Acheson's Medford high school basketball lads, who thus far have proved themselves darned good on oc casions and. not so potent at other times, will receive the well-known acid test the com ing week-end. Salem high's state champion ship Vikings will be here for a two-game series Friday and Saturday nights, and following , those tiffs everybody, includ ing Coach Acheson and his Tiger hoopmen, should have a pretty fair idea of how the red and black stacks up against the top prep quintets of the northern section of the state. As before noted th locals, at limes this season, have displayod more than b work ing knowledge of what it's all about. In the second University high game, in the Tillamook tilt and In the - second Klamath fracas the Tigers showed genuine . flashes of ability. Their pass ing was sharp and sure, their shooting was, if not sensa tional, sufficiently accurate, and tholr new driving at tack operated on all cylin ders. Against Weed, against Unihi In the first game and against Klamath in the initial strug gle, however, the performance of the Bengals left much to be desired. Their workout against Chemawa might also be In cluded, but we are of the opin ion that the Tigers were just out of their class that eve and that the Indians would have copped regardless of how sweet ly our boys were maneuvering The Mcdfords, In short, have to date been what the boys term a "hot and cold" outfit, as many clubs are at the first of the season and, especially, when a new system is being assimlliated. This is a perfectly natural development and shouldn't bo construed as in dicating the squad will never strike its stride. As for this Harold Hauk five from Salem, early-season rec ords are clear in relegating the Vikings to the pinnacle among Willamette valley quints, along side the powerful Dallas team. Salem has dropped only one game In 11 starts, and that to Dallas, but the Haukmen als. hold a decision over their con querors.

For those who have short mem ories, it was Salem which nip ped off Medford's state title bid last season, in the finals of the tournament, and before this sad occurrence Mr. Hauk's boys played the Tigers here twice, each club earning I victory. Leading light of the Salem quintet is one Virgil 'Scotty) Sebern, a forward. This fel low Sebern is quite a boy, as those who witnessed the stale tournament last season can well testify. Sebern made all-state first team forward, and he deserved It. In our opinion he was the second best player in the state, top ped only by Waymon Col son of Bake r. With the latter no longer around, it follows that young Sebern might just possibly be the BEST player in the slate this campaign. Mr. Hauk will have two other fellows who played in that tournament. They are Red Kernes, a forward, and Don Barnick, a guard. These boys weren't regulars of the state champs, but they saw enough action to become pretty dog gone proficient. They have been going great guns thus far, Then, the Vikings will have Ed Salstrom, forward; Bob Mc Kee, a hot-shot forward; Rus sell Satcr and Darrell Mason. a pair of good centers, and Jim nenery, a fine guard, to team with Barnick. These gents seem to be replacing the graduated Page, Gosser, et al. in fine style. It should be a nifty two-tilt series, the best of the year if we are not mistaken. And the hope is here expressed that the Tigers have overcome their "hot and cold", tendencies and decided to remain at least warmiJi.

COAST LEAGUE TALKS FORMATION CLASS C San Diego, Calif., Jan. 17. OP) Sponsorship of a class C baseball league by the Pacific Coast league remained in the air today, but the proposal will be settled definitely next Tues day at a meeting in Bakersficld. Winding up a league meeting, directors of the coast circuit voted to convene once more to wrangle over the establishment of the "baby" loop. , Proponents of the idea, as sured of two teams and angling for two or four more, urged im mediate creation of the league for a 1940 schedule, while con servative directors argued to wait one year and "have every thing in readiness" from the outset. Santa Barbara and San Ber nadino are certain candidates for franchises, while San Jose, tsaKerslield, Riverside and Fres no have yet to give assurance that they were entries in the league. One other Idea apparently caught the interest of the own ers; that of the formation of a Pacific Coast professional football league, with baseball organizations backing the grid sport.
