Beamer Back Indians Roseburg hosts Hp.j'. once-beaten basketball team to night in the Braves' only appear ance on the Roseburg floor this season. i .. i . l Coaeh Norm Olson's coast team is rated as the team to beat in the coast conference after a pre season record of five wins and one loss. The Braves are also a threat for honors In Sub-district 7. Both teams have fared about evenly against mutual opponents ; this year, defeating Coquille and Myrtle Point and losing one ,game apiece to North Bend. The Braves defeated North Bend in a return engagement, however. Each squad has experienced op erators from past campaigns with the Indians now lining up with eight lettcrmen with the return to duty of guards Jerry Parmeter and Nub Beamer. However, nei ther may be able to play for an other week or so, completing re , covery from injuries. Additional strength In Coach Dick Ballantyne's lineup is pro vided by forwards Howard Back en, Brian Booth, Erv Darling and Gary Crabb, center Jim Gilbert, and guards Don Carter, Ron Kel ley, George Donnelly and Dick Calkins. t Carter and Darling have been the main scoring punch for the Indians who have won four and lost four so far this season. Reedsport's team is built arouhd the one-two scoring prowess of for ward Don Tryon and Guard Jim Dodd. The two have scored 83 and 73 points, respectively, in six Brave games. Other starters for Reedsport are forward Gary Clayton, center Bob Wheeler and guard Jerry Flug. Also slated for action are George Remington, Don Fegles and Frank Dunn. The 8 p.m. varsity game will be preceded by a jayvee preliminary between the two schools. Braves By JIM VANCE Bob Abrahamson, Myrtle ureex a DasKeroau coach, was rightfully pleased with bis Viking team after its 37-30 triumph over Roseburg on the latter's court last Tuesday night. "Abe" was particu larly high on the rugged perform ance of his three year lettermao, six-foot forward Wilson Barnes. Besides contributing almost a third to his team's total points with a 12-point output, Barnes, , turned In what could easily be . termed an outstanding floor and backboard game. All the Viking dynamo did was recover IS re bounds, intercept or steal 10 Roseburg passes and sure-footed-. ly move the ball out of baekcourt with few mistakes. Barnes combined with big guard Paul Hatcher, who scored 13 markers, to make it almost a two-man assault and defeat of the home forces. AS MUCH AS Abrahamson thinks of his own boys, who in cidentally have been without the services of injured regular center Jim Deller, the Viking coach feels that Coach Dick Yurk's Sutherlin Bulldog outfit is the team to watch for sub-district honors. Feeling that perhaps his own boys are over-rated, "Abe" considers the Bulldogs as being, "definite ly underrated." Abrhamson points to the size, experience and depth of the Bulldogs to illustrate his point. The rugged encounter that was the Indian-Viking affair should have fans eagerly awaiting a re match of the two teams in the sub - district tourney some six weeks from now. Both of the two season's meetings have been tight and hard -fought and the same should be the case when another meeting comes about. A fast break offense versus ball control always makes for inter esting watching, and as Coach Abrahamson so aptly stated after his team's triumph, "We made them play our game this time." THE VIKING'S GAME, it is in teresting to note has produced a 4-3 record for Myrtle Creek, but in almost every case the differ ence between victory and defeat has been only a matter of a few points. . Myrtle' Creek has averaged 36.1 points per game while yielding 34.5. The Viking's highest one game output was 48 against Myr tle Point and the most they have given up is 44 to Roseburg. Abrahamson explains that the AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE RATES REDUCED Material Reductions Applies To Rates For Practically All Classes of Drivers. One exception being Single Driver Under 25 years of Age Emery -Foley Agency 222 N. Jackson St. Chjs. M Emery To Test Tonight GUARD RON KELLEY, 5-10 senior, will see action for Indians tonight in first meet ing , with strong Reedsport Braves. Last year's sub-district champion, Reedsport has won five of six games this year, including win over de- fending state champion Marshfield. Game time is 8 p.m. BOB ABRAHAMSON . , . control pays off restrictive nature of the Myrtle Creek Kvm and the nature of ma terial that has come along in his three years at the school has done much to promote his use of ball control. And from the polish ed way his boys enter into the spirit of the thing, we'd say that "Abe" has done a pretty fair country job of promoting h i s promotion. WITH THE RETURN of all- district guard Nub Beamer into the Indian ranks, Coach Dick Bal- Iantyne may be able to unfold the scoring and driving punch which he has sorelv missed this season. When the Indians have tightened up in a ball game there has been just no cure. Beamer is no more a one-man team than is the next fellow, but his presence will certainly help the Indians once he gets into con dition following his knee operation. The big boy could make a differ ence in a Myrtle Creek-Roseburg clash when subdistrict , tourna ment time rolls around. WITH THE SEASON almost a third along its way, a check on the "subdistrict five league re veals that Sutherlin continues to top the "league" with a 1-0 record gained in an early season win over Glendale.

Although Washington has yet to win a game, the Huskies rate as slight favorite over their cross state rival in the series at Pull man. The Huskies dropped eight straight games in pre-conference competition, but many of them were by narrow margins.
