Indians Defeat Tillamook, 35 To 32 First Victory For RHS "5" In Six Starts Lead Seesaws 'Til Final Quarter, When Locals Go Ahead, Nose Out Visitors By DAN MINDOLOVICH For the first time this season, the Roseburg Indians looked like a basketball club. They missed a lot of shots, but the fast-breaking, razzle-dazzle style of play dis played by the locals more than made up- for the inaccuracies at the basket, last night at the high school gym. A strong Tillamook Cheese maker squad bowed 35-32 against Jack Newby's varsity quintet, after four quarters of close ball nlatrlna that saw hnth tofimi Oflln the lead. The Indians stayed ahead most of the way, but the visiting Cheesemakers managed to fur nish enough steam to knot the count at 19-all as the half-time horn sounded. At the three-quarter mark, the visitors forged ahead, 30-26, but Newby's thinclad outfit never gave up and played basketball un til the final second, making a suc cessful bid for the win during the final quarter. In the last quarter the visitors were able to score only once. Roseburg defensive action proved to be enough to hold the 1948 state tourney finalists until time ran out. Strlckllng Star Performer Although nearly all orange and black players distinguished them selves under the basket, Ronnie Strlckllng, high scorer for the Indians with 14 points, was mas ter of that particular phase of play. He managed to scoop up re bound after rebound, pivot, and slam the ball home for another two points during the course of the game. Buddy Mathews and Mickey Coen, starting Roseburg for wards, also came in for a fair share of applause as a result of backboard work and point-accumulating talent. Frank Olson, Indian center, paced Strlckllng at the basket on rebounds. For the visitors, Jake Jacobs earned most of the laurels with accurate tosses almost from the center of the court. He plied up 14 points mostly from the long range position. Story of the Game Roseburg's Dexter Garey start ed the scoring, taking the ball from the opening jump, to lay one in for two points. Strickling and Coen followed up with two more baskets, then the visitors took time out to look over the situation. Again, Strickling and Coen tip ped in one apiece, and although the visitors managed to sink 'em, they never evened up with the Indians and the quarter score fa vored the home club 13-10. Strickling started the scoring in the second quarter with a push shot, then two Roseburg fouls ac counted for as many Tillamook points. Strickling continued to score for Roseburg, first with a lay-in, then a long one to put Roseburg's tally at 19. The visitors came back strong in the closing seconds of the half, and three shots by Jacobs, one from up close and two from 'way out, tied up the score 19-19. The third quarter saw both teams score baskets almost alter nately, but again in the closing minutes, the Cheesemakers gal loped ahead, thanks in part to Jacobs' ability to sink 'em from any distance, Mathews did most of Roseburg's scoring this quar ter, sinking two field goals and a foul shot. Frank Olson copped the other two-pointer from close in. Behind 30-26 as the fourth Quar ter started, Mathews narrowed the gap with a gift throw, but Madding pushed in a basket for two, to give his team a 32-27 edge. Then Olson of Roseburg Inn- ped one inland Larry Freeman did the same. Roy Van Horn's lone field goal of the evening, a pivot shot from under the laskct, put Roseburg in the lead for good. at ii-62. A lot of shooting, missing, and running brought down the curtain on Roseburg s first win In six starts this season, With a minute to go, Stricklng captured the ball, dribbled to kill time. Two visitor fouls, prompted TONIGHT AT ARMORY Coast Light-Heavyweight Wrestling Crown At Stake The Pacific coast light-heavyweight wrestling championship will be at stale at th Roseburg armory arena Friday when Jack O'Reilly of Australia defends his newly-regained title against the challenge of Buck Weaver, the erstwhile champ from Indiana.

Only two points were gar nered by Tillamook in the last quarter. Although the Indians displayed near-excellent form last night, it must be said, In Tillamook's favor, that they had just finished a four game tour of southern Oregon with their engagement at Rose burg, having faced and lost to Klamath Falls, Grants Pass and Medford earlier In the week.
