J C Sporting Good! of Roseburg
didn't find revenge satisfying at
Benson Grade School gym Wednes
day night In spile 0 their 61-38
waxing of Everybody's Drug of Eu
gene. , ,
If anything, it was a moral vic
tory for the Eugenians When the
Druggists came on the floor, they
mind themselves in the unfavor
able position of having only five
men on the squad. The remainder
of the team had failed to show, so,
no substitutes. That meant no
close checking and almost no ef
fort to drive into the key against
the towering J C platoons.
Play Better Came
- The revenge motive stems from
the fact that Everybody's Drug de
feated the matontv of the JC
squad when it was playing under
the colors of K and M at the atate
tourney in 1951. The J Cs were up
for this one and played one of their
better games of the season. They
were never in danger, but the ef
fective long shooting of the Drug
men never let the Roseburg crew
get smug.
Six-foot eight-inch Jack Loom is
finally found the range on his
deadly .book and poured 27 points
through the netting. In other de-
Sartinents, he was a bulwark of
C power. He had Bernard Cook,
the Drueeist center, covered like
a blanket and his rebound work
was outstanding. The regular cen
ter Bill Clausen, didn't show up.
. Bob Hamilton, the former U of
O all CoJter, had a disappointing
evening as he accounted for only
one basket. It was his teammates
who carried the load. Bill Gustaf
son led the way with six baskets
and 12 points. The rest of the scor
ing was well distributed. Strangely
enough, the Druggists didn't make
a foul shot all evening They had
only two chances and missed them
both.
Have Big Bulg.
The J Cs had their biggest bulge
shortly after the half when they
were leading, 40-20. But the visit
ors started chipping away and had
narrowed it to 43-34 by the three
quarter mark.
The Roseburg squad finally nail
ed down the game at the ending
gun with a clever play that notched
the final two points. Les Winders,
out of bounds under his basket.

PCC Teams Set International Series
LOS ANGELES I The Pa
cific Coast League may be a few
years away from Major League
status, but Its pennant winner this
year probably will play the first
"International Series" against the
champion teams of Japan and Mcx
ico.
Leslie O'Connor, Chlcgo attor
ney and counsellor for the league,
has been selected to arrange for
the Japan series. Both Mexico and
Japan have extended invitations.
Bill Starr of San Diego will han
dle the arrangements for the Mex
ico scries.
The arrangements for the PCL-Japan-Mexico
scries were ap
proved Wednesday at the annual
meeting of the directors, who took
another step In divorcing their cir
cuit from all affiliations with ma
jor leagues. The PCL executives
voetd that no club shall have a
working agreement with a Major
League club or accept any player
on option from a big league club
in 1953.
' Phil Wrigley. owner of the Chi
cago Cubs and the Los Angeles
Angels, urged quick legislation to.
keep players from being controlled
bv Major League clubs.
Wrigley said that in his opinion
better bascbtll was played In the
Coast League 20 and 30 years ago
than in the majors. He said the
coast clubs then rounded up their
own talent and dlrin t borrow it.

Slight Margin
Over Indians
For the second time In a week.
the Roseburg Indians run up
against sub-district competition
Friday. They make their first
home-court sub-district stand
gainst the power-laden Reedsport
Braves.
On paper, the edge appears to
go to the visitors, iney compare
almost exactly with Roseburg in
the height department, but have
the edge in experience. Practically
the whole letterman first string
Dlaved together last year.
A comparison of early season
records definitely favors the
Braves, although several oppon
ents were of lesser caliber than
most of the Roseburg foes. The
Reedsoort five has the best "A'
school record in the county, eight
wins in 10 games. One of these
was a forteil win from Mutnerun.
Roseburg has an even .500 record
of six wins and six losses.
Have Better Average
The Braves have averaged 52
points a game in their nine games
played to date. Their opponents
have a 40.2 average. Roseburg's
more deliberate style has resulted
in an average over 12 games of
37.6. Their opponents are close be
hind with a 35.4.
The teams have played five com
mon opponents. Both won handily
from North Bend (Reedsport, 54
46; Roseburg, 42-34) and both beat
Sutherlin. Reedsport won at home
from the Bulldogs, 61-29, while
Roseburg had to battle to win,
38-32, away from home. From this
oint, the picture is blurred. Kose
lurg beat Medford away from
home, 39-37, but the Braves lost
to the Tornado at home, 46-35.
Against Myrtle Point, bottl teams
have losses. The Indians lost, 41-39,
and the Braves lost their season
opener, 46-45. But the Indians wal
loped the Myrtle Pointers in their
first game, 56-23. The most dis
concerting difference against a
common opponent was compara
tive play against Coquille. The In
dians lost, 42-40, and the Braves
larruped the Ken uevns, bu-jo. in
their second meeting the Braves
dumped Coquille again, 42-39.
Stars Compared
One of the closest comparisons
is found In parallel performances
of individual stars. Reedsport has
a consistent point maker in Duane
Leggett, a 6-2 forward, who has run
up 141 points in nine games for a
15.7 average. RoscburE's LeRoy
Elting has posted 136 points in 12
games for an 11.3 average. But a
new scoremaker is beginning to
shine for each sauad. For Reeds
port it is Berge Borrevik and for
Koseburt it is Bruce Dalros.
ri'V. I.mM r...m .ill i . A tt,- T H
dians a slight advantage and the
fact they are underdogs may turn
the trick against the potent Braves.
At anv rate, the winner will take
over leadership in the western di
vision of District 5. Reedsport has
three district wins without a de
feat and Roseburg has won its
only game.

Firmco of Myrtle Creek climbed

Wednesday night at Glide by hand
ing the Glidesters their second
straight loss at the hands of the
Myrtle Creek AAU quintet. The
score was a rousing 71-54.
Wally Richardson of Myrtle
Creek burned the netting off the
hoop with a tremendous 27-point
performance. He and his team
mates never gave the Glidesters a
chance. By the end of the first
quarter, the fast breaking visitors
were booming away, 19-11. They
held a comparable lead at half
time and stretched it to 50-40 by
the three quarter mark. But it was
in the final quarter that the bet
ter conditioned Firmcos poured on
the coal. They were scoring so
freely in that final canto that they
stalled out the last three minutes
to hold the score down.
Glide's high-scoring Jack Har

to keep his squad in the game. He
ran up 20 points and 16 of these
were in the last half.

Criticism Aimed
At Grid Coaches
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.
Va. Wt The NCAA Rules Com
mittee says coaches ana ouiciais
have contributed to "undesirable
trends" in football.
The committee, after three days
of studying methods of restoring
clean and sportsmaniiKe luoiuau,
Wednesday adopted a resolution
which called upon both coaches
and officials to "devote their at
tention more conscientiously and
more diligently to the best inter
ests of the game of football and
the young men who play, by teach
ing and enforcing the spirit as
well as the letter of the rules"
While the committee said in ef
fect it's up to the coaches and of
ficials to cut out the rough stuff,
it made the penalties more drastic.
A player using elbows, forearms
or locked arms to hit an opponent
is to be thrown out of the game
and his team penalized 15 yards.
The rule against piling on was
strengthened. Defensive holding
will draw a 15-yard penalty instead
of five.
L-Clipping will be called for hitting
a foe trom Dcnino anywnere on
the back instead of only below the
waist.
To protect a passer, he will be
Eermitted to defend himself with
is hands as long as the ball is in
the air.
The committee also moved

Harlem Globetrotter Five
Dated At Sr. High School
A host of barnstorming basket
ball teams make their stops in
Douglas county this year. But the
peak of the season is reached at
the Roseburg High School gym
Wednesday night, Jan. 23, when
the Harlem Globetrotters bounce
into town, to ace J. C. Sporting
Goods.
This western division of the
Globetrotters comprises half of
probably the greatest basketball
organization ever assembled. As a
talking point point along this line,
in 1950-51, the Globetrotters won
334 games and lost six in the first
year-round hoop season.
The Trotters are celebrating
their Silver Anniversary and they
entered their 25.th season with a
fantastic record of 3,908 victories
to 252 defeats. That's a percentage
of .939. - -
This twenty - fifth anniversary
edition of the greatest basketball
aggregation the- world have ever
known has been built by Owner
Coach Abe Saperstein both with an
eye to playing power and efficiency
and fun - provoking propensities.
Comedy Provided
Comedy is just as important in
the Globetrotters' scheme of things
as a great lineup capable of hold
ing its own against the best on
the hardwood courts. Shrewd show
man that he is, Saperstein has
parlayed this combination into the
most popular drawing card in all
sportdom, not only on the North
American continent but in many
other parts of the globe where the
team has played and made a tre
mendous hit.
As o ne sports writer put it:
"Abe's boys ball handling wiz
ards all comprise the best basket
ball team on earth. They are not
only are master players but they
are also amusing actors. That's
why the SRO sign is always out
wherever they play."
Besides their rehearsed stunts to
popular with the fans, the Trotters
are great extemperaneous comed
ians. There was the time the team
had two loaves of pumpernickel
bread made into the shape of a
basketball. The boys quietly sub
stituted that during a game and
one of them suddenly tore out a
chunk and started eating it. The
fans thought he was eating the
basketball. It wowed them.
Saperstein sums up his team s
success thusly: "First of all we
show the fans how the game snouio
and can be played like experts.
Then we give them a good show
on the side."
The diminutive promotional ex
pert makes sure the fans have a
great show In store for them. He
even carries along some top variety
acts to entertain between games
and during intermission. ,
Creswell Beats
Yoncalla Eagles
Creswell handed the Yoncalla
Eaeles their third loss of the year
Tuesday night, 38-26, in a cross
county tilt at Creswell.
The Bulldogs jumped off to a
10-3 first quarter lead and were
never headed, ine tagies ciosea
the gap to three points at half
time, but Creswell waltzed away
to a 26-17 lead in the third canto
and were still extending the pace
as the final gun sounded.
Yoncalia's nut f ast topped au
