Jayvees'Tilt Won, 18-14, By Myrtle Point Visitors' Touchdown In Last Three Minutes Of Play Decides Battle The Junior Varsity Warriors ended their season Saturday a season disastrous to the win-loss record, but highly profitable from the standpoint of expert encc gained with an 18-14 loss to the Myrtle Point Jayvees. Until the final few minutes of the game, it looked to be the Warriors second win 01 tne sea son. But with less than three min utcs left in the game, a Myrtle Point pass play good for 45 yards and a touchdown put the visitors nneaa. up to mac time, the Roseburg Jayvees were pro tect Inc a 14-12 lead. The loss was the sixth In seven starts for the Warriors hardly an enviable record. But Coach Norm West took a different view of the season, pointing out that every man on tne KoseDurg jun ior Varsity squad saw action In every game this year. That pol icy, which often sacrifices games won for experience gained, is new to Roseburg grid teams this year and is a part of the overall plan to provide tne nign scnool varsity squad witn veteran can didates at the opening of com ing grid seasons. Panocses Post Victory The Junior high school Papoose Babes was the only local team to salvage a win from this foot ball weekend, trouncing Cottage Grove youngsters 31-14 on Finlay field balurdny. The entire Babes squad, com posed largely of seventh graders with a sprinkling of small eighth graders, was praised by Coach Kddie Wyatt for the good team work shown, Wyatt said tackling was good and effective blocking gave Roseburg backficlcf men a chance to go for long gains. Trailing 14-12 at the end of the first half, the Babes took the cue from the high school game Fri day night to come back strong In the last half. Most of the Babes' scoring came on off-tackle plays, with one of the touch downs the result of a kick-off runback. Coach Wyatt said his players will continue to practice this week, with the hope that tenta tive plans for another game will materialize. Pointing out the dif ficulty in scheduling gamrn for his seventh grade crew, Wyatt said very few schools near here have teams In that age group. A lack of interest has made attendance at these games very small. This lack of ticket re oelpts, said Wyatt, makes financ ing of this team a difficult prop position. Inter-clty rivalry ls thus held to a minimum because of the expense Involved, he said. A light year means a distance of about six trillion miles. We Ford Dealers know SJ' I Rot & Oak 6 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore.-Mon., Nov. 7, 1949 Roseburg Indians Rated By Coach As Better Than Team That Won Friday Night Game Roseburg's Friday night loss to a highly-favored Grants Pass football team elicted comment from many quarters, but none was quite as pertinent as the post-game words of Coach Cece Sherwood. Coquille Victor Over Sutherlin Sutherlln high school surpris ed many of the experts Saturday by scoring twice against Co quille, an AA school, but lost by a onesided 46-13 margin In a foot ball game played on the Suther lln home field. School Sunt. William Riddle- harger reported the Sutherlln team was outplayed during the entire contest by the older, more experienced Coquille Red Lievlls. Playing their first year of 11 man football, Sutherlin failed to play heads -up ball during the game and coumn c seem to piug the gaps in their forward wall, opened by a last-charging Co quille line. Coquille's weak pass defense was used to advantage by the Sutherlln team, with one score coming on a Wally Beamer-to-Steve Danchock throw and the other set up by passing. Coquille scores came on end around and line plays, a complet ed pass and a pass interception. Four Are Knifed In Football Game Riot In Detroit DETROIT. Nov. 5 P) A thousand howling, fist -swinging fans poured from the stands last night and broke up a hotly con tested high school football game with a riot in which three per sons were knifed. Two luuiball players were knocked unconscious. A police man was slightly injured. Scores were battered and bruised. Fighting between players In the final minutes of the game be tween Melvindale and River Rouge schools set off the riot. Passions had risen to fever pitch as Melvindale struggled to overcome a one-touchdown ad vantage held by its old rival. Both teams were unbeaten. Mrs. Viola Higgins, 34, a Ne gro, was in serious condition at Wayne county hospital with a stab wound In the back. Her hus band, Blanch, 44, was held on a charge of felonious assault. After the fighting broke up In the stadium, other battles broke out In the streets. Illggins said a gang of white youths pulled him and his wife from their car a block from the stadium. Although the game was never completed, River Rouge was awarded a 7 0 victory. COFFEE PRICE UP PORTLAND IP) The expect ed coffee price increase arrived Saturday. The wholesale price rose to a range of 68 3-4 to 71 1-2 cents a pound, after two major distrib utors raised their prices 7 and 10 cents. .yni-f- f ........ HERE'S 1 on,, $17.80 Co Bestl Lz. Fords LOCKWOOD MOTORS 7 himt wwuiKJWSHMtfnP "Friday night, we were a bet ter ball club than Grants Pass." Sherwood said. "The two teams were even Stephen the first quar ter. They ran all over us in the second, but we were way ahead of them the whole last half." The coach was definite on that description of the disastrous se cond quarter, saying Roseburg looked "helpless' on offense as well as defense. Many of the fans who packed Finlay field sta dium were Inclined to agree with Sherwood, as Miller, the big Caveman left end, paved the way with blocking for ground-gaining end runs then fooled Roseburg's defense to catch one pass good for a score and another to set up the final touchdown. But the second half was a dif ferent story and coaches and spectators again agreed on that opinion. For the first time this season, the Indians played their best ball when a lopsided half time score led many to believe the cause was a lost one. Trail ing by 20 points, Roseburg came back on the field aiming for an upset and they came mighty close to it. Except for brief flashes, Grants Pass was com pletely outclassed, while the In dians seemed to improve as the game wore on. Good spotting and smart coaching was responsible for stopping that end sweep the Cavemen used to pick up first downs. Sherwood Indicated that halftime talks also stopped the "mental lapses" suffered by a Roseburg back on pass defense. As a result. Grants Pass was effectively bottled up and each rime KoseDurg got tne Dan, tne Caveman lead was threatened. Aside from Roseburg's great comeback try, Coach Sherwood Insisted the Indians weren t play In? better ball than in other re cent games. What pleased him most, however, was that Rose burg came from behind and were threatening right up to the final gun. Ashland Next Opponent The Indians go through a light workout today, getting out the kinks and re-hashing mistakes made In Friday night s game as they prepare for the sesaon fi nale against the Ashland Llth- lans. Sherwood's coaching chore will not be an easy one this week. Aside from the fact that a team which loses a close one might suffer the following week, Sher wood pointed to the defense Ash land win tnrow at his Indians this Friday. He said the Lith ians use mainly a nine-man line. with the defense often placing ten men in position to stop the ball carrier. Another point to be stressed will I a wav to stoo stop Jerry Langer, Ashland's lliu-pounci luilDacK, termed by Coach Sherwood as "one of the best In the state." Bulldogs are not good plane travellers. They have difficulty breathing at high altitudes. - . ..I.,. .ikV...MUMtd.i WHAT WE DOl Impact front wheal bearings' Repack wheel bearings .

Lynn Waldorf's Californians face Oregon this weekend and Stanford the following Saturday to close out the league schedule. The Bears only undefeated team In the league outscorcd Washington State, 33-14, in unim pressive fashion last week. The meeting- with Oregon will be a tough one, in spite of the latter's spotty record. Oregon hasn't for gotten that California last year refused to consider a playoff when the two teams tied for the conference title. In the voting for the Rose Bowl representative, California was selected. That still rankles Ore gon. The Webfoots who lost 27-28 to Washington last week, will invade the Bear lair pitched high. Stanford popped Into the con ference championship picture with a loud bang. The Indians finally nut their potentially pow- ertut game togetner to pulverize the favored Southern California Trojans, 34-13. This l the same U.S.C. team that fro..t running California had such a difficult time defeating, 16-10. As a result of Stanford's sen sational upset win, the confer ence title may be up for deci sion when the Indians tackle Cal ifornia in the "big game" at Palo Alto, Nov. 19. The expectation is that Calllornla will turn Dacit Or egon, and Stanfdrd will defeat Idaho. Stanford has the easier chore. Idaho's disappointing season in creased in scope Saturday when it was beaten by Oregon State, 25-35. Another team still in the run ning is the University of Califor nia at los Angeies, witn lour league wins to one defeat. Stan ford, with three victories, lost a conference contest to U.C.L.A., 7-14. California's eight-game win streak includes five in the cir cuit, and one was over U.C.L.A. 35-21. OSC To Face Michigan State The Rose Bowl race, therefore, was still uncertain as the leading teams swung into the last two weeks of play. U.C.L.A. takes on improved Washington Satur day and win nave to De at peak form to remain in the running The UCLAns had a layoff last weel( Oregon State, which now has its wing back formations func tioning In winning style, enter tains Michigan State at Portland, Saturday. The Oregon .State at tack is patterned after the Uni versity of Michigan offense. Whether It Is potent enough to outclass Michigan State is ques tionable, particularly after the latter's good, if losing showing, against Notre Dame 21-34. Washington's comeback, after six losses in a row, heartened its followers. The Huskies matched Oregon touchdown for touch down. Halfback Jim Rosenzweig accounted for the one-point mar gin of victory by placekicking all four conversion tallies. Oregon's Chet Daniels, who had kicked 17 straight, missed after his team s initial score. More Than 1,000 Elk Killed In Special Shoot YAKIMA. Nov. 7 7P The first three days of a combined special elk shoot and the regular season took a toll of more than l.OCU elk In the Yakima-Kittitas herd, district game supervisor Fred Van Arsdol reported.

Weaver Defeats Dusette; Atlas Disables Myers George Dusette's vulnerable leg lost him the title attempt again to Buck Weaver before a house of standing-room-only Sat urday night at the armory. One of the finest cards ever featured in the Roseburg ring was put on by Elton Owen, matchmaker. In the opener, a 20-minute, one fall affair, newcomer Jimmy Gonzales whipped Pete Bartu in 11 minutes with a spectacular new hold, the "Iron. Cross." "The Great Atlas" was featur ed in the next bout against tall Carl Myers. Atlas Immediately became unpopular with the fans by parading around and show ing off his fancy physique. In the first few minutes of the match, It looked like Myers was in for a bad beating, as Atlas threw him around the ring at will, but Myers finally started punching on his own and got back into the running for the match. Atlas won the first fall with a punishing full-nelson, which Myers held out against for a long while before giving up, considering Atlas' huge arms and shoulders. Refer ee Elton Owen climbed into the ring and announced that Myers was unable to come back for the second fall, with a vertebrae out of place and the match was awarded to Atlas. Atlas got the microphone and started to make an announce ment to the crowd about his body-building course, but he was drowned out by boos for about ten minutes and finally gave up and left the ring. Freak Show Amazes The "India Rubber Man" put on a show that had the fans open mouthed and astounded. First, he dislocated both arms and wrap ped them around his neck so that with his left arm he could scratch on his right side. Anoth er great feat was making his right arm longer than his left, by a foot. Then the Incredible man jumped rope on one foot, while the other was wraDDed around his neck. Then he brought out a 11 3-4 inch hoop that he couldn't even get his foot through while it was sitting flat on the mat, and worked his whole body through the small sphere by dis locating arms, back, legs and hips. This performance dazed the fans, but the next one really was a dilly. The rubber man Dut on an overcoat, dislocated his back and turned clear around from his waist on up. He was walking one way and looking another. This was the finale to the show. Dusette Loses By Leg The main event was a thriller with Weaver finally winning out over Dusette's weak leg. Weav er's famous backward leap for me necK cracker bacKllred on him in the first fall. Dusette was off guard, at least he must have looked off guard to Weaver, and Buck tried that flying backward leap. He ended up in a full-nelson as Dusette had grabbed him easi ly when he came back. Dusette won the first fall with the full. nelson In 22 minutes. Weaver came back In the sec. ond fall and began working on Dusette's weak lot? and finallv after a series of leg leverage locks, Dusette gave up to Weav er's furious leg stomps. Dusette naa a mignty sore leg when he left the ring, and it was still pain ful when he appeared for the fi nal. Weaver went rieht to work on It and in a short ti e had dished out so much punishment to the leg that Dusette gave up to a leg leverage lock. Texas College Halfback Still Tops Grid Scorers NEW YORK. Nov. 1-im Lit. tie McMurry College of Abilene. Tex., today still pointed to half back Brad Rowland as the top individual scorer of college foot ball. Instead of weakening In the stretch as the season nears its end, the consistent Rowland con tinues to widen the gaD over his closest pursuer, Bill Young of un beaten Hillsdale, Mich. Brad last week increased his margin over loung irom lb to 20 points. In eight games, Rowland has clicked for 18 touchdowns and 108 points. Young's record for seven games shows 12 touchdowns and 16 conversions 'for 88 points. TO FLY!

Multiflora Rose Plants Available For Game Rearing The Oregon State Game com mission announces that a suffi cient supply of multiflora rosa is now available to permit a lim ited free distribution to organiz ed sportsman's groups located in western Oregon. It is believed that most clubs haye members who know of sites where the planting of this living fence would be of benefit to both the landowner and upland birds. If organizations are interested in establishing such a club-sponsored project, it is suggested that the group select planting sites with the cooperation of the land owner. After this is done, the club secretary should notify the Game commission of its project and request the number of shrubs desired, from 500 to 1,000, along with the date, and place of delivery desired. Plantings of multiflora rose should be made' In western Oregon from Novem ber first throught the winter with -the exception of freezing weather. The commission staff is con tinuing its practice of making plantings on farm lands at the owner's request. However, it is felt that sportsman's club-sponsored projects will present an ex cellent opportunity through co operative habitat Improvement work to bring the farmer and the sportsman to a closer under standing of their mutual pro blems. If the technical assistance of a game commission employee is desired, every effort will be made to meet such request. Maybe .
