Scarcity With 46,000 Tickets? .
. We'd hesitate to predict the outcome of the Rose Bowl game but
we will go on record as saying there will be plenty of Rose Bowl
tickets to meet the. state's needs even though none is on sale for the
general public.
For some who would like such
a ticket, It will arrive in any
thing but 1956 business fashion.
This is a day when the consumer
needs only call out a brand name
and it's delivered at his door,
shoved in his fist or comes shoot
ing out at him from a noisy vend
ing machine.
In the case of the prized Pasa
dena cardboard, demand and sur
plus have much more difficulty
getting together. On the one hand,
there are 46,000 tickets arriving
in the state. Even when bolstered
by 8.000 students and a dozen boy
scouts at every tunnel, that many
Oregonians have not seen a foot
ball game at one time.
Despite this seemingly ample
supply, the worried customer of
the public needs to recognize and
then get together with a paid up
alum, a season ticket holder or
someone of the sort.
Students get them, too if you
can pass for the GI scholar type.
Next to none will be 'available
in Pasadena.
The regular price is $5.50 a copy and, as should be well-known,
, asking prices can vary. They'll probably be on sale around
Wagner's In Corvallis on Dec. 31 for a very reasonable sum. A
total of 46,000 tickets as $5.50 adds up to $253,000, which has nothing .
to do with this message, but we think it's an impressive figure.
There was a time, before the video, when Rose Bowl tickets were
near golden.
No matter how clearly radio 'casters Graham MacNamee, Don
Wilson or some of the others described the beautiful mountains, the
fan's appetite was only whetted to see a Rose Bowl game.
Some years, scalping prices were terrific. Each game school took
a large bundle, the otheV PCC schools received some and the Rose
Bowl Association would come in for a surprisingly large amount.
Then about the day before it was to come off, they would quietly
announce a public sale.
Scalpers Were Out of Scalps
This sale amounted to a mere handful of tickets usually
something less than 3,000. Plenty would spot the announcement to
form a long line, however.
Usually the Pasadena kids were well up front. The policemen, to
help maintain order and permit some moving about by the eager
ones, would pass out ucKeis inaicauiig pen
Naturally, it's very difficult to arrive at such a gathering early
enough, so the first move was to buy a place or two in line and
sometimes they changed hands several times. Finally, after waiting
all night and already out five or ten dollars, you. could buy a pair.
The big pressure was removed, and roughly so for the scalpers,
on Jan. 1, 1947. Michigan was to play SC and there was a particularly
strong demand for tickets.
However, many major TV concerns combined their equipment
and know-how to use the Rose Festival parade and the game to
Introduce TV on a large scale to Southern California. So great was
the interest In the game a big screen was set up tn the A'tm
and the admission was set at two dollars and several thousand
paid it. The few recreational spots that had TV put up signs say ng
they'd be charging a dollar or more for the game but t he sign
came down as practically every hangout hooked in a set by klckoff
time. .i
The pressure ,was gone and the scalpers were ou t of luck. Shortly
after the association added 10 000 seats and sold hem n teyear
ticket books to the public that had no connections but still was eer
eager to see the game. .... , , roi
Thus, there is no longer the battle to get
fans it still remains the game of games to see. A good many Oregon
State fans finally have the opportunity and the excuse.

For Saxons
High
By JOHN HARVEY
Capital Journal Sportswriter
Ward Paldanius got his first win
at North Salem high Tuesday night
and a sweet one it was as the
Vikings led all the way on their
home court to down their cross
town rival, South Salem, 55-47.
With Denny McKce and Jim
Litchfield leading the way, the tall
er Vikings were just too much for
the shorter men of Dick Ballan
tyne. The loss was the first for
the Saxons.
Litchfield, hitting from outside
with his one-hander, made 16
points, and McKee scored 12 while
being the sparkplug of the Viks.
Ron Russell, the 6-2 Saxon cen
ter, didn't score until the second
half and then really got hot. He
scored 19 points in that final half,
hitting 11 out of 11 foul shots.
Dick Scoggins, a 6-3 junior,
played almost the whole game for
the Viks; replacing 6-7 Al .Harter,
and scoring 12 points while help
ing the Viks control the boards.
Saxons Open Scoring
Dan Moore put the Saxons out
in front with two free throws with
15 seconds played, but McKee hit
on two jump shots. The Saxons
tied it up at 6-6 with 4:40 remain
ing in the period and then the Vik
ings moved to the front.
Dale Drake made a lay-in and
Litchfield hit on one of his long
one-handers and the Viks were
away to the races. They led 16-13
at the start of the second quarter.
Midway through the period the
Viks got even' hotter and scored
seven straight points to pull away
to a 27-17 lead. Keith Burres made
a jump shot for the Saxons to
make it 27-19 at halftimc.
Russell kept the Saxons in the
game in the third stanza, getting
13 of the 16 points scored By sown
Salem. With Litchfield leading the
way, the Viks jumped to a 36-25
lead with 3:30 remaining.
Russell Sinks Four
Russell sank four foul shots, Ho
mer Wood retaliated with a lay-in
Moore made a foul shot and
Litchfield hit from outside to make
it 40-30 with 1:55 left. Within 45
seconds the Saxons had cut the
lead to five points on a basket and
free throw by Russell and a long
one-hander by. Scott. Scoggins
scored three points in the final
minute to give the Vikings a 43-35
lead at the start of the final quar
ter.
The final quarter was a steady
exchange of baskets with the Sax
ons never getting closer man six
points to the Viks. North Salem
went into a stall with 3:00 remain
ing and held out to win.
The winners had a .3S6 average
from the field, hitting on 19 out of
48 shuts. South Salem made 15 of
48 for a .312 average.
The North Salem JV s, coached
by Mel Fox, romped to an easy
51-35 lead overjthe Saxon JV's.
Steve Briggs with 18 and Bob
Reaves with 13 led the winners.
North Salem plays Hudson s Bay
of Vancouver and the Saxons play
Fort Vancouver Friday night in a
doublchcader at North Salem.

ketball season on a successful note
at the S'. Joseph's auditorium
floor here Tuesday night, defeating
cross-town rival Salem Academy

tight lone defense which kept the
Salem Academy from hitting the
scoreboard during the second can
to until Dave Zklegnrt broke Ihe
Crusader dry spell with a layin
at the 1:15 mark before the half
time gun.
Lahr was instrumental in the
victory although he tallied only
7 points. The big Serra center
wns a demon on both Ihe de
fensive and offensive boards.
High point man for the night
was Bill Hamilton, Sabre For
ward, who hit for 16 points.
Fred Merk, reserve Academy
guard, topped the visitors with 11
ooints.
