Two or three of them have been working extra at the local post office which means a lot of lee work delivering Christmas parcels. An other has regular assignments with the maintenance staff of the the Salem public schools while various jobs keep most of the balance of the squad busy. Lou Scrivens, extra mall carrier, plans to get married during the holiday season and will not make the trip south. The young chap who has to work his way through school quite often has the best success in the business world. At least he understands a lot of problems that the fellow with well lined pockets never encounters. Northwest Quints Falling Behind Members of the Northwest conference did right well by themselves in competing on the gridiron with clubs that are outside the circuit this fall. They have not been so fortunate on the basketball court, records show. The first three weeks of pre-conference competition brought 14 wins as against 22 defeats as of Dec. 15. With 34 games scheduled between Dec. 22 and January 5, the Northwesterners will have plenty of opportunity to better their standings. Pacific has broken even in four games, Linfield lost four out of nine, Lewis & Clark four out of seven; College of Idaho four out of seven; Whitman three out of four and Willamette four out of five. Commercialism in Bowling Len H. Honey, proprietor of the Stockton Cal) Bowl, voices a few complaints against bowling tactics in a recent, issue of "300," Western Bowlers magazine. "Bowling has ceased to be a pastime indulged in for the pleasure to be derived from the sport but is looked upon as a money-making deal and an opportunity to gamble by a certain number of bowlers," Honey charges. He refers not only to "tournaments where phony averages and all manner of chicanery are resorted to In order to 'get in the money,' but also to league play where the principal vice seems to be the payment of bonuses or penalties on splits, doubles and "turkeys." Face the Facts ' Let's face It," continues Honey, "The cost of living Is high and luxuries, including recreation, must be limited accord ingly. Let's not embarrass the good fellow who loves to bowl but simply does not have the money to be extravagant about It." He points out that those who must have a bowling outlet for their gambling instincts can arrange private matches and thus not embarrass the fellow who likes to bowl, but either dislikes gambling or can't affort It." Old Time Basketball The current issue of Saga magazine carries an Illuminating article by Coach Nat Holman of City College of New York con cerning the days when he was playing with the Celtics, rated the best quint in court history. Fans who like their basketball on the rough side apparently were born "SO years too soon, judging by Holman's description of yesteryear. The two-man contact rule so jeopardized the players that most of them wore regular hip pads to the ribs like football players, Holman recalls. Elbow pads were common. "The idea "was to hit a man around the Speedy men always received this solved this problem. Insofar as by providing him with specially would hold a light piece of molded metal. "After a few tough guys almost broke their hands on my thighs, they desisted from this form of punishment." In the eight years from 1921 to 928, when Holman was a member of the squad, the Celtics won 720 out of 795 games. Vest Pocket Treatise Washington State has come out with the smallest bosk yet concerning basketball prospects at the Cougar Institution, The well-edited pamphlet, approximately two and a half by four inches in size, is printed on slick paper and carries fine screen pictures of the players. Jack Friel, with a record of 28 years of basketball coaching, 23 at Washington State, remarks "In all my 23 years of collegiate coaching I have never come across a season where teams looked so unpredictable, I'd never go out on a limb to pick any club this year. They all look good to me." 4" Wf THROUGH J I , I J THE YEARS! e FAMOUS SINCE 1894 ILiNDCO WHISKY 8S.t HOOF 0 Sanford Re-Elected President of Salem Izaak Walton Club The Salem chapter of the Izaak Walton league re-elected Rex Sanford president during the organization's annual meet ing Wednesday night.

The list, which includes a walker or heel-and-toe tramp er, certainly approaches comic opera when It leaves off the British amateur champion and U.S. runnerop because he "has too much money," That was the charge made by an Ohio AAU delegate when the AAU award com mittee refused Stranahan's nomination. It also was charged that the committee was trying to "put over" mller Fred Wilt because track and field Is one of the AAB's "pets," Stranahan certainty deserv ed consideration.
