The Jamboree of six teams will be staged in the Myrtle Creek high school gym this Friday night at S. The question has an obvious an swer. More spectators can be ex pected at Myrtle Creek than any where else in the county, including Roseburg. While Umpqua Valley teams were playing to skimpy crowds everywhere else in the league last year, a heavy turnout could almost always be expected for Myrtle Creek home games. From the basketball standpoint, Myrtle Creek has taken its place as the hoop hotbed of the county. Gym Remodeled As an indication of the increasing interest in basketball, the south ern town recently completed a re modeling and enlarging job on the gym. It now has a seating capacity of almost 600.

Clemson Tigers Go To Gater Bowl JACKSONVILLE, Fla. UP) The Clemson Tigers and the Mi ami Hurricanes will renew their post-season football rivalry in the Gator Bowl here New Year's day. Clemson defeated Miami, 1514, in the Orange Bowl at Miami last Jan. 1. Selection of the South Carolina college to oppose the South Florida school was announced Tuesday by President Sam Wolfson of the Ga tor Bowl association. Wolfson said Clemson officials decided to come here for the seventh Gator Bowl game despite Southern conference disapproval. At Clemson, Dr. Lee Milford, faculty chairman of athletics, said "this is the first time in the history of the Southern conference that a member institution has been de nied this privilege. "I have discussed this with our president, Dr. R. F. Poole, who in turn baa consulted every member of the college board of trustees, and upon our recommendation, they have given their hearty approval of our accepting the bowl bid." Maryland, which will meet Ken tucky in the Sugar Bowl at New Oreleans, also will play without southern conference sanction. ) Quintets Prepared For Tilts Tuesday Although the Roseburg Indians beat the gun slightly with a game at Cottage Grove this weekend, the real cage kickoff in this area is the "A" school jamboree set for Myr tle Creek next Tuesday. Myrtle Creek basketball coach. Bob Abrahamson, reports that ev erything is in readiness. All three trams participating have been out for practice at least a week. All have made plans to participate. And the gym is in tin too shane Abrahamson adds that additional seating space has been acquired to arrord room for Sutherlin and Roseburg fans who wish to attend. The jamjioree will be a round robin affair with each school floor ing one team. Starting at .7:30 sharp, the Sutherlin Bulldogs meet the hosting Vikings. The second 16 minute game pits Sutherlin against Roseburg, and the final tilt draws Myrtle Creek and Roseburg. This totals 48 minutes of basketball. If one team wins both its games, it will automatically be tabbed the jamboree champ. As an added feature. Abraham- son notes, the Myrtle Creek high school band, under the direction of R. L. McClintock, will perform between games. Both Sutherlin and Roseburg have been allotted time also to perform stunts. WRESTLING SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE ARMORY v..

Tall Lion Team It will be experience versus height when the Cottage Grove L-l ons host the Roseburg Indians in the first game of the season this Saturday night. a , "I'm not worred about exper ience," says Lion Coach Maury Kreuti, "but we are short on height. We won't put anybody on the floor taller than six feet. Coach Dick Ballantyne of Rose burg. high will counter experience with some height. Three of the five men on the present first scrim mace team are six-two. They are Skip Dalros, Jim Gilbert and Har old Backen. On the second scrim mage squad, two men are six feet or more.

I Isley is five feet 11 inches tall and Duer is 5-10. These last two are one-year lettermen. Kreutz mentioned, however, that he is short on depth as well as height. He said he would suit up another letterman, Dick Piller for the fray, but a practice in jury will probably keep him off the floor.
