THE CAPITAL JOURNAL Section 2 Page 1 Senator Operators to Have First Meet With Managers Salem, Oregon, Monday, January 21, 1957 Trite Sp By A. C. JONES, Copitol Sports Ranked High on His List A sports-minded publisher, bent by the cares of rising costs, politics and government, plus his own activities in city and state civic affairs, has to be' an energetic man of wide interests. That was our boss, the late Bernard Mainwaring, who will be buried Tuesday afternoon at City View cemetery which overlooks the Wil lamette river valley he loved so well. The sports side of this vigorous, intellectual man was one of the most revealing of his distinctive traits. It was his ability to do twice the work of an average man that enabled the boss to find time to attend games. He lived the game, squirming in tense moments, uttering "oh's" and "oh my's" if the action wasn't going his way. His booming voice, which we had learned to expect proclaiming "good morning" ev ery morning for nearly 10 years, couldn't keep his opinions secret. Everyone in the section in which he sat was in on even his whis pered remarks. His one venture into recruiting for Oregon State college, from which he graduated and which he supported to the hilt, was to en courag Jay Dean to take his tal ents there. Dean, from Nampa, Idaho, high school, made his name in Beaver baseball and bas ketball. There was little about OSC athletic history that the boss c o u 1 d n't recite. Outstanding events, with names involved, were accompanied by fabulous recollections of the score, the quarter and where the ball was at the time. Halftimes were strictly for the athletes to rest, as far as he was concerned. Invariably he would whip out a Time magazine, or the like, to read during the intermission. Time was too valuable and there was too much to do in this short life. A Vast Reservoir of Facts . Probably the memories we will cherish most about this re markable and lovable man are those of the rides to and from games with him. We started these jaunts in 1947 at Nampa, sitting where the hearing was best so we could soak in the endless flow of facts and anecdotes about athletes and events. Dominating the conver sation was natural to him it wasn't by intent. If we had had a more retentive mind we would know many times more than we do about many more things. If we ever bothered to check up on his facts, we found him correct. The boss was like that on every subject. We'll never forget how he gave us the grand tour of Salem when we first came here in February of 1953 after he had purchased The Capital Journal. His historical information included the costs of various buildings and some tidbits about the original owners. Then there was the time, en route to an OSC game at Corvallis, when he asked this writer's wife if she knew the famous poem, "Oregon, My Oregon," the state song. No, she hadn't, so he reci ted its pontifical words with his love for the state in each sing song line. Had she heard "Beautiful Willamette"? No, she hadn't. "Well, you don't know anything, do you?" he replied and recited those lines beginning with "From the Cascades' frozen gorges, leap ing like a child at play". Then lollowed the "Toast to the Team," an OSC song: "Here's to the men we know and love, Beavers tried and true, Here's to the men of the Orange line, fighting for me and you " and so on. Mr. Mainwaring first hired us in 1947, holding down the wire desk and sports writing job at Nampa for nearly six months until w graduated from University of Missouri. Why? Because he was the one and only of his kind. When he heard we were leaving our next job, at Boise, he wrote to offer us a job as farm page editor, of all things, because there was no sports desk opening. Then, as by the Lord's plan, as we were ready to pack to go to a news job at Spokane, Mr. Mainwaring called us within minutes after we had accepted the Spokane position to ask us if we would come to Salem, because Chris Kowitz was leaving for Corvallis. At $25 a week less, it was worth it. We were "home" again with the big booming voice, the kind heart and the busy sportsman.

Brenner t Picks His Assistant Carl Cunnarson Named; Talks Set Tuesday The 15-man operating committee of the Salem Senators will meet at 7:30 a.m. Tuesday with the two men who will be in charge of the Northwest League baseball club this season, general manager Bill Brenner and business manager Carl Gunnarson, former Salem pitcher. Promotional campaigns, includ ing ticket sales plans, will be stud ied by the "committee and club boosters at the Tuesday session. Brenner late Saturday named Gunnarson as his assistant. The general manager said Gunnarson will assist in various baseball pro motions, including selling adver tising and season tickets. The new business manager had similar du ties when he served as road secre tary and trainer for the Vancou ver Capilanos of the old Western International League. Gunnarson and Brenner both worked in the business and playing ends for the Capilanos several years ago, but for the past three years Gunnarson has served as a trainer and secretary for the Se attle Rainiers of the Pacific Coast League. The business manager will move to Salem late in January to join the club and Brenner, who was hired by the operating committee last week. Gunnarson won nine straight games for the Senators in 1946 when he was sent here by the Port land Beavers. The left-hander is no longer an active player, however. Salem JC Ski School Opens 110 Start First of 4 Lessons at Hoodoo Bowl Sunday The first annual Salem Jaycee ski school got off to a good start Sunday with approximately 110 students taking the first of four two-hour lessons, Chairman Doug las sneiaon reported Monday. Beginning, intermediate and ad vanced students from Salem, Al bany, Corvallis, Sweet Home, Eu gene and other Willamette valley and central Oregon points were on hand for the school despite bad road conditions that kept some 20 other registrants at home. Snow coditions were excellent for skiing, Sheldon reported, al though it was windy and cold near the top of the higher ski areas. It snowed most of the day at the Hoodoo Bowl, site of the school. The day was marred by two non-serious accidents. Lindsay B. Loring, 585 North 22nd St., frac tured a knee in a spill while ski ing and Jan Gillespie, 1670 Broad way, pulled a ligament in one knee in one fall. Neither accident happened during the school, Shel don s id, but occurred later in the afternoon during the open ski ing time. Registrations will still be ac cepted at Salem sporting goods stores for the remaining three ski sessions, lie said. Price will be $5. Bus transportation is also avail able to and from the classes, he said.

Jerry Kalapus, a six-foot-five sophomore from Mcdford with endless energy, gambolled through the greatest game of his young career here Saturday night and led the Pacific Badgers to an 84-68 victory over the Willamette Bearcats. The hectic weekend series thus ended all-even, Willamette having won Friday's overtime thriller, 81 79. The loss also dropped the Bear cats to an even 2-2 record as they go into a two-week semester ex amination layoff. Going all the way, Kalapus dropped in 13 field goals in 21 at tempts and 5-of-9 free throws for 31 points. At the end of the fracas he still looked capable of racing the full length of the court for fast break layup as he did four or five times in the course of events against the crippled Bearcats. , Illls in Row Despite a great discrepancy In total free throws, the Bearcats held a 38-37 lead at the intermis sion. Kalapus, a former prep ten nis star who must have radar in his horn-rimmed glasses, then hit on his first six tries from the field in the, second half. Most of these were of the 20-foot set variety. The Badgers took a 41-40 lead and gradually increased the mar gin the jest of the way. While the spread was substan tial, Willamette actually hit more often and slightly better from the field than their opponents. The Bearcats finished with 29' field goals to 28 for Pacific and had an excellent .446 shooting average as compared to an also hot .444 for the winners. In free throws, quite a factor in this one, Willamette canned 10 on only 17 chances while the Badgers managed 28 of 37. The Badgers were determined not to give out too many chances from the gift line. Twelve minutes had gone he- fore they were whistled down for Iheir first personal by officials John Mandic and Pat Patterson. Out-Kebounded, 59-33 Pacific also did much to win the game on the boards with 59 re bounds to 33 for Willamette. The bouncine Kalanus led with 17, In the first half Willamette had a 17-11 edge from the field. Ron Barendse, the former North Marion high star, was the big problem from the charity stripe with 12-of-13. His 24 points were second high for the game. Eddie Grossenbacher, Willamette's fresh man guard, was next in line with j rc ana CAMPER BAG T5 ALASKAN BAG $ $36.50 HOW caps 18 points. The Willamette rooters main tained hope for another rally by their forces in the closing minutes similar to Friday night's showing that saw the Bearcats overcome a 66-50 deficit. Salted Game Away Several times the Bearcats seemed ready to Ignite when con necting from the free throw line would have cut the margin to sev en points. However, just when Pa cific appeared ready to become rallied, Willamette would miss the free throw and the home team would come up with some kind of a score or two to gain new life. Midway In the second half Pa cific took a big 63-48 lead on four Barendse points and a back-over-the-hcad cripple by Kalapus. A long, outside shot by Vic Back lund and Neil Causbie's tip In cut the lead and Gressenbacher's 30- footcr narrowed it to 65-56. Later, another Grossenbacher outside swisher made- it 75-66 but he missed two free throws immediate ly after and the Badgers quickly salted away the game. A dozen points each by Back lund and Grossenbacher led the Bearcats' first half surge. Back lund finished with 16 and hte fresh man Jim Thompson, who had 11 in the second period, wound up wun 15. Taylor Still Out Willamette still was without the services of veteran guard Ron Taylor who Injured his elbow a week ago at Linfield. Backlund's sore heel and Causbie's swollen ankle received extensive taping prior to the game. The Bearcats next go inlo action Feb. 2 at Lewis and Clark. In the curtain raiser, the Wil lamette layvees won their fourth straight with a 57-54 victory over the Pacific junior varsity but not before Coach Jerry Long and his crew had plenty of time to per spire.
