Vikings amid
'SkitA Scratched
By FRED ZIMMERMAN, Capital Journal Sports Editor
Breakfast at Noon
Those men who have had as an
at the Salem Breakfast club sessions the earliness of the hour
(7:30 a. m., heaven forbid), must
erouD will meet Friday noon at
that was termed "Marine" at one
which apparently has more lives
comes another luncheon organizaton, swapping a glass of grape
fruit iuice. scrambled eees and fried spuds for a lettuce leaf,
mashed potatoes and peas. Whether attendance will be improved
bv the chanKe in time is problematical. As one 'faithful member
said last week, "those who are really interested will come, re
gardless of the time." It has been tough on an occasional guest
speaker such as Jim Aiken of Webfoot fame or Slats Gill of
Oregon State, to fill a 7:30 speaking engagement here. They
really had to rise and shine to make it.
Pennant Hoisted at WU
All honor to Johnny Lewis and his gang of basketeers!
While athletio championships are not an unusual occurrence
at Willamette, the winning of the Northwest conference bas
ketball pennant with a squad that is predominantly sopho
more In personnel, is an achievement that deserves recog
nition. Determination on the part of the contenders and skill
by the coach combined to bring about the title. The esteem
in which Lewis Is held by his boys was demonstrated when
they hoisted him to their shoulders and lugged him off the
floor. One doesn't see that too often at Willamette. While
the championship has been decided, there remains the matter
V. of a final contest with the Lewis & Clark Pioneers Friday
V night. It would be sort of an anti-climax for the Bearcats
to drop that one, especially in front of an admiring home
town audience.
That Beaver Schedule
"Spec" Keene, athletic director at Oregon State, has come tjp
with an unusually attractive football schedule for next fall. Not
only is it attractive for the fans but it most assuredly will pro
vide Kip Taylor's Beavers with the toughest sort of competition.
Of considerable interest to Portland is the fact that the annual
Oregon-O. S. C. game will be played in Multnomah stadium, No
vember 25. It is understood seating capacity next fall will be
close to the 36,000 mark, several thousand more than can be
squeezed Into Bell field at Corvallis under present conditions.
With a building program that calls for an expanded stadium
at Oregon State, "Spec" and his associates will need all of the
extra cash that can be dug up. Added attendance at Multnomah
stadium should bring in a lot of it at $5 per head.
Opener in East Lansing
The Beavers will open the season September 23 in East
Lansing against "Biggie" Munn's Michigan State Spartans.
The Stanford Indians will be entertained at Corvallis October
7, Montana, October 28 and Idaho, November 11. Washington
Is scheduled for Portland, October 14 and games on the road
call for appearances against California at Berkeley, Oct. 12,
UCLA at Los Angeles, Nov. 4 and Washington State at Pull
man Nov. 18.
Modern Day Spelling
Either the Church basketball league has been doing a bit of
nroselvtine among the untutored or the scorekeepers are merely
living up to the tendency to off -
turns in a game which pitted "Cavalry Baptist," against rree
Methodust." Perhaps the Baptists charge up and down the play
ing floor on horses.
Biddy Off an Inch
When Biddy Bishop laid out the diamond for Waters field
back before the war, he made a mistake of an inch or so in
the distance between the pitcher's rubber and home plate.
The discovery was made this week when a new mound and
home base were constructed for the approaching season.
However, that cannot be construed as an alibi for a lot of
ineffectual pitching on the part of the Senators last season.
This brings to mind an Incident of many years ago when Wil
lamette was playing its basketball games in the armory after
its own gym had burned. In those days one player was given
the job of sinking all of the free throws and Eddie Durno was
the sharpshooter for the University of Oregon. While Ore
gon and Willamette were engaged in a contest, Durno muffed
several foul shots. His performance in this connection was
usually so sharp, he thought there must be something wrong.
His suspicions were confirmed when it was discovered the
foul line was not located the proper distance from the basket.

Rumor Michigan Coach to
Quit; Kip Taylor in Line
By HUGH FULLERTON, JR.
New York, Mar. 2 (IP) Mr.
Usually Reliable Source offers a
prediction that Bennie Ooster-
baan will resign as Michigan
football coach after the 1950 sea
son and Kip Taylor will succeed
him. . . . Here's the way Mr.
U. R. S. figures it: The strain of
the head coaching job is telling
on Bennie's health and he'll
either go into business or remain
on the Michigan staff. . . . Tay
lor, a popular coach when he
was at Ann Arbor high school,
was very friendly with Fritz
Crisler ... and Kip, says Mr.
Source, turned down the Iowa
coaching job to stay in his cur
rent post at Oregon State.
Another source (must be UR's
cousin) says Green Bay grid fans
are predicting that Curly Lam
beau won't last more than one
season as Chicago Cardinals
coach. . . . Reasoning is that after
31 years as the boss, Curly won't
find it easy to take orders.
But ain't this a heck of a time
to be talking football when
spring training started yester
day?

Tourney Action Lists Two Crucials for Friday
Another thriller kept basket
ball fans on edge Wednesday
night at the District 11 tourna

pairings with victories credited
to the Salem high Vikings and
Woodburn Bulldogs.
The Vikings started action in
the tourney at 7 p.m. in a game
with Sacred Heart s Cardinals,
first round victors over Silver-
ton. The outclassed Cards were
swept aside by a 67-28 count.
The first quarter of the game set
the theme for the encounter as
Jim Rock collected 8, Doug Ro
gers 6, Wayne Walling 2, Larry
Chamberlain 4, Daryl Gird 10
and Layton Gilson 4 in that pe
riod which ended with a count
of 23 to 8 for the Viks.
At halftime the score was 35-
11.
The second game was a dif
ferent story. Stayton's surpris
ing Eagles managed to move
Into the lead in a see-saw first
period, and they kept their
advantage until the final three
minutes.
In those final minutes, with
Stayton holding a 26-24 advan
tage, the Woodburns managed to
sharpen their scoring. Tom Bel
loque canned a gifter to bring
the Bulldogs within a point of
Stayton, and Scott Odgers hoop

them in the lead.
