Hard Top Large Crowd Turns Out For Events Whitcy Dago Winner Of Trop.hy Dash; Wife Also Places Near Top Track Manager Joe Wade was bug-eyed at the whopping atten dance Sunday that greeted what he had earlier termed "just a workout" for Roseburg's new auto racetrack. Since no admissions were taken to be counted, no official figures on attendance could be made. But a count of cars which overflowed the parking lot and ribboned down the long entry road showed approx imately 700 vehicles. At an aver age of three persons per car, this would mean over 2,000 spectators. It certainly marked a thump ing vote of approval for hardtop. limes' availM racing in the area, in rough spectator facilities avail' able. Even without the facilities for full spectator comfort, the large crowd that turned out had little to desire for efficiency and thrills. Full Racing Slit. With the aid of the Grants Pass Racing Association, the full slate of races was run off without hitch es or time lapses. As for action, the unfamiliar quarter-mile oval had many cars hopping into the hedges on the far straightaway or spinning out on the turns. There were no serious collisions, how ever. Roseburg's Whitey Dage high lighted the afternoon with victor ies in the trophy dash and 15 lap main event. Dage was clocked in the five-lap trophy race in 1:54.2, and ho completed the hectic main er in 5:43.75. He carried off most of the hardware in the 15-car field. His diminutive wife, Jesse, made It a family affiar by scoring a sec ond in the post-race Power Puff Derby. Bobbie orimmer ot brants u. "'" ."" " S. , i-.V,o. v i 2:38.70 minutes. The first far turn on the track erased several speedsters from the races during the afternoon. It was apparently rough at the cru cial cramp of the wheel, because all but two races saw at least one car spin out or careen off the tracks at this exact point. Ltador Spins On As an example, the main ovent aw Johnnie Jones of Myrtle Creek take an early lead for four laps before losing control for sec onds on that turn. It was lust long enough for three other cars in , me race 10 pass mm. oevumi ij later, Louis Donelan, another Rose burg pacer, spun out on that turn to give the lead to the eventual winner, Whitey Dage. In that same race, Lyle Wescott bounded clear over the bank on that turn. The closest thing to a crack-up came in the semi-final, won by Don Benson. The ill-fated event ended with only three can after three other! tangled on that same far turn to stop the race momen tarily. Although no serious damago was suffered, all three were tow ed from the track. The three 10-lap heat races wore won by Benson, Gene Godfrey and Dage. Dage had the fastest time of the three with a mark of 3:34.35. Benson's time was 4:23.1 and God frey was clocked at 4:19.21.

The Beavers, who almost upset mighty Michigan State the previ ous week, were outplayed for three quarters against me Indians om turned Stanford tumbles into tnree quick touchdowns in the final per iod when Coach Chuck Taylor sent in his reserves. Stanford scored three touch downs in the first period and added three more in the third. Oregon State's first tally came in the third when left halfback Wally Jackson scampered 39 yards to paydirt. 1 In the final period, fumbles deep in Indian territory by Stanford's rookie quarterback Jack Bebert set up OSC touchdowns. Each time, OSC moved the ball to the one-yard lino and quarterback Jim Withrow passed to Jack Gotta in the end zone for a touchdown. Three Stanford touchdowns were on long runs by Indian regulars. In the first period, right half Bill Rogers raced 90 yards from scrim mage to the OSC goal line.

Maryland and Georgia Tech each have gone through 18 games without a defeat, but they've been tied. Michigan State still has six games to play so it's rather early to be predicting another undefeat ed season for them, but if they Perform in, the manner they did Saturday in hanging a 48-6 pasting on Texas A and M, their future opponents are not going to looK to Roseburg Lumber YMCA Team In Top Position Roseburg Lumber Company's six-man YMCA football team moved into a first-place tie with Christian Church by defeating the pace setters, 18-12, Saturday on Fin- lay noiu. The Lumbermen ran up a two touchdown lead in the first half that they were just able to hold for the victory. Neal Bothrick cir cled right end for the final 25 yards in the first quarter, and Lefly Ken Ayres tossed a payoff pass to Earl Bissonelte fur 35 yards in the second quarter. Christian Church made its first touchdown in the third quarter when Bob Church connected with Wayne Mosher on a pass play which ntttcd 45 yards'and a touch down. In the fourth quarter, the Churchmen tied it up as Church boomed through the middle of the Lumber line for the last 15 yards 0f a touchdown drive. However, the winners wrapped up the contest with three and a half minutA to go as Ayres again pitched a strike to Wally Richard son which went for 20 yards and the winning touchdown Avres was the standout on the field. Not only did ho pass to two touchdowns, but proved his mettle defense by intercepting no less than six enemy passes in the game. His deiensive enoris r c pcatedly stifled the Christians in the first half. Jack McGrarh Winner Of Stock Car Race POMONA. Calif.

Phone 3-3222 Popular the Spartan games with any en thusiasm. - ' State still has to meet, in order, Syracuse, Penn State, Purdue, In diana, Notre Dame and Mar quette. Notre Dame No Threat Until it took a 22-19 beating from Pitt, Notre Dame probably would have been regarded as a threat to Biggie Munn's lads, who next year start operations in the Big Ten. But the Irish looked baa against the Panthers. Maryland and Georgia Tech continue to roll along, and neither should be pressed to any great extent this week against, respec tively, Navy and Auburn. The Tern polished off Georgia, 37-0, and Tech topped Tulanc, 14 0, Saturday. California, which has piled up a staggering 152 points in four games, seems assured of winning tho Pacific Coast Conference title, although it still must get past Southern California and UCLA. Wisconsin, the class of the Big Ten, and No. 1 team in the coun try in last week's AP poll, was the victim of tha biggest upset of the season Saturday. Ohio Male soundly pased the Badgers, 23-14. Badgtrs Still Have Chance That made it a brand new race in the Big Ten, although there still is nothing to prevent Wisconsin from winning it. On paper, the Badgers still can field the most potent squad in the loop. However, as of today, Purdue, which trounced Iowa, 41-14, in its last outing, stands at the head of the class with a 2 0 league record. Princeton's 13-7 defeat at the hands of Penn, strangely, wai not a surprise. The Quakers were known to be powerful while Princeton, without the services of the graduated Dick Kazmaier, was an unknown quantity. Penn now should have no trouble sweeping to the league crown, held the last two years by the Tigers. The Kansas-Oklahoma-Ncbraska battle for the big Seven probably ended Saturday when Nebraska's hard luck kid, Bobby Reynolds, was hurt during the Cornhuskers' 27-14 triumph over Kansas State. This should narrow the race down to Oklahoma and Kansas, who meet head on this week. Both warmed up to their tasks Saturday, the Sooncrs manhandl ing Texas, 49-20, and Kansas anni hilating Iowa State, 43 0. South All Mixtd Up In the traditionally mixed up Southwest Conference, things are traditionally mixed up. There isn't an undefeated team in the loop, which leaves things right back where they were in the beginning of the season, with defending champion Texas Christian still the choice by default. The Homed Frogs go against Texas A and M this week. The conference goes into full-scale operations Saturday, so the picture should be cleared somewhat in a week or two. In the Rocky Mountain Confer ence, the eventual champion prob ably will be decided this week when Idaho State and Colorado State, tha two top powers, tangle at Poratello. Houston is the sur prise leader in the Missouri Val ley, after clobbering the defending champion University of Tulsa, 33-7. Georgia Tech might get a tussle from Alabama and Tennessee for the Southeastern loop title, while Duke heads the Southern Confer ence, although Virginia remains unbeaten, too. The pair tangle in two weeks. 6 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore. Mon., Oct. 13, 1952 Stanford, ULCA Clash Tops Pacific Coast Conference Standings W L Pet.

Tho "Jungle Boy" went nine minutes before finally dropping the popular Frenchman with a hangman's hold, but it took Du sette less than six minutes to snatch victory from the mouth of defeat. The stocky little strongman bounced off the ropes two min utes after losing the first fall to take the second. The "Jungle Boy" flung Dusette against the ring ropes to break a headlock only to see him boomerang back for another headiock. The force of the return threw the "Boy" to the mat for a body press. In the last fail, Dusette followed his hairy headed foe out into the ringside section in an attempt to clamp on his full Nelson. The "Jungle Boy" kept squirming into the ropes before Dusette could get the full force of the hold. But he finally succeeded after 3 min utes 45 seconds "Judo Jack" Terry made his Initial bow into Roseburg wrest ling a success by stowing Cowboy Ace Abbott away with a sleeper hold in the semi-final.

The clean, scientific special event was a no-fall draw between Dale Kiser and Joe Gold, a classy looking newcomer. Huskies Warned To Watch Ducks SEATTLE I The bruised and battered Washington Huskies, lick ing their wounds after Saturday's 48-14 humbling by Illinois, came home from Champaign Sunday, and were told by a scout: Oregon (Washington's Pacific Coast Conference opponent next Saturday) is a dangerous team." End Coach Red Badgro, who scouted Oregon in its 41-7 loss to California, warned Coach Howie Odell the Washington pass defense which bogged down against Illinois "Will have to improve tremend ously on Saturday or George Shaw v'll snray passes all over the place." Uadgro pointed out Shaw com pleted 23 passes against California to break the conference' record set by Washington's Don Heinrich the previous week. "There's no reason to believe Shaw won't be throwing against us on Saturday." Badgro said. Illinois' aerial attack and the Midwestemer's brilliant defense aeainst Heinrich had the Huskies hopelessly outclassed at Cham paign. Tommy O'Connell threw five touchdown passes in the first 30 minutes. Heinrich connected on only 14 of 39 passes. Washington I scored its two touchdowns in the I : I. 1 UK....:. .............

They're undefeated with over-all records of 4-0. The outcome of the Los Angeles engagement means more to Coach Henry "Red" Sanders ancrhis UC LA Bruins than it does to Chuck Taylor's noint-getting Indians. Stanford Defending Champs Stanford is the defending league champion and not eligible to re turn to the Rose Bowl where it was walloped last New Year's Day by Illinois. Conference reg ulations prohibit two Pasadena vis its in a row. The Bruins therefore are bowl bound until side-tracked. So are California and Southern California, the other main contenders. Stanford looked great for three quarters while crowning Oregon State, 41-28 last week. Second and third stringers couldn't maintain the pace in the last period. Three fumbles by them meant three touchdowns for OSC. The UCLA-Stanford set-to is a toss-up.

NCAA Considers TV Fund Split CHICAGO OB With a recent Notre Dame blast at collegiate television policies still resounding, two committees of the NCAA met today to work over TV and other plans for the future. A four-day general policy going over was in prospect. Besides the television problem, the committees planned to take up such things as post-season competition and al leged nonobservance of NCAA rules by at least three of its members. Names of the schools involved in the reported infractions have not been made public. The committees on hand are the NCAA Executive Committee and the NCAA Council. The overa'l purpose of the meetings is to shape various reports for final action by the NCAA Convention in January. Notre Dame spokesmen say they have learned a "share the wealth" TV program is being prepared by NCAA bodies. They say the plan would split money received in the association's controlled video pro gram among all members. SATURDAY NIGHT'S FIGHTS By The Aitociattd Press Hollywood, Calif.

The Giants moved into undis puted possession of first place in the American Conference by de feating the Cleveland Browns, 17-9, Sunday, while the 49-ers were thwarting their most formidable challeneers. the Detroit Lions. 28-0. The victors now own identical 3-0 slates. The Giants' stubborn defense, bulwarked by the stellar line play of Arnie Weinmeister, former Washington ace, and Bill Albright completely stifled the Cleveland ground game. The Browns only could gain 21 yards rushing, al though they picked up 236 yards passing. San Francisco's almost impreg nable defense held the Lions to a net gain of 65 yards. Elusive Hugh McElhenny, the rookie from Wash ington, and rugged veteran Joe Perry compiled most of the ground-gaining yardage for the bruising 49-ers.

ADVICE The Loveliness of Evening Gowns Never is a woman more gorgeous and more woman than when she's all decked out for an evening out . . . There she is, in a huge billowing skirt, with lots ond lots of material to help the imagination dream about her figure, practically nothing at the shoulders and rich, deep colors consisting of good dyes impregnating fine fabrics. Brother! Shimmering and rustling, trailing an aura of frag rance and mystery, she confounds us and makes us bid the bartender fill the glass again! Makes me hate getting to the point. Which is: As long as you're going to spend all that money to look so glomorous, you might as well spend it wisely as wisely as you can. After you get into the thing, you won't care about anything but having fun, but while you're in the store buying with all the calculation only you women (I'm told, please) are capable of, remember these tips ond you'll be happier the morning after when you inspect the damage. Don't buy nylon net evening gowns. Unserviceable. Avoid gowns with metallic thingamajigs on 'em. They corrode and often cut the fabric. Best to pass up gowns with sequins and other fancies on them, too. Too hard to finish properly on account of the sequins. Who knows what they're made of. Watch the kind of satin or moire, if it happens to be of these two types of material. Insist on the best it's worth the few dollars more. You'll have it to wear again if it's good to begin with, ond a good gown, well-styled doesn't go out of style.
