Fall 1955 begins the third yc.r
of the Robert George football dy
nasty in the Roseburg domain.
There are two 4-4-1 seasons be
hind it.
Bob George likes to stay out of
spots. At 8-8-2 the guy is even
with the board. And the whole
thing makes a nice-looking assem
blage of numbers on paper. Im
pressive, you know.
"We're accomplishing what we
set out to do," intoned Mr. George
when we set out to ask him about
what was doing, "and that was to
build a good, big, solid founda
tion." "I think our overall strength is
going to be pretty good." George
elaborated.
"You can see the difference.
Our frosh teams of the last couple
years have been doing pretty good.
This year we awarded 37 jayvee
and 34 frosh letters. Coupled with
11 returning varsity lettermen,
this gives us a nucleus of 82 kids
next year if they all turn out."
"You can see the difference."
THE FOLLOWING will remem
ber that in 1953 the turnout was
but 32 football candidates and in
1954 somewhere around 45.
George calls eaoh one a "po
tential player," but though he feels
that "numbers are not-everything"
i they "certainly are an indication."
"I would say," ne said, mat
our material is adequate, not out
standing. We have no great SKUl
or speed. I don't think we have a
dov coming up inai is uuimhuuuib.
"Spirit is good and determina
tion will count a lot. The kids are
getting into good habits. Our sys
tem is taking hold and both the
boys and the coaches are better
acquainted wun n ana are wont
ing into the system better."
GEORGE generalized: "I don't
think we'll have a great ball club,
but I think we'll be good enough
to play real interesting football,
and anytime we walk out there
we'll be capable of winning a ball
game."
He surmised rather strongly
that the team will be fundamental
ly sound with a high measure of
drive and execution.
Jery Droscher. Bill Oerdine
and Bill Johnston return to the of

THE COACH pointed out that
the team and school will miss the
graduates and especially the likes
of Jim Schaeffer, Denny Brundage
ana nuu ueamer, tne tnree all-districts
and two all-staters whom
he developed for two years run
ning.
He summarized: We'll be fast
er, more experienced and deeper.'
You can see the difference.
District five coaches and prin
cipals meet today at Cottage
Grove for scheduling. The Indians
will play their five district encount
ers as customary and Medford
in '55 for certain.
Scheduling the Grants Pass
game has come up with some
problems. The Grants Passers con
tacted George a few days ago and
observed that they will be. unable
to play the Indians during the last
weeks of the season. The South
ern Oregon Confea-epce (Medford,
K. Falls, Ashland, GP) has block
ed those final dates. It will be Med
ford vs. GP the final week.
A DECISION on the Grants Pass
game will come up soon. Roseburg
will play Medford next season,
drop Prineville and Sandy from
this year's sked, and will negoti
ate for games with either Coquille,
K. Falls. Ashland and a Portland
school.
The coaches and princioals will
hash over the state grid playoff
situation which has come up for
some discussion in official circles
lately.
George is personally appreci
ative of the system but more ob
jectively sees flaws in the struc
ture, it starts the season too early
for everybody with one objective
primarily in mind. For those not
in the playoffs, the season ends too
early. It should run to Thanksgiv
ing. ,
With this time element corrects
ed, George would probably take
no issue.

Protective Guards
CHICAGO lifl High school foot
ball players are going in heavily
for the growing trend in use of
face ana teetn guards for protec
tion. H. V. Porter, executive secre
tary of the National Federation of
State High School Athletic Assns.,
made the report at a meeting of
federation officials Monday.
"Seventy-five per cent of mem
ber schools now provide one or
more players with face and teeth
guards," Porter said.
"Our survey shows that 20 per
cent of all players wear some type
of such guards," he continued. "I
would guess that only one per
ceni or less wore mem live or six
years ago.
Porter added his study indicates
a decrease in facial injuries and
that "89 per cent of coaches in
the survey were of the opinion
there should be wider use of this
type of protection."
The purpose of the meeting was
to review the influence of equip
