In the first football game of the

favorable score for the local In view
of the fact that this is the first time
the Roseburg high school has been
represented In football for many
years. Although inexperienced in
the game and never before matched
against a team of experienced foot

brilliant defense, while its attacking
ability would have been a credit to
