The Roseburg high school students, and local football tans, ere all keyed up with excitment ready tor the foot ball game to be played here tomorrow afternoon between the teams of the local school and Myrtle Point. The Myrtle Point team Is one of the heavy and fast organizations of the atate. Football has been a major sport In the scohol there for many yeans, while It is still new In this city. As a result the Myrtle Point school has some ad- vantage over Koseburg In that re spect. The local school, however, has, by hard work, built up a team which Is already recognized aa one of the best aggregations In TTls vicinity. The de cisive defeat administered to the rug ged Cottage Grove eleven last week, proved the local gridiron warriors J' have the ability to atow away many victories thia season. The Cottage Grove team was a severe teat of the quality of the local team for the school there alwaya turns out a heavy, rough, and well trained team which stands high among the high schools ot the state. In winning by a score of 27 to 7, Roseburg proved that it has over come to a large measure the handicap which has formerly existed because of the failure to keep football alive an r sport during the past years, and now has a team which will compare very favorably with schools of like size. In the game tomorrow afternoon against Myrtle Point the line-up will be practically the same as that used at Cottage Grove, except for Harry Plcrson, who Is out of the game be cause of a bruised arm. Ha will l replaced by either Kenneth Chilson or Harry Ilelllwell, who are both excel lent playera so that the lineup will nol be weakened. Coach Larsen announced today that the men who will be used in the backfield positions are Irwin, Purr, Perrin, Chilson. Helliwell and McCul-l lough. The linemen who are ordered out for tomorrow's game are C. Tay lor. Hatfield. Wright. Agee. Ferguson, Jost. Heckley, Reymers, Itowden, and V. Taylor. In addition to this squad there will be a large number of sub stitutes available if needed. As the lineup shows Coach larsen has plenty of material for the first team, and out of those named can pick a strong team for offensive and defensive pur poses and has plenty of men In re serve of equal ability to replace any player who may be injured or become exhausted. The team has about aver age weighty but la above the average In speed. "The boya played a ood snappy game at Cottafe Grove." Coach Lar sen said today, "and are In fine shape for Frlday'a contest. The boya proved their ability to stand bard and rough play and to keep up an offensive at tack at all times. The experience of that victory will add confidence and fight in the coming game and we are determined to bring another victory to Roseburg this year." The atudeutu ot the high school and the members of the team and athletic association, are greatly pleased by the support which was given the school at the Cottage Grave game. Many busi ness men accompanied the team on It trip and were active supporters of tin fighting aggregation in the contest. Such loyal backing ks a valuable fac tor in the achievement of vicorities and the school la asking that the res idents of the city continue to give their support, particularly by their at tendance at games. Heretofore football has proved financially a success in the high school but this year has been due largely to the tact that the high school played here on Armistice Hay and drew a huge crowd of spectators to the game. Thia year the team will be away on that day and will not receive such a large sum as before. Consequently II the sport la to be made a success ihii season there must be good support giv en In lta other gamea at home. It la understood that there are to be a large number of Myrtle Point people accompany their team to Roseburg. As the trip Is now eaaily made In a couple of hours by auto, Roseburg will be host to a great many ot the resi denla of the Cooa Hay city. For that reason there should be a ready re sponse to the high school's appeal f an attendance, In order that these peo ple may see that Roseburg Is as greatly interested In ita home team at are the visitors who are willing to ac Big Events in the Lives of Little Men (United Press 1 PORTLAND.

Ebba Covell, Attorney Claude Giles has re quested permission to change hia plea, which the courts are considering. MAR8HFIELD, October, 18. Tha Injury sustained three yeara ago by Arthur Covell, confessed murderer, when an auto truck he waa repairing fell upon him and broke hia back and fractured hid hlpa and pelvis, changed him from a "chicken hearted" man ii f raid tu, kill a steer or fowl on the Covell ranch near Dnndon to a dla-. bollcal achemer of murders, la the present contention of Dr. C. R. Illoyd, a chiropractor of Coqullle at the time of his Injury. Somewhere In the array of verta brae on the spinal column of the as trologlst and occult expert may be a disarranged bone pressing In such fashion aa to affect the Involuntary, vegetable or aympathetlc nervous sys tem, Dr. Dloyd believes. He contends ' an X ray only can clear up hia conten tion and that a man of the kindest demeanor before hla accident which made him a cripple and so effected the sciatic control In his legs to muke them motionless haa been changed In to a criminal schemer who can call upon his occult facilities to place oth eiu under hia Influence. Great Change. Changed from an "angel son,' deeply devoted to his old mother who died two yeara ago, the bearded crl- pie lies on his Jail cut with the jawa of Justice ready to send him to Salem prison for life or to plunge him through the trap door to a hangman'a death. "If there ever waa an angel, Arthur Is one," the now dead mother used to say aa he cared for the old woman In the same hoiaie In which he later di rected the killing of hia brother's wife. "Yes, lie was generotia to a fault. I never suspected," says the broken hearted brother and father, whose smsll frame carries one of the heaviest loads yet endured. Never was there an Intimation that the nrother bed ridden and In almiwt constant care of Alton Covell, the 16-year-old confessed murderer, harbored any but harmless thoughts. At an operation In Portland last sprint, a small jagged broken bone was removed from Arthur Covell bark, both Dr. Hloyd and Dr. Covell testify. "Who knows there may be atill an other hone there and that an other wise harmless man In made through born demon." says Dr. Illoyd. Many Fractures. The X-ray takta shortly after Co vell's Injury showed hi back fractur ed 'n three places and hlpa and pel vis broken. At the time he perpe trated the murder lo which he con fessed, his brother.
