Vik Cagers Await Astoria,
Take Loop Win from Millers
The oldest high school athle
He rivalry In Oregon renews It
self on the Salem high floor at
8:15 Saturday night when Sa
lem and Astoria tangle in the
60th game of their aged fend.
The Saiem-Astoria series will
be all tied up at 25 games apiece
should the Vikings come through
with a victory tonight. The rec
ord now reads 25 wins for Asto
ria and 24 for Salem.
Coach Harold Hauk's Norse
men continued their torrid
pace in the Big Six derby with
a convincing 57-41 triumph
over Springfield in the south
ern city Friday night.
Salem was out front all the
way. It was 16-4 at the end of
the first quarter and 27-11 at
halftime. The only Springfield
surge of the game came too late.
The Millers hit a hot streak to
rack up 11 counters in the final
3 minutes of play.
Layton Cislon, playing on
ly his second game as a mem
ber of the Vikings' starting
five, again paced the Salem
team in the scoring depart
ment. Gilson dropped in four
field goals and a trio of free
throws for 11 counters.
Top scorer for the game, how
ever, was Springfield'! Jim Fort,
with 13 tallies. f

First Negro at OSC?
Although Oregon State hai never had a definite regulation
against the use of Negroes in athletics, it has been pretty well
understood that their competlon was not encouraged. Now there
is the possibility that Art Shepherd, Benson Tech graduate,
playing for Vanport college, may enroll at the Beaver institu
tion next year. Shepherd is reported as being exceptionally fast
and a good shot and an outstanding collegiate irospect in bas
ketball. And couldn't Slats Gill use a man of Shepherd's ability
right nowl When the University of Indiana recently sent Us
cage squad west, it included Bill Garrett, the first Negro ever to
play for the Hoosiers.
Admits No Handicap
What Michigan State needs on Its basketball squad Is
more one-eyed men and fewer boys with 20-20 vision,
Judging by the experience of this year's Spartan club. Mich
igan State won but two games out of its first dozen starts
even though 10 or 12 members of the squad have "perfect"
vision. The nlaycr Inrelv respnns) lp .or the two 'iclones
through scoring sprees of 17 and 34 points, has only 10 per
cent vision In his right eye. lie is Bill Kapchak, veteran
senior forward whose bad eye dates from an automobile
accident suffered when but five years old. However, in spite
of this handicap he plavrd brilliantly In high school. His
34 points against Marquette was a new all-time single record
for the Spartans. lie has never worn glasses and makes a
specialty of one hand set shots from outside the enemy's de
fenses, where sharp vision and particularly distance per
ception through use of two good eyes are highly important.
Storm Damages
Messed up basketball schedules does not constitute the only
storm damage during the month of January. There are the
golf courses, for instance. "Might as well forget golf for the
weekend," remarked Bill Goodwin, local realtor and prominent
in the Salem Men's club at he viewed the "beautiful snow"
Friday morning. Perhaps some one wMI develop a golf ball with
a brilliant red hue color with a tail attached that will mark
the spot where it descends. Such a contraption might look a
bit odd sailing through the air but it might keep the club
swingers active. And to think, chambers of commerce have long
bragged about year around golf in the Willamette vallcyl
Legion Junior Baseball
Ignoring the white covering now with us, the junior
American Legion baseball committee comes forth with the
announcement that an organitation session will be held
February 27 at the club on South Commercial street. No
thing like getting an early start.
Globe Trotters to Draw
Providing they are not snow bound somewhere at the time,
prospects for a capacity crowd In Willamette's gym next Mon
day night when the Harlem Globetrotters put on theli show are
about 100 percent. A motion picture film showing the colored
boys in their various antics currently going the rounds, has
stimulated Interest in the performance, no end. While show
men of the first class, the 'Trotters are all expert basketball
players as their .931 average for 22 seasons well indicates. Their
high mark came in the 1933-34 season when they won an in
credible 152 out of 154 games. The low was in 1941-42, the
first war year, when the average dropped to .882. Naturally
the personnel of the traveling troupe changes from year to
year since a member of the first team back in 1927-28 could
not be expected to take part in 150 or more amct a season
now. Playing night after night, there is no need for practice.
Last season the 'Trotters toured Alaska under army sponsor
ship and played 14 games within five days with thousands of
miles of air travel sandwiched in between. They won all of them,
too.

Sportsmen Protest
April 15th Date
For Trout Season
Portland, Jan. 28 OP) Sports
fishermen protested here yes
terday a proposal to open the
trout season in coastal streams
April 15.
They told the state game
commission, which tentative
ly suggested the date, that the
opening was too early. Last
year the date was June 15.
The protests came princi
pally from the Multnomah
Anglers and Hunters club and
the Izaak Walton League of
Eugene.
Mert Foltz of the Eugene
group also insisted that the
steelhead season on the Nes
tucca river should close Feb.
28, as last year, instead of be
ing extended to March 15.
Foltz also argued for a uni
form opening date on trout
in the Willamette basin. He
pointed out that the McKen
zie river opening tentatively
was set for May 15, while
other streams in the area were '
scheduled for April 15.
Demaret Leads

On Two Strokes
Phoenix, Ariz., Jan. 28 W)
Jimmy Demaret, his golf as fan

two-stroke lead in the $10,000
Ben Hogan open today and sees
his luck returned;
The Ojai, Calif., veteran who
hasn't won a tournament since
beating Hogan in the 1949 play
off here, goes into today's third
round with a 131, two strokes
better than Johnny Palmer of
Badin, N. C.
Bantam Ben, the comeback
man in whose honor they nam
ed this event, skidded over par
figures yesterday and found
himself with a 138, five strokes
off the pace but not out of the
running.
He had no excuses.
"I felt fine. I just didn't play
very good golf," he said in the
locker room.

setbacks and the second defeat
for Washington in seven starts.
Forward Paul Sowers' one
hander broke a 17-all tie in the
first half to give Oregon a lead
it kept.
The usually high-scoring
Huskies were effectively bot
tled by the Ducks' shifting de
fense which changed from a
man-to-man in the outcourt to
a zone under the basket.
Oregon catapulted from a 28-
23 halftime lead to 43-29 after
seven minutes of the second half
with Guard Jack Keller and So
wers teaming up for nine bas
kets. But Washington's Forward La
don Henson and Guard Louie So
riano sparked a Husky rally to
cut the margin to 46-41 after 11
minutes. With six minutes to go
the Washington tide was within
four points, 43-47, but couldn't
flood the hometown club.
Husky Center Duane En
ochs fouled out in the first
half, handicapping the Seattle
ites in the reach department.
Keller took scoring honors
with 16 points as Sowers made
13 on the Oregon side. Henson's
14 led the Huskies with Frank
Guisness' 13 next in line.
The teams play again tonight

With Her Aim So
Good He'd Have
To Be Careful!
Tampa, Fla., Jan. 28 (IP)
Lik; Calamity Jane who was a
pretty fair hand at outshoot
ing the men, Mrs. Ruth Ray of
Eugene, Ore., can do a little
boasting over males in general
and her husband in particular.
She and hubby, Cal, tied for
second place at 248 in the 16
yard singles competition of
the national midwinter trap
shoot. Then in the shoot-off
yesterday she shattered 25
straight targets.
Maybe it was nerves, or let
ting wifey have the last say
but the head of the family
missed two.
Santa Anita Biz
Shows Decline

club's controller. The average
bettor this year is wagering only
S55.75 a day, compared to $59.63
last year.
Then, too, the average daily
attendance for the first 20 days
of the present meeting is down
from 25,155 to 24,623.
Controller Robert E. King
told the state assembly interim
committee on taxation yester
day that tracks cannot stand
another tax dig. But his figures
showed that stockholders of the
turf club received $1,000 on
each $5,000 par value share last
year.

Bearcats Face Crucial
With Badgers Saturday
One of those "crucial" ses
sions that bob up now and then
in most sports, is due to be hoop
ed off on Willamette university's
basketball court at 8 o'clock Sat
urday night.
Coach Johnny Lewis' Bear
cats and the Pacific University
Badgers will provide the enter
tainment. If the Badgers, now
breathing down the Bearcats'
necks, take the affair, the two
quints will be tied for leader
ship of the Northwest confer
ence. Willamette had had a tough
week. Last Monday they suf
fered their first defeat of the
conference season when they
bumped up against a red hot
Whitman quint at Walla Wal
la. Then Thursday night they
were smothered by the Stew
art Chevrolets of San Fran
cisco. In the meantime the
'Cats have been wondering
whether they would be able to
pass the mid year scholastic
tests.

Exam Silence to End as
College Teams Square Off
New York, Jan. 28 (U.R) The
period of quiet imposed on the
college basketball front by ex
amination week will be shatter
ed tonight as crowds jam arenas
in every section of the country
for one of the largest Saturday
night programs of the season.
And, although many confer
ence games are on tap, the
night's highlights are likely to
come from two non-league dou
bleheaders one in Chicago and
the other in San Francisco.
One of the Chicago games is a
repeat affair between North
western and Notre Dame with
the Wildcats out to repeat their
earlier 66-56 victory over the
Irish. But Notre Dame has im
proved since that game, hitting
its peak in a win over Kentucky,
and a top-notch scrap was the
prospect.
The other windy city game
matches DePaul and the Okla
homa Aggies, both highly rated
nationally, in a renewal of a ri
valry that became famous when
George Mikan was performing
for DePaul and Bob Kurland for
the Aggies. The DePaul Demons
were the favorites.
The University of San Fran
cisco Dons, who trounced
Southern California last night,
55 to 41, will be out for an
other scalp at San Francisco
