Defense Wall Of Foe Offers R.H.S. Worry Ashland Opposition To Be Tough: Game Will Be Last For 13 Seniors The Roseburg Indians go through one more session ol con tact scrimmage work today, the take it easy a day before tangling with the Ashland Grizzlies Fri day afternoon. This will be the only daylight game of the season for Roseburg and their last football encoun ter for 1949. For the 13 seniors on the squad, this Armistice day fame at Ashland will be their Inal appearance In Roseburg grid uniforms. Contrary to predictions, Coach Ccce Sherwood made it easy on the boys yesterday, placing most of the emphasis on a passing of fense and working against Ash land's tough defensive pattern. He characterized the Grizzlies' de fense as "almost a nine-man line," with two of the line back ers playing so close as to be a part of the forward wall. This sort of strategy has worked especially well against a passing team.-The theory is, that by holding up the offensive ends throwing In an -ejjtra pair of tacklers against the passer, most qltartcrbacks have no chance to spot receivers before being smothered. j The strategy worked against Grants pass' passing attack in last Friday's game. Grants Pass could complete only three of 14 passes, mainly because their pass ers had no time to spot receivers In the clear. :i This afternoon, the first string goes on defense to stop the sec ond string on running plays gleaned from , Ashland scouting reports. Kicking and receiving punts and more, work on. conver sions will fill In 'the rest of the afternoon. 6 The Newt-Review, Roseburg, Ore.-Wed., Nov. 9, 1949 The Great Atlas, LaChappelle Will Headline Three-Event Wrestling Card At Armory The Creat Atlas, the conceited Milter America of a few years ago, proved to be a great wrestler in hit Douglas county wrestling debut before a capacity crowd at the Roseburg armory last Satur day night.

UP) The Ore gon "O" has been partially blasted from its lecendary place atop Skinner's butte, but It will soon be completely restored. Art Johnson, University of Oregon student body president, said that plans have not been formed as yet for restoration of the con crete school letter, since the damage was not extensive. How ever, he promised that the "O'1 will be "better than ever." Police patrols made a three- hour search of the northern por tion of the city following a 5 a. m. explosion that awakened resi dents throughout the city. A sec tion of the lower right corner of the "O" had been demolished by dynnmltc, leaving a gap about four feet long In the 25-foot high letter. The only clue that might Indi cate those responsible for the vandalism was a new layer of wet paint on portions of the U. The paint, the police reported, is an' orange color, and so applied that It forms an "OSC" legend. Shotton Reappointed Brooklyn Dodgers' Boss BROOKLYN, UP) Burt (Barney) Shotton, who led Brook lyn to a pennant but lost the world series to the New York Yankees last season, has been re appointed manager of the Dod gers. wo terms were announced nut it is believed the 65-year old re sident of Bartow, Fia., was hir ed for one year at the same fig ures he received last season $25,000.

The opener will also mark the return of Jack O'Reilly, popular t ex-champion- of the Pa- cmc cuasi. ine ngni-neavyweigru will meet Jack Kiser, talented Portland stylist. Atlas, who boasts 19-inch biceps and a 53-lnch chest, will get the acid test against LaChappelle, who defeated Kiser In his last ap pearance here. The Franchman from the "old country" is one of the most aggressive matmen In the business, and his hangman hold Is one of the most deadly in the business. A great fundamental grappler, LaChappelle employs a the head-spin before clamping down the clincher, used also by Paavo Katonen. The 195-pound Callfornlan, how ever, is extremely confident of beating the Frenchman with his full-Nelson as a winning hold. He used the same hold in disposing of. Myers, who couldn't man the guns that Atlas carried. The three-star card promises to attract another near-record crowd. Reserved ringside seats are available at Powell's.
