Grants Pass Ekes Indians Stage Rally To Score 2 Touchdowns Huge Homecoming Crowd Gets Thrill As Locals Narrow 20-Poinr Lead The Roseburg high school In dlans came within an ace of mak ing last night's homecoming fes tivities letter perfect with an amazing display of fourth quar ter power, but couldn't overcome the three touchdown lead Grants Pass piled up in the first . half and lost a heartbreaker, 20 to 14. By halftime, it looked like the Indians were slated to end their home season as they had started it by taking a one-sided beating. But Roseburg turned the tables on the heavier Caveman squad in the second half, played the vis itors on even terms in the third quarter, then exploded with two touchdowns and threatened with a third in the final stanza. Every available seat at Finlay field was filled by the homecom ing crowd even standing room was a premium as Coach Cece Sherwood's boys fought from be hind in an effort to upset the far vored Cavemen. .- , Too Much Power ' The Indians made a valiant try, but it was just too much power in the person of Craft, the Grants Pass left halfback. The bulky backfield ace had his own way during that first half and no Roseburg defensive combination could stop him. Five '01 Grants Pass' first nine offensive plays saw Craft on the carrying end his fifth try good for a 17-yard sprint over right tackle to pay-dirt. Roseburg's Barry Kenny, who played a whale of a game the remainder of the contest, fum bled on his own 29-yard line on Roseburg's second play to set up the first Caveman touchdown. Grants Pass made it 15-0 midway through the second quarter with a touchdown pass from Graue to Miller, good for 36 yards, follow ing n siietnlnpH rirtvp lin the field from their own 22-yard line. Margin Increases The margin went to 20 points less than four minutes later when Miller and Graue teamed on the same pass play to work the ball to Roseburg's 22-yard stripe, an other pass to Craft good for 17 yards and a center buck by Quin ton, Caveman fullback. Craft ran through left tackle on a single wing formation to cross the goal line untouched. The kick was blocked, Grants Pass' only con version failure in three attempts.

(Staff ing threat came with four min utes gone in the second half, when Bill Wagner recovered a Grants Pass fumble on the Cave man 15-yard line. But a charg ing line messed up Roseburg pass attempts and the Indians relinquished the ball on the 19. Grants Pass runners brought fans to their feet at this point with several long runs, but the visitors wound up in a hole, fol lowing a pair of holding penal ties. Turning Point It was at this point that Rose burg suddenly came to life and the spark that did it was the In dians' first sizable gain a 25 yard pass from quarterback Ron nie Strickling to Dale Blanck. The quarter ended with the ball on tne urants rass ju-yara line, fourth down and still a long way to go. Roseburg struck, and struck fast in that final period. Refusing to kick on fourth down, Strickling tossed another pass this one good for 20 yards to Frank Ol son, who was dropped on the Grants Pass 10-yard line. Bill Van Horn raced to the one-yard stripe on an end sweep and Strickling sneaked it over from there. In 48 seconds a"fter the quarter opened, Roseburg rack ed up seven points on the touch down and Weber's kick. Four minutes later, Roseburg was again knocking at the Cave man's door, following a poor Grants Pass punt and a series of quick-opening running plays. Van Horn, Weber and Scott teamed to put the ball on the one-foot stripe. With fourth down coming up, Strickling crossed up the defense by calling for a pitchout to Van ! Horn, wno scored around rigni end. Weber's second conversion TO FLY!

Roseburg fought desperately for possession of the ball from then on and gained it with less than a minute left in the game. With time running out, it was strictly a passing game for che Indians. They made it to their own 47-yard line from the Rose burg 20, but the clock was against them and the final play a pitch-out to Van Horn around right end was good for only eight yards as the gun sounded. The game's outcome was' a double disappointment to 13 of the Roseburg players, who, as seniors, were performing on Fin lay field for the last time. Trib ute was paid to these future "alums" as well as graduates of former years, by the senior nigh school band during halftime cer emonies. , " To Coach Sherwood's band of Indians, there was some conso lation to be gained last night, fol lowing compilation of statistics.

William K. Weaver, 33 an un employed groom from Nogales, Ariz., pleaded innocent to seven charges of maliciously interfer ing with Rockingham race horses. While Weaver was being held for the April term of the Rock ingham county superior court during a hearing here, Los An geles police arrested forest (J. (Chub) Wilson of that city, on as many counts. Rockingham Park officials re called Weaver as the owner of a stable that was raced here back in 1941. According to thoroughbred rac ing protective bureau investiga tors. Weaver broke into Rocking ham Park barns on the night of Oct. 23 and inserted sponges in the nostrils of six of the nine horses that were entered in the next day s seventh race. Such tampering would hamper the horses breathing during tne race, won by Crisis, which paid $13.60 on a $2.00 wager. Thereupon Weaver, according to the T.R.P.B. authorities, tele phoned Wilson that the "fix" was in for Crisis. Wilson, Inves tigators charge, promised to bet $100 on Crisis for Weaver but failed to do so. Weaver, almost penniless when arrested, stood t" win $680 if his alleged illegal agreement with Wilson had been fulfilled. 16 Major League Teams Will Yie In Sunday Tilts NEW YORK, Nov. 5 (IP) Sixteen major league pro football teams will see action tomorrow, but the clash between Los An geles and Philadelphia in the Na tional circuit easily commands top billing.

The Eagles, defending league champions, top the eastern divi sion with five triumphs against one loss. Other National league contests tomorrow find Green Bay at Chi cago Bears, New York Bulldogs at New xorK Ulants, flttsourgn at Washington and Chicago Card inals at Detroit. ' Three A AC games are schedul ed: Buffalo at New York Yan kees, Chicago at Cleveland and San Francisco at Baltimore. Ther could be a three-way tie for the NFL's eastern division leadership after tomorrow's fire works. Pittsburgh and the Giants are deadlocked for second posi tion, each with four wins and two losses to date. Either can draw even with Philadelphia should the Eagles bow to the Rams.

Dusefte-Weaver Title Bout Tops Tonight's Buck Weaver of Indiana will defend hit Pacific coast light heavyweight wrestling title against the "challenge of French Canadian Georges Dusette at the Roseburg armory tonight. The time limit will be 90 minutes, e half-hour over the customary route. With two other matches end an exhibition by the "Indie Rub ber Man" on deck, e capacity crowd is certain for the show, according to Matchmaker Elton Owen. ' Weaver, with his step-over toe-hold, and Dusette with his full-nelson, are sure to give a Donnybrook performance. The muscular challenger is expected to be the popular favorite. The Greet Atlas, who considers himself as an attraction greater than Corgeout Ceorge, will be matched against Karl . Myers, rugged Milwaukee toughie. Atlas, with a supurb physique, will need more than muscle, however, to match Myers' flying body scissors.
