Roseburg 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.

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. Many a
time have I seen flowers removed
overnight from the sickroom be
cause the plants were supposed to
be dangerous due to giving off
carbon dioxide.
This danger is greatly magni
fied. The carbon dioxide given off
by a square yard of leaf is only

about the 360th part of that given
off in the same time by a robust
person. In the interest of safety,
it would be much more logical to
remove the special nursel A whole
windowful of plants could not pos
sibly give off 1-50 of the amount
she does.
Were the amount of carbon di
oxide given of by plants not neg
ligibly small, it would obviously
be highly hazardous for any per
son to camp out in a forest during
a nice, quiet summer's night.
BALD EAGLE. Many seeing the
bald eagle up close are distressed
by the apparent misnomer. Actu
ally, he has a well-covered pate of
snowy white feathers. But noia
on. In the day the eagle was nam-
ed, bald-headed meant white-headed!
An offer: To readers submitting
a pet popular fallacy which I can
use (together with the explana
tion) I will send an autographed
copy of my book, Advanced Fly
Fishing. The first one to send in
the fallacy, of course, wins.
Much as I would like to, I cannot
possiWy acknowledge all of your
friendly letters.
Top Ranked Hoop
Teams Draw Nod
' NEW YORK Wl Five of th
nation's highest ranking college
basketball teams swing into action
tonight with winning streaks total
ing 55 games, and they'll be
miuhtv surprised if the streaks
don't add up to 60 when all the
scores are in.
Kentucky, the nation's No. I
team in the Associated Press poll
for weeks, takes a 17-0 mark
against Mississippi on the Wild
cats' home court, where they
haven't lost in more than a dec
ade. Oklahoma A & M also goes to
work with 17 straight, dating back
to a December loss to Minnesota,
and the Aggies figure to make it
18 against Oklahoma. A & M,
ranked fourth in the country,
whipped the Sooners 65-48 earlier
in the season.
La Salle, No. 7 team, also hasn't
lost since December and their
winning streak should reach an
even dozen tonight against Tem
ple, a team the Explorers whip
ped 77-53 a few weeks ago.
Indiana is another team which
hasn't lost this year meaning
1954, and the third-ranked Hoos
iers will have a sellout crowd on
hand in the Northwestern field
house as they go for their tenth
straight. Leading the Big Ten with
an 8 0 mark, the Hoosiers win oe
listening for the score lrm Min
neapolis, where Iowa (7-1) will
face Minnesota (6-2).
Western Kentucky. No. 5 team,
Is the other top .ranker in action.
The Hilltoppers boasted the long
est winning streak in the country,
21 games, until, being upset by
Eastern Kentucky last week. They
came back to start a new one
against Morehead Monday night
and Murray State, a 57-43 victim
I earlier, should double the streak.
