On the prep front, every A school and a fair share of the B schools plan a final spasm of basketball activity before the week is out. However, the week starts to night with an AAU game at Days Creek. The winless hosts will meet undefeated J C Sporting Goods. Tuesday is a fairly full day of high school ball with four games on the slate. Clendale's varsity and jayvee squad journey to Rose burg for respective games with the Indian junior varsity and freshman squads.

Another AAU game is set as the Oakland quintet moves to Yon calla. Yoncalla is undefeated and Oakland has one loss. Another AAU game is on the menu for the only Thursday game. Glide, still looking for a win, goes to Yoncalla. Friday and Saturday are big days for a host of prep fives. Friday, Recdsport tries for its third straight win at Myrtle Creek. The Viks hope to notch their fourth win in five starts. Probably the most important game in the county for the week, this game will also launch the western sub-district of district 5. Roseburg goes out of the county for a game at Medford. The In dians have an even record of two wins and two losses. Medford has won three and lost one. Drain Coldest Grid Tilt Scheduled Dec. 31 FAIRBANKS, Alaska (A") They chipped tho ice off the cal endar here today, squinted closely and decided it was mighty nigh time to schedule the world's cold est footall bowl game for Dec. 31 again weather permitting. The ice bowl contestants will be the same ones that survived two previous jousts with the Alaska and Ladil Air Force base. Both are the farthest north of their respective types on the North American continent. The rules drawn up for this year's joust provide, however, that "there must be at least tour inches of snow on the gridiron and the temperature cannot be lower than 20 below zero." (There's 15 inches of snow now and it doesn't melt very rapidly here In the wintertime. But it sometimes gets as low as GO-below and that may stop the lilt). The snow, in case you wonder, provides a cushion for falling on the iron-hard frozen earth. Neither team ever has scored from a ground play during the three year history of the contest, Buf the college boys sousmaitcd the flyers last year they kicked a field goal for the only score ever made. Yes, there are spectator. They suffer as much as the players. drive - In Ore. Mon., Dtc. 17, 1951 goes to Elmira for a Valley league tilt and Riddle plays an intcr-dis-trict game at Elkton. Saturday, Reedsport finishes a two-day sub-district campaign at Sutherlin, This game is tentative, however, because Sutherlin is still having gym trouble. Roseburg also completes a weekend swing back from the south with a game at Grants Pass. Rounding out the pre Christmas games, Rogue River comes to Oakland and Coos River journeys to Riddle. Both are cross-county games. Bobcats Trounce Vikings, 42-35, In Second Game I.en Rinearson's Myrtle Point Bobcats evened up a home-and-hnme basketball series" at Myrtle Creek Saturday nijht by bouncing the Vikings, 42-35. The Viks won the previous night at Myrtle Point, 61-44. The hosts still managed to keep sharpshooting Al Cunningham bot tled up, but his teammates made up for his lack of scoring punch by plunking them in at the rate of .405 percent. Jim Hammack led the attack with 18 points. In the meantime it was a cold night for the Myrtle Creekers. They could hit only .286 percent from the floor before a disappointed opening night home crowd. Breaks Open Forward Ron Plnckley broke the game open in the fourth quarter as he got open three times in succession to sink field goals. These six points gave the bob cats a margin of safety they never lost. Up to that point, it was a tight battle. The visitors were ahead at the end of the first quarter by a thin, 11-10. Both teams exactly doubled their scores to keep the difference in Myrtle Points favor by a field goal, 22-20. The Bob cats pulled ahead slightly by the third breather, 32-28. but by the end of the game they had Iced the contest by seven points. Hammack was high point man with 18 counters. Don Gillespie paced Myrtle Creek for nine; far short of his 29-point performance The Myrtle Creek junior varsity made it two in a row over the Myrtle Creek "B" quintet, 49-30, in the preliminary game.

Paced by the effective board work of Bill Fast and Duane Powell, the Yoncs took a 9-4 first quarter lead The scoring was on almost a par in the second period, which ended, 21-15, but the Eagles began drawing away from the bigger Bulldogs In the tnird quarrler to lead, 35-27 Although Fast at center scored 12 points in his team's successful effort.

It was a moral victory for the Oaks, however, because they have lost the bulk of their squad, while Powers still boasts three top scorers from the ttam that eked out a victory over Oak land for the dsitrict "B" champ ionship last spring. The Oaks held the lead most of the first quarter, but lost it just as the first eight minutes ended. They never regained it. They out scored Powers in the second half, but couldn't close the gap to less than four points. In the final quar ter, the Powers lead had been whittled to 38-34. Then, Oakland starters, Duane Powell and Pow ers went into a stall. The threat was squelched. Holds Edge It was a well-played game on the part of boKi squads, but Pow ers held the edge in shooting per centages. The hosting quintet con nected on 18 of 46 casts from the floor while Oakland could make good on only 17 of 56. Pow ers led at every quarter. It was ahead 9-7 at the end of the first quarter, 2918, at halftime and 36,30, at the third rest period. Joe Boutin led all scorers with 16 points. Oakland's Blaylock led his team with 11 tallies.

Carpels m Stojack A combination giant swing and airplane spin settled the question of the hotly disputed Frank Sto-jack-Carl Engstrom fight. Stojack retained his Pacific jun ior heavyweight belt at the ar mory Saturday night. He so thor oughly incapacitated the Young Engstrom that he could not re turn for the third fall. The gallant Engstrom tried to get off the mat for the third fall clincher, but. a jeering crowd ruined any such chances. Engstrom asked for two extra minutes between the second and third fall, but when Stojack went to the microphone to agree to the extra two minutes, the shouting fans refused to let him speak. The result was that Eng strom just couldn't get off the canvas in the regulation rest, pe riod. Given Spinning The sensational young Chica- goan started off well by taking the initial fall wilh an inverted surfboard, but Stojack sevend it up with alacrity. He caught Eng strom in a giant swing, dropped him to the canvas, picked him up again and bounced him off the ropes into an airplane spin posi tion and it was all over for the youngster. Stojack spun him 13 times to the right, eight times to the left and, finally, 26 times to the right again to leave him con vulsing on the mat.

L 222 WEST OAK Retains Mat Title f In the two-fall 30-minute semi final match, Andy Tremaine and Kurt Von Poppenhelmer battled to a rip roaring draw. Poppen helmer took the first fall with a backbreaker and what he calls a "German cross-bow." The lat ter is a leg and head leverage hold that resembles a half surf board. Tremaine took the second fall with a whipsaw headlock be fore time ran out. The real eye brow raiser, however, was a fly ing baby's milk bottle that just missed Poppenhelmer and splat tered several ringside members. A lady feeding her baby became incensed and pitched the bottle at the big German, S?? ADVICE FOOD and GRAVY STAINS Foods and gravies are an especially common yet troublesome staining problem. Generally, these types of stains should be treated in the same manner as the so-called "tannin-like" stains That is to say, on washable garments, wipe off with moist cloth DAMPENED WITH WATER ONLY. Do not use soap, and do not iron until absolutely sure all of the stain has been washed eut. The sooner you can clean out the stain the better. On "dry-cleanable" garments, LEAVE THE STAINS ALONE. DO NOT RUB OR WIPE. This only causes the stain to penetrate the fabric fibers more thoroughly and makes the stains more difficult to remove. Above all, have the garment cleaned as soon as possible. Aged stains frequently become fixed permanently- And, finally, tell us when you bring your garment in that It has been stained. We'll employ our special spot digesting techniques and if it can still be done remove the stains entirely. These precautions are especially recommended when it comes to food and gravy stains as both these sub stances are chemically complex. Naturally, the above also applies to salad dressing stains. Of course, after removing the stain by means of our special "spot digesting" processes, we then proceed with the standard cleaning procedures, until the garment is pressed neatly and hung, ready for you to take home.
