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! Monday night, nnd other nif
ties were a 233 hv Don wye ana a
232 bv Spike Warren.
SOME DESPERATE pick-ups in
clude a 6-7-10 by Ellen Jones, a
Myrtle Creek lassie, the samo by
Bob Edwards Friday night, and
the 3-7-10 Christmas tree by Hoy
Rice Thursday night. Thero wcro
also some prodigious scores by
teams last week, with the Slither
lln quint representing Thatcher's
Cleaners almost tying high team
game with handicap. They hit 1141,
only 9 sticks short.- Roseburg
Books had 1002-1000-1017; Myrtle
News - Review, Roseburg, Ore. '
A 10-10 free throw performance
by Eddie Oldficld in the fourth
chapter and exceptional rebound
ing by the entire Roseburg aggre
gation turned the tide back to the
winners.
Firmco now prepares to meet
Westfir in a road game on Wed
nesday and then hosts Myrtle

off game Friday ni"ht.' Winner of
the latter plays in the state tour

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.

the Vikings came with a rush to
catch and go for in front. They
scored on 12 of 23 field goal at

second half.
Sophomore center John Losey
led the third period assault with
five field goals and Paul Hatcher

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.

Recdsport Wins
In 51-47 Finale
By JIM VANCE .
Sports Writer, News-Review
Tall Reedsport earned hard
fought revenge over Roseburg Sat
urday night by taking the Indians
51-47 in one of the most bitterly
contested and exciting games of
the year on the Roseburg floor.
The visitors of Coach Norm Ol
son had to withstand a fourth
period Indians uprising that threat
ened to overcome a comfortable
40-28 third-period Reedsport lead.
As things turned out the winners
outscored the locals 6-4 in the
final 2:08 of play to break the
Roseburg challenge that came
within two points of tying twice in
the fourth chapter.
Reedsport's win finished out a
14-6 season, including wins in the
last seven games. Coach Bill Harp
er's Indians ended the year with
a 7-15 mark.
In midseason the Indians rack
ed up a 49-42 triumph at the home
of the Braves.
Up to the time in the fourth
quarter Saturday night when Rose
burg challenged, the Braves play- .
ed every type of game Roseburg
threw at them and came out a lit
tle better whether it was drivins
basketball, playmaking basketball
or just plain shooting.
Reedsport's real forte, however,
was rebounding and in this ono
thing lay the final difference Sat
urday night.
Sharpshooting forwards Don re
gies and Dick Smith poured in 17
points apiece and each along with
center Jack Cory helped the
Braves dominate the boards.
The three Braves did all Reeds
port's first period scoring as they
ran up a 15-7 margin. Roseburg
tied the game 2-2 and 4-4 and that
was as close as they were to get
to the lead throughout the entire
fracas.
As they did throughout the strug
gle, Fegles and Smith continued to
bomb the hoop with outside shots
and rebounds through the second
period. Smith picked up five mark
ers and Fegles four in this panel.
Six-foot, one-inch guard Ed Erick
son added four more with the pe
riod ending 30-20 for the winners.
Roseburg stayed pretty well
with the determined visitors
throughout the eight minutes, be
ing outscored only 15-13, but were
never able to trim the margin
down to less than five points.
Early in the third period Reeds
port once reveled in a 33-20 lead
and nnee attain bv Deriod's end
had picked up an additional two
points during the eight minutes of
action.
Roseburg Coach Harper had al
ternated platoons of five men
through the first three quarters of
the contest and as things turned
out the "driving" platoon which
didn't start the game made it
closest at the finish.
: In the fourth chapter the Braves'
were outscored 19-11. Roseburg
closed the gap to 45-43 and 47-45
right before the two-minute mark.
Reedsport decided to play for the
hoop rather than stall in the rough,
ball - hawking action and much
madness followed.
Reedsport's strategy paid off.
Vith 1:15 left Smith got loose
for a layin to make it 49-45 and
after Biddin?ton's five - footer
made it 49-47, with :38 to go the
Braves picked up two on Cory's
tipin.
