    Roseburg
Indian Team
Shows Power
In First Win
Van Horn Shows Class
With 35-Yard Sweep
For First Touchdown
By CHUCK PLUMMER
Bill Van Horn and Bob Scott,
Roseburg's slambang halfbacks,
behind much improved line play,
proved to have too much speed
and power (or Coquille's Red
Devils last night as they led the
Indian gridders to a 140 vic
tory. Roseburg's first touchdown
came early in the second period
when Van Horn took off on a
55-yard run around end for the
score. Fullback Frank Weber
converted.
Coquille threatened at mid-period
but an incompleted pass end
ed their drive and they punted
,'ut.
Drive Stopped
Roseburg threatened again late
in the period when two first
. downs by Scott and one by Van
-4 Horn brought the Indians to Co-
quille's 15, but the Indians lost
the ball on the eight.
Neither team threatened after
Roseburg's drive late in the sec
ond period and Roseburg led at
the half, 7-0.
The Red Devils kicked off at
the half and Bill Van Horn re
turned to the 40 for Roseburg,
but there the Indians were stop
ped and punted to Coquille. Here
the Ipdians got a break, when
the Coquille safety dropped tne
ball, and Roseburg recovered on
Coquille's 5-yard line. After an
unsuccessful quarterback sneak
by Ron Strlckling, Scott went
over on an off tackle smash
from the two for Roseburg's final
touchdown. Weber again con
verted to make it 14-0. Most of
the playing was In the middle
of the field in the latter part
of the period.
Again Threaten
Roseburg threatened again in
the fourth quarter when Van
Horn made two straight 13-yard
gains to the Coquille 15 but lost
the ball on the 12. Later in the
period, the Indians tried a tricky
double lateral play, from Strlck
ling to Scott to Weber and It
brought them to Coquille's 25,
hut the hall was lost on downs.
Coquille had the ball In her own
territory when the game ended.

High Scores Feature 6-Man
Football Games In County
Douglai county six-man football teams opened their season
by figuring in high scoring games Friday but opposing teams
were usually on the long end of the count.
The Canyonville team stepped
out of its ciass when it Journeyed
to Prospect to absorb a 510 shel
acking. Yoncalla Alums proved
they still had it by pushing across
seven touchdowns and wnackin j
the Yoncalla varsity 45-0. And
Klkton returned from another
non-league affair with Coos River
on the short end of a 3B-14 score.
No exception to the high score
rule was Glendale, which over
whelmed a small Glide team 52
0, to top scoring records for the
week, and Oakland which beat
Riddle, 6 0.
Fumbles Costly
Kumblitis and all around bad
playing was blamed by Canyon
ville Coach Ronald C. Krasky tor
his team's poor showing against
Prospect. Canyonville miscucs,
plus a heavier and stronger op
ponent kept the Douglas county
boys busv trying to keep the score
from mounting any higher. Coach
Krasky had a good word for three
of his boys. Ira Wheeler, Roy
Shuey and Dick Cloud, but prais
ed the play of Prospect's Nelson,
who scored three of his team's
touchdowns.
The Yoncalla Alums, compos
ed of several members of countv
championship teams, proved too
big and too fast for their young
er rivals in dropping the varsity
in convincing 450 fashion. The
Grads were granted a request
that the game be shortened to
four, ten-minute quarters which
was, according to one observer,
the reason the score failed to go
higher.
Strong on Defense
An excellent display of defen
sive power was exhibited in the
Riddle-Oakland game, according
to Oakland Coach Milban Aubin..
However, he bemoaned his
team's lack of offensive play.
The game's only touchdown
came in the fourth quarter as
Dave Rice took a reverse from
his fellow halfback, Pinky Hold
er, and scooted 12 yards to pay
dirt. The scoring play was set
up by Bob Hill's pass intercep
tion and 35-yard runback, placing
the ball 12 yards from Riddled
goal line.
Oakland nearly scored at the
end of the second quarter, but
with the ball on the Riddle two
yard line, time ran out.
Sutherlin Drops Starter
To Creswell By 13 To 0
Sutherlin dropped Its initial 11
man football eflort against Cres
well Friday afternoon by ab
sorbing a 130 defeat.
Both Creswell scores came on
long ground-gaining plays. Cres
well took a 6-0 halltime lead
when King galloped 25 yards
through the Sutherlin secondary
to score. The touchdown conver
sion failed.
The final scoring play was a
20-yard pass into the end zone
from Dersham to Trueblood. Der
sham converted on a quarterback
sneak through the line for the
extra point.
Twice during the game Suther
lin was within Creswell's ten
yard line, but lacked the power
to score.
A U. S. Navy pilot when he Is
ready to step Into his plane may
have 40 pounds of clothing and
gear on him.

Van Brocklin Aids
Los Angeles Rams
To Beat Detroit
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 24. (.T)
An untried rookie tied it and a
veteran won it.
And today a splendid Detroit
football team headed east for an
other National league game aft
er suffering a heart breaking
27-24 defeat by the Los Angeles
Rams in their opener.
Norman Van Brocklin, a tall,
cool young man who passed the
University of Oregon to fame
last yeaK was the rookie whose
spectacular throwing tied the De
troit team last night.
Bob Waterfield, the veteran,
was the gent who won the game
with two minutes, 15 seconds to
go, with a perfect field goal boot
from the 46-yard line.
With Los Angeles trailing, 24
17, in the fourth period, Clark
Shaughnessy suddenly dispatched
Van Brocklin to take over Water
field's quarterbacking job. It
was a move of desperation. But
Van Brocklin. making his pro
debut, came through. He clicked
off five out of eight strikes for
live. 10, 32, 11 and 18-for 76
yards, and the last one was a
touchdown throw to Elroy
Hirsch that tied the score at
24-24.
Soon after the Rams Inter
cepted a pass in enemy territory.
Waterfield and Van Brocklin al
ternated (or three downs, and on
the fourth down from the 46
Waterfield won the game with
a dead-eye place kick.
Drain Outplays
Rugged Oakridge
Team By 12 To 6
Drain outfought and outplay
ed a rugged Oakridge high
school football team last night
to show north Douglas county
fans that they really have a
winning team this year and came
up with a victory that was more
convincing than the 12-6 score
indicates.
A Drain line, termed by Coach
Bill Chatham as "excellent on
both offense and defense," paved
the way for a pair of Drain scat
backs and built up a two-touchdown
lead going into the final
minutes of the game.
Marvin Swearingen, Drain right
half, scored the initial counter,
after peeling off ground gains
of 30 and 25 yards. The second
touchdown came on an end
around play with Duncan, left
end, carrying the ball 25 yards
to score.
Longest run of the game was
a 40-yard scamper by 100-pound
Earl Simpson, Drain left half.
Lone Oakridge score came aft
er recovering a blocked punt on
Drain's 5-yard line. With the ball
on the Drain one-yard stripe, it
took three tries before Oakridge
backfield ace Bud Beasley could
power through the Drain line.
Primarily a ground game,
Drain's terrific line opened big
gaps in the opponent's front -vail
to shake the backfield men loose
for 14 first downs to Oakridge's
six.

With Double Win
By BILL BECKER
Aaeorlated Preaa Sporta Writer
One night after Hollywood
clinched the Pacific Coast league
pennant Oakland sewed up sec
ond place.
me uaks took a twin bill from
Portland, 62 and 32, last night
to make it mathematically Im
possible for third place Sacra
mento to overhaul them.
Rookie outfielder Bill Taylor
made his Oak debut with two
homers and a single, accounting
tor ail tne winners runs in the
second game. The slugging of the
young socker, down from Brem
erton In the Western Interna
tional loop, gave Al Gettel thp
nod over Vlnce Dibiasl in a tight
pitchers' battle.
The Oaks pulled the onener
out of the fire with a five-run
blast In the last half of the
seventh and final inning. Trail
ing 2-1 coming up for their final
bats, the Acorns tied it up and
then saw big Don Padgett blast
one over the fence with bases
loaded to end It with a flourish.
The double-barreled heroics
thrust the Oaks within 31 games
of Hollywood. The pennant win
ners eased up alter winning sev
en straight and Seattle carved out
a 7-2 win. Charley Schanz scat
tered eignt nits, including lrv
Noren's homer, for his 21st vic
tory. His Rainier mates kayoed
Glenn Moulder with live runs
in the third.
Sacramento assured Itself of
clear possession of third place.
Bob Gillespie -checked San Fran
cisco with six hits for a 3-2 vic
tory, the Solon's sixth straight.
It was the eighth defeat In a row
for the Seals. Gillespie notched
his 17th win as his mates ral
lied for a pair of decisive runs
off Harry Feldman in the sixth.
uos Angeles and San Diego
were fogged out at the Harbor

waited an hour and a half for
the pea soup to lift, but the man

for today.
UCLA Grid Coach Denies
Learning Iowa Secrets
IOWA CITY, la., Sept. 24. l.B
A former University of Iowa
football player slood accused to
day of telling Hawkeye grid se
crets to an opposing coach, who
promptly denied the charge.
Shortly after athletic ofliclals
revealed the alleged plot last
night without naming the "in
former" a two-year letterman,
still a student at the university,
said he is the man accused.
He Is Jim Lawrence, formerly
of Leavenworth, Kans., who play
ed center for Iowa in 1946 and
1947. But he declared his tele
phone calls to Henry (Red) San
ders, UCLA head coach, were
"purely social."
In his statement he was sup
ported by Sanders, whose Uclans
play tne Mawkeyes here this aft
ernoon. Iowa President Virgil Handl
er, commenting on the case, said
a "breach of canons" was Indi
cated. He added that "moral tur
pitude or intent could hardly be
condoned." and that "such a stu
dent would not be Justified In re
ceiving a degree from this uni
versity." Lawrence Is a senior student.
Athletic Director Paul Brech
ler issued a statement expressing
regret over the Incident and say
ing "so far as. we're concerned
the whole affair is closed."
