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.

Roseburg Jayvees Capture
Triangular Track weeiing
The Junior varsity track squad
from Roseburg senior high school
doubled the score of their nearest
competitor Wednesday afternoon
to post ?6H points and walk off
with first place in the triansular
track meet held at Finlay field.
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

much-needed points. Mullin and
Hackney also turned in good times
in the dash events.
Coach Hod Turner of the Pa
poose squad came up with two
surprise performers in Leroy
Wehde and Ron Hagquist. Wehde
took second in the shot put. with
a toss of 35 foot six v inches,
termed an excellent throw for a
ninth grade boy. Hagquist turned
selves last night in taking a pair
irom Seattle 6-0 and 11-6. 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

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.
