Salem, Oregon, Friday, December 7, 1956 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL Section Page 1 Tonight's Prep Twin Bill Called Off Because of Snow By BOB LIFE ON Thursday evcnins: This was one o( those days when we would have seriously considered trading our car for a good pair oi ice skates. Living out in the country and "commuting" back and forth to town under present wintry conditions is a rather "stimulating" experience, .me ledsi.. ine roads this morning, as you know, were like glass OH, THOSE SOUTHERN IMMIGRANTS There must be a lot of people Just arrived In Salem from warmer clinics, where Ice Is something you use exclusively In miied drinks. This conclusion has been reached alter watching so many people skid all over the pavement today. Even the best driver is accident-prone when the roads are like uic c ones arena, aim, a lot can be done to immunize the danger. SPARE THE BRAKE AND STOP THE SKID For one thing (this is all for the benefit of the Southern Cali fornians in our midst I, brakes are something that must be used spar ingly. They should be touched very gently when slowing down on ice, and to us it seems more effective to touch them a number of times, alternately pressing and releasing, than to jam them on steady. In some ways, the older cars that you can leave in second gear are better on ice than the cars with automatic transmissions. In gear, you don't have to use the brakes so much and wc feel reasonably sure that excessive use of brakes causes a high percentage of the icy accidents. There's a certain speed at which your particular car will ' handle best on ice. Too slow, and you will lose momentum and lide lo the right on steeply banked right hand curves. Go too last and you have very little control If you go Into a skid. The best tires we ever used on ice were sawdust retreads. Once coming from St. Helens on these tires, we went up a fairly long, slick hill, passing a dozen or more cars that had not "made the grade " This winter we are trying a set of suburban-type retreads. They are much better than ordinary treads, but you can still skid with them. NOT ALL CHAINS ARE GOOD ON ICE Chain! on Ice can at times be worse than nothing. If we were going to use chains, we'd Insist on buying the kind with the little studs welded to the links. These bite In and keep you from slipping tideways, even on glare ice. BORN OPTIMISTS OFTEN DIE THAT WAY . . . Actually, it's not the road we worry as much about as the other cars we meet cars piloted by the warm-weather crowd. You know the kind they approach you in the middle of the road, or if they are coming from behind they pass you like the Shasta Daylight overtaking the Toonerville Trolley. Oh, what optimism some folks have! EVERY HOME SHOULD HAVE A CRYSTAL SET Friday morning: Trying to make telephone calls to fishing spots this morning was an almost impossible task. Circuits wert busy or out of order. 'While trying to get a line to the coast, we chatted with the local telephone operator, and she said that the radio stations had been swamped with cals in fact, the calls got so heavy that some of the stations were refusing to answer their 'phones. Seems funny every body has a TV set, with the radio stashed away up in the closet with the other antiques. Then comes a storm or some other emergency, and they all have to telephone the radio stations to get the news , .' . NESTUCCA LOW, CLEAR, BUT HAS FISH The only call we managed to get through was one to Ilebo. There Is about an Inch and a half of snow there. A week or so ago, a bit of rain lifted the Ncstucca, but It has dropped down quite low again, and it Is very clear. Fish are In the river, and many of them can be taken, drifting bait or lures. Still fishing the hole! does not look good. Boaters covering a wide stretch of stream ihould do the best. For heaven's sake, don't try lo go over to the coast without chains. We have done it, under conditions similar to those that now prevail, but it certainly is foolhardy. Actually, you are better off at home "demonstrating" to the kids that new sled you just bought them . . . . 'Double Double' Won By Pat McCormick '52 Winner Adds Two More in Diving MELBOURNE tfi Mrs. Tat McCormick completed an unpre cedented "double double" by lead ing an American sweep in the women's Olympic platform diving Friday night after young Murray Rose and Lorraine Crapp cli maxed Australia's brilliant swim ming performance.

No one ever had won both events in successive Olympics. Russia Wins 36th First Mrs. Juno Irwin, Glendale, Calif., was second and Paula Jean Myers, Glendora, Calif., third as the United States gained its 32nd gold medal of the games, but lone title of the da Russia, having already handed the Americans their first defeat for the unofficial all-over Olympic team title, added its 36th gold medal with a team championship in women's gymnastics. Hungary won the only gymnastic event of the day, however, taking the team drill with portable apparatus. Russia led the United States, 712-593, in the unofficial point tabulation. Rose, 17, who earlier had won the 400-meter free style, added the 1,500 meter free style with ease, although his 17:58,9 clock ing was short of the world mark of 17:52.9 set in a trial heat by George Breen of Buffalo. N.Y. Brccn was third in the final with Japan's Tsuyoshi Yamanaka sec ond. Miss Crapp improved her own Olympic record with a 4:54.6 time in winning the women's 400 meter, free style. Australia's Dawn Fraser was second and Sylvia Ruuska, Berkeley. Calif., third. Marley Shriver, Glendale, Calif., was fourth. The day had more bickering and protests than gold medals. The final cycling event of the games, the road race, was cluttered with minor squabbles before Italy's Ercole Baldini finally claimed the official individual title and France was awarded the team gold med al. : Oregon Athletes Score in Games MELBOURNE Dale Thom as of the Oregon State College faculty earned one point for the U. S. team at the Olympic Games. He won his first match hy a fall, then was eliminated on his next two matches but placed sixth in the lisht-heavyweight Grcco- Rnman wrestling competition.

Ed Carleton, North Salem prin cipal, announced late this morn ing that the two Vancouver, Wash., high schools had decided, after consultation wv'h each other and with tlie Salem prin cipals, to try to make up the gunies later. Open dates are few on the schedules of both North and South high schools, Carleton pointed out, and it becomes even more difficult to match open dales with the schedules of the Vancouver teams. South was to open at 7 o'clock against Fort Vancouver, the strong team which beat North Salem last Saturday night at Vancouver. North was to play the 8:.t0 nightcap against Hud son's Bay, the team which fell. 44-42, to a South Salem rally at Vancouver Saturday. Sax Matmen Defeat Dallas South Salem's wrestling team opened its season with a win Thursday night, but were hard- pressed by a good Dallas team be fore winning 27-23. The ' Saxons won seven of the 12 matches, but one was by the forfeit route. It took some good performances in the middlewcights to pull out the match after Dallas had taken an early lead. The preliminary jayvee matches were a little easier for South Sa lem, the baxons winning all six matches. South's grapplers will next be in the ring next Monday, meeting North Marion at home in another non-league meet. Central Mat Team Wins WILLAMINA ( Special Central Hi's wrestling team built up an early lead in the low weight matches and ended the evening by beating Willamma s grapplers, 31-28. Central forfeited the first match to the home club, but then pro ceeded to win seven straight matches, five by pins, to coast in with the victory. The Panthers won eight of the 12 matches.

Coach Terry Brennan told the an nual Notre Dame football ban quet last night. There was a note of confidence at the banquet, attended by some 700 followers, that Brennan will remain as head football coach although his 1956 Irish had the university's worst record ever, 2-8. Our sophomores and juniors have received their battle scars. he said, "and next year' we'll put out one of the best teams in the United Stales." In the main address given by the Rev. Ldmund Joyce, execu tive vice president of the univer sity, Brennan's name was not . mentioned. However, Father Joyce recalled that Knute Kockne enjoyed his greatest seasons in 1929 and 1930 alter his Irish had a poor year in 1928. Joseph I. O'Neill Jr., national president of the Notre Dame Alumni Assn., said that he was proud that there is "no talk of 'Let's fire the coach' and at Notre Dame we have no hanging effigy. Father Jovcc reiterated (hat there is no de-emphasis at Notre Dame. "Rumors of de-emphasis have no foundation in facts, he said. There has been no change our policy. We feel that a strong athletic program is necessary at Notre Dame." The University of North Dakota basketball teams were unbeaten in 1906-07, 1907-08, 1917-18 and 1919-20. WHAT SCO.?

Baum, a former Silverton basketball coach, told parents "you can be proud of your boys, who haven't varied from high standards be cause of the moral support you have given them." Anderson, in introducing his team which lost 7-6 to Reedsport, said the past season was the great est athletic experience of his life. "Sure, we were happy to lose.

Wl - Eighty three grim-faced Hungarian ath letes and oflicials flew out of Mel bourne and the Olympic Games Friday aboard a giant French airliner. Empty seats 1n the plane bore silent witness to the Hungarian tragedy.

If you feci bad about being runnerup, look to Medford. They were state basket ball runnerup twice, lost to Marsh field in the football finals, and were runnerup in Class A-l base ball last spring." Swan passed on compliments of various coaches who had termed Silvcrton's team and coaching as outstanding. One, Oregon State as sistant Bob Zclinka, said that he never had seen a play like the one that scored for Silverton in the finals a fake handoff, spinner and pass to end Bob Kouf. Another coach said he never had seen a high school team run so well out of the single wing forma- tion. Swan continued. Selection of an all-slate team. Swan explained, Is complicated.

Captains, Aussies Should Be Proud Way Olympics Done Brtiiulage Sees Need To Change Medals In Gymnastics By TKU SMITS MELBOURNE Wi-Avcry Brun- dace, the president of the Inter-! national Olympic Committee who once threatened to deprive Mel bourne of the Curies, today said "the people of Australia should be proud'' of the 1950 Olympics, which he termed a "tremendous success." llrundage told a press confer-1 ence he was especially impressed Dy ine size ot the orowds, which ran 100,000 every day for the track and field competition and even laxed the capacity ot the various exhibition halls which housed gymnastic, fencing and wrestling competition. Usually. these events, and other minor sports which also drew well, ore considered less popular in Anglo- bnxon lands. The long-time Olympic figure, who was irked by slumping prep arations for the Games less than a year ago, said the Australians could be proud of their competi tive performance. Cites a.vinnflHllrit He also admitted that the In- ternational Olympic Committee has been studying the problem of multiple gold medals rn gymnas- tics. He said it was "certainly unjust tor one man competing in six different gymnastic events lo he able lo win six gold medals plus another for all-around per formance and still another for team performance while a man competing in the grueling 10-evcnt decathlon can winoonly one. While Rrundngo wasn't con cerned with the points which ac company a gold medal strictly an unofficial tabulation which the IOC ignores as being at variance with the Olympic ideal his com ment on the situation was wel comed by i;.S. officials. It was in gymnastics events that Russia piled up points lo hand Uncle Sam his first defeat in the race for the Games title.
