The Portlanders went out in front only once In the game. That was in the slow-moving ilrst quarter when their lanky center, Max Anderson, collected a gift shot and followed by a rebound shot. At that time, the Democrats led, 3-1. Wayne Walling knotted the count with a tip-in, and Daryl Girod, captain of the Vikings, put his crew in front on a long set shot from the corner on a play which saw Doug Rogers screen two Portlanders. The first quarter ended 11-8 in favor of the locals. Salem was ahead 26 to 16 at the half, and by the third quarter buzzer, their lead was increased to 37-21. Two of the Portland team were benched in the second half when they collected their full total on personal fouls. Lost for the remainder of the game were Earl Enos and Dale Brethover.

Oregon State College, Cor vallis, Dec. 31 Oregon Stale's basketball team will open the defense of its Northern division championship against the team generally favored to win the ti tle this winter Washington State's talent-laden Cougars in Gill coliseum here next Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Both games will start at 8 p.m. The Cougars, who were run-ners-up to the Orange last win ter, are rated much stronger this year. In addition to agile Ed Gayda, one of the top hoop hands on the Pacific slope last campaign, Coach Jack Friel has three of the best sophomore prospects in the conference. They include Gene Conlcy, 6 foot, 7 inch young giant at cen ter; Ted Tappo, fancy shooting forward; and George Rosser, a sensation at forward for the Cougar Frosh last winter. Gayda poured 212 points through the hemp in 16 northern division contests last season for a 13.2 average and probably gave the Beavers more trouble than any other individual faced all year. He also is an outstanding defens ive player. Friol's probable starting line up will have Gayda and Rosser at forwards; Conley, center, and Tappe and Letterman Leon Mangis at guards. The second unit of his platoon setup will have Gordon Brunswick and Bob Gambold at forwards; Ron Button, center; and Lloyd Schmick and Jim Howell, guards.

By FRED ZIMMERMAN, Capital Journal Sports Editor Wolves Howl at Stanford Evidently it is going to take something more substantial in the athletic line than "character building" to keep the wolves off the trail of Coach Marchie Schwartz and his associates at Stanford university. Columnists in the Stanford Daily, campus publication, are asking embarrassing questions such as Why does Stanford always end up 'lacking the depth', 'Not having the push up front' or 'lacking the horses?'" "Horses?' We got 'em!" exclaims John Hall of the Daily. "Maybe Stanford needs somebody to saddle 'em. Sometimes a change in jockeys can turn a plug into a Seabiscuit. Sometimes doesn t. Some times it just takes a long time to get started." Let's Look at the Record "If Schwartz and his staff are judged to be getting the best possible results, then give them a vote of confidence and get behind them," Hall's dissertation continues. "If not, as past records seem to indicate, remove them or see that necessary changes are made. Since taking over as headman in 1942, Schwartz has in five years won only 22, lost 25 and tied 2. Even Tiny Thornhlll, whose record during his last five years was considered to be the poorest in Stanford's foot ball history, was not that bad. In that period, Thornhill won 18, lost 21 and tied 5. And Tiny, at least, had three earlier Rose Bowl teams to fall back. on." Lack of Material Touching upon the "lack of material" argument advanced lin some quarters, Hall says he "can't go along with that. Stan ford has had three straight undefeated frosh teams, has not lost Jayvee game to California in three seasons and has received its share of the best JC transfers in these parts." Low in spots in the Schwartz regime are listed as: loss of every game in 1947, including a 19-16 loss to Idaho; uninspired and sloppy play through 1948; seemingly unnecessary losses in 1948 to Washington Slate and Santa Clara, games in which Stanford "turned in poor, listless football;" a pathetic intersectional record, with a 43-0 loss to Army and 49-13, and 27-7 losses to Michigan as stand-, outs; this season's loss to UCLA. 14 to 7. If Hall's article re flects the sentiment around the Palo Alto campus then it appears It will take more than an "He loses But They Love Him" article such as appeared in the Sateve Post to keep Marchie on the pay roll much longer. Attacks Bowls r-harrins- that thev are "not college controlled, are some times of dubious nature, and unduly prolong the annual fall hysteria built up around football", President William S. Carlson of the University of Delaware would abolish all "bowl" contests. He waxes warm over the issue In Collier's "This carnival of prostituted education has mushroomed from a single bowl, affiliated with California's Pasadena Tourna ment of Roses," Carlson writes. "I find not an iota of justifi cation for the educational goals of a genuine college or uni versity in abetting these promotions." Carlson blames him self and other college presidents for the swollen importance allotted to post-season games. "College football Is a by-product of our system of higher education, and we ought to look upon it honestly and frankly as as commodity we are retail ing." He charges that the spirit of the game has been kid napped from the players as another sacrifice to victory, which he says is the essential ingredient for box office success. "I contend the price is too great. The game has been aborted from the original fine objective until It is purely business. It is becoming more so, as fast as we can contrive it." Prexy Pasadena, Calif., Dec. 31 (UP.) Trained to the p e a k of their abilities, t h e Buckeyes of Ohio State and California's Golden Bears today anxious ly awaited their clash Monday In the 36th annual Rose Bowl football game. Both teams were fired up for the encounter before an expected 100,000 fans in the famed stadium. It will be the fourth meeting between rep resentatives of the Big Ten and the Pacific Coast confer ence in their current Rose Bowl pact. For California the game was a return engagement and an opportunity to make up for its defeat last year by North western, 20 to 14, In one of the hardest-fought Rose Bowl games. Ohio State has not appear ed in the Rose Bowl since 1921 when a Buckeye team was defeated by California, 28 to 0. That was the only setback ever suffered by a Big Ten team in the annual classic here, and the current Ohio State team was anxious to erase that stigma. The game pita teams that appear almost equally match ed In manpower. California has a slight weight edge In the line but Ohio State's backfleld is a little heavier. Despite the loss of Its star halfback, Jack Swaner, Cali fornia remained a six-point favorite to beat the Buckeyes, the favoritism stemming chief ly from the backfield wizard ry of Quarterback Bob Celeri. Although Ohio State's Fan del Savic has performed ex cellently as quarterback, ha was not considered the match of Celeri whose ball-handling !.as left opponents bewildered and unable to find the man with the pigskin until too late. Thirty-five states and Canada have been represented on De Paul university's basketball schedule since the 1923-24 season.

Webf oot Jinx Catches Up in Overtime Loss Madison, Wis., Dec. 31 W) Even in an overtime tilt the Uni versity of Oregon couldn't shake off its basketball jinx, losing 69- 70 to the University of Iowa last night. The Ducks were a much im proved team, however, from that which lost 81-54 to Iowa at Iowa City earlier in the week. They got off to a 6-0 lead and after Iowa tied the count at 10-10, went ahead again 33-29 at the half. It was a nip-and-tuck affair in the second half with Ore gon in front and Iowa the team that had to catch up. Not until the last five minutes could they do it, and then the Hawks took a four-point mar gin 57-53. Oregon went right back into the lead and had a one-field-goal edge with 16 seconds left. Iowa center Frank Calsbeek caged one that sent the game into overtime 61-61. In the extra session, Iowa grabbed the lead and in the last half-minute Oregon promised to overcome it as Mel Krause, Will Urban and Jack Keller put on drive, but fell one point short.
