ATHLETIC HISTORY IS WELCOME
So far this season we have received only four high
ichool basketball press booki and a half a dozen from Colleges.
Salem High and Stayton have quite informative books, the
Viking history being compiled by student Paul Harvey, IU,
and the Stayton booklet by a committee supervised by Coach
Joe Boyle.
Besides the usual stuff about coaching, material, sched
ule and yell leaders, we are Informed that Salem has
won nine Big Six championships and three second plaees
in It seasons since 138; seven state ehampionsthips since
the first in 191, eight second plices.lwo fourths and two
fifths.
Young Harvey's book lists 25 Salem players chosen to
all-state first team, starting with Slats Gill and Latham in
1919 and Gill and his brother, Luke, In 1920.
Stayton 1 boos reveals the
Eagles' team record since 1947
with the following interesting
notes: Most points against
Stayton in one game, Boyer
of Willamlna, 34 in 1947;
Stay ton high scorer for- 6ne
game, Small, 27 in 1953; .
largest victory margin, 30
points; largest loss margin, 35
points, by Salem in 1952; few
est points in one game, 14 in
1948 against Monmouth.
Of special value to us are
Capitol league standings for
each year since 1948, Stayton
winning it four times, Salem
Academy once and Sacred
Heart once. Virgil Weber of
Sacred Heart holds the league
record of 18.2 per game in
1952.
COLLEGES TELL ALL
There is little one can't learn
from college pressbooks about
all-time records, judging by
the ones issued by Oregon State
Here are some gleanings:
ord, 10,354 in 1950-51 against
coast champion teams -and their present occupations; PCC
playoff winners and NCAA champs; Northern division scoring
champions since 1930; division
Americans (Marshall Hejelte,
Grayson, Ed Lewis, Willy Palm berg, Don Durham, Lew Beck,
Bed Rocha and Cliff Crandall (twice); Individual scoring rec
ords and all-time records against each division opponent.
SALEM ACADEMY SPRUCES CP GYM
Coach Bob Funk was full
up st a practice this week at Salem Academy on the hill. The
8-year-old-gym is the owner of a new automatic time clock
"bought by the Academy lettermen'a club, which raised $$50
for it. Jim Wall is president.
The parent-teachers group is expanding the shower rooms
to accommodate It instesd of S snd is tiling the dressing room.
Game suits have been purchased by the Dad's club.
Down below the gym on a well-tailored plateau la the
gridiron, being' made playable by a $400 project, StStf
of which has been raised. Funk said. If the rain had held
ft a couple days more the crowned field could have been
seeded. Two thousand yard of top soil was hauled in,
the top soil appropriately coming off the top of the hill,
and the seed and commercial fertiliser are being donated,
, as well as the tiling for drainage system.
WATCH ON THE RHINE
The swimmer with the better time did not win the state
high school 120-yard individual medley last Saturday .at
Eugene. At least the timer's trusty stop witch didn't say ao.
George Clawsen of Grant, Judged the victor in the finals,
was clocked in 1:16 5, while the runnerup (In the same final
heat) finished in the adjoining lane in 1:18.3. The situation,
as explained by Chet Goodman, Salem coach, was that each
lane had a timer and there were finish judges on each aide of
the pool to see whose hand touched first. They ruled Clawsen
won what was almost a photo finish and that the timer either
had been too slow reacting to start his watch, or too fast in
stopping it.
REFEREES DIDN'T NOTICE SIXTH MAN
Salem Academy's victory over Waldport here last night,
I a reversal of their former meeting, recalls the incident at Wald
port in which a Salem substitute placed his coach. Bob Funk,
in the position of having used free substitution in basketball,
The reserve, unaccustomed as he was to public speak
ing, reported to the scoring table all right but didn't wait
for a dead ball or the referee's signal to come in. He
merely ran out on the floor, yelled to his predecessor and
shoved him off the floor la the thick of the action and
the officials didn't notice.

Wildcats Win Opener
With 26by Maderos
By DAVE BARROWS
Willamette university
opened a two-game series with
Chico State college of Califor
nia last night on the short end
of a 73-67 score aa the visitors
forged ahead in the third quar
ter. Paced by their 6-foot-l cen
ter, George Maderos and his 26
potnts, Chico showed superior
ity as it handled the ball effic
iently and was accurate from
the floor.
Reed Haa Slssling Start
Willamette lumped to an ear
ly first quarter lead, 22-19,
leading by as much as eight
points with forward Pete Reed
showing the way on a sizzling
12 points.
Chico's Wildcat Just kept
pushing them through as they
tied the score at halftlme, S3-
35, and took a third quarter
lead of 52-49 and went on to
win.
Reed wound up with IS for
the evening's chores. Dick Hoy,
versatile Bearcat, had 17 and
Center Tom Gooding, the trans
fer from Boise Juco, showed re
markable eccurac with his
hook shot in pushing 14
through.
Willamette, lacking some of
the team play characteristic of
earlier outings, outscored the
Wildcats 62-60 from the floor
but the Chico led from the free
throw line, 13 to S. An five of
Willamette's were by Hoy,
while Chico's were divided
among Maderos, who' got six,
Bill Ceagiio, six, and Norm
Coons, one.
Tied Several Times
After halftime, Chico took
the initiative and Willamette
was able to get it back only
once. That was on a Jump snot
by Hoy which made it 39-J8
for Coach John Lewis' lsds. J.
B. Wilson retaliated for Chico
to make it 40-39 and the best
the Bearcats could do was tie It
up at 47-47 and 48-4S.
The home team last saw light
at 60-62 but Wilson potted two
points and Maderos four more
for Chico with 2.15 left for
what became the winning mar
gin. The rivals will meet again
tonight following a preliminary
between the Willamette froth
and Dallas high school at 6:13.
The Bearkittena defeated the
Sheridan Associated Plywood,
71-50, In last nights prelude.

Dodgers Top
N.L. Fielding
New York 0M9 The Brook
lyn Dodgers, finest defensive
team in the National League
last season, today placed
catcher Roy Compendia and
outfielder Carl Furillo on the
circuit's all-star fielding team
for 1853.
Official averages disclosed
that the Dodgers made only 118
errors ast season, less than any
other club in the league, ana
wound up with a .980 percent-
aie which was tops in too loop.
It waa the third time In the
last four years that the Dodgers
won the fielding crown and the
credit goes largely to Cam pan
ella and Furillo.
Campanella, who led all Na
tional League catchers defen
sively in 1S49 and 1S92, did so
again this yesr with a M per
centage, rurillo gained a place
in the mythical all-stsr defen
sive outfield on the basis of his
his .088 mark.
The Phillies and Cardinals,
like the Dodgers, also placed
two players each en the all
star fielding team.
Individual fielding leaders:
IB, Ted KluszewskL Redlegs,
.995.
2B, Al (Red) Schoendienst,
Cardinals, .983.
3rV Willie Jones, Phillies,
