Brings 48-37 Victory
Moscow, Idaho, Jan. 24 (JP)
An airtight zone defense gave
Oregon State a 48-37 northern
division basketball win from
the victory less Idaho Vandals
last night.
The verdict left the Beavers
in third place in the conference
with a 3-3 record, a full game
behind Washington State and
two games down to leading

The Beaver zone set up a
17-5 lead early in the game.
After that, OSC switched to

quintets matched baskets
pretty much throughout the
evening. j
Halftime score favored the
Beavers 19-11.
Dick Ballantyne, OSC guard
led the individual parade with
1 1 points, two more than
Idaho's Sam Jenkins.
The same two teams meet

Portland, Ore., Jan. 24 W)
Portland Matchmaker Tex
Salkeld today said he had of
fered world heavyweight
champion Ezzard Charles A
June 28 date for proposed
title bout here against Joe Ka
hut, the Woodburn, Ore., "wal
loper." Salkeld said the date was

Mints. Be said the June 26
date was approved by Nation
al Boxing club officials and
that If the fight were held,
It would be out of doors.
Salkeld said Charles' man
agers were awaiting a decision
from Joe Louis on whether
he will fight Charles this sum
mer, before they decide on
the Portland bout.
Hoover's Other Side
Former President Herbert Hoover on occasion shows a side of
his nature entirely foreign to what most people believe. One of
tnese occurred during the ceremony held in New York City when
Bud Wilkinson of Oklahoma was honored for his "coach of the
year" status. Robert Ruhl, Medford Mail-Tribune publisher who
is spending the winter on the Atlantic coast, in writing of the
event to his paper, declares "this facet of his (Hoover's) nature
as far as the undersigned is aware has never before been pub
licity revealed."
Ex-President Makes Talk
"Aside from the pleasure of such an occasion, one reason for
my being here tonight", said the former president, "is escape .
into a sanctuary where regimentation, unbalanced budgets,
subsidies, income tax, foreign relations, coal strikes, war,
murrain none of them, not one ot them are on this program.
Also In the old reactionary times over half a century ago
I had a managerial connection with a football team. That was
the year of the first game between Stanford, a new univer
sity, and the University of California. We did not have a
coach simply because there was not eough money in the
treasury to buy a full assortment of armored equipment,
which our teams seemed to think they must have. However,
as we approached the first 'big game', by pledging our hopes
of gate receipts, we were able to persuade an athletic goods
house to let us have some nice bright outfits.
Have Their Troubles '
"We had our troubles that day. We were playing the game in
San Francisco at the Haight. Street baseball park. We hoped there
might be 10,000 people attending and we had printed that
number of tickets. But soon after the gates opened the tickets
were all. sold and the fans still continued to come. In those times,
we in the West were still in the blissful period of hard money.
Managed currency had not come on us. Nor had we heard of the
social advancement from a -tax on gate receipts. However, being
without tickets we took in hard cash. The gold and silver piled
upon us until it overflowed onto the floors. Then one of our boys
gave free entrance to a housewife from across the street for the
loan of a wash boiler and some dishpans into whichfwe put our
money.
Vik Grapplers

Salem high school's' grapplers

tive win Monday night at the

the Newberg Tiger matmen.

Money Everywhere
"The Berkeley manager and I had never seen so much
money ever before. Not being satisfied to trust anyone with
such a gigantic sum, we sat up until 3 o'clock in the morning
and counted every dime of it. The bank counted it all over
again the next morning and found $18 more. But the sum
was over $25,000. And that brings me to my point: We were
now financially able to engage Walter Camp from Yale as
coach for the next year. That began his long career on the
Pacific coast. Had your organization been alive at that time,
I surmise you would have paid Walter Camp the great trib
ute to Mr. Charles Wilkinson in which be join tonight.
Where's the Ball?
"One of my other pains at that first game was when the teams
came onto the field to play, the Captains demanded to know
where the football was! There was none. We had to delay the
game a half hour while we sent downtown to get the vital instru
ment. I credited this error to the U C. manager and he credited
it to me. But Stanford, to our utter surprise, won the game."
Hawaii Interested
From Tony Fraiola, former Willamette university foot
ball guard, comes the information that at least a portion of
Hawaii is interested in seeing Willamette's football squad in
action there. Fraiola, now attached to a high school physical
education staff at Oahu, sends a clipping that "the 442nd Vet
erans club think that organization would do well to spon
sor a game between Willamette and the University of Hawaii."

Emigh Dickers for Two
cuthpaws and Infielder
Negotiations for an infielder
and two left handed pitchers
are being carried on by George
Emigh, business manager of
the Salem Senators, who ex
pressed his determination to
have a strong mound staff for
the 1950 Western International
league season.
Since no contracts have been
signed in either ease, names
of the prospective players are
not being released. Then, too,
confirmation of deals wil be
discussed with Ad Liska, re
cently named player manager.
The Senators will probably
train on the Oregon State col
lege campus if permission can
be obtained. Conditions there
have been satisfactory during
the past two seasons.
Whether Ray McNulty, Cal
Mclrvin, Bob Drilling or John
Burack will be available to the
Senators for the approaching
season, depends upon action of
the Portland Beavers who own
their contracts.
Outfield fnces at Waters park
park may be brought in a few
feet as result of recent storms.
Sections of the left and right
field wall were blown out,
making it convenient to relo
cate them, if such action is de
cided upon.
Few evidences of last fall's
football games remain on the
field, since the ground has
been reworked and worn
spots reseeded.

Game Commission
Calls for Tags
From Elk Hunts
Less than half of the hnntrri
who purchased elk tags last sea
son have maileri their h nntinrf
reports to the game commission,
C. A. Lockwood, state game di-'
rector reports. Lockwood points
out that these reDorts are rp.
quired by law and are also of
vital necessity for the proper
management of the biff came
herds.
Of the 18,980 elk hunters
checking in so far, 7,257 have
reported making kills, and 9,
104 were unsuccessful. Another
619 indicated they did not hunt..
Lockwood believes that the
late season in the Baker area!
running until December 31,
probably had some bearing on
the lack of reports, bu t ho
stated, too, that many deer hunt
ers have also failed to report.
If the report card has been mis
laid, a letter will do. explains
Lockwood.
George Smith Michigan Slate
