Newspaper Page TextI Rooks at North Salem Tuesday, South at Lebanon ASSOCIATED PRESS Capital Journal, Salem, Ore., The Sportmeter By A. C. JONES, Capital Journal Sports Editor IT COULD BE VERSE: Men have tried for many years To make the record clean; Only to ind, like OSC, They can't reach Sweet Sixteen. YOl'SE IS A VIPER, OR FOILED AGAIN Now that those kids from Washington State had the nerve to derail the high and mighty Beavers, it remains lor someone's grandchildren to be on the first Northern division team to win all 16 league basketball games. Merger of Northern and Southern division schedules next season has made it a little sad that the Cougars spoiled Oregon State's chance Saturday night, but we had a gnawing hunch that Oregon might do it anyway. Only twice since the 16-game slate be gan in 1930 has a team come with in one game of winning them all , Washington in 1953 when Idaho knocked off Bob Houbregs, Inc., in the final contest; and in 1944, when Washington held a 131 mark. Records of 14-2 have been posted by Washington in 1952, Oregon in 1939, Washington in Washington also has one of the 1934 and Washington in 1931. only perfect records of all time In the division, 10-0 in 1929 (Ore gon had 10-0 in 1926), thus giving the Huskies six of the eight best records since formation of the N.D. in 1923. BRING FORTH THE BRUINS Both PCC teams have a spe cial objective in the playoffs at Corvallis March 4-5 and maybe March 7. UCLA hasn't won a play off in Corvallis, although winning the playoffs in 1950 and 1952 at Los Angeles. The Bruins lost to OSC at Corvallis in 1947 and 1949. OSC on the other hand, hasn't been represented in the NCAA Western Regionals in the past three years that OSC has been host. Slats Gill is quoted as saying he will have to field a tall team against UCLA to give the Beavers one advantage, at least. UCLA hasn't anyone taller than 6-5, which is all right when one is dancing with a girl under 6 feet but not against the higher level of basketball society enjoyed by Gill. UCLA apparently has virtues to make up for it speed. Dur ing it 20-3 record the Bruin have topped 100 points twice and 80 points 10 times. Two Bruins in the current crop are the only two UCLA cagers ever to score more than 1000 points in a career Don Bragg and Johnny Moore. Even ahead of them is Willis Naulls (6-feet-5) in average this season with 13.9. The team, as a whole, is hitting .407 per cent of field goal attempts, pretty fair country shooting. San Francisco, No. 1 in the nation, has split its series with UCLA. ODDS AND ENDS Johnny Eggers, OSC athletic publicity director, told the Salem alumni chapter that Southern California sports writers are enthusiastic about Tommy Prothro as a person and a foot ball coach for OSC, but have adopted the "poor Prothro" at titude for having to go to OSC . . . Eggers also pointed out that ex-coach Kip Taylor had two possible all-coast players on his campus who weren't out for football: Bill Toole and Jay Dean. Toole you will recognize as the surprised former high school halfback who was drafted by the New York Giants although he hadn't played college football. Dean also is a basketballer who has fosaken the gridiron in college although in high school he was a brilliant end on both offense and defense and has the size and ruggedncss . . . Eggers added the information that Salem's George Meyers is one of OSC's best wrestlers, especially "when he gets mad," and has helped the Beavers to a 7-0 record . . . That rare Big Four split in bowling (4-7 and 6-10) was made Thursday night by an Albany woman, Mrs. Mable Bruggeman, bowl ing on the Albany Sand & Gravel team in the Timborelte league. For the non-bowler, those are the two in the left back and the two in the right back, requiring a delicately placed ball which slices the cheese thin ... Gardner Knapp of Salem will "just happen" to be at Pittsburgh, Pa., on March 2 when the Carnegie Tech freshman basketball team plays the Slippery Rock Teachers yearlings. Reason: Son Jim Knapp is a guard on the Tech crew . . . A NEW VEHICLE FOR THE SENATORS The voice will be the same, but the letters on the mike will be new when Salem Senator baseball games are filtered over the radio next season. While the change from KOCO to K.SLM has been reported unofficially, Hugh Luby and the Senator directors made it official by giving the contract to KSLM. Luby said that K.SLM offered more money and "in the interest of the stockholders we couldn't turn it down." . Chuck Boice. who has followed the Senators here and on the road for KOCO, will stay on as announcer on a "free lance" basis. Luby also reports that Sunday games will not be broad cast play-by-play, but summaries will be carried because of net work commitments by KSLM ... Northwest league schedule will be released next week-end, as drawn up by Luby and approved by league officials. Salem will be on the road July 4 but home Labor Day . . . Wenatchee, to be .managed by Edo Vanni, has sold 1000 season tickets already and Eugene that many or more. HE WANTS TO PLAY BADLY Ken Johnston of Salem Academy, 14-year-old sophomore, although not eligible this year for athletics, certainly has the desire to play. He commutes by "thumb" daily between Al bany and Salem to attend the Acedemy and takes part in sports. The school provides a bus which picks up students even far ther than Albany but the bus returns them in the evening before football or basketball practice is over. Other Academy athletes coming from elsewhere are Dave Phil lips and Ken McClain from Albany, Jim Wallace from Redmond, Tom Riemer, Dclmar Warkentin from Dallas and there are six more from Dallas on the junior Title Match for Tan Team Winner A chance at the Northwest Tag of fact, the burly Curtis, a fa Team championship will await iliar figure some time back in the winners of Tuesday night's I Salem mat circles, says he'll do tag team match at the Salem j the job on McDonald and Dusette armory. j all by himself if need be.

We Willi snouia De a real scrap. Gambee Leading Rookies Frosli Won First Sleeting After Tussle The freshman basketball team on which Oregon State college is depending for future Pacific Coast conference honors will cut capers at North Salem high school Tuesday night against the Vikings. Tall talent from the northwest has been accumulated for Coach Paul Valcnti's Rooks, who earlier this season whacked North Sa lem, C547, by batting the ball around like volleyball players over the shorter Vikings. Led by Gambee Dave Gambee, 6-0 center and forward from Corvallis, i smooth operator for the Rooks who scored 27 points by himself in the earlier game and sat out quite a spell. Still taller than he is Wayne Moss, 6-8 center from Richland, Wash. North Salem gave the Rooks a real scrap for the first half, trailing only five points, but the lads tired against Valenti's two platoons. Valentl Is expected to start Gambee and Ken Nanson, from Vernonia, at forwards; Moss at center; Gordy Carrigan of Cen tral Point and Gary Haynes of The Dalles at guards. This will be the next to last game of the regular season for North, who finished Friday against South Salem high. The Viks have a 10-10 record.

Miss Berg of St. Andrews, 111., put the pressure on the Montevi deo girl, firing a par 74 to finish with a 297.

District 7 Race To Be Decided Friday, Saturday ALBANY This week will decide the big question in the District 7-A basketball race whether it will end in a three-way or two- way tie for first place. The schedule calls for Corvallis, in the lead by one game, to meet Albany Saturday night at Corval lis and Sweet Home, in second, to play at Sweet Home Friday. Albany will have to beat Corval lis to get into the district tourna ment March 4-5 at Albany. Sweet Home will have to win, too, as expected from Lebanon. But il Corvallis knocks off Albany and Sweet Home wins, Albany and Sweet Home will play otf lor the second berth.
