IS NAME TO BL
GIVEN GROUNDS
High School Student and:
Alumni Honor Former
Athletic Coach.
DEDICATION NOV. " 18
Overwhelming Vote Re
ceived in Favor of Naming
New Athletic Field for
Roseburg Dentist.
By a vote of more than three to
one the name of "(Inlay Field" has
been approved by upper class stu
dents and alumni of the Roseburg
high school for the new athletic
grounds in West Roseburg. The
name is selected in a spirit of
gratitude for the services given by
l)r. Gilbert C. Flnlay. local den
tist, over a long period of years ln(
coaching and encouraging athletics ,
In the city and particularly in the
schools. I
The selection of a name was sub
mitted by the school board to the
Juniors and seniors of the high
school and to former students and
l-raduates. a group of ten suggested
names being offered for a choice of
one. The name Flnlay Field was se
lected overwhelmingly, this title
receiving more than three-fourths
of all the voles cast.
Although the final approval of
the name lies with the school
board, It is certain that in the face
of the great sentiment in favor of
the name the school board will of
ficially designate the grounds In
accordance with the vote. ? -
Ir. Flnlay. for whom the field Is
being named, has long been a
prominent figure in the athletic life
of the community.
He came to Roseburg In the
summer of 1911 and that fall, while,
starting a dentistry practice in
Roseburg. volunteered his. services
as coach of the high school basket
ball team. From that time on Rose
burg won the southern Oregon
championship with amazing regu
larity. Its teams exhibiting unusual
skill and ability, as a result of the
coaching received.
Dr. Flnlay. himself a good ath
lete, particularly in baseball and
basketball, encouraged the devel
opment of athletics outside the
school, and was one of the organ
izers and active members of the
old Roseburg athletic club which
for many years was a prominent
organization of the city. This club,
made up largely of graduates from
high school and college, put out
some strong basketball teams, and
games with the high school boys
and outside basket tossers were of
annual occurence.
Some of the leading athletes In
Roseburg were devolped under the
coaching of Dr. Flnlay. He exhibit
ed a surprising ability to take
young men apparently having little
qualities for athletic brilliance, and
making from them a superior team
possessing the fighting qualities
which are so vitally necessary In
school athletics.
In 1916 RoseDurg was admitted
to the state basketball conference
and after having won the south

first time to try for state honors, jjtatlstlclan has found that to every ' Mr. Mellon told the committee

disposed of Ernie Woodward In
four rounds at the opening Dili two
weeks ago, will again be seen In

fastest 145 pounders on the coast,
who recently stayed the 10-round
limit with Lefty Cooper, the Min
neapolis Hash anil runner-up , tor
the national title. .',
The bout between Herman and
Edwards will undoubtedly be a
much harder one than tbe main
event of the last card.- Herman
demonstrated his ability to take
much more than the cleverer
Woodward was able to deliver, and
Evans, according to hla record, has
enough aleen producing stuff In
stock to make sny fighter -In his

tion of a middle-aged ring veter
an, who drifted Into our midst sev

been watching Henry In action
predict that he Is going tn give
Mitchell a real engagement. Mitch,
ell, too. la keeping In tin-top ahane,
working out dally with capable
partners, snil his followers are
confident that he will make Henry
salute the canvas in quick time.
Anyway. It promises to be a real
slam-bang affair, no matter which
man wins.
Preliminary events will he an
nounced by Promoter dough later.
These will be arranged from local
material, and only the boys who
