Roseburg won the first encounter at the Indian villa, 40-38. Leaving at 2:30 th'e afternoon, a squad of 12 men will travel with Coach Dick Ballantyne In an effort to sweep the series. If it does, it will be without the serving nf Bruce Dalros, who sprained his nkta in scrimmage Wi"1-"d'v and will probably be unable to'. play. Lest Ple-yers This was the climax of one of those bad weeks for Coach Ballan tyne. He said, "We have been working on several things, hut mostly to get five men on the floor." On Monday, LeRoy Elting and Larry Fisher were forced to make ud some school work in or der to be eligible for the game, and Ed Nolte was still recovering from a head gash received at Myrtle Point last week. The same day, Bob Gilbert suffered a minor sprain. Then, on Tuesday, Bill Drake sprained h'i ankle. When he could find a quintet to aim up, Ballantyne worked the quad on nerfectin a ft brek and smoothing out plays. Of course, the defensive emohas was placed on again stopping high scoring Gunnar Christiansen. Preceding the varsity game at S p.m., Al Hoffman'! Junior Var sity will also attempt to- repeat its victory over the Willamette Jayvees. Three other Roseburg prep squads will also see action to night.

Faith Lutharan Montgomery Ward , Donut Bar Umpqua Plywood Upsets and near upsets rocked the YMCA Adult basketball League Thursday night at Benson Grade School gym.

Second-place West Side took the worst beating as last-place Ump qua Plywood booted the former undefeateds, 46-14. This gave West Side its urst defeat and Ump qua Plywood its first win. Even hapless Montgomery Ward jumped into that win column by dumping a more formidable Faith Lutheran sauad. 35-16. The real hair curler was the valiant uphill battle by Donut Bar in almost dislodging Luellan Con struction. The underdogs took an early 5-4 lead, but had lost it by halftime. 11-8. Ron Strickling paced the Barmen in closing the gap to 19-18 by tne third breather, but Pete Neil and Doug James of Luellan staved off a last quarter drive by Strickling and sewed up the game by two points.

From the standpoint of the Unit ed States, these matches will be of particular significance. They will provide the American skiers not only with a line on what they will be up against in the games at Oslo Feb. 14-25, but also how much more training they need. The meet will be divided into two sections, the men s and women s Most of the American women's hopes will ride with Andrea Mead Lawrence, a veteran of the last games. Herbert Jochum, Austrian trainer of the American team, termed Mrs. Lawrence "the near est ready" for the tough competi tion. Among the men, the prospects are not quite so bright.

FIVE WON Statistics Show Indians Better Than Opponents Basketball Coach Dick Ballan tyne recently compiled statistics which show the Roseburg Indian squad 33 points better than their combined opponents, but still on the short side of the won-lost col umn. .- Ballantyne includes In bit com pilation the Myrtle Creek Jam boree, which gives the Indians a total of 11 games. With this In cluded, the Indians have won five games and lost six. In regular season play, the record is lour and six. From a scoring standpoint, the Indians have run up 420 points to opponents 387. as might be ex pected, the locals were well in front in the floor-shooting depart ment, out foul-shooting statistics showed a study of utter futility. Reveal Weakness From the floor, the Indiana have Hopes Squelched For Ball Team In Far West Loop A report from the Eugene Register-Guard -puts the clamps on any hopes Roseburg has of fielding a Far West baseball team in 1952. As the result of a class "D" league meeting at Redding early this week, the Far West League will suspend operations until 1953. The Register-Guard article states that plans call for resumption of tne league in 1953 with eight teams. The announcement was made at Eugene Wednesday night b y League President Jerry Donovan. Continuing, the article says A. A. Hadler, president of the Eugene Larks, stated that Eu gene, Reno and Klamath Falls were the only clubs willing to operate under a five-clob plan. Roseburg, a tentative sixth entry in the loop, did not have a repre sentative at the meeting, and both Redding and Med ford refused to carry on with only five clubs in the league. i According to the Register-Guard, economic and manpower troubles are forcing the four-year-old Far West League to shut down. Jerry Donovan said the league plans to spend 1952 rebuilding its fi nances and trying to. organize three more clubs. He also said, teams were having trouble signing players. In the way of background, the league finished its 1951 season with only five, teams after Marysville, Pittsburg; and Willows, all of Cali fornia, dropped out. Redding con sidered dropping out, but local busi nessmen rallied to ita support. 3 Teams , Deadlocked In Bowling Standings Jockeying for position, three teams were- deadlocked for the pace position in the newly launched Commercial Bowling League second half standings Thursday night Ford and Houck whitewashed Jacklin's Newsboys, the Yoncalla Lions did the same to Todd Build ing and Construction, and Rose burg Book Store took three of four points from K and J Lunch.

Washington, with a lot of its gilt rubbed thin by Idaho last week end, goes out to regain the glitter Friday and Saturday nights against Oregon State in Corvaliis. Idaho and Washington State tangle Sat urday in Pullman, then renew the feud Monday in Moscow. Although the division argument has barely started, it's all snarled up like a stack of old Christmas wrappings. By taking two in a row from WSC, Oregon landed all alone on top of the heap and left the los ing Cougars uncrowded at the bot tom with one victory in four starts. taano, wasmngton ana Oregon State have won one each and lost the same to deadlock for the mid dle spot. But for two things, Washington would be bounding into Beaver country favored to win as it E leased. One is the upset defeat anded the Huskies by Idaho, which knocked them from third to sixth in the national AP poll. The other is the leg injury suffered by the team's leading scorer, Bobby Houbregs, which has shelved him for the OSC games. He'U be replaced by Duane Enoch of Portland. Freshman Dean Par sons of Eugene, Ore., is likely to see a lot of action on the trip. Idaho will be the favorite in its double brush with the Cougars, but a WSC victory Saturday night wouldn't bring much eyebrow lift ing.
