Passing Attack May Be Big Vik Threat Mel Fox, football coach at North Salem High school which plays Medford here next Friday evening, is trying to turn a "green bunch of boys" into a red-hot unit. That is the report of Joe Eigham, prep sports writer for the Salem Capital Journal. The writer points up that Fox is faced with a considerable rebuilding job with only one starter back from the 1957 crew. Mike Youngquist, an end, is the returning regular. North Salem has around 15 letterman from last season plus one letterman transfer. But Bigham still calls the Vikings "relatively inexperi enced." The Salemites expect to be outweighed by most rivals and likely will try to offset the disadvantage with a pass ing attack. And, Fox appears to have the material to make an aerial offensive go.' Passtrs Consistent Among the lettermen are Ron Mickle and Tom Ed wards, 'No. 1 and No. 2 quar terbacks last fall. They can cut loose with fairly consist ent and accurate heaves. Their targets include Ends Youngquist and Bill Maurer, a transfer from Ashland. Mickle and tackle Morite Olson, Bigham reports, are the heaviest Salem players. Both are listed at 192 pounds. An exact list of lettermen is not available but the group includes Mickle and Edwards, quarterbacks; Mitchell Bill ings, Gene Gilbertson and Glen Vanderhoof, halfbacks; Dennis Burright, John Roher, and Will Christiansen, full backs; Youngquist, end; Ed Anderson, Chuck McKee and Olson, tackles; Frank Meir and Dwight Reinwald, guards, and Rex Insen, center. The Vikings are trying to improve on last season. North Salem lost only one game, to South Salem, in that cam paign. The two Salem schools are expected again to battle for District 8 A-l honors.

Middleweight ruler Robin son and light heavyweight boss Moore were high on the agenda for the NBA's second day of convention here at the Riviera Hotel.

MAIL TRIBUNE, MidferJ, Orfn, Tu.tdiy, Stpttmbar 9, 1931 9 Humans Unhurt By Fish Disease Portland (UPD A fisheries biologist said today that bac teria which threaten a large number of salmon in the up per Columbia and Willamette rivers are not believed to be detrimental to humans. R. W. Schoning, research director of the Oregon Fish Commission, also said that the fish disease, called column aris, had not been discovered in fish in the lower Columbia river. He said the disease had been identified, bnly in fish taken at the McNary pool and at Rock Island dam in the upper Columbia river area and at various points on the upper Willamette system. A University of Washington biologist, ,Dr. Erling J. Ordal, said he believed the virulent strains of the disease originate in the vicinity of McNary pool when water is as warm as 70 degrees. He feared that large numbers of spring salmon would die before they can spawn, hurting fish runs in upcoming years. The disease attacks the fish in their gills and often kills them in two or three days. The incubation period of leprosy varies from a few months to 20 years.
