All-Stars Clipped By Harlem Quint By GEORGE CASTILLO Nwi-Hvitw Sport Wrllar The fans were agog. Duke Cumberland and his Har lem Globe Trotters raizle-daziled their way to an easy, 69 55, hoop victory over a picked squad of Umpqua Valley all-stars Sunday night. The two aggregations played at the Roseburg high school gym before a jammed crowd that over flowed onto the sidelines. No mean crew themselves, the all-stars put up a game fight, but the score was no indication of just how good the Trotters were. Some 1,000 paying customers will attest to that. Vikings Beaten By Reedsport The Myrtle Creek Vikings just couldn't weather that third period again at Reedsport Saturday night and lost, 51-41. With only guts to counter Reeds port height and experience, the Vikings fought on even terms in the first half, leading most of the way. The losers led, 14-8, at the end of the first period. They held a slim margin through most of the second quarter, but Reedsport dunked two quick ones just before the halftime buzzer to take over the pace. 24-21. Then, with what Coach Bob Abrahamson termed "thrid quarteritis," the Viks fell apart and the Braves spurted ahead, 41-30, as the curtain dropped on that period. Fifth Straight Less Although it was the fifth straight loss in district S competition for the Vikings, hey played one of their best games of the year. The fast break down the floor was work ing like a charm and Coach Ab rahamson threw up one of the most effective defenses in the books to stop one man forward Duane Leget. He was the thorn in the Viking side last game. The Vikings used a zone except for a man-to-man on Leggett. Dick Komp was that man. Leggett went scoreless. Neil Tester, who scored 13 points to lead the evening's talleymen, rocked the hopes of future season wins when he sprained his ankle late in the game. An X-ray Sunday disclosed no broken bones, but the doctor said it w a s "badly" sprained. Final Tilt Tuesday The Viks will play their final district five tilt Tuesday niht at the Roseburg gym against Suther lin. Reedtpert (SI) (41) Myrtle Crk.

From the time the Negro hoop, sters waltzed onto the court and be gan a crowd-tickling warmup ses sion, there was little doubt of the outcome. The real color came in those warmup periods. The Trotters opened with a fast passing drill that was so tricky the eye could hardly follow the ball. Then came some plain and fancy shooting. The Trotters not only canned them in the usual one and two handed manner, but added such variations as bounding them in off the hip, head, floor or any other conciev able object at hand. The amazing one-armed Boyd Buie thrilled .the capacity crowd as he cleft the hemp time and again with long, high ones from near the center of the floor. At the other extreme, Ted Strong, with two of the biggest hands in basketball, rolled one down his back and flipped it in with a bounce off his backside. Showman Duke Cumberland rammed one in over his shoulders without looking, as he talked nonchalantly with one of his buddies. Trotters Clown, Scare. This was just the beginning of the antics. The game was a laugh rousing continuation combined with some of the best basketball ever seen in the gym. The clown ing didn't interfere with brilliant play-making and pinpoint shooting which gave the Negro stars a 37-26 halftime lead. With this bulge the : Trotters really started the show. I Twice in the second half, the game 1 came to a standstill when the tal 1 ented Negroes brought down the I house with a football and a base ball pantomime. The scoring show came from howitzer hurling Duke Cumber land and rangy center Bob Milton. Milton dunked 18 points and Cum berland had 15. The all-stars got into the spirit of the thing late in the game and came up with some tricks of their own including some flashy passing and play making. Even against the best, forward John Bates paced the all-stars with some spectac ular shots that rang up 14 tallies for him. Halftime Entertainment The special halftime entertain ment was staged by a couple of outstanding table tennis artists, headlined by the English profes sional champ, Ted Bourne.

The triumphant Heavies squeezed by Fullerton, 20-17, and the Pee Wees posted an easy, 1910, victory over the same school. In the meantime, the Benson and Riverside squads were having it out at the Benson gym. The Ben son Pee Wees ran ovr Riverside, 20-12, and Rivrside's Heavies waxed the hosts, 34-17.. This week's wins by the Rose squads virtually clinches the title in both leagues for the leaders. There are only three more games to be played thus leaving little pos sibility of Fullerton catching Rose. Fullerton has a 3-3 record for both leagues for the season. One more win for both Rose teams would eliminate the runners-up.

He lost to Gorky on a one-fall decision. Refuses Decision Stojack sported two black eyes from a previous match when he entered the ring, and he got a couple more remembrances from this match. Gorky hit Stojack, on the leg and on the biceps. It was for these violations that Davidson tried to award the first fall to Sro jack with 12 minutes gone, but Stojack refused. Just twenty-five minutes later, Gorky won the fall with an inside cradle hold. It looked like Stojaek's fall, because he had Gorky in an airplane spin, but Gorky grabbed the ropes, pulled Stojack over backwards, slugged him, and applied the cradle. Time rau out before Stojack could re taliate. In the opener, popular Cowboy Carlson and meanie newcomer Tony Burney battled to a 20 minute draw. JUST RECEIVED! PLASTER BOARD Lumber Sales Co., Inc.
