Siuslaw Vikingi last night at senior
nign acnooi.
In on of the most thrill packed
clashes ever produced locally, the
Indiana and Vikings fought their
heart! out lor lour sizzling quar
ters. The came was never decided un
til the very last instant, when witti
one second remaining, Roy Van
Horn, who played a game above
reproach snapped a tree toss
throuoh the hooD. that DUt Rose-
burg only one point behind the
visitors,
Ronnie Slrickling took the ball
out of bounds, but in his excite
ment to get it into scoring posi
tion before the horn could be sound
ed, lie threw too wide and the
game ended.
In the opener. Myrtle Creek bow
ed out of tournament play 35-28,
losing their second game in two
nights, this time to the Sutherlin
Bulldogs.
Tenight, Sutherlin and Row
burg battle to stay In the race,
starting 7:30. Another loss far
, either team ends tounement ac
tion for the loser. Reodsport,
who earned a bye Wednesday
night, plays Siuslaw In the late
game, starting 1:30.
Ttie Siuslians, spearheaded by
Elden Nordahl and l.yle Hartzell,
forwards, and Ed Riggs, center,
continued i lead they had built
up shortly after the game was
launched.
Forty seconds after the game
was underway Stan Holt scored
two from the free throw line, but
Roseburg's Dexter Garey arched
one through from 35 feet out, to
tie up the game at 2-all.
Siuslaw quickly pulled away,
gaining a 11-4 lead, but the In
dians roared back, tied it up 11-all.
The Vikinga pulled ahead just be
fore the end of the first quarter on
a free throw by Riggs and a
bucket from the side by Nordahl,
putting the quarter score at I' ll.
The scoring was fairly evenly
distributed in the second quarter,
with first one team than the other
basketing a shot, but Riggs and
Hartzell teamed up and Siuslaw
went ahead 23-18 at the half.
Nordahl, who had left his mark
by scoring eight points, in the first
quarter, was taken out with 14 se
conds gone in the second quarter,
after acquiring his fourth personal
foul.
He came back after the half,
cored another basket, then fouled
out. Teammate Hartzell took over,
scored 16 points before the even
ing was out.
The Roseburg five baffled their
opponent in the third period when
they extended their man-to-man de
fense to cover the entire court.
They augmented this new tactic
with some fierce ball playing that
closed the three quarter mark score
to a 32-29 Siuslaw lead.
Frank Olsen, playing a bril
liant game, both under the bas
kets and out In the open, close
chocked his way out of the game
4$ seconds after the third quar
ter was under way.
But the Inspired team continued
to hack away at Siuslaw's lead
in spite of the possible detrimen
tal effects of Olson's departure
from the game.
Dale Blanck filled the gap nicely,
making a spectacular shot after
receiving a pass from Kee Briggs,
who was feeding them to anyone
in shooting position. The combi
nation of Blanck, Van Horn and
Briggs started operating with dead
ly results to Siuslaw's lead, and
the fans roared to their feet as
Roseburg climbed to within one
basket of tieing up the game.
With the score standing at 39 37,
the harassed visitors took time
out with the clock showing 45 se
conds remaining.
The final seconds were a suc
cession of missed fouls shots as
infractions mounted.
The crowd was still on its feet
as Slrickling took the bsll out of
bounds ana mused a toss to itoy
Van Horn, who was Immediately
fouled.
Van Horn made the free tots
good, but an attempt to go ahead
after that was squashed as the
horn sounded.
In the early game, Don Gilles
pie shined for the Myrtle Creek
club, to the tune of nine points.
The tiny Viking guard was the
sum and substance of Myrtle Creek
offense, although Tom Rice braved
the Bulldogs under the boards, with
good results.
Merly Buck and Frank Froush
again shared the spotlight on the
Bulldog team, with Buck scoring
11 to Kroush bagging 13. Kroush
and Buck combined and clicked on
several deceptive plays that look
ed and were good for points.
Myrtle Creek scored the first
basket of the early game, but the
Bulldogs evened it up and led
17-9. 20-10 and 2518 at the quar
ters.

Peewee Benefit '
Banquet, Talks,
Movies Tonight
Peewee baseball will benefit to
night, when fans and friends of
Roseburg's small-fry ball and bat
artists gather at junior high school
starting 8:30, for a banquet, mo
tion pictures and talks by promi
nent northwest baseball experts.
Featured speaker tonight will
be L. H. (Bill) Gregory, dean
of northwest sportswritert and
sports columnist en the Portland
Oregonian.
Gregory, who attended Portland
schools and later Pacific, Oregon
and Washington universities, start
ed his Oregonian career in 1919.
The popular sports columnist is
not only an expert on baseball,
but extremely fond of unorthodox
food combinations.
He's been known to make up his
mind about a particular dish or
type of dish and stick with it ex
clusively for days, weeks or even
months.
For many years, the Oregonian
sportswriter's favorite breakfast
consisted of Coca-Cola and dough
nuts. It is also reported that Greg
kept the Bamboo Inn in Portland
in business because of bis long
time patronage of this Chinese
place because of his fondness for
Chinese food.
Probably one of the best yarns
about Gregory is that during the
football season he had covered a
game in California and after driv
ing all the way to Portland, he de
cided he wanted a dish of kidney
beans.
In casting about for a like
beanery, he remembered a Pencte
ton restaurant that served up an
extremely tasty dish of the same.
So, after driving all the way
from California, he continued on
into Pendleton, so he could have
a plate of his favorite food for
breakfast.
Also scheduled to appear on
the . Peewee . benefit . banquet
agenda are the Roseburg Paul
Bunions, who have an interest
ing program to offer.
Tickets to the dinner, at $5 each,
will also entitle the holder to a
season pass to all Peewee and
Junior legion ballgames.
