Indians Halt
Practice For
Holiday Period
Jack Newby"s Indians knock
off practice after today to cele
brate Christmas, following a stre
nuous week of activity in pre
paration for two tough tilts
against Grants Pass Wednesday,
Dec. 28 and Tilamook, Thurs
day, Dec. 29. Both games will be
played locally. ,
Dale Blanck, who has been out
of action since the start of the
season because of a leg injury,
is back practicing with the team.
but Newby raid the heretofore
' ailing forward will not partici
pate in any games until after the
Ilrst ol tne year.
Still out with a broken hand is
Larry Henninger. His hand is in
a piaster cast. ,
Both Grants Pass and Tilla
mook are rated highly as basket
ball clubs go, Newby said, and
fans may again see the Indians
trying to overcome their height
and lack of experience disadvan
tage.
In spite of Roseburg's slow
start this season four Tosses in
four games, Newby indicated he
is well pleased witn tne improve
ment the boys are making in
their shooting and offensive and
defensive play on the practice
court
All members of the varsity
team are working extra hard to
make up what they lack in height
by furnishing extra portions of
speed as tney travel up ana
down the court.
"Get under the basket fur-
stest," is the keynote of New
by's strategy, and all hands are
worKing lo tms ena.
Ohio State's Bowl Team
To Enjoy Santa's Visit
PASADENA, Calif.,' Dec. 24
UP) Ohio State's Rose Bowl team
headed into its sixth practice day
today and a comparative light
anil was in prospect.
Tonight the squad will be ten
dered a Christmas party at the
Huntington hotel, each member
receiving presents from Santa
Claus, whose identity was unan
nounced. Meanwhile, a defensive
and passing practice was plan
ned, but nothing heavy in the
way of scrimmage, t',.'",
Two erstwhile ailing players,
halfbacks Vic Janowicz and Ray
Hamilton, were back in action.
Janowicz was still favoring an
ankle injury and probably won't
suit up until Monday. .
Hamilton, the team's leading
pass receiver, apparently is re
covered from an. indigestion at
tack. He got into passing prac
tice yesterday for the first time
since the Buckeyes initial work
out last Monday.

East Established
As Favorites Over
Western Gridders
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Dec.
24 The East has been est
Wished as a 7 1-2 favorite in the
annual East West Shrine charity
football game here against the
West All-Stars.
The odds did not overly please
Anay Kerr, one oi tne east coacn
es, who said:
"Right now, the West is a week
ahead of us in physical condition
and organization. We haven't had
a scrimmage and they've had
two."
And as for the workouts of the
two teams:
It was Lindy Berry day at Palo
Alto. The little Texas Christian
star halfback was threading the
needle with his passing. His
teammate, Eddie Le Baron of the
college of Pacific, also looked
good in the West's scrimmage.
It's a tossup as to which of the
two could steal the show for the
west.
The east worked again Without
contact. The men from east of
the Mississippi are just getting
acquainted witn tnelr mates first
names.
Cornell quarterback Pete Dor
set was the workhorse for the
third day. Dorset passed to his
receivers long and short with un
erring accuracy.
The East is still looking for
ward to the arrival of Arnold Ga-
liffa, Army T-formation quarter-
oacx. uaima ana Dorset will
carry the burden of the quarter-
backing duties lor tne East.

dirt on six occasions.
Waldorf admitted the picture
wasn't all black. He said:
"We have laid a good founda

get into condition. Down in River

duled to stay) well bring all the
loose ends together . . . ounef
ficiency? well, you can say we've
improved one half of one per

Oregon Webfoots Entrain
For Midwest Hoop Series
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON,
ren's "mighty midgets" entrain
a three-game road trip into the
won and lost record.
The Ducks split a series with
Stanford, winning 58 to 51 after
dropping a 70 to 67 thriller in the
last two minutes and now face
the strong Loyola of Chicago club
on Dec. 27 and move on to Iowa
City for a game with the Hawk
eyes of Iowa on Dec. 20. The
third game will also be with
Iowa, but the teams will move
to Madison, Wis., for the game,
half of a double-header which
also features Notre Dame and
Wisconsin.
Warren expressed pleasure
with the steady improvement of
the Webfoots In the last two
weeks. The Ducks have now won
half of their last four games
and lodked considerable better
even In the two which were lost
The Ducks owe their great ral
ly in the Stanford opener and
a large part oi tne secona game
victory to some great shooting on
the part of the four rabbit-fast
guards. Mel Krause account
ed for 26 points in the two games
and he was closely followed by
Bob Lavey with 23, Jack Keller
with 19 and Ken Hunt pickt I up
10 to run the total for the back-
count men to 78 for the two gam.
Coach Warren has lust about
decided the ducks will bank on
hustle and SDeed this season and
junk the tall men as a key part
of the system. Mel Streeter, a
six -loot tnree-incn sopnomore,
has ousted Bob Amacher, the
two-year letterman from the reg
ular center spot and his per
formances have indicated that he
will be Increasingly valuable to
tne ducks. ..
Oregon was witnout the servic
es of Paul Sowers for the two
games with the Indians and the
ace Duck, scorer may not be
able to make the trip east. Sow
ers pulled a muscle in his back
in the first minute of the opening
game with the Indians and was
forced to the sidelines for the re
mainder of the series.
If Sowers is out his place will
be taken by either Lynn Hamil
ton or Paul Cooper. Hamilton
opened against Stanford and was
Impressive.
The remainder of the Oregon
lineup will remain unchanged
from that of the last four games.
Will Urban, rapidly becoming one
of the best backboard men and
hook shots in the league, will hold
down the other forward spot.
Streeter will open at center and
Krause and Hunt will start it
guard. The second guard tandem,
Lavey and Keller, will be cer
tain to move in to keep the pace
hot.
There will be 12 Webfoots on
the swing east and the party will
be boosted to 15 with the inclus
ion of Warren, manager Herm
Lind and Dr. George Gualdager.
Warren said Urban, Sowers,
Hamilton, Cooper and Dale War
berg would be the forwards,
Streeter and Amacher the cen
ters and Krause, Hunt, Lavey,
Keller and John Neeley the
guards.

Wallick Finalist
In Friday Night's
Five-Man Battle
By CHUCK PLUMMER
Only five of the six wrestlers
showed up for the six-man bat
tle royal at the armory Friday
night, but Douglas county wrest
ling fans were treated to a real
show in the five-man contest.
The battlers were Leo Wallick,
Gordon Hessell, Mike Nazarian,
Jack Kiser, and Paavo Katonen.
The sixth man, Buck Weaver,
didn't show up. His absence was
attributed to either car trouble
or illness. .
The first man to leave the ring
was Katonen, after all the other
wrestlers ganged up on him and
fiinned him. Second was Nazar
an, when Kiser, Hessell, and
Wallick teamed up on him after
taking some of his dirty tricks.
That left Kiser, Wallick, and Hes
sell In the ring and finally, Hes
sell pushed Kiser over Wallick,
who knelt behind Kiser, and
pinned Kiser to put him out of
the ring.
Kiser and Nazarian
This elimination left Kiser and
Nazarian to battle for the semi
final, and Wallick and Hessell to
wrestle for the $200 championship
purse. Each match was a 30-mln-ute
time limit, two out of three
fall affair.
After 20 minutes of wrestling,
Nazarian had Kiser groggy from
a series of headlocks, hair pulling
and fist blows to Kiser's eye. But
just as it looked like Nazarian
was going to take the fall,
Kiser came to life and pulver
ized Nazarian with dropkicks -.nd
body slams. He finally took the
fall with a jacknife. The wrest
lers came back for the second
fall with only nine rtilnutes re
maining, and time ran out be
fore Nazarian could even the
count.
Exciting Bout
The final bout was an exciting
one, with rough, but not dirty,
Wallick pitted against fast,
trlckey Hessell, and the two
battled It out for 19 minutes be
fore Wallick finally took the tall.
The match opened fast, with Wal
lick coming out of his corner in the
customary way, out Hessell
rushed across the ring and drop
kicked Wallick and almost pinned
him, but Wallick escaped Hessel's
body press. After about 17 min
utes, the two wrestlers were both
so weary they could hardly stand
up and barely dragged them
selves around the ring, but the
finish was exciting, as Wallick
delivered a few forearm blows,
then took the fall with a pile
driver and a body press. Hessell
had to be carried out of the ring
by referee Elton Owen, but re
turned for the second canto.
Wallick started out the second
fall by slugging 'Hessell on his
very sore neck, it affected Hes
sell so badly that he couldn't turn
back walllcK's attacks. When
Wallick had Hessell in the air
for another pile driver, Owen
stopped the bout and awarded
Wallick the purse, 'apparently
afraid of injuring Hessell's neck
badly.
the north and south half schools
will hold tournaments at Drain
and Riddle, to determine the
champions . in their respective
areas.
The two top clubs will then
meet at Yoncalla Union high
school, Feb. 24, at which time
the Douglas county B league
champion will be determined at
the county tournament..

Huskies Beat

Washington State Slump
Big Question Mark In
Northern Division Play
By The Associated Press
Are the Washington State Cou
gars in a temporary slump or
were tney over-rated in tneir pre
season buildups? They're return
ing home to Pullman today with
only one victory salvaged in a
five-game road trip.
The men of Friel, tabbed as
the team to beat in the Northern
Division of the Coast conference,
succumbed last night to Wyom
ing's Cowboys, 43-37, at Laramie.
While the Cougars were run
ning up a six-game winning
streak at the start of the 1949-50
campaign, Coach Jack Friel' tri
ed to minimize reports that he
had the strongest team In the
division.
By contrast, Washington's Hus
kies are confounding the form
chart experts who had written
them off as too young and Inex
perienced. A 62-56 triumph over
Stanford ran the Huskies' record
to eight wins In nine starts.
Idaho, the only other Coast con
ference outfit to see action, drop
ped its fourth game in six on the
road to Nebraska at Lincoln, 66
45. There was little other action In
the Northwest during the holiday
lull Eastern Washington, one of
the top teams of the Evergreen
conference, traveled to 'ewiston,
Idaho, to trim northern Idaho col
lege of Education, 78-60. That
completed the Friday night slato.

No Clock Stop
Permitted During
Final 2 Minutes
SEATTLE, Dec. 24 UP) Paci
fic Coast Conference basketball
teams will not be able, to stop the
clock for substitutions in the fi
nal 120 seconds of action but
that's as far as the PCC will go
this season in revising the con
troversial two-minute foul rule.
Abb Curtis, supervisor of offi
cials for the conference, wrote
the Puget Sound Sportswriters
and Sportcaster association yes
terday: "This' is not the solution to han
dling the game in the closing
stages, but our-coaches feel that
it is some Improvement on the
present rule ... this is a na
tional rule and there seems little
likelihood of a sudden reversal
by such a body."
He said the time clock-substitution
revision will shorten
games by approximately 2 1-2
minutes. Under present rules It
takes from 6 1-2 to 7 minutes to
play the last 120 seconds. Curtis
estimated that with no time out
for lineup changes, the span can
be cut to 4 to 41-2 minutes.
