scoring opportunity, when a pass
to him went through his arms
and hit him In the face.
The popular three-sport assist
ant coach, (his first year here
last year), was recently elevated
to the post of head baseball men
tor at the Roseburg high school,
replacing George Erlckson, who
Is now principal at the high

Headlines From Pennant

Ralph Kiner, Pittsburgh's fence

His first coaching duty took
him to Elgin, Ore., where he
headed all sports the one year
he was there. He summed up his
first coaching experience with
"We won a few moral victories."
West entered professional ball
briefly, playing with the Salem
Senators part of a season, a farm
club of the Portland Beavers. He
was optioned out to Twin Falls
from the Salem club, but an ail
ing hack caused him to be re
leased. West started out as an outfield
er In high school, then replaced
the shortstop when the latter
was ill. Wes moved to second
base, where he became part of
a "keystone combination" that
racked up more double plays in
one season than any other duo in
the league.
He signed a contract with Cin
cinnati, but was talked into with
drawing by his parents, who felt
he was too young to enter the
professional ranks.
West now plays first base. The
change to first was suggested by
his coach In college, "for the
good of the team." The coach felt
the effective shortstop second
base combination that West and
his teammate proved to be, would
work to better advantage, if
West, of the powerful arm. was
moved to first, while the short
stop took over the hot corner.
West will continue to head the
Roseburg Junior varsity football
and basketball clubs, in addition
to coaching varsity baseball.

Australian Tag
Team Event On
Armory. Mat Go'
An Australian tag-team match,
the most popular of professional
wrestling by products with Doug
las county followers, will be feat
ured at the Roseburg Armory
arena Saturday night and
Matchmaker Elton Owen has
booked a sparkling array of tal
ent. Stocky Knellson, the rough-and-tumble
villian from Tennessee,
will return for the first time this
season, teaming with Leo Kar
linko, the "Mad Russian," in a
tandem tilt against a pair of ex
tremely popular scientific mat
men Pierre LaBelle and Al
Szasz. LaBelle, the talented
French-Canadian, was the onlv
one of the quartet to appear here
last week, and he took a techni
cal decision over Pete Bartu.
In two preliminary one-fall
matches, LaBelle will be matched
against Knielson and Szasz will
clash with Karlinko. The bout
might well furnish local fans
wilh some of the most dynamic
action of the season.
Hairy Elliott, one of the best
known wrestling figures in the
Northwest a few years ago. will
be assigned the tough task of
officiating the three skirmishes.
When a law student at the Uni
versity of Oregon ten years ago,
Elliott was considered one of the
top performers on the Pacific
coast and he won several titles.
Since then and until the war he
was the No. 1 refree In the area.
One of the most intelligent men
ever to follow the sport that
now boasts of many college grad
uates, Elliott was a wrestling
stylist. Although well known
throughout the state, Elliott will
be making his first local appear
ance. Fans can be assured that If
the wrestling is as good as El
liott's officiating, the entertain
ment will be topflight.

Coach Sanders
At UCLA Meets
Untried Players
By BOB MYERS
LOS ANGELES, Sept. U.fJP)
Coach Henry R. (Red) Sanders,
who left the security of his alma
mater, Vanderbilt, for a more
Krecarious career at UCLA, gets
is first contact with the Pacific
Coast brand of football Friday
night.
His team, the Bruins or
Uclans, engages Oregon State in
Coliseum, and the man from the
south with the pleasant d-awl
frankly admits he doesn't kne-.v
what to expect.
Tis peculiar anticipation may
continue all season, it being a
chronic condition with men who
coach football.
It may apply double to UCLA,
however, for the Bruins have al
ways been somewhat unpredicta
ble. The likeable Sanders came to
UCLA with his eyes wide open,
and promptly promised no mira
cles. He's a sound single wing
craftsman, a fundamentalist; de
manding in a sense and appar
ently well established with the
grid talent on hand.
Whether he has been able to
Instill the single wing after four
seasons of the Tplay at UCLA
remains to be seen. Oregon State
employes the single wing, too.
Sanders has 25 lettermen from
a team that won three and lost
seven games last year, including
a 28 0 loss to so-so Oregon State
eleven.
His backfleld ace is a scrappy
little veteran at the tailback po
sition, Ernie Johnson. The Sacra
mento speedster was noted as a
scatback last year and now has
added passing to his repertoire.
the football team and the Rose
burg high school band will also
participate in the rally.
Yell queen Pat will be aided by
Jackie Daniels and Willa Wil
shire. Miss Mears warns that children
below junior high school rank
should not participate in the ser
pentine, which may prove too
strenuous for the pre high school
groups. .
