OCE Rooks Slap Dovn Vik
Rallies to Take 47-41 Win
Inability to connect Irom the
free throw line, plus too much
Bob Adrian, proved disastrous
for the Salem Vikings Tuesday
night as Oregon State college's
Rooks rung up a 47-41 victory on
the SHS floor.
It was Salem's first loss at the
Vik Villa since losing to Jeffer
son of Portland in December,
1848.
Adrian, dcadeye center from
West Linn, who specializes In
a lethal hook shot, paced the
Rook triumph with 18 count
ers. Benny Fitzer, a rene
gade from last season's Vik
ings, hemped 11, the same
number scored by Salem's
Larry Chamberlain.
But hardest pain for the Viks
to endure was their own wild-
ness from the foul line. Salem
sunk but 13 of 31 chances. On
the other hand, the Rooks made
11 of 18 tosses.
The first half was an all-Rook
affair, and as the teams left the
floor for intermission, the col
legians held an apparently com
fortable 28-17 lead.
As the third canto got under
way, Irv Lahtl rammed in a lay
up to boost the visitors' margin
to 30-17, and the game had all
the appearances of a Rook rout.
But the Vikings had other
Ideas. With Doug Rogers and
Jim Rock leading the way,
Salem rallied to draw up to
within 34-28 of the OSC year-

lings. As the third period
ended, it was 36-29.
Salem gave the small but en
thusiastic crowd something to
yell about in the early stages of
the fourth period. The first thrill
came when Chamberlain whip
ped a strictly sensational pass to
Rogers, who quickly converted
it to a field goal.
Adrian countered with a pivot
shot from the key to give the
Rooks a 38-31 lead. Then the
Viks unleashed their most seri
ous threat of the game.
Wayne Walling brought the
gallery to their collective feet
with a southpaw pivot shot from
in close. A few seconds later
the same Mr. Walling leaped up
out of a congestion of players,
managed to twist around in the
direction of the basket, and flip
ped in another field goal.
The crowd went wild . . . ab
solutely, positively, literally
wild. It was then 38-35.
The Rooks called for time
out, their sixth of the game.
That cost Coach Paul Valen
ti's crew a technical foul.
Daryl Girod stepped to the
foul line and sank the effort
that made it 36-38 before
the crowd had settled down
from Waiting's bucket.
But that was as close as Salem
got. Carlyle Staab and Adrian
plunked in two-pointers for the
visitors to make it 43-36, and
Salem spent the final four min
utes in a futile effort to get back
within striking distance.

By OSCAR FRALEY
(United Praia Sport Writer)
New York, Feb. 1 U,R The
light heavyweight champion.
hip was a pawn today in the
heavyweight jockeying which
started when Joe Louis retired
and it left such deserving 175
pounders as Tommy Yarosz
hanging hopelessly on the ropes.
Yarosz is a rangy 27-year-old
from Monaco, Pa., a pleasant,
modest fellow who doesn't mod
el for the punched pattern of a
prize fighter. Yet Hint's all Tom
my knows, coming from a fam
ily of six fighting brothers, and
at the moment he is a man sty
mied by ring politics.
Last year when Freddie
Mills held the light heavy
weight crown, Yarosz made
trip to England to fight Aus
tralian Dave Sands. He was
a 4 to 1 underdog but, using
the boxing finesse of a Tun
ney, he upset the odds. Train
er Ray Arcel, one of the best
in the business, immediately
went after Mills but the slug
ging Britisher wanted no part
of a man with Tommy's fi
nesse. Meanwhile, Joey Maxim won
the "American" light heavy
weight title from Gus Lesnevich
and used it as a lever to force
a fight with Mills. Since knock
ing out the Englishman, Max
im is heavyweight -minded.
Mills refused to risk the light
heavy crown for more than a
year.
Maxim is going to be just as
unavailable!
He'll use that light heavy
weight championship as an add
ed attraction to get a big heavy
weight gate against such as Ez
zard Charles.
Meanwhile, Yarosz, and all
the other hopeful light heavies,
will wait and wait.
Tommy is used to It by now,
though. He has been waiting
since he was 12 to be a cham
pion. Those were the days when
bis brother, Teddy, was the mid
dleweight champion of the
world and Tommy haunted the
gymnasiums.
"It was a fighting family,
all the way through," the
slender Arccl explained.
"Their mother was a widow
and they had to do something.
And they're all real fighters,
too.
"You want to know how real?
Well, I'll tell you," he added.
"In September of 1935, Teddy
lost the middleweight title to
Babe Risko. He tore a ligament
in his leg and it looked like he
was through for good. Teddy
went to the Mayo clinic and
then had an operation. After
wards he couldn't bend the
knee.
I m in Stiilman s gym one
day around Christmas and Ted
dy comes hobbling in with i
cane and a steel brace on his
leg and he says: 'I got to get a
fight.' I ask him how he's gonna
fight and he says: 'I got to. The
kids at home have to eat'."
Fifteen years before that,
Freddie Welsh, the former
lightweight champion, told Ar
cel how he had helped his war
time major recover from a leg
wound.
"I remembered that, and I
worked with Teddy starting
right after New Year's," Arcel
recalled. "I put a two pound
weight on his foot and made
him do calisthenics. I added
weight until he had 16 pounds
hanging from that foot and the
knee bent. Wo massaged it and
gave it heat treatments. Not
many fighters would have gone
through that pain and torture.
"But Teddy was back fighting
again on May 19," Arcel smiled.
"That's what those kids are
made of courage, will and determination."

Game Men Veto 'Airlift'
Feed for Tillamook Deer
A search for pocketed deer
herds in the Tillamook burn
area carried out by plane early
this week revealed that the
animals were well scattered
in the lower canyons and
along the timber and brush
fringe areas. Decision was
reached by the state game
commission that an airlift of
deer feed would not be practi
cal or necessary at this time.
In the recent burn area
near Willamina no deer were
seen. The deer, although ex
periencing some difficulty In
traveling in general, seemed
to be in areas that offered
ample brouse.
The flight was carried out
by Jim Negley, district game
agent, and Bob Earl of Mc
Minnville. Only 12 players participated
in every game their teams play
ed during the four year history
of the AU-American pro football
conference.
