12-4 Mark
For Season
By PAUL HARVEV, III
After trouncing the Albany
Bulldogs 68-44 Tuesday night the
Salem high Vikings travel to
Coos Bay this week-end for Fri
day and Saturday night games
with the strong Marshficld Pi
rates. Harold Hauk's Vikings
played their best of the year in
upsetting the Bulldogs but will
again be the underdog.
Marshfield, now ranked third
in the state, has lost all of its
starters who won the state title
last year but have run up a good
record again this year. They
have won 12 games and lost
four, including wins over Eu
gene and Corvallis. ,
Led by Jones
Ron Jones is the top scorer
for the Pirates and teams with
another letterman, Bob Ayre,
at the guards. Wayne Young, 6
1 senior letterman, will probably
start at center, while sophomore
Sandy Frascr and two-year let
terman Steve Bigelow will be
the probable forwards.
Marshficld lacks height among
the starters but has Gene Tan-
kerslcy, a 6-3 junior, on the sec
ond string. The Pirates have a
sparkling freshman on the var
sity in 6-1 Roger Johnson a fine
rebounder. Johnson will see lots
of action.
The Vikings probably will stick
with the same starters used with
Albany. The forwards will be
Tom Pickens and Wayne Erick
sen, Bob Wulf is the center, and
Jim Knapp and Gordy Domo
galla probably will be the guards.
Phil Burkland may start at one
forward.
Wulf is the tallest man on the
squad at 6-4 and will be play
ing against a shorter center.
Wulf held high-scring Dave Shel
by to two field goals and seven
free throws in Tuesday's game.
Herb Triplctt will see action for
the Vikings at a guard.
Lost to Benson
The four losses for the Marsh
ficld squad were to Reedsport,
Grants Pass, Benson Tech of
Portland, and North Bend. Mean
while the Vikings have compiled
an eight-won, four-lost record
but are not in the top 10 in
the state.
Two of Salem's losses have
been to Corvallis and Eugene,
both beaten by the Pirates early
in the season. Salem's two other
losses were to Milwaukie and
Roosevelt, both ranked high in
the state.

Duquesne
Adds 16th
Hoop Win
NEW YORK W Duquesne's
dashing Dukes, idled for 10 days
by midterm exams, were back on
their all-winning basketball trail
today without missing a step.
The second semester edition of
the Dukes walloped Georgetown
69-56 last night for victory No. 16.
Duquesne led by 26 points at the
half and coasted through the final
20 minutes.
Don Lange of Navy, back in ac
tion after missing four games with
an ankle injury, scored 33 points
as the Middies whipped Franklin
and Marshall 98-68.
The Army also scored an easy
triumph, overwhelming the Nation
al University of Mexico 101-47 with
Bill Hannon scoring 44 points, an
academy record.
lona, tallest team in the New
York area, tripped Creighton of
Omaha 88-75. Bucknell hit 52 per
cent of its shots against Penn
State but didn't shoot often enough
and bowed 49-43.
Regis of Denver, due to become
victim No. 19 tomorrow night in
Western Kentucky's tremendous
winning streak, beat Arkansas
State 73-64. Mississippi State edged
Howard of Alabama 72-67, and
Houston came back fast in the
third quarter to nip Murray (Ky.)
State 69-62.
Stengel Says
Yank Pitching
Staff Too Old
NEW YORK Wl - Casey Stengel
says he doesn't know if his New
York Yankees can make it six
straight pennants. Seven other
American League managers would
like to have the same problem.
"Some of our pitching is too
old," he said Wednesday. "We
need more pitching if it's not on
the farms. I don't know if we can
win No. 6. Any club that wins
too often gets careless. I know-1
said last fall we'd win six, seven
and eight. Now I don't know."
That was the pessimistic side
of Stengel's press conference.
On the other side:
"We're stronger than we were
in the last five years as far as the
regulars go," he said. "Every
body, except Phil Rizzuto, and the
three pitchers (Ed Lopat, Vic
Raschi, Allie Reynolds) is more
experienced, can do more things."
Casey gave the boys a brief run
down on the rest of the league.
In thumbnail fashion it went like
this:
Boston Better. More Dower
with Ted Williams back and Jack
ie Jensen added. Made the most
progress with youth.
Cleveland Better. Al Rosen
is best third baseman in baseball.
Chicago Better. Will have
Virgil Trucks all season. To eet
third baseman and outfielder
would have to give up pitcher.
Washington Pitching great,
especially at home. Mav have a
little trouble with catching and
snortstop.
Philadelphia Will fight hard
er. Bobby Shantz has tr be bet
ter, rive young Yankee farm
hands will help club.
Baltimore Jimmy Dykes has
much better shortstop than he had
last year at Philadelphia. Needs
third baseman.
Detroit Better at short and
third base. Club much improved in
last half of season hut needs help.
