Salem high's Vikings pounded
their way into the semi-finals of
the Oregon state high school bas
ketball tournament here Thurs
day afternoon by defeating Jef
ferson high of Portland the hard
way, 44 to 41 in an overtime tilt.
Little Dick Norton was the
hero of the contest as he pushed
in a short rebound with three
seconds to go and tie the hard
fought game up and sent it into
overtime. Jim Rock tied the ball
up with eight seconds remaining
in the game and Salem trailing
37-39. He tipped the ball to
Chamberlain who passed to Rog
ers. Rogers tried a shot which
was blocked. Chamberlain tried
on the rebound and then Norton
grabbed it off the board and
pushed it back in for the tying
score.
In the overtime Girod, who
incidentaly kept the Vikings
in the game throughout with
his excellent floor work and
scoring, hit one from the side.
Ron Fundingsland made a free
throw on Rock's foul but Ro
gers made it back on Fund
ingsland's foul.
Scott then kept Jefferson in
the game with a free throw
but Girod and Walling added
charity tosses for Salem to ice
the tilt.
Salem will meet its Big Six

vallis team pulled one of the
few upsets so far in the tourney

Hoist First Hood
Tram Car to Line
Government Camp, Ore.,
March 17 (U.R) Heavy equip
ment was to hoist the first ski
way coach to the Mt. Hood
aerial passenger tramway here
this afternoon.
The "tree-top" tramway
rises 2135 feet up Mt. Hood
to Timberline lodge, which is
at the 6000 mark on the moun
tain. Thirty-six seated and 14
standing passengers can be
carried on the coach. The
$500,000 project is the world's
longest, at three miles, and
largest mountain tramway,
exceeding the only other one
in this country on Cannon
mountain, near Franconia, N.
H., company President J. Otto
George said.
There are no moving cables
in the tramway, the self-propelled
coach is powered by
two 185-horscpowcr gasoline
engines. Testing on the tram
way will begin in the near fu
ture, George said.
Bean to Head WV
Baseball League
William Bean, of Mt. Angel,
will again head the Willamette
Valley baseball league. Other
officers elected at the annual
meeting are William Lulay, Sub
limity, vice president, and Ray
Brooks, Portland, secretary
treasurer, both re-elected.
Final action whether to in
crease the league membership to
eight teams will be taken March
27 when written applications for
membership will be considered.
Several communities have made
inquiries along this line.
Teams represented at the an
nual meeting were Mt. Angel,
Stayton, Aumsville, Sublimity,
Aurora and Lone Elder.
held things their own way dur
ing tne entire first quarter and
held, a 13 to 10 lead.
With Walling, Rogers and
Rock controlling the boards,
the Hauk coached team pulled
away to a 16-10 margin mid
way through the second per
iod. However, Jeff came roar
ing back and trailed by but a
slight 18-17 margin at half
time. The game then became inter
esting. Jeff went ahead at 19-18 but
Salem tied it up on Gilson's tip
in and from then on the lead
see-sawed back and forth until
the end of the third stanza which
saw the game tied up at 30 all.
Jeff took the lead at 32-30 but
Girod suddenly caught fire and
he and Fundingsland traded
buckets with four minutes to go.
Raymond hit one from the
side and Fundingsland one from
the key while Rogers got a tip-
in and the two teams went into
the final three minutes with
Jeff leading 38 to 36.
Fundingsland hit a free
throw as did Girod for Salem
then Jeff went into its stall.
The Democrats did a beautiful
job of it for one minute and
forty seconds but Rock came
through with a held ball and
set the stage for Norton's game
tying bucket.
Salem outscored Jeff from the
field 16 to 14 while the Portland
entry made good on one more
free throw. Daryl Girod led the
Vikings with 16 points followed
by Doug Rogers with 11. Fund
ingsland and Raymond tallied
15 for Jefferson.
Salem could have won by a
larger margin if any percentagt
of their tip-ins would have drop
ped. The ball just wouldn't go
through.
