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

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 Crocker of Montevideo,
