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-

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.
"The department," Justice La
tourette wrote, "according to the
whim or caprice of its officers,
under such an act, would have
the authority to classify butter
as sweet, sour, pungent, or in
any other respect that the taste
buds of the taster dictated."

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,

STOCKTON, Calif., Jan. 21 VP!

boxing champion, says he's re

"I've had enough," Louis de

It was his reply to a fight chal

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. ... So if my old
pal Louis is listening in tonight
I just want to tell him this:

TO FLY!
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.
