IT COVI.D BE VERSE:
Bearcats vs. Wildcat
Is the story of the fight;
Sn how could either quintet
Be the underdog tonight?
52 YEARS IN THE MAKING
We innocently let an anniversary go by without celebration. It
was 52 years Feb. 7 that Oregon State college played its first bas
ketball game, losing at this new-found sport, 63-11, to Willamette
university in Snlcm. This fact
came to our attention by accident
when Johnny Eggers, OSC athlet
ic publicity man, informed us cop
ies still are available of James
C. Hcartwcll's History of Oregon
State Basketball, 1901-02 to 1952
53. It is a work of devotion, in
volving years of research, thous
ands of inquiring letters and in
terviews and searches for pic
tures. The 1932 graduate of OSC will
lose money on the labor of love
at $3 but he has done something
proud lor his alma mater and
preserved facts which otherwise
would fade away like old sol
diers. Three weeks later in 1902 OAC
reversed the coin, whipping Wil
lamette, 14-11, at t'orvallis. Heart
well explains what was the trou
ble at Salem in the opener: The
Salem court had no out-of-bounds,
iust a basket at each end
of the wooden structure. One of
JIMMY HEARTWELL
. . . devoted to OSC
the Willamette "giants" would hold the ball over his head until a
teammate was in the clear, then bounce the ball against one wall
to ricochet to a player unoer tne DasKet.
WILLAMETTE STARTED IN 189S
Willamette had played intercollegiate basketball since March,
1898, Monmouth Normal being the first opponent, and had played
local teams earlier than that. Monmouth, incidentally, had a "lady
instructor, in inose navs me oasnei nets were Ilea at tne DOltom
and a hoy with a pole knocked the ball out after each score; bas
kets did not count if the player dribbled the ball before shooting;
a neia goal was tnree points ana a l roe throw one and anyone
couia snoot tne jree inrows tor tne wnoic team.
Anyway it's a wonderful reference book with a fascinating
story, containing results of every game in 50 years, tracing
Slats Gills' first 25 years as OSC coach, listing all-time greats,
recollections by leading figures, Gill's own ratings of hit teams
and players, all-time records, oldtlme pictures and an alpha
betical roster of former basketball players at OSC and pres
ent addresses.
Eggers tells tis copies can be obtained by writing to Rill Coli
seum 103, Corvallis, sending a $3 check and postage (about 48
cents).
OREGON 'BLUE BOOK" RECOGNIZES SPORTS
Outdoor sports of the hunting and fishing variety get two pa
ges of the new Oregon Blue Hook, out yesterday. The ltiO-million-dollar
business of hunting and fishing received 950 words, spiced
with pictures an improvement over, the 1951-52 Blue Book. There
is, in addition, a state park section of two pages which points out
that 3.390,421 persons visited the parks in 1952. This is double the
1948 figure. Then, too, the trapping business brought in $300,000
more from sales of furs.
It's a dandy treatment by Philip W. Schneider, game com
mission direction, and C. II. Armstrong, parks superintendent, but
how can they leave out Oregon's main sport attraction of these days
Swede Halbrook?
BASKETBALL SEASON PASSETH AWAY
Many high schools will be deflating their basketballs soon, or
whatever they do when the season ends. We don't say it hasn't been
fun, but it's the busiest season for the humble sportswriter who
worm an nignt juesnay ana many on ine next flay s paper.
We want to ask the Indulgence of the lads with the diffi
cult names to spell, who must by now be numb to all the com
binations possible. Early in the season we had the most varia
tions in the following:
Rex and Rae Domaschofsky of Dallas, Ray Eskelson of Wood
burn, Roy Wesselink of Sandy, Dennis Peeples of Molalla, Eli Gin
gcrich dl Pcrrydale, Del and Ron Kig,;ins of Estacada, Darrcll
Kcrschwcller of Mt. Angel, Fred Kascr of Silverton, Roger Umbcn
howcr of Silverton, Ron Huchendorf of Silverton, Gene Tiefkc of
Jefferson, John Kirsch of St. Paul, Charles Morten of St. Taul, Vic
tor and Larry Riestercr of Sublimity, Gary Espe of Gervais, Dick
Koford of Corvallis, Gordy Domogalla nf Salem, Jim Moriarty of
Sacred Heart, Roger Neilson of Staytn, Jim Fratzkc of Central, Del
mar Warkcntin, Virgil Fadcnrecht and Ken Schrcder of Salem Aca
demy (also Lilian Hcman), Bill Shrppard of Sherwood, Larry Her

Amity.
STOREY DIAGNOSES SORE JAW
Harvey Storey now tells this one on himself: When he came
down to Salem In December to sign his contract as Salem Sen
ator manager he had a soreness and swelling on the right side
nf his jaw which he couldn't figure out. During the "ceremony"
he had cause to pose with that side to the camera. The next
day at his home in Forest Grove Storey came down with you
guessed it the mumps! , . . The Western International Irague
schedule has gone to press, showing "0 home games for each
team and ii!) on the road for Salem, Some have as many as 72

Coach John Lewis has been
pulling names out of a hat this
week in striving for an offensive
punch like the Willamette Bear
cats had earlier this season. His
purpose is to recoup four losses
in the last five games and to try
to outscratch the Linfield Wild
cats tonight here and Saturday at
McMinnville.
As a result, his announced ten
tative lineup for tonight re
sembles some tried at the first
of the season, still containing
capt. Dick Hoy and Pete Reed
as forwards and Jerry McCallis
ter at guard, but leaving the cen
ter spot between Tom Gooding
and Neil Causbie. In fact, it is
possible that either Bill Colvard
or Jack Bishop will take one of
the forward posts.
Frosh Play at 6:10
The 8 o'clock mix will follow
the frosh preliminary at 6:10.
Foremost scorer for Linfield is
the consistent Dave Sanford,
third in the conference with an
average of 18.3. Ray Olson, the
football tackle, is next with 13.2
and is tops in rebounding for
Coach Ray Helser. As a team,
Linfield is IVi games behind
league leading Willamette and
Whitman but enough to put the
Wildcats in last place.
Only last week they spoiled
Lewis & Clark's immediate plans
to take over first place, 83-74, as
Sanford scored 27 and Olson
picked off 17 rebounds. Another
key man in the fast break is Milt
Krueger, 5-9 guard.

Coleman Will
Succeed His
Own Replacer
NEW YORK ( - The come
back of Jerry Coleman took on
added significance for the New
York Yankees Friday as the world
champions were faced with the
prospect or playing without Hilly
Martin, their star second base
man, for the next two seasons.
Coleman, who rejoined the Yank
res last August after 16 months
in the Marines, now figures to
succeed his successor, particular
ly if he can regain the form which
stamped him as one of the Amer
ican League s best pivotmcn.
Martin, the sparkplug in the 1953
World Series against Brooklyn,
Thursday was notified by his Berk
eley, Calif., draft board that his
appeal of a 1A classification has
been turned down. He likely will
be called up in March.
Billy, who claimed five depend
ents, said he wasn't certain
whether he would again appeal.
With Martin s status doubtful,
Manager Casey Stengel appears to
have adequate replacements in
Coleman and third baseman Gil
McDougald, who has played sec
ond base on numerous occasions.
The Yankees also had some good
and bad news to report from the
contract signing front. On the ncg-

While the two Oregon teams are
favored in the weekend stands,
the Oregon Ducks are figured to
have the tougher assignment.
Washington put a dent in Idaho's
pennant ambitions two weeks ago
and has similar plans for the
Ducks.
The odds favor Oregon State in
the two contests at Pullman.
Washington State has won only
three of 11 conference games this
season. The Beavers have won
eight and lost four games inside
the conference.
