Indians Myrtle Point Wins Contest 57-48 Friday Roseburg Team Displays Plenty Spirit But Lacks Height For Competition Making a brilliant stand against a highly touted Myrtle Point Bobcat outfit, Jack New by's Roseburg Indians failed to overcome an early visitor lead and bowed 57-48 last night at sen ior high, in one of the hottest con tests played locally. It was a slam-bang, thriller dlller non-leaguer from start to finish and although the Indians were on the short end of the odds prior to' game time, they definite ly proved themselves to be in the race, soon after the starting whis tle sounded. Handicapped by lack of height, the Indians were still able to play their omnipotent opponents on nearly even terms. Frank Olson and Mickey Coen offered strong resistance under the backboards, snatching rebound after rebound along with Kee Brlggs, while Ronnie Strickling copped the high scoring honors for the Indians with accurate shooting under the severest pressure. Bobcat Sharpshooter In spite of the do-or-dle spirit of the locals, they couldn't with stand the sharp-shooting tactics of M a r v Hammack, Bobcat guard, who dropped in basket aft er basket for a record high of 23 points. Two of his team mates, Jack Plnkley, forward, and Ford Worsham, center, helped the vis itor cause, with enough baskets to total 11 and 13 points re spectively. Repeated wild passing and "traveling" by the locals enhanc ed the visitor cause on many oc casions. The game took on comical pro portions on several occasions, an half the players in action spilled to the floor while tussling for possession of the ball. On one occasion, Referee Joe Toman did his officiating while sprawled on top of a bowled over eager. Excitement ran high in the bleacher section and the near capacity crowd worked itself into a frenzy encouraging its team on 1 to victory. After trailing 31-23 at the half, the Indians closed the gap to within two points of tieing up the game shortly after the third got under way. 8tart Rally Things looked too good to be true for the - locals as Coen, Strickling and Buddy Matthews quickly collared a field goal apiece, to start the scoring In the third quarter. The Indians were behind only 31-29, when Ford Worsham slap- J. tf. BOOR OUTBOARD MOTORS 924 Qdn. Valley Rd.

J a tourette, in his last opinion as a circuit Judge, ruled unconstitu tional Friday a state law which directed the state agriculture de partment to classify butter on its flavor. In the case, which was argued in circuit court last Monday, the butter manufacturers who fought the law claimed that federal but ter regulations were adequate.

Yebfoots, OSC Lose Contests In League Play Two Washington Teams Take Easy Victories Over Oregon Outfits By The Associated Press It was the turn of Sophomore Frank Guisness to get hot last night. So he sprayed in 27 points as he led the starless University of Washington Huskies to a twenty-point 69-49 basketball vic tory over the University of Ore gon Webfoots. The victory tightened Washing ton's grip on the top rung of Northern division Pacific Coast conference hoop standings. In the division's other game last night, the Washington State college Cougars shouldered past defending champion Oregon State with a roughly contested 53-39 decision at Pullman. The Cougars moved into second place and the O.S.C. Beavers dropped to third. The Huskv-Webfoot clash drew 11,000 into the pavilion at Seat tle. High scoring honors for the the Huskies, which seem to shift from man to man from game to game, settled in a 'lurry on- Guisness. After Washington took a 7-6 lead at the end of the first four minutes, Guisness pac ed his mates with 14 points in the first half to give the Hus kies a 37-23 halftime edge. , Huskies Lead Long At one time late in the second half Washington held a 25-point lead as Coach Art McLarnev shuttled 16 players in and out of me iray. The airtight Husky defense kept Oregon from trickling through, and many of the Web foot's 74 field attempts from out side conked off the rim. Wash ington tried 63 shots, connecting on 25 of them. The going was only somewhat closer a( Pullman, where the Cougars took a 5-3 lead after six minutes, built It to 22-17 a the half, Jumped 10 points ahead at 45-35 when Bob Payne and Len Rinearson fouled out for the Bea vers, then coasted in. Fifty-three fouls were called, 28 of them against Oregon State. Bill Harper of Oregon State had to be carried from the floor late in the game when he and Payne tried to halt Ed Gayda on a drive in play. Later, he didn't appear seriously hurt. The Cougars' star sphomore center, Gene Conley, caught . finger in the eye late in the first half and had to sit it out until the second half started. The Bea vers used three different men on the high scoring Conley, who collected by three field goals. He canned six free throws for a 12 point total. The same teams play again to night. Louis Has Had Enough, He Replies To Charles STOCKTON, Calif., Jan. 21 VP! Joe Louis, the ex-heavyweight boxing champion, says he's re tiredand that's that. ' "I've had enough," Louis de clared here last night. It was his reply to a fight chal lenge broadcast on a national radio program (We The People) by MBA Champion Ezzard Charles. "I'm challenging Louis to fight me for the title," Charles said last night. "I've had 71 fights and I've won 67. Joe still packs a terrific wallop but im sure I can give him a fight. ...

RIPE OLD AGE Duck Lives 18 Years Before He Falls To Hunter HODESTO. Calif. UP) What, sir, is the life expectancy of a duck provided it avoids hunters' guns? And Just how far does It fly? The surprising answers in the case history of one adult male sprig were givert by Egbert Jones, Modesto district duck bander. At the Newman Duck club on Oct. 1, 1933, Jones banded this particular bird. On Sept. 22, 1948, in Ugashik, Alaska, 3,750 air miles away, John V. Struck killed the same pintail. Struck noticed the band num ber. He sent it to the U. S. Bio logical Survey. In due time, the survey established the number had been put on the duck by Jones. Jones, who bad banded hun dreds of ducks, says this sprig is the oldest bv far of which he has a record. And it was the longest interval between banding and killing. Jones estimated the duck was at the ripe old age of 18 by the time it got into the way of the Alaska hunter's shotgun. Golf Darkhorse Leads Pro Play LONG BEACH, Calif., Jan. 21 ) Sam Snead and the more famous members of golf's tour ing pros set out today to over haul the proverbial darkhorse as the $10,000 Long Beach open en tered the second round of play. Pacing the pack is little known Jack Harden of El Paso, Tex., who blasted nine strokes off par for a 62 yesterday over the Lake wood Country club course with its lake-dotted par 35-36-71 ex panse. His 31-31 performance equaled the competitive tourna ment marks in the PGA shared by such great stars as Ben Ho gan, Byron Nelson and Lawson Little. It broke the course record and sent him flying into today's round three shots ahead of his nearest rival. Nearest challenger in the sur viving field of 144 contestants was Bob Hamilton of Landover, Md., who sank a hole in one on the 147-yard ninth green and ended the round with a 31-34-65.

Gussie's Mother Says Engagement Will Not Last LONDON, Jan. 21 (JP All her prospective father in law knows about "gorgeous Gussie" Moran is that "she is a very good tennis player and there was a lot of fuss about her panties." "But I can trust my son's judg ment," said economist Nicholas Davenport of the "astonishingly sudden" engagement of his son to the Santa Monica, Cal tennis star, whose lace-trimmed un derwear was the sensation of last year's Wimbledon tennis cham pionships here In England.. Out in California Gussie's mother cast some doubt- on the lasting -value of her 26-year-old daughter's announcement, in Cal cutta yesterday, that she would marry Anthony Davenport, 28, a British business man in the Indian metropolis. "Gertrude has been engaged several times before," said Mrs. Moran. And as to Gussie's remark that "It was love at first sight," Mama laughed. "I've heard that one before, too." Gussie, in India for tennis tour naments, said yesterday she would make her home n Calcut ta, where her tall and handsome fiance works for a British ship ping company. Her mother, in Santa Monica, doubted that. -INSURANCE-AUTO LIFE AUTO FIRi. State Farm Mutual Insurance O. L. ROSE P. O. Box 489 Phone 288 116 W.
