Bearcats Even Score with
OCE in Rough, 59-49 Tilt
la Just about as rough a con
test ai one can aee during
season of basketball, Willamette
university's Bearcats declsloned
the Wolves from Oregon College
of Education Tuesday night, 59
49. Forty-three fouls were whis
tled and If the pair of referees
had wanted to be real technical
as many more could have been
called.
Coach Johnny Lewis pulled
something of a surprise in his
starting line up as he nominated
Al Fedje, Dan Montag, Chuck
Robinson, Claude Nordhill and
Pete Bryant to hold off the
Wolves. They immediately piled
up a 5-1 bulge which failed to
stand up and after Marv Hei
bert, Harrel Smith, Bruce
Moorehead and Bob Bushnell
had given the invaders a 14-8
advantage, Lewis quickly in
serted his first string.
The regulars had their hands
full and it was not until 17
minutes of the first half bad
elapsed that they managd to
pull up even at 23-all. as Hugh
Belinger, Ted Loder, Lou
Scrivens, Dick Brouwer and
Dour Logue all took a hand
in the point making.

but six coming in the final
period.
Jack Keller's 15 points were

Vikings Win See-Saw Go
From Spartans by 47 to 44
By DAVID BLACKMER
Corvallis Coach Harold
Hauk's Viking cage crew eked
out a 47-44 verdict over the Cor
vallis Spartans in a see-saw bat
tle Tuesday night. It was the
seventh loop win for Salem.
Layton Gilson highlighted the
Viking victory once more with
13 points.
In a rough and tough game,
which brought some 55 whistle
toots, the Vikings collected 29
fouls while the Spartans were
called on 26.
Salem jumped to a 3-0 lead
In the opening seconds of the
contest via a field goal and
gifter by Larry Chamberlain,
and Corvallis trailed, 10-6, at
the first stopping point.
In the second quarter, the Vik
margin was narrowed to one
point before the Haukmen hit
their stride and pulled away. The
count was 20-16 at half time.
During the third period, the
Spartans tied the score 23-23
after Gary Babcock staged a
scoring rally of two field goals
and a pair of free throws.
The Vikings went ahead again
on the combined efforts of Gil
son, Jim Rock and Chamber
lain each of whom canned a 2
pointer. At the end of the wild
period the Capital city crew held
a 31-29 lead.
After seven seconds of play
had been worked off in the clos
ing quarter the Vikings fell be
hind again following some sharp
shooting tactics by Don Taylor,
the Corvallis pivotman.
Salem had a tough time re
gaining the ownership of the
score again. Midway in the fi
nal period Gilson fired a set shot
and was fouled in the process.
With the field goal and gift shot
Gilson gave the Viks a momen
tary 37-35 lead.
Chamberlain, however, went
to work at that point He
put in a pair of shots from the
left side of the court to shove
Salem in the lead, and the
Viks held on until time ran
out for the Spartans.
Coach Loren Mort's junior
varsity quint spanked the Cor
vallis Spart B squad to the
tune of 42-32 in the preliminary
contest.
The Vikings hoopsters are idle
over the week-end and are slat
ed to resume action next Tues
day night when they tangle with
Albany Bulldogs on the Vik ma
ple boards.
No new developments con
cerning the proposal of a group
of Salem business men to operate
the Salem Senator franchise dur
ing the coming Western Interna
tional league season have been
announced.

to operate the club under the

Fan Survey Shows Ticket
Takers Suffer From Video
Washington, Feb. 8 VP) The
television screen may frame a
gloomy picture for sdmission
charging athletic events in days
to come.
A survey of the habits of 400
TV set-owning families in Wash
ington shows that mom, dad,
son and sis would rather stay
home and view sports via the
video scheen than go to the
event itself.
The survey was taken by

Newark, Del. . W) The new
addition to the University of Del
aware's Carpenter Field house
will bustle with activity this
spring. Drills in lacrosse, base
ball, football and track will be
held in the spacious, dirt-floor,
hangar-type building.
Charles Alldredge, head of a
Washington public relations
firm. Alldredge does not dispute
the fact that in some sports at
tendance has hit all-time highs
since the advent of television.
He only reports what sports fans
say they do after they own a
video set.
Alldredge said the average
television owner put it this way:
'Even though I'm an avid
sports fan and have been attend
ing football and baseball games
for years, I'd rather stay at home
now that I own a set. Especially
when the weather is bad."
According to his findings.
Alldredge said, sports attendance
by the owners of TV sets has
fallen off this much: Football 40
per cent; baseball 38.7 per cent;
wrestling and boxing 44.7 per
cent.
Age Creeps Up on Jersey
Joe in Battle Wednesday
Philadelphia, Feb. 8 Wi
Jersey Joe Walcott shuffles into
the arena ring here tonight to
see if there's boxing life in the
old boy yet.
As usual, the ageless Negro
with the "cutie" style has picked
no soft touch. He may find
himself in 10 very tough rounds
against youthful Harold John
eon, 22-year-old Negro light
heavyweight who occasionally
ventures into the heavyweight
division.
Walcott hasn't fought since
last August 14, when he knock
ed out Olle Tandberg ot Swe
den in five rounds. Too, the
Camden, N.J., father of six, cele
week. That's a mighty eld age
in the fight business.
Probably Joe's age never was
brought home to him as vividly
as it was the other day when it
was discovered that he had once
knocked out the father of the
fighter he's meeting tonight. It
was 14 years ago when Walcott
knocked out Harold's father,
Phil Johnson.
That most unusual angle alone
seems sure to pull a sizeable
crowd into the arena for the go
ings on, starting about 10 p.m.
(EST).
Can Johnson the younger suc
ceed where Johnson the elder
failed?
Both fighters have a lot at
cher of the American Legion
who has spent much time In
securing the talent. Matches
will be announced from the
ring and Packey McFarland
and Harry Levy will direct
traffio inside the squared
arena.
Judges for the events will
be Harry Collins, Mrs. Harry
Levy and Jack Rainwater.
The Portland Pal club, di
rected by Mickey Pease, will
provide a number of contend
ers as well as an intermission
acrobatics show.
The card will include boys
from the state school near
Woodbnrn, Salem, Mt. Angel
and several other Willamette
valley communities.
A nominal admission charge
of 50 cents will be made.

west basketball scoring picture
this week by making the most of
his gift tosses.
Compared to the other gun

With a point total of 250 for
