GOWNS PAJAMAS FOUNDATIONS Vikings Meet Brave Squad In Tilt Tonight One game deserves watching tonight That Is the Reedsoort Invasion of Myrtle Creek tonight in the first sub-district basketball game of the year. The interest hinges on the fact that both these teams are considered as heavy possi bilities to take the sub-district championship from defending Knseburg.

Hatchery Bowlers Clinch First-Half Championships In a Tight, down to the wire, Ford and Houck's hatchery bowl ing team cinched up the Com mercial league first-half champ ionship at the Roseburg alleys Thursday night.

Medford's Tornado is the tough one, but apparently the Grants Pass squad is no pushover in spite of having only one returning letterman. In their first game of the season, the Cavemen edged 48-46, in an overtime. The next night, Redding trounced Medford, 58-38. That should be some indi cation of strength since the Med ford club has an all-letterman, club this year. In its second game last weekend, Cottage Grove tipped the Cavemen, 37-34. The Grovers are the ones who hold the only two defeats over the Rose burg Indians. They took a two point, 40-38, edging from Medford, however. The only returning letterman to the Grants Pass squad is John Harbour, a six-foot two-inch cen ter, whom Roseburg saw as a ponderous fullback during the 64-0 football drubbing in the fall of this year. He'll be joined by Larry Schweinfurt, a three-year letter man transfer from Coquille. This just about sums up the major experience on the squad and puts the Cavemen on about an even keel with the Indians. Height Factor Same The height factor is almost the same also. Schweinfurt at six-one will probably start at one forward position and Mel Norrick Is rhe expected starter at the other. He's also six-one. The probable guard starters are five-U Jim Little and five-eight Dick James. Also new to the Caveman var sity is coach Ray Davis, who was former assistant mentor and jun ior varsity headman under Hank Anderson, who moved to Gonzaga university. This means a set of new faces in the head coaching departments of both teams since Coach Dick Ballantyne is working his first year under the Roseburg banner. Although the Cavemen didn't play Uie Indians last year, no comparison is needed to tell they were good. They won 18 and lost only four. Their last loss was a 40-32 lacing by Klamath Falls in a playoff for a state tournament berth. Two factors should take the chill off f.iis 1950-51 perform ance as far as the Indians are concerned, however. First, the squad was just as completely rid dled by graduation as was the Roseburg team. Second, all but one of the starting five were on the football squad and subse quently were unable to start prac tices as early as the Indians. Sev eral of the reserves are in the same position.
