Vikings Hoping for -.-'Anodier Upset: of ASSOCIATED PRESS Salem, Oregon. Tuesday, lf AFIELD $m vQW By B0B BR0WN " si.- COME BACK LITTLE SHEBA Last week a burly outdoor type barged into our office in the Pacific Building. . "Do you sell life insurance?" he asked. "Sure thing," we replied, whipping out an application form, two fountain pens and a blank check. "My name's Bob Brown. Have a seat right there." Our visitor took a double-take at the name and ex elaimcd, "Say, are you the char acter that writes that Oregon Out field column in the Journal?" "That's right," we answered, glad to know that we had at least one reader. "Well, I read your column a couple of weeks ago and you said the fishing should be good on the coast. I tried every blankey-blank stream you mentioned and didn't catch a blankety-blank lish!" "Even Drew Pearson is only 83 right," we replied meekly. "Not only that, but I read your column about kids pointing guns at people. So I went home that night, and gave all the kids a good licking every time they pointed a rap-pistol at me. They started crying, their mother took their side, and I spent the night In a motel." We mumbled something con ciliatory. Now, if I were writing that column, here's how I would do it," and our visitor launched into an account of his fishing -experiences. Forty five minutes later he paused in the middle of landing a huge salmon, looked at his watch, and exclaimed "gotta plug that meter nice talking to you, Brown . . ." Out he dashed, leaving us limp and subdued ... By the way, mis ter, if you're reading THIS column, we want to remind you of just one thing . . . You NEVER DID' buy, that life insurance! SAGE SPRAYING EXPERIMENTS SUCCESSFUL During last fall, we travelled into the Burns country, and were interested in seeing areas of sagebrush apparently dying. Now we read in the paper of the success of spraying sage to kill it and make the land fit to support grass. We think this is wonderful, as so much of that land, up to now, has been of little value either to wild game or domestic livestock. We wonder if many of our readers are aware of the fact that once, much of the country in Eastern Oregon that is now choked with sage, was good grassland. Sage and grass had achieved a certain balance. Then the cattle and sheep men moved in, and overgrazing destroyed the balance. The grass could not survive, and the sage took over. Now, some seventy years later, we are seeking ways to again make this land productiive. IKES IMPROVE PARK ON SANTIAM Ike Waltons have been busy this month planning rehabilitation work on some one-hundred acres of North Santiam river frontage, above Gates. This county land is set aside as a park, with Salem Waltonians as custodians. As the season advances, tables, benches, "chic sales" and other facilities will be constructed. Albert Saul Is in charge. This park, a quick drive from Salem, will be very popular this summer. Later, we will publish a map in this column, so that picknickers and anglers will know the location . . . Just a late reminder that Salemites who want to learn the fine art of Ducks Unlimited will have the opportunity tomorrow night at the 1WLA clubhouse, when Rcnne M. Harley, western manager of D.U. will speak and show movies. This very entertaining and informa tive program begins at 8 p.m., and everyone is invited.

Big 6 Tilt Is Figured 'Toss-Up' Salem high travels to Albany tonight for the final game of a two-game series with the Albany Bulldogs. The .Vikings will be after their sixth Big Six win against three losses. Earlier in the season the Vikings scored a resounding win over the Bull dogs at Salem. Albany is sparked by 6-7 cen ter Dave Shelby, a veteran of last year's Albany team that fin ished in the five-way tie. Shelby was held down in the last Salem-Albany game by Bob Wulf. Burkland to Start The Vikings, coached by Har old Hauk, will use F nil Burkland and Tom Pickens at the forwards, Bob Wulf at center, and Jim Knapp and Gordy Domogalla at the guards. Wulf has the job of holding down Shelby which is the key to a Salem win. The game is rated a toss-up i since Albany looked good in los i jng a close one to the Marshfield I Pirates several days ago. Salem has also come a long way since the start of the season. Saturday night Springfield was beaten by the Vikings 64-56 at Salem. In the preliminary game to night Lee Gustafson's Salem high junior varsity meets the Albany JV's. Salem downed Springfield's junior varsity 84-48 Saturday night.
