hal Saltzman of Portland
eopped win No. 22 as his Bea
vers pounded four San Diego
pitchers for 13 hits and a 9-5
win. The Beavers hit three
homers and the Padres two In
the free-hitting contest. Max
West's grand slammer was his
46th of the year.
Sacramento's Orv Grove
yielded but six hits in pitching
the Solons to a 6-1 victory over
Seattle. The Rainiers" only run
came on Neil Sheridan's 14th
homer. He later was banished
for kicking his glove when
Grove struck him out in the
eighth.
Tonight's schedule and prob
able pitchers:
Hollywood (Pinky Woods 21
12) at San Francisco (Al Lien
17-15).

Ben Hogan, non-playing
captain of the American team,
forced the Britishers to alter
their clubs when he filed a

grooves were too deep in the
clubs and were illegal.
Tournament officials upheld
the protest, and the British

Even Coach Mort can't tell these two
apart. They are Dwaine (36) and

Both sophomores, the twins spell trouble and confusion for
