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.
Both teams have experience and
height and both are gunning for
a long-thwarted championship, so
the money Is on this game as
the county's contest of the young
season. Both teams have single
losses to Myrtle Point. Reedsport
lost its first game of the year
to the Bobcats, 44-45. Myrtle Creek
trounced the Pointers, 61-44, Fri
day night at Myrtle Point and lost
a home stand tne next nignt, tc-a.
Braves Go On
Reedsport weot on after the
initial Myrtle Point loss to i de
cisive 60-35 win over coqullle and
a, 54-46 decision over North Bend.
Myrtle Creek opened the season
with a 40-33 victory over Bandon
and a 49-26 trouncing of Riddle.
This leaves Reedsport a record
of 2-1 and Myrtle Creek a slate
of 31, two of the best showings in
the county this year.
The Braves were slated to com
plete a sub-district swing into
western Douglas county with a
game at Sutherlin Saturday night.
A gym problem fouled the works
nn fhi. 0am hnwaufr and PaaHk.
fport will get an automatic win on
a forfeit. The new Sutherlin gym
is still In the process of being
I completed and heat cannot be in

nignt proceedings.

the big Prussian, Kurt von Pop

Opposing him is, a ring-wise

decision even if he has to resort
to a shady bold. If he wins this
contest, he is expected to demand
a title match with Tremaine.
But victory, will depend on a

Heads South
For 2 Games
The Roseburg Indians head
south today for an invasion of
Medford tonight and Grants Pas
Saturday 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.
