FOOTBALL
SCHOOL
Apathy Shown by Many

Prof. Cochrane to Coach

- High School May
: Forrri League.
Football as a major sport In the
high schools of the cily now occu
pies the attention of the athletes
of the city schools. ' In the senior
IiIkIi school the coach is having a
great deal of difficulty in getting
out material to make up the squad
for this year. For same reason a
good many boys who are badly
needed to make up a team this
year do not seem to have enough
interest to engage In this activity.
The boys who have had previous
training are turning out regularly,
but many others who could be
very valuable to the school seem
lo have little interest. Some, ap-
: parent ly, would like to play but
rre not willing to practice, and
Poach Turner insists that any man
-"Who- play's on the team, must turn
out regularly for practice, and no
matter how good a player he may
be if he is not out regularly he
will not be permitted to play. Oth
er boys evidently want to be coax
ed to play, but Coach Turner says
that those who have not sufficient
interest in the Bchool to get into
the game for the sake of the school ,
'-will" not be coaxed to join the
squad. Seven lettermen are 'back
from last year, and there are a
few who had experience last sea
son that will probably get berths
this year. Several places, however,
are open and there is a need for re
cruits and while plenty of ma
terial is available In the school,
there for some reason, a great
lack of Interest on the part of
many boys who should be active.
The junior , high school, how
ever, Is all "hopped up" over the
prospects of a football team this
year, and tho enthusiasm of these
youngsters promise much for foot
ball in lloseburg In future years.
Football was proposed in the jun
ior high ns an Inter-class activity,
and still may be kept on that
plane. Prof. Charles E. Cochrane,
instructor in business training and
algebra is coach in tr the youngsters,
having had a good deal of football
experience, In addition to a course
in coaching nt the University of
Ohio. He is teaching the boys the
fundamentals of the game and has
every prospect of a good team in

the demand for summer homes at
the popular Winchester Bay resort.

Winchester Bay Is "a beautiful
oeach at the mouth of the. Umpqua
rivef and for; many yoars has been
very popular-as a summer resort.
However, it fens -hard to roach, as
it wns not accessible by road, and
therefore did not get the crowds
that other beaches enjoyed. . Now.
the Roosevelt highway is being
built directly Into the townsite, so
that it will be on the coast road
and can he reached. from Roseburg
in, three hours of easy driving. This
fact is making the lots extremely
popular and it is expected that
scores or summer homes win , be
built .next year. .
The bay resort is being Improv
ed very rapidly,- Mr. Diehl says.
City water has been piped to tne
townsite, an electrical plant is be
ing built and other conveniences
provided. , '
The Winchester Bay Amuse
ment Company, which has the re
sort concessions, has purchased a
10 a ere tract to be used as a camp
ground. Right cottages have been
built, and the grounds are being
cleared for the construction of oth
ers and In preparation for the 1928
season. This camp ground will
have all of the conveniences of
the ordinary auto camp.
The townsite project was start
ed early in the spring hut because
of the delays In getting the road
construction underway the promo
tion work was not undertaken in
an active way until now.
Mr. Dleh'l will be in direct charge
of the work and will be located in

kane, was forced to land at Camas Valley, Oregon. He broke'
a wheel in landing but was unhurt.' ; , , i J,i ; ' ,
According to a telephone message from Richter's stole in
Camas Valley the plane landed in a cow. pasture near the
store at about 9:30 o'clock. A heavy fog has been hanging
over Camas Valley, since early morning making visibility very
poor and the flier was forced down on account of the' low
ceiling. In landing in the rough field the plane struck a' tut -and
blew a tire, damaging the wheel and making it necessary '
to wire for a new one from Portland. The wheel should arrive
here tomorrow morning and the landing gear will be repaired
at once.
'""."Rinehart, a Portland flier, stated that he was close, to
the lead in the race at the time of the accident, the leading
plane being' only about 200 yards ahead of him at the time
he was forced down. The leading plane was flying low over
Camas Valley. The flier stated that he had been bucking the
fog all morning, since the early start in San Francisco.
