Newspaper Page TextRoseburg Picks Up Winning Method Knocks Carter, Booth Dump Through Points To Lead By JIM VANCE Sporti Writer, Newi-Revlew nu1iDZ lhe mosl interestingly played home games of the season, Roseburg repelled several Coquille rallies throughout the second half 1 ford their second series win of the season over Coquille by a score 57-52 Friday night. Little Don Carter came up with almost an inspired performance in leading all scorers with 18 points, J .he a!"? with the rest of Roseburg lineup looked smooth for once doing so. While Carter was pourlrik through the points at opportune times throughout the first half, scoring sax in each of the first two quarters, to help the Indians pro duce a 31-28 halftime lead, another of the old Roseburg standbvs, in , the quick-stepping form of forward Brian Booth, made bold dasnes at the end of the fast break for 33 nicely earned digits at crucial times in the second, third and fourth periods. Teams Play Smoothly Though little was at stake in the contest, except for possibly Red Devil revolt for an earlier season's defeat tn lh t,,,i;.... both teams played savagely, but smoothly, in quest of victory, mak lng the affair the more engaging throughout. In addition to Booth and Carter, there were tow other fine basket ball by-products on the floor thii evening, on the Coquille side: Lean and bespectacled Jack Jacobson, a 6-0 forward, and equally bespec tacled, but not so lean Alan -Dun-gey, 6-4 pivot man, were as vital to the Red Devil cause as were Carter and Booth to Roseburg. Another who kept the Red Dev. , lis from falling from contention In the second half was 6-0 forward Al Brown, who shot a variety of shots well. Control of the backboards through the first 12 minutes augur ed well for the visitors as they overcame an early Indian 10-5 lead, then spurting ,in front 17-15 on Dick Roberts" key shot in the closing seconds of the first quarter, and forging their final lead of the evening at 28-24 on Dungey's pivot shot with 1:30 remaining in the first half. Triba Leads For Good With Booth inectcd into the line, up, Coach Dick Ballantyne's com mand barreled by-the Red-iersicn invaders for the last time in this one minute and 30 seconds. Carter two handed a 20-footer, Booth connected from five feet to the left, Booth streaked to a fast break layin with 30 seconds left to play. Booth missed a foul shot with 29 seconds to play and Gil bert canned the second of two free throws for a 31-28 halftime lead. With control of the backboards gone Into Indian hands, prir.arily the hands of Booth and Gilbert, the Red Devils rapidly faded as Roseburg struck early in the third period for a game-determining lead. Jump shots by Carter and Crabb and Booth's foul shots made it 37-28 with two and one-half min utes gone in the third, and two minutes later it was 43-31 on Gil bert's short hook. That was the height of Indian advantage, however, as Coquille. desiring victory, fought back to a 47-45 deficit halfway through the fourth panel on Brown's hook shot, and a variety of shots by Jacob son and Dungey. Local Players Connect But Red Devil fortunes ebbed from there on Beamer's one handed jump shot from 10 feet, Booth's fast break layin on Cart er's interception, and Ron Kclley's unguarded foray under the basket for two tallies. This made it 53-45 with two min utes remaining. Roseburg stowed it away, however, in the next minute on Kelley's two free throws and Booth's bank shot for a 57-o count. Brown then hit three foul shots for Coquille. The game was actually won at the foul line where Roseburg made 15 to Coq-iille's 10 free throws, al though percentage of shots was about even with each hitting close to .500. Field goals were 21 apiece.

Wildcats lump To Early Lead' And Coast To Win Glide's Wildcats forged an early lead and were never threatened I as they rolled to a 62-49 triumipM UoJr What is a thoroughbred horse? Docs "to eat humble pic" mean to humiliate oneself? It is danger ous to keen plants in a sickroom? is the balo eagle bald? These four questions, each sug gesting a popular fallacy, were submitted by readers of the Ta coma (Wash.) News-Tribune & Ledser. the Santa Fe. New Mexi can, the Lock Haven (Pa) Express and the Phoenix (Ariz.) uepuoiic. HUMBLE PIE. In earlier times it was customary to serve serv ants and ordinary huntsmen a pic made of the humbles of deer. Humbles (or umblcs) arc heart, liver, kidneys, lights, and other inferior parts. Only recently ha the more modern meaning crept in that is, to apologize, re tract, humiliate oneself. In short, to eat one's words. THOROUGHBRED. The word thoroughbred has been misused. A thoroughbred is the name of a noted breed of horse developed in England toward the close of the 17th ccntruy, it being, perhaps, a cross between the native mares and Arab, Barb and Turk stal lions. The horse became so fa mous for its high quality, that peo ple began to misuse the word 'thoroughbred" when they actual ly meant "purebred." A purebred animal is one which is usually bred of the best stock and has a known and recorded ancestry in the studbook (5 gen erations in the U. S., 7 in Eng land) and represents but one brivd of animal. SICKROOM FLOWERS.
