i o amim o i 6 The News-Review, Rouburg, Or. Thur., April 13, 19S0 Norm West Named Coach Of Summer Baseball Here Norm West, head baseball coacb at Reseburg ienior high, hai been named to anume coaching duties of the summer baseball program for local youngsters, according to Al Flegel, chairman of the American Legion baseball program. West is well known to local base ball fans and youngsters alike as a member of the Umpqua Chiefs, holding down the first base posi tion for the past two years, lie was a former all-sport athlete at Easter in Oregon College of Edu cation at La Grande and was active in sports at College of Pacific at Stockton, Calif., in 1943. In addi tion to his baseball and teaching duties at the senior high, West is assistant basketball and assistant football coach. Plans Outlined Flegel made the announcement Wednesday in connection with an outline of tentative plans for what he expects to be "the bixgest youth baseball program" Roseburg has yet seen. An estimated 200 local youngsters are expected to articipate in the combined jun or Legion and I'eewee programs, he said, thus necessitating the pur chase of additional equipment and new uniforms. Last year's peak Was BDDroximatplv 1 VI hnv whn "more than made use" of the 86 uniforms on hand, Flegel said. Three Taams Possible He expressed the hope that Rose' burg will be able to field three teams, determined by ages of the boys, which will in reality be the "cream of the crop." These three teams, plus substitute players, will be matched to play teams of comparable age groups from Portland, the Willamette valley and some souinem uregon cities. A second pian is to arrange In tra-city competition. This would entail a similar division by age groups, with the boys to meet in regularly scheduled competition on teams composed strictly of Rose- ourg youngsters. Flegel said the final decision on either of the two plans depends upon available funds necessary to finance the enlarged program and approval of the two sponsoring groups, Umpqua post 18 and Lock wood Motors.

Wallick-Hessell Grudge Match Set At Armory Gordon Hessell, the New Mexi can who has suddenly developed into a contender for Al Szasi" coast junior heavyweight cham pionship, doesn't believe Leo Wal lick'a story about a vital business engagement that prevented his ap pearance in a tag-team match here last week. Hessell and Wal lick, by the way, are sheduled to meet in an important headline wrestling battle at the Roseburg armory Saturday. "What business has Wallick got other than wrestling? 1 think he took a runout powder and wanted to get a Utile more information about my new "trigger" hold be fore he had to face me," Hessell said. . Wallick, the Detroit grappler who has been stacking up his vic tims with his piledriver tactics in recent months, would do well to take Hessell seriously. The Albu querque, N. M., grappler defeated Jack O'Reilly with the "trigger" hold during last week's tag-team tilt and he looked impressive. In fact, Hessell and Ted Bell managed to beat O'Reilly, the coast light -heavy champ, and Charlie Carr, who aubbed for Wal lick, in the tag event. Matchmaker Elton Owen has ar ranged a superb supporting bout, too, a one-hour, three-fall akirmish between Bell and Lee arable, the Phoenix matmaster who returned to action only a few weeks ago after being put on the shelf with one of Wallick'i piledrivers. The two-star program has much promise and Douglas county fol lowers are delighted with the pro spects of the Wallick-Hessel grudge battle. Reserved seat tickets are avail able at Powell's.

Surprise of the day was the strong showing made by the Rose burg. junior high school aggrega tion, which scored 33 points to edge the Glide varsity team, with 36V points, for second place. Although times for most of the running events were slowed con siderably by the wet track and cold wind, coaches of the respec tive squads seemed satisfied with the marks posted by their entrants for a meet held this early in the season. The junior high Papooses threw I icare into their older competi tors by nearly dominating the run ning events, especially those of shorter distances. Jim Kemp, Vir gil Guthrie, Walt Desbiens and Ron Hagquist took advantage of the three-quarter distance events to pick up points for the Papooses. However, the youngsters faded la the field events, as maturity and heft worked to the advantage of the Glide and JV squads. Glide had an opportunity to edge past the Papooses in the final events, but could garner no first or second places in the discus, thus ending up a point and a half behind the younger entrants. JV and Varsity Coa,ch Frank Purdy declared he was satisfied with the results of the meet be cause some "unknown quantities" came to the fore, thus providing his varsity squad with additional material. He said this was true in the case of Alien Winter, who performed creditably with the shot put; Durward Boyles, who threw SSO-vd. Dash Hagquist, RJIIS; Mullin, G: A.

George Bamberger gave up a paltry three hits to win the seven inning opener. In the second game, Oakland plate power built up an 11-1 edge going into the last of the eighth but the Rainiers spurted with five runs in the last two frames. Reliefer Al Gettel did some nice clutch pitch ing to protect the Oaks' lead. Five of-the aix Rainier outs in the last two frames were Gettel strikeout victims. Hamrick Hits Five In the stick department, the Oaks Ray Hamrick smacked five singles and a double in a row before being stopped in the ninth of the night cap. Cookie Lavagetto hit four for five in the second game. Hollywood still watched it rain In Portland and still stayed atop the standings. The Stars' lead was cut to a half-game, though, as those San Diego swatmasters hit early and often to blast San Francisco 13-7. Bobby Wilson, first man up, hit a homer and Orestes Minoso also homered his with the bases loaded in the first inning. Minosa was the Padres' big gun, hitting four for five and batting in five runs.
