Bearcats Tighten Hold on
Loop Lead in Wildcat Win
Willamette university's gang
of sophomore cagers posted their
seventh win of the Northwest
conference season at the expense
of the Linfield Wildcats at Mc
Minnville Friday night, 59 to 57.
The triumph entrenched Coach
Johnny Lewis' Bearcats a full
two and a half games in the
first place position.
Willamette was given an as
sist by the College of Idaho
who turned back the Pacific
Badgers at Caldwell, 51 to 43.
Lewis and Clark appeared par
ticularly potent as they slaugh
tered the Whitman Missionaries
at Walla Walla, 62 to 36 in the
first of a two game series.
The Bearcat win was not
without its anxious moments,
particularly in the late stages
of the tilt, when the Wild
cats pulled up within three
points as they put on a des
perate bid under both back
boards in a final drive.
But the steadiness of the
Willamette sophomores stood
them in good stead as they calm-

A Good Selection
Contracting Bill Beard for a catching assignment wih the
Salem Senators is a good move as most fans will agree. Relieved
of the managerial chores, which doubtless interferred with his
work at the plate last year, Bill should boost his hitting per
centage several points during the approachnig season A con
scientious worker and well versed in the receiver's job, Bill
should be a big help in handling the pitchers, who, as a rule,
are none too experienced in Western International compe
tlon. Bill's selection had the enthusiastic Bill at the player
Llska, the submarine pitcher who succeeded Bill at the player
helm. And while Beard has accepted a minor role In baseball,
he has not given up his ambition to become a full time mana
ger. Probably Bill's chief weakness was his failure to get
tough with the men under him when they needed a good talk
ing to. Certainly nobody could ask for a more considerate boss.
More Lives Than a Cat
It Is possible that the issue of who is to operate the Salem -Senators
won't be determined until the night the first ball
is tossed next April?. One would suspect as much judging
by the on again, off. again dickering that has been in pro
gress during the past several months. The local group of
business and professional "men who entered into the picture
when the plan of general public ownership fell lat, state
they have the money with which to operate and have pre
sented a proposal to the owners which they believe is fair.
Absence of George Norgan, principal owner of the parent.
Portland club. ., is now blamed for a lack of response to
the latest move in the game of checkers.
Fan Interest Centered
What is of more importance and interest to the fans, who
after all must determine financial success of the venture, is
whether a winning combination will be placed on the field.
Ownership, of course is important. But a losing team, regard
less of who holds the franchise, won't pay off in this community
in a financial way. Through all of the dickering, Business
Manager George Emigh has been working hard to secure the
necessary players. He believes he has secured the foundation
for a good infield and if he succeeds in his ambition to gain
possession of a half dozen top notch pitchers, the club will be
set for a good season.
Bearcat Backers Wake Up
Next Wednesday at the Roosevelt hotel in Portland, the
Portland Bearcat club will meet to discuss prospects and
possibilities for stronger athletic clubs at Willamette uni
versity. An Invitation, a three color job compiled by Fred
Arpke, secretary of the Portland group, is being widely cir
culated. The occasion will present Coach Chester Stackhouse
with his first opportunity to appear before the Portland
group. Johnny Lewis, basketball coach, Dr. G. Herbert
Smith, Charles Paeth, director of admissions and Travis
Cross, in charge of the department of information, will also
appear on the program.

Salem high and the Oregon State Rooks will meet for the

Tuesday night's program marks the first time a preliminary has

to regain the upper hand. Hugh
Bellinger tossed in four in a
row from the charity mark at a
critical moment. After that the
Wildcats drifted rapidly to the
rear as Willamette won going
away.
As for field goals the two
quints were almost equal, Wil
lamette sinking 24 to Lin

shooting of the Bearcats stood
them in good stead as they

some Billy Graham, upset con

was given the choice today of
taking a shot at Sugar Ray Rob

Irish Billy of New York a 4-1

The statuesque, brown-haired
son of an East Side saloon-keeper

ing the fight to Gavilan in every
round. His tactics were unex

speed had been rated inferior to
those of brown-skinned Gavilan
who already has fought cham
pion Robinson twice once for
the title.
Graham's solid left jabs to the
face and his right smashes to the
body gave him a close but def

of steam preceded by two size

But don't mention deep sea
fishing to the little man whose
courage and ability won the
New York baseball writers'
award as the most valuable
player of 1949.
"I'll do my fishing off a
pier," the Scooter insisted. "First
of all, I get seasick. Second, I'm
scared of that deep water."
Three years in the navy didn't
ever cure him of chronic sea
sickness, Rizzuto saif. Even a
picture of the "Mighty Mo" can
make his stomach do barrel
rolls.
'Even on a big ship I had my
troubles," he explained, his
brown eyes pathetic with the
memories.
"But I'll tell you why no
body can lure me on a boat
for deep sea fishing anymore,"
Phil continued. "A few years
ago when the Yanks were
training in St. Petersburg we
had a pitcher named Herb
Karpel. One day he asked me
to go out with him and I de
fied my stomach and went
along."
The two Yankees hired a
boat with an outboard motor
and coasted out into the Gulf
about six or seven miles, trawl
ing and making a good haul.
"Then the motor stopped,"
Phil recalled. "I grabbed the
starting rope and gave It a
pull and the rope flew out
of my hands and fell overboard."
There was a mad scramble to
try to get it back, but a wave
carried the rope away.
We had only one paddle and
there was an offshore wind, so
we couldn't do anything that
way," Rizzuto added. "Then it
clouded over and started to rain:
there were no boats in sight and
we only had one paddle and
nothing to bail with The waves
looked as big as Yankee stadium
and, I'll tell you, I was scared.'
Phil and Karpel sat there In
that storm-tossed little boat
for two hours before one of
them Phil doesn't remember
who came up with a bright
idea. They took their shoe la
ces and braided them together
and made a pull rope for the
motor and got it started.
Idle Viks Check Records,
Find Gilson's Average Top
Coach Harold Hauk'i Viking
cagers sat back over the week
end during their idle time and
opened the scoring books to look
over the summary of their nine
teen games played thus far.
Leading the Vik cagers in scor
ing average is Layton Gilson, the
boy who was on the third string
at the begininng of the season
and now has copped a berth on
the starting quint. Gilson's av
erage up to date is .416.
Lanky Forward Doug Rog
ers is the high-point man with
118, and is followed by Cap
tain Daryl Girod who claims
166 points.
In the tabulation the players
are listed in order of the scor
ing average.
Of the regulars, Gilson holds
the best average total shots plus
errors divided by goals. The
lowest percentage is best in this
case. Lawrence Baggette actual
ly holds the best average for the
entire squad.
Girod has the best free
throw average on the squad
having converted 54 of his 76
gift shots for a .723 percent
age. .,
Jim Rock has the most fouls
with 58 called against him thus
far in season play.
In the error department Dick
Norton has played errorless ball
throughout the season. Girod
has the most with 55.
The team has scored 909
points in nineteen games which
gives the Vikings an average
of 47.8 points per game. Also
the Viks have converted 267
free throws out of 478 attempt
ed. The team total scoring
average Is .312.
Hauk's crew only has five
games remaining on the regular I trict 11 tourney to be held start
schedule before entering the dis-ing February 27.

'Satch' Waivers Asked in
Move to Release Hurler
Cleveland, Feb. 11 (U.R)
Slow-moving Satchcll Paige
drew his walking papers from
Cleveland today plus its
plaudits for a job "well
done."
In a move that seemed to
spell the end of the big league
road for the ancient Negro
pitcher, the Indians announced
they have asked waivers on
the gangling Paige for the pur
pose of giving him his uncon
ditional release.
Before cutting h 1 m loose,
however, General Manager
Hank Greenberg said:
"He did the job asked of
him In bringing us six victo
ries toward the pennant in
1948. We want to release him
now so he can make his own
plans for the coming season."
Paige, the colorful, shuffl
ing right-hander who stub
bornly clung to the question
able claim that he was only
43 years old, indicated he will
return to Negro baseball
where he won fame and for
tune and whence he came to
Cleveland in July of 1948.
The gangling, sleepy-looking
Paige, of scant help to the
Indians last year, was a tre
mendous drawing card never
theless with his bizarre "hesi
tation" pitch, his double and
triple wind- ups. Crowds
flocked to see him in every
city of the circuit, the climax
coming last Aug. 20 when 78,
