Pulls Springfield off Top Spot Football Thriller Won by Indians On Home Field, 13-6 Improved Defensive Power Of Roseburg Line Marches Irs Superiority on Offense' Whatever may have been said heretofore of defensive weakness In the Rosehurf! Indians' forward wall, It was far from evident last nlt'ht, when an Inspired Hose burg Illph school fool bn II sound outplayed the Springfield Millers in all department of the game and toppled their opponents from first plare In the TrICounly league. Outcliarglng their heavier opponents, the Roseburg linesmen fully demonstrated their superior ity both on offense and defense by the fact that they never once took time out for Injuries and made but few substitutions, while Springfield men were stretched out breathless time nnd again and kent a constant string of substi tutions going in and out of the Came. The great improvement in the play of the Roseburg line was by far the outstanding feature of the game and so well ilid the forward wall perform its task on offense that n. rt Young, Rose burg star halfback, had all the time In the world on his passes, lie was so accurate with his sharpshooling, as a result of not being rushed bv opposing play ers, that the Indians made the remarkable record of completing jo out 01 i4 losses. Millers' Threats Baffled The Indians needed all of their suddenly acquired defensive strength to slop the running at tack of I.ce Todd and Wavne Seaman, the shlftv and fleet ball carriers of the Miller baekfield, who were constant threats throughout the exciting contest. Roseburg lost no time In start ing their attack, for. after receiv ing the opening IdtkolT. Kiev marched from their own 2!i-ynrri stripe to the Springfield goal, with Young scintillating in the attack. After an attempted pass on the first play was knocked down, Young got awav on a wide sweep behind fine blocking to carry the ball to the no-yard stripe. A second pass attempt was grounded and a thrust at the center of the line picked up two yards. Young tossed a nice pass to Wimherly, hut the play was ruled as interference and' Rose burg was given the ball on Hie Springfield .10-yard marker. Wells picked up six yards through the center nnd Young flipped a pass to Myers on 'he Springfield 21 yard sli'ine. Calkins carried the hall to the 10-ynrd stripe on a Statue of I.lberlv tilav and a short pass. Young to Wlmherlv, put the Indians on the (iynrd marker from which point Young again raced mound end to score anil place kicked the extra point, with Wimberlv holding, In put (he In dians out in front, 7 to 0, n the first seven minutes of play. Todd and Seaman teamed on running plavs to earrv the ball to Roseburg's Kiyard line on the next series of plays, but were hurled bark for losses to the .10 yard stripe bv fast charging nnd then got a break when Todd's punt was grounded on the 1-yard line. From behind his own goal line. Youier hooted out to mid field, but Todd, aided bv excellent blocking, returned the ball to the Roseburg 1 vard stripe and then pushed through center to score. His attempted drop kick for con version was low. leaving Rose burg ahead, 7 to 0. Mispl.iys Mar 2nd Period The second period was filled With fumbles nnd each team had n scoring threat nullified by mis plavs. The Indians marched from mldfleld to the Springfield 10-ynrd line, only to lose the ball on n fumble. Springfield was held for no enln nnd was forced to kick nnd Roseburg again start ed down the field, onlv to fumble again and lose possession of the ball on the Springfield .17-vard stripe, but n moment later Todd, hit hard, fumbled n lateral and Anderson recovered for Roseburg on the Sprlnrfleld ir-yard mark er. Then Wlmherlv caught a pass and was on Ills way to a touchdown, when he. too, was overtaken by fumhilltls and lost the ball to Springfield on their own 21, but Springfield was un able to keep possession of the ball for Seaman fumbled and the ball was recovered bv Single for Roseburg on I he Springfield .IS, from which point the Indians pushed to (lie 21 as the half end ed. Tony Anderson, tearing in from his end position to soil! pass at temps, halted Springfield deep In their own territory after the Mil lers had taken the kick-off open ing the third period and Todd was forced to punt, getting away a kick to his own IO-yard stripe, pfter the boot was almost blocked. Young laid a pass Into the arms of Wlmherlv. and then raced j around nnd took the hall hark from Wimherly on a lateral In a piny that was good for six yards. Wells punched center for a first down on the .Springfield 29. Young then faded back and rifled a bullet pass straight down field lo Calkins who scored from the Springfield 15-yard line. The conversion attempt failed, hut Hoseourg had a 13 to 0 lead which proved to he the final score. The balance of the game, how ever, was not without thrills-, for the Millers, ,'i;h Toud .Seaman and Thlennes, came back with a strong running attack which the Indians succeded in halting on their own 18-yard marker. A short time later Springfield again put on a hard drive which ended on the Ki yard stripe, when Wells intercepted Todd s pass to Sea man and raced the ball back to the Springfield .15. from that point Roseburg gained to the 2.1 yard stripe but was held for downs, and in turn stopped the .-ipringiicw attack, forcing Todd to punt, and the game ended with Roseburg in possession of the ball on their own 29-yard line. Millers Yanked From Tod Roseburg's victory pulled the heretofore undefeated Millers out of first place and that spot was taken over by University high which has no defeats, but one tiethat with Roseburg -on its record.

The raid urion Naples wits the fourth in the last ten days. A commutrloue said nine civilians were killed at Lacata and more than a score Injured.

German aircraft shot down three British planes in aerial ' fighting over the Marmarica zone, the high command said. It Duce Shakes Uo Guild Behind the battle lines, reports of mounting unrest in Italv were at least partially borne out as Premier Mussolini transferred or replaced 60 fascist guild officers In the most sweeping shake-up in years. Nineteen of Italy's 22 guilds which control the country's eco nomic production were affected by the changes. No official reason was given for the shake-up but observers were quick to interpret it as a move to counter public com plaints against drab economic conditions in Italy. Ex-U. S. Destroyer Sunk !
