Sportcasting
'Slips' Bring
Fan Reactions
A sportscaster who makes a
"slip" in speech or in fact really
hears from the radio fans, Chuck
Boice of KOCO told the Salem
Breakfast club this morning at
the Senator hotel.
Boice, relating famous boners
of the past made by well known
microphone personalities, added
that there are enough "kicks"
and pleasure to make up for the
troubles and obstacles of the
trade.
Slips include embarrassing
phrases caused by tongue-twisting,
intentional attempts to sen
sationalize, and mistaken identity
of race winners. Graham McNa-
mce, an early and popular sports
caster, once mistook the winner
of a big regatta on the Pough
kcepsie as being an underdog
pickup crew (which sank early
in the race). Then he built it up
with praise and blarney for the
big letdown.
The first game ever broadcast,
Pittsburgh vs. Cornell in football
in 1921, resulted in a burst of
profanity from a prejudiced an
nouncer who never was heard
from again, Boice said.
Boice said he sees no logical
reason for television to stimulate
sports as radio had done in ear
lier days, for people prefer see
ing It at home rather than driv
ing miles for the game.
Albany and
Marshfield
Next Foes
Three tough games face the
Salem high Vikings this week
as Harold Hauk's team plays Al
bany Tuesday here and then over
the week-end travels to Coos
Bay for a two-game series with
the Marshfield Pirates.
Salem now has a 7-4 mark
for the season after they dropped
a Big Six game Friday night
ej-32 to the Eugene Axemen.
In Big Six play they have a 3-2
mark.
. Tuesday night the Vikings
meet a strong Albany squad led
by 6-7 center Dave Shelby,
member of the Bulldog starting
team last year. Behind Shelby
the Bulldogs have a well-bal
anced team that is one of the
favored teams in the league this
year.
Loss to Leaders

been to high ranked teams. They
have lost to Milwaukie, Eugene,
Corvallis, and Roosevelt of Port

Weapons in
Shooting Items
By A. C. JONES
Capital Journal Sports Editor
It takes more than age to make
a pistol or rifle valuable it has to
shoot. That's how the Willamette
Valley Black Powder association
judges antique firearms, and
some of its 23 mambers are fir
ing weapons 300 years old.
The organization itself is only
four meetings old and has plans
for a range and clubhouse of its
own where they can choose up
sides and fire flintlocks at 50
paces. , Its mailing address for in
quiries about membership or val
ues of old firearms is Post Office
Box 784, Salem.
Sentimental value isn't market
value, Secretary K. W. Noteboom
wishes to stress, for Civil War
rifles bring only $5 to $15, depend
ing upon their firing condition, and
other ancient firearms have to be
certain desired models or from
certain factories to be worth
much.
Wanted: Keepsakes
The club would like to put into
circulation many of the antiques'
which must remain rusting in at
tics or cellars and has three ma
chinists among its members who
can replace scarce parts.
There are at least two 300-year-old
pieces. Retired Col. Phillip
Allison of Salem has an Austrian
wheellock rifle with stubby barrel
which has a seven-groove rifling
and elevated rear sight. It is the
earliest user of flint.
Hugh Husted of Mehama, an
other leading collector, owns an
Italian flintlock pistol made in the
mid-1600s which looks like some
thing pirates carry in movies of
olden days. It has gold inlay.
A Turkish pistol about 250 years
old, owned by Husted, has a bell
shaped muzzle and shoots scraps
of lead with a powder load of 70
grains.
Phillips also boasts of a 200-year-old
flintlock pistol and a Japanese
matchlick rifle 200 years old used
in the Satsuma rebellion after Ad
miral Perry opened up Japan fir
trade.
Can . Tell at a Glance
Any of the members can glance
at oddly shaped pieces and declare
their approximate age, nationality
and type, because they have pro
gressed logically from the first
hand cannon which appeared just
before 1400. These were short,
heavy barrels on long sticks tucked
under the arm. Powder piled
around the touchhole at the top
of the breech was ignited by a
spark from a piece of punk or slow
burning hemp.
Following, briefly, were the
matchlock, wheelock, snaphance,
Miquclet lock, flintlock and per
cussion cap, then improvements
like the brass cartridge, bolt ac
tion and repeating systems which
resulted in today's modern weap
ons.
It was Husted who pointed out
that most pictures or artist's con
ceptions show the Pilgrims carry
ing blunderbusses, a type of stubby
flintlock with bell-shaped muzzle.
Actually they carried matchlock
type rifles, which used punk, for
the blunderbuss did not show up
until just' after 1700.
History Traced
Husted, Phillips and Noteboom
pieced together a short history of
the periods the firearms fall into.
After the hand cannon came
these:
Matchlock Appeared in 1425.
Had a pivoted lever which dipped
the lighted punk of burning rope
into a "pan" of powder which re
layed the fire to a larger charge
of powder behind the projectile.
Developing into a heavy musket
in the 17th century, the match- j
Who's Taller
uny rule
above, used about 90 years ago
on the frontier, is within two
inches of being as tall as Its
present owner, J. R, Carter
of Corvallis, a member of the
Black Powder association. The
weapon is 5 feet long.
lock became the standard infan
tryman s weapon, replacing the
bow and arrow and pikes and bid
ding goodbye to the armored
knight.
Wheellock Appeared first in
Germany in 1515-1520, using flint
or iron pyrites and still was muz
zle loaded. Powder also was
sprinkled in a pan and ignited by
spring-actuated wheel which
sent sparks off the flint into the
powder. This flashed through a
hole in the barrel to discharge the
main load. The wheellock result
ed in development of the pistol
in 1550.
Snaphance Variation' of the
wheellock, except that the flint
was not stationary but struck a
steel face over the powder pan.
Mlquelet Lock A Spanish devel
opment with a sear mechanism
and main spring on the outside of
the piece. In the next stage, the
flintlock, it was moved inside the
weapon.
Kentucky Rifle Developed
Flintlock Developed not long
after 1600, reached its highest
stage after 1800, replaced by per
cussion caps in 1825-30 but manu
factured until after 1850. In this
class falls the famous Kentucky
hunting rifle. It was about 5 feet
long, 10 to 12 pounds, shot a small
ball surrounded by a greased
patch. It was a grooved muzle
loader, most accurate of the period
which could shoot a 2 to 3-inch
pattern at 100 yards.
Percussion Cap Invented about
1816, still muzzle loaded. Hammer
struck the cap at the breach of
the gun and sent a flash into the
main powder charge.
Development of the U.S. Army
pistol was shown by some brought
Friday night to the meeting. Hus
ted had an 1836 Johnson model,
about .52 caliber. An 1B58 model
.44 caliber Colt, owned by Lewis
Scott of Salem, is the last of the
muzzle loading pistols. And Pete
de Laubenfels of Corvallis, presi
dent, brought an 1873 frontier
model .44 Colt which still was
made in 1940.
Truman Cummings, Salem, has
a French automatic Gaulois pistol,
a small palm model which fires
by squeezing the whole hand. He
also brought a Capt. Very Civil
War pistol of the percussion type.
