Marshfield Beats Pirates Show Fine Form In Local Team Keeps Up Enthusiam, Despite One-Sided Contest Tht Roseburg Indians chalked up their sixth loss in seven starts this season, when the Marshfield Pirates dumped them 66-40 Fri day night at the senior high gym nasium. However, it must be said that the Indians looked good to the fans in losing. Not once did the nearly-full section of seated fa..s display a "lost cause" attitude, over the locals' continued inabil ity to gain the lead or come anywhere near tieing up the game. The orange and black-clad lads ' fought the visitors under the bas kets and up and down the court, displaying a good sense of timing and aggressiveness all the way. '4 A battery of sharp-shooting PI ' jt rate talent continually pecked away at the bucket, ringing up point after point. The Indians on the other hand, showed up to be an eager, but highly inaccurate group of basketeers. Fall to Connect Time after time Roseburg shooters failed to connect after repeated shots at the basket. The Indians' loss could not be charg ed to lack of headwork. It boiled down simply to lack of aim. But not so the Pirates. It made little difference if a visiting thin clad was under the net or 30 feet out; the ball sailed unerringly, through the hoop. Sparking the visitors were Bar ney Holland, who totaled 19 points, including three free throws; Wayne Frostad, with 11 points, and Milt Schults and Ron Robbins, each with 10. Roseburg's Dexter Garey led the locals with four free throws and five field goals, for a total of 14 points. Two desperation tosses from near-midcourt by Garey brought down the house as the ball twanged the twine. Ronnie Strickling continued to be the top-notch tussler under the boards, while Frank Olson, the only man to foul out, and Buddy Mathews made themselves known to the visitors in this area. Both clubs committed 20 fouls apiece. Marshfield made 14 free throws good to Roseburg's 12. Marshfield took the initial lead from the starting jump; held it for the duration of the game. Roseburg - trailed miserably at the end of the first quarter, 24-8. The Indians sneaked up before Vs the half ended and were behind ' - only 37-21 during intermission. The visitors roared ahead . again in the third frame, widen ing the gap in the score to 58-29. . In the final stanza, the Indians picked up somewhat against the visiting second team and came within 26 points of tieing up the game at the final gun. Tonight, the Indians attempt to repay the Pirates back in kind. They will travel to Coos Bay to do it. According to 'nformed sources, it will be impossible for Indian fans to gain admittance at the Marshfield gymnasium, due to the expected large local turnout there.

S Piper nains z a Charlie Grimm Resigns To Manage Dallas Club CHICAGO, Jan. 7 UP) Charlie Grimm, an affable Dutchman who has been virtual ly an institution with the Chicago Cubs, may net as high as $50,000 yearly as the new manager of The Dallas baseball club of the Texas league. Alter a conlerence with Cub owner P. K. Wrigley, Grimm re signed yesterday as the club's vice president a "brief case" job that threatned to add a wrin kle of worry to Grimm's usually bright and smiling face. Grimm said he belonged on the field, not in a swivel chair. Dal las' millionaire oilman owner, Dick Burnett, is will to grant his wish. The two will meet in Dallas Jan. 13 to certify the deal. Burnett seems willing- to top "Choly's" cub salary reported at about $25,000. Grimm also will receive a percentage of the gate and conduct an annual baseball school. Dallas set a Texas lea gue attendance record last sea son of 404,000 in a fifth place finish. Put it all together, and obser vers believe the Dutchman's take might be near $50,000. to Coos Bay will be unable to see the game.

Robinson-Fusari Now In Making NEW YORK, Jan. 7 '(VP) -A Ray Robinson-Charlie Fusari welter title match is in the mak ing unless somebody backs down. "I'll fight Fusari for half the purse," said Sugar Ray, the wel ter champ, last night. Robinson was in a name-calling mood be cause of charges v of "runout champ" from the Fusari camp. "We'll be there to sing," said Vic Marsillo, Fusari's manager. The Fusari party leaves tonight for Detroit where the Irvington N. J. boxer meets-Tony Janiro Wednesday. - The meeting is supposed to take place today at Madison Square Garden. One or both may not show up after they've slept on it. Marsillo started the "feud" when he charged Robinson with being the "runout champ" in a radio interview. ' Sugar Ray listened and burned. After George (Sugar) Costner, 147 1-4, Fusari's Camden, N. J. stablemate, whipped Gene Bur ton 146 1-2, Robinson's Harlem stablemate, last night at the Gar den, Ray and Vic started call ing names. Robinson is signed to fight Costner in an over-the weight scrap at Philadelphia, Feb. 22. Ray says he has been ill and hints he may not be ready. Sid Glassman, Philadelphia promot er, says he'll have Robinson be fore the State Athletic commis sion to see how sick he is. Tumbling Team Attracts During Game Halftime An interesting halftime enter tainment, featuring Jack New by's tumbling team, occupied the fans while Marshfield and Rose burg varsity basketeers were lectured by their respective coaches between halves at last nights game. John Gaffney and Neil Sheets proved it is nearly as easy to fly through the air, sans airplane as it is to walk about on the floor. The talented pair was supported by an equally adept cast consist ing of Billy Palmer, Gordon Ross, David Burks, Doug Troy and Don Nicholson, the latter be ing higher than an overgrown midget. Sailing over six of his com patriots and walking up the side of a wall, using no hands, were some of the astounding feats per formed. There are approximately 19,000 moose in the United States, 7,000 more than in 1941. J. N. BOOR OUTBOARD MOTORS 924 Gdn. Valley Rd. Ph.

KEN UNDER Richfield Heating Oil Service Oregon Wins Over VSC In Close Contest Ducks And Huskies Hold First Place Northern Division Conference Tie By The Associated Press Two teams low-rated by the experts in pre-season calculations the hustling Huskies of Wash ington and Oregon's in-and-out Ducks found themselves at the top of the Pacific Coast confer ence Northern Division heap to day. Both won the opening games of the regular basketball cam aign last night. Washington, sparked by two battling guards, easily took Idaho into camp at the Husky Pavilion, 67-43. Oregon got its gears meshing smoothly to down Washington State at Eu gene, 51-48. ' The same foes square off in the second games of the weekend se ries tonight with no change of location. The Huskies' victory was their 11th in 12 starts, Including pre season encounters. Trailing 12-11 early , in the game, they came back with a rush to score 17 points while holding the outman ned Idaho Vandals to one. The margin at halftime was 37-18. Just as they did in earlier King's-X tilts, guards Frank Guisness and Louie Soriano top ped the Washington scoring. Guisness, roaming the forecourt, fired from all angles to pour in 18 points. He also was the key man of his team's defense. So riano, nicknamed "The Bulldog" for his persistent drive, was close behind with 17. Forward Bob Pritchett and guard Dick Geis ler shared high point honors for Idaho with 10 apiece. . Washington State, picked ' to cop the division crown, lost its second game of the week in three starts on the road as Oregon clos ed with a last-minute rush to overcome a 48-46 deficit. After leading 28-23 at the half, the Ducks fell behind with three minutes to go. From a 32-32 dead lock earlier in the second period the score was knotted six times before big Gene Conley, WSC's sophomore sensation, hooked in a field goal to put the Cougars ahead 47-6. A free throw by Ed Gayda added another point. But a bucket by the Ducks' Ed Lav ey tied it again and Dale War berg's charity toss put the Ore gonian's ahead for good. They controlled the ball nearly all the way for the rest of the game as the two-minute rule went into ef fect. .:: -.V: Conley was high man with 21 points. Paul Sowers, back in the lineup after being sidelined for some time with a back injury, topped the Ducks with 15. Cold Weather Slows Migration Of Fish Cold weather has so slowed the migration of winter steelhead that "not a single fish has been seen at 'the Winchester counting station since Dec. 29," reports Ross Newcomb, resident game department biologist. Continued cold water tempera tures through December held the count to the lowest figure for this date during five years of tabulation. Indications are that there is a normal run of fish in the lower river, Newcomb re ports, but they are not moving. Records show that migration slows appreciably when water temperature drops to 40 degrees. Few days during December have had water temperature above 40 degrees, Newcomb said. Only 154 steelhead passed through the station between Dec. 15 and 29 bringing the total to date to 489 as compared with 1274 for the same period in 1948, 1485 in 1947, 1U6 in 1946 and 934 in 1943.
