Tourney Pairings Made Mon., Feb. 21, 1955 The Industrial League All-Stars Beat Firmco In 8277 Game The Roseburg Industrial League All-stars, substituting for contract breaching Alsea Lumber Co., hand ed Firmco of Myrtle Creek a sur prising 82-77 setback at Myrtle Creek Saturday night. Arrangements for the game were made Saturday when Alsea for a second straight week failed to put in an appearance against the Firmco team. It took some phenomenal second half shooting and strong rebound ing by the all-star team in the second half to overcome their tall er opponents who now have a 15 3 record. The all-stars led 18-15 after one period but Firmco came back be hind Frank Weber and Bob Stout to take a 36-26 intermission lead. In the third panel, the all-stari pulled even at 56-56 and ended the period In a 60-all tie. Ralph Rudzik and Whitten, each scored 10 for the winners in that quar ter. ' We've got news for yon! It's only three weeks till the Men's City tournament lakes off. And some high spots: (1) Handicaps on ' basis of IS games or more, highest average, next Sunday. (2) Closing date for entries, one week later, or March 6. (3) Individuals handicap and classified, teams classified only. (4) Handicap 75 per cent-200, no limit. (5) Fees $2.50 per man per event, payable before tournament starts. (6) $1.05 for bowling, 35c for expense and $1.10 for prizes. (City Assn.' will add money for trophy buying, so prizes will be nearly double last year, provided entries are Cffualj So got to thinking : about it,"-, and hck your partners. NEXT HOT FLASH Is the big stuff from women's state tourna ment. Nita Baughman and Del Mix are silting on the top rung In doubles, with 1063,-which has a good chance to stand up. Nita also shot the highest single series of the tournament to dato, a torrid 601, to bwoII that" doubles score. Some other nice scores, but we lack the figures to put them in their proper place. Locally, our girlies are all trail ing Roy O. Young's toam. Last week ' Ellen Jones got scientific and converted the 6-7-10 split. A very neat feat, as many of us know who have tried and missed. They are sending one team to Al bany this weekend, and their own City tournament will happen Mar. 22 and 27th. Last year they hud a 100 per cent entrance of teams. Can you boys equal or come close to that! IT'S PRETTY STALE now, but we did overlook it in this collum last week. Floyd Baughman got teamed up in the Classic a week ago, and compiled a twin score to tho 266 Ted Buettner has been leading the entire assn. with all season. Somebody better top that one, or these lads win nave to divide the championship belt buc kle the ABC gives fop high series in each association. Incidentally, Ted now has to divide another of his honors. This time, it is with Leo Justen. another newcomer to town, who tics Ted with a 289 game, handicap included. More about that one. Leo start ed out his scries with a whop ping 110. (lot to thinking about It, and decided that wasn't his best, and poured on the gas in the next flame to come up with 7 big X's n a row for a steak dinner,, and a 247 scratch game. In the very next game, his team mate, John Newton, (daddy of a fine new baby girl), essayed to top Leo's effort. He started off with the sleak dinner require ' ments, but took a tap in the eighth, and cherry in the lOlh, but still wound up a nitty 243. This made a record of two steak dinners in ono hicht. and bv the same team! IT SEEMS that the Dillard Steak House has' stimulated bowling more than anybody elso In town, with that steak dinner prbc fr seven strikes in a row. In fact it has gnt so expensive that they -i - m be withdrawing tho of fer effective this week. If so, wo lui'k (o see a decided drop in lo cal averages -right soon. A counlo miirhtv accomplish ments Inst week included a 621 by Mark Batt, Including lines ot 2J1 and 223. Curly Siokman' hit a 601, John 'Sanders had a 212-209 in one set!

Tog Team Titlists Defeat Opponents Leo Wallick and Kurt von Pop penheim successfully' defended the Northwest Australian tag team ti tle they first won here by edging Blacky Miller and Bulldog Curtis In two out of three falls at the Armory Saturday night. The champs had to come from behind to do it. Strong - armed Curtis subdued Wallick after 18 minutes and 18 seconds of action to give his team the lead in the match. But Poppenheim and Wallick both returned with favorite holds to clinch the event. Poppenheim first put Curtis away with a Ger man cross bow at 9:30 and then Wallick drove Miller into the can vas like so much cordwood with his pet piledriver to wrap things up. Pepper Gomez rallied with suc cessive Indian death lucks to overcome the veteran Jack Kiscr in the evening's semifinal. Kiser trimmed Gomez with his skin the cat hold at 14:40 for a first (all lead before the latter could locate his bearings. But Go mez' first death lock at 12:23 more than set up his rival for the second which followed to end tho match.

Micro Track Record Survives Onslaught The winnings were well spread out for the 10 micro-midget racing events at-the County Fairgrounds Saturday night, but for the first time in six weeks the track rec ord went unmarked. Harry Hagen, racing in car 16, was the night's only double win ner with firsts in the A trophy dash and the fourth heat race. Main event winners were Jim Standley in the A event and Del Graves in the B main. Car fires and the racing of Leg Hatfield caught most of the atten tion and the excitement Saturday night. Hatfield, in car 71, was in volved in at least three crackups during the evening. For the first four events it must have seemed more like a merrv-Eo-round than a car race to Hatfield, n the A trophy dash a spin-out found car 24 resting di rectly over him and in the second heat race he was smacked solidly by car 42 and whirled around in midair. Four events later tne same driv er evened the score in part by whacking car 95 and driver How- are Sncll so hard that the latter was forced to leave the race and be towed away. Cars 65 and 77 were two of three cars that were forced out of the A main when fire set in during mat event. The night's fastest lap time was a 9:7 4by Jay Eaton in car 12. above the record of 9:45 mark sot last week by Del Graves. Results: A trophy dash: Harry Hagen (16); B trophy dash: Les Hatfield (71), First heat race: Howard Sncll (95); Second heat: Art Pollard (42); Third heat: Lou ie Donelan (62); Fourth heat: Hagan (16); Final heat: Dave Laflin (24); B main: Del Graves (3); A main: Jim Standley (7): Rope race: Standley (7); Hatfield (71). YMCA Playoff Action Slated Playoff action in the YMCA In dependent League begins Wednes day night with three teams and possibly more participating. inose scheduled to take part are the league co-champions, Millers and High School Bees, and Green Community. None of the other four league teams have expressed a desire to participate as yet. The tournament winner will meet the winner of the Church League title. This title is undeter mined presently but tonighi's games in that circuit may deter mine a champion. Winners of the two leagues will then meet for the city chamoion ship and the right to enter the dis trict playoffs. Santee, Others In Pan-Am Test NEW YORK Ifl Four world record hnlftpr milor Wc Canton and a solid core of tested Olvm pians will lead the United Sla'tts' powerful, 33-man track and field team in the second Pan-American Games in .Mexico City next month. "It's an oustanding squad," said Jim Kelly, chairman of tne com mittee of 18 which selected the touting athletes Sunday. "It could have won any Olympic Games ever held and will do great in Mexico City." Coach of the team in the first games at Buenos Aires in 1951.
