Series with 51-21 Victory
The Vikings held a one-game
lead today in the long-standing
basketball series between Salem
and Astoria when they brought
home a 51-21 victory. Salem
now has 26 wins compared with
25 for the Fishermen.
The victory Friday night gave
the Vikings a sweep of the 1950
series which was cut to two
games because of weather con
ditions. The Salem quintet took
the first contest last Saturday
by a score of 44-32.

Keep Highways Clean
The state of Oregon has capitalized on its scenery, and right
fully so, but the lack of consideration many people have for our
roadside beauty has always been a source of annoyance to this
writer. In this connection we were pleased ,to hear Mark H
Astrup, head landscaper for the state highway department, issue
a plea during a talk before the Salem Rotary club for cooper
sVion in keeping roadsides free from paper and similar objec
tionable materials. He suggested parents might talk it over with
fjitir youngsters, but, we fear, too many of the adults do not
always set a good example.
Due to Carelessness
Virtually every motorist has himself been guilty of toss
ing a paper sack, an empty cigarette container of bottles
onto the aprons of the right of way. If not himself an of
fender, he has seen the driver of a preceding vehicle dis
tribute debris in an indiscrimate manner. The materials
could just as well been wadded up, placed on the floor of
the automobile and taken home to be disposed of in a man
ner that would not be offensive to fellow travelers. As for
the fellow who dumps sacks or boxes containing tin cans and
refuse along the right of way, he certainly needs a lot of
education to say the least. Astrup told the Rotarians it costs
the highway department $20,000 a year to clean up after
thoughtless or careless motorists. The state is now engaged
in establishing roadside picnic areas. It is to be hoped
that those folk for whom they are being constructed will
realize that others will want to take advantage of their
facilities.
As for Cold Weather
We heard Carl Charlton, member of the Salem force of
gendarmes remark "this is just about as cold as it was out at
Waters park during the early part of last baseball season."
Having been there and suffered along with the others we are
willing to sign an affidavit .that Carl is right. The only difference
there wasn't any snow on the ground last April. 'Tis said that
snow is a "poor man's fertilizer" so a lot of us should be quite
a bit richer in this connection. . . . Another low temperature
item: Bill Bowes of Salem, captain of the Oregon State varsity
ski team, ran away with individual honors in connection with
the University of Portland intercollegiate meet but his team
had to be satisfied with third place as a whole. Bowes won
the slalom and the downhill portion of the program . . Nothing
like being prepared. Registrations for next summer's outing
at Camp Pioneer, Boy Scout center, are now being received at
local scout headquarters. Camp Pioneer no doubt is buried com
pletely by the winter's snows,
Volleyists Change Pilots
V . PI r I,. V.. Rnrriflr. Irnnwn i
Dr. L. E. Barrick, known
has asked to be relieved of the responsibilities connected
with the YMCA volleyball coaching position. He has sug
gested that Eric and Ray Shuberg, who came here from
Long Beach, Cal. take over the reins. "Doc", always in
terested in athletic projects of virtually all descriptions,
took over the Y volley ball club back in 1930 when matters
were at a low ebb. After a couple years spent in building
a squad, the club took the northwest titles in 1933 and 1934.
He was largely responsible for financing the trip the volley
ball club made to the national tournament held in San Fran
cisco in 1938. While "Doc" may be retiring from volley
leadership, we have a hunch he would like to take one
more crack at Lair Gregory's pitching. "Greg" was always a
soft touch for Barrick in those baseball games that featur
ed the so-called old timers.
Myers Goes Up
Bruce Myers, who as sports
Times has provided this writer with numerous material, has
become news editors of that publication. His promotion is a
well earned one and he takes over a position in which we are
ure he will make good. We will miss his column "Along the
Bench", but presume Hal Wehmeier, Myers' successor is capable
of filling the gap. '

LaMotta Clouts
For Ninth Round TK0
Detroit, Feb. 4 VP) Middle
weight Champion Jake LaMotta
came up last night with a two
fisted answer to those who said
he was slipping as a fighter.
The Bronx, N.Y., titleholder
hung up a ninth round technical
knockout over Dick Wagner of
Portland, Ore., in a bruising
battle at Olympia stadium.
It was supposed to be a fairly
easy go for Jake and Just the
first of a series of tuneup fights
for LaMotta's projected title de
fense in June.
But a crowd of 11,440 which
paid a gross gate of $25,902.52
saw the dead-g a m e Wagner
make a fight out of it until
2:40 of the ninth round when
Referee Clarence Rosen stopp
ed the massacre.
Wagner, who fights as a light
heavyweight, found himself in
the odd position of weighing
two pounds less than the middle
weight champ. LaMotta came in
at 170, the heaviest weight of
his pro fight career.
The one-time Oregon cow
hand wanted a v i c t o r y last
night as a wedding present for
Miss Elizabeth De Lillo, a
Hunter college, N.T., student
whom he will wed Feb. 19.
It was LaMotta's second bout
since he won the middleweight

The world ski championships
were shaping up today as the
same old story so far as the
Americans were concerned
they're being left far behind as
the Scandinavians from the lands
of snow swoop off with all the
prizes.
The Yanks drew a blank in
the Nordic combined event
which concluded yesterday and
they haven't much hope for a
better showing in the ski relay
tomorrow.
No competition is on to
day's program in the actual
world championships, but
there will be an international
invitation ski jumping con
test. Finns, Norwegians, and
Americans will vie in that, but
the two Swedes here will
watch from the sidelines be
cause they left their jumping
skis in Lake Placid, N. Y.

enter the invitation jump as last'
minute entries.
