Dan Moore and Ron Russell both returned to school Monday, but the two stars are still too weak to play so Coach Dick Bal lantyne plans to hold both boys out tonight. The Saxons will be out to win this one to get back on the win ning side before Friday night's crucial game against North Salem at South Salem. Dallas forced the Saxons into overtime at Dallas last month, but Russell proved lo be the deciding factor there. Without Russell and Moore the Saxons have lacked the offensive punch, but they are back on their McKee Leads Vikings After 19 Hoop Tilts Laminers 2nd, Paces Rebounds; Briggs Tops Jayvees Dennis McKee apepars safely In first place in North Salem high school basketball scoring for the first 19 games. But Kent Lammers, a junior forward, has become quite a fixture in second place. Since Lammers' moved into the picture later in the season, he is ahead of McKee in District 8 scoring, holding down third place. McKee has 274 points, Lammers 201. In rebounding, Lammers is the tops at 138, followed by Jim Litch field's 113 and Homer Wood's 80. As a team, the Viking variety is averaging 55 points, well above the opposition's 48 in compiling a 12-7 record, coach Ward Faldanius re ported today. On the junior varsity squad, which has a 15-0 record under Coach Mel Fox, Steve Briggs, a S ! junior guard, is leading with 1,55 points. Mike Youngquist is second with 111.

South's Record 11-7 Sweet Home, Milwaukie and Cor vallis all edged the Saxons after the Saxons had rung up eight straight wins and had climbed to sixth in the Associated Press poll. Now they are unranked and have an 11-7 record. Ballantyne has a greatly re vised lineup tonight with only one holdover from the starting five that carried the team through the winning weeks. Ed Lewis, a 6-2 forward, will be at his usual pos ition tonight with Keith Burres at the other forward, Wayne Robin son at center, and Bob Bayne and Jack Scott at guards. Coach Gordy Kunke of Dallas will probably start Jim Claus and Dave Marsters at forwards, Dave Henry at center, and Tom Par sons and Jack Bernier at guards. The Dragons are currently in first place in the Willamette Valley league. Another Saxon out all last week with the flue also returned to prac tice Monday when Manager Ned Martin resumed his chores.

Sherwood and Willamina, cur rently tied for second, are expect ed to remain within reach of the Pirates by winning their games tonight, but Willamina has a tough row to hoe. Willamina will play its game on the Mieridan floor, bhondan has a league mark of six wins against four losses and is tied for fourth with Salem Academy. Willamina is 9-2. Amity has been giving higher ranked teams a rough time lately, but Sherwood will have the ad vantage of its home court in their game tonight. Philomath Poised Dayton, which lost its opening Yawama League game, has won its last ten but Philomath could be a stumbling block. Philomath was beaten by only a 54-47 score by Sherwood last Friday and will naturally be pointing for the lead ing rirates, who boast a 10-1 league mark. In the fourth game on tan to night, Salem Academy will be at home against Banks. Academy's Crusaders, who have been gaining in recent gamch, have a 6-4 league mark and are heavy favorites to knock over Banks, which has yet to win a game in ten starts. Lord Littlebrook, who scales just 95 pounds, will team with the Brown Panther against Tom Thumb and Pee Wee James in the battle of the midgets tonight as the feature event of a wres tling show al the Salem Armory. Littlebrook actually is a class ti himtr-lf anrl if he lacks any thing in wrestling ability, which! is douhtful, he makes up for it in comedy and acrobatics. Tom Thumb and Pee Wee James are a pair o( roughnecks and, even they weigh a total of just 198 pounds, they will have a weight ndvantace in an Australian tag team match. The bout will con tinue until one team has collected a fall. Their event will immediately precede tonight's main event be tween Lumcr wnosey. u-auinis 1 tender for the Pacific Northwest!

Upsets WU, 61-53; Next Linfield The Willamette university Bear cats brought their wreckage home with them today after one of those road trips they wish never had happened. A hundred years from now no one will remember that the Bear cats vanished into the interior for three basketball games against the two lowest ranking teams. But right now Coach John Lewis can recall every missed shot and every futile moment of those three losses which probably cost his team its title chance. Monday night the Bearcats parked their bus in Caldwell, Ida ho, to play the College of Idnho, a team defeated easily in Salem a week before. The Coyotes trailed 43-39 midway through the second half, then went ahead with five minutes to go to win, 61-53.

If the Salem lads can rebound, they could pull Linfield down lo six losses, giving the visitors a final record of 9-6, But Pacific holds the reins, be ing the only team with as few as four defeats in this quaint season. Pacific has four more to go, Wil lamette three, finishing against each other March 2 here.

BERTH PORTLAND Wl Portland Out door Store won a berth in the Western Oregon AAU basketball championships by defeating Mult nomah Athletic Club, 81-63, Mon day night. The winners will rep resent Multnomah, Washington and Tillamook counties in the playoffs to be held here Saturday By B0B BR0WN mm Waldorf to Be College Scout For Pro 49ers Who would have ever imagined that crows can be as hard lo locate as ducks? Somehow, we've always taken them lor granted figuring there were always a few buzzing around. Seems like when we're not looking for them, they fly over by the hundreds. THEY MUST HAVE HEARD US COMING On Sunday, Doug Hcikcn and lite writer spent the livelong, dadburn day seeking far and wide, and the result as the sun went down was zero. We hunted from Camp Adair to MeMlnnvlllc, and all the crows we saw would scarcely fill a glove compartment. Sure there are plenty of crows around. At one rancher's place near Mac, we were told that "yesterday there were thousands or crows in the walnut orchard." That was yescrday alright we saw nary a bird. At a cornfield location near Rickroal! we were told to "shoot the blamed things they're all over the place." But we saw nary a black feather, discounting blackbirds. The same thing was true in a filbert orchard near Amity. Finally we did spot a small flock in a plowed field, but the minute we climbed out of the car they took off for parts unknown. IT'S MORE SPORTY THAN WE THOUGHT Could be stormy weather is needed, the same as for ducks. Or mavbe most of the birds have gone north, and the next bunch is not here. Al any event, we have ro-cvalualcd crow hunting; instead of being a "snap," II is Ihc same as any other hunting; you have In be al Ihc right place al the right lime. Which, In one way, makes it all the more challenging. You can bet we'll be going out again as soon as we get the lime. Life is plenty hectic for this writer right now, and if in this space our syntax seems scrambled, have pity. Cause of all the confusion Is that wc have agreed to produce an outdoor show for KPTV, and we have to have three shows ahead before the lirst program hits the air. This first show will be March 8, and the time will be 6:30 p.m. The show will feature each week movies this writer has taken of outdoor activities. We're journeying all over the Northwest for tins material. Today, as you read this, we will be with Wcs Battcrson over on the coast trying to film some winter herds of elk. Later this week we will join Paul Bon in Bend, and shoot (on film) winter concentra tions of mule deer, and antelope if we can find any. (Battcrson and Bon are regional game commish men.) SILVERS SLIP THROUGH An encouraging report from Ihc Fish Commission says Hint in general, this year's escapement of silver salmon in coastal streams is higher than the escapement of the parent run in '53. This increase was most noticeable in the Necannicum and Yaquina rivers; the escapement was up over 400 above 1953. Olht-r surveyed streams showed increases from 30 lo 300. Only the Nestueca and Ihc Tillamnnk showed a decrease in escapement this winter as compared to the winter of '53. COAST ANGLING INTEREST GROWS The silver salmon are one of Oregon's most prized fish valued hiahly by both commercial and sport fishermen. Each year sees an I increase in boaters mooching or trolling in the nays and out at sea. 1 With the increase in boat-Interest, as well as the fact that (routing is not what it once was, more and more anglers arc turning to the coast streams, the tidewater, and open sea for their fishing. Cer-j Ininly, the silver salmon, the chinooks and the sleclhcod will become increasingly important as time goes on , . , GO WEST YOUNG NI.MItOI) Surf angling is also becoming more popular, and right now on the coast fish arc being taken from the beaches, piers and rock jetties. At present, a huge cavalcade of sportsmen travel across the mountains lo fish the strenms and lakes nf Central and Eastern Oregon during the spring and summer. Eventually, wc are almost sure, this throng nf anglers will to an Increasing degree "go west" tn the const, and the wide variety of fish lhal will he present there long after Inland angling becomes a "put and takr" affair ...
