MAKING THEIR FINAL 1955 HOME APPEARANCE FRI DAY NIGHT are Roseburg's Indians when they tangle with Grants Pass at Finloy Field homecoming. Indians, coach ed by Bob George, Mike Popovich and Bob Easter, go into game tonight with 1-4 record. 'Team members starting from back row and reading left to right are: Brent Long, B; Russ Pinard, B; Allen Lindblooin, G; Jim Coen, E; Law son, King, G; Mike Vasey, T; Fred Skeels, G; Gary Turner, G. Third row: Gordon Batsch, B; Ray Nolle, G; Gene Markle, E; Frank Benson, C; Don Horton, G; Gary Briggs, Indians, Cavemen Ready For Bitler Tho most anticipated and bitter est football rivalry on the local scene makes its overy-oihtr-year appnarance at Pinlay Field to night when Jlosebunt's Indians tannic with Grants Pass In home coming football. As on most occasion of recent years, the Cavemen go into Fri day night's fare in the favorite's role. This time, they are figured anywhere from one to two touch downs better than the local men. Substantial evidence is gathered in the teams' comparative records of the season. For Grants Pass so far, it's been a 2-2-1 year against Roseburg's 1-4. There are games against two comparative foes. Cava Rtcord The Grants Pass record slacks up this way: a 1.1-13 opening game tie with KooscveK; a 19-6 loss to North Bend; a fi-27 loss to Marsh field; a 24-13 win over Ixngview and a 38-14 win over Ashland. Rosehurg took a 49-0 drubbing from Mnrshficld in its last outing two weeks ago, while in the sea son's second game the locals took Ashland 21-7. Comparative records don't slack up too well often enough. In fact. comparative records of the two teams' games in the past two years would seem to make Rose nurg the favorite. In 1953 it was 00 at Finlay Field and last sea son the local troops walked off unn a jzo decision at Grants Pass. In the matter of actual strength. the nod again falJs to the visitors who can field 18 Jcttermen on a hall club that is currently rated jm in tne state. Koseburg, sport ing aeven iettcrmen, is unranked. Has Weight Advantage The important factor of weight gives Grants i'ass an advantage nf about 25 pounds per man in the line (and sometimes more) and an overall team advantage of about 10 pounds. Grants Pass, coached by Mel Ingram again this year, averages at lf7 pounds per man in the line to Roseburg's 175, while the Indi ans have a 171-pound average per THE TOP FOOTBALL GAMES, THIS WEEKEND, ARE ALL HEARD ON KRXL SATURDAY O.S.C. vs. WASH. 1:15 p.m. OREGON vs. ARIZONA 6:45 p.m. m ml It's FUNtoustesto mm m YOUR "LUCKY man in the backfield to the Cave men s 161.

A noteworthy addition to the backfield for this game is Mel Drews, who is slated to start at fullback. Drews has been sidelined all season with muscle and tendon injury of the right leg. He was I the leading ground gainer for GP i last season. A transfer from Kansas has I been a real find in the 1955 Cave-1 man backfield, which GP observ-j ers rate a better backfield than ! anything in blue and white span gles since 1951. The discovery is 150 - pound senior left halfback Dave Flipse. Other Carriers Others in the ball-carrying de partment who start are 170-pound right halfback Gary Hermann and 165 - pound quarterback Chuck Novi. This quartet is rated better than the Bobby Woods-Don Korns outfit which went to the state A-l finals in 1953. The Grants Pass line, say Grants Passers, is as good as the 1953 edition. On the Rosehurg side) Coach Rob George of the Indians figures he has" come up with the right combination for the season's final By JIM Figures for the first half of the season, actually one tfame past mid-season, bear out Jtosehurn's record of 1-4 so far this campaign, as might he expected. Marshfield's 49-0 over tha Indi ans really set the Indians statis tics for a tailsnin, the Pirates ac counting for a big share of the op position gains Mnrshficld got 17 first downs, 388 net yards, 114 of Ihem on passing and the rest on running, of course. On the scoring end of things, the locals have tallied 27 counters per game while opponents have measured lip 82 points. Things weren't so had on the scoring ledg er either before the Marshfield thing INDIVIDUALLY, Rosehurg scor ing has been nothing to boast about either, hut it is an interest ing race. Halfback Cordon Jeffer son leads the derby with eight points, quarterback Jerry Dros cher has seven and end T i c k Woolstenhulme and fullback Bill Johnston each have six. Mere is the way the team pic ture figures for five games in the important stax of first downs and yardage gained. The Indians have made 3fi first downs to 4ft for the opposition. In total net yards (both running and passing) the locals have been out stripped quite badly, .V to 1,093. Koschurg has gained 502 net yards on the ground to 832 for the opposition, and the Indians have accounted for 88 y.irds pass ing to l!til for the foes. As was said before, however, count up a lot of this misfortune to the Marshfield 41 0. something which doesn't happen every week combination for the Rensnn's fin.il ncorlnsl "MAIN EVENT Th Great Yomofo Yt.

WRESTLING SATURDAY NlGHT AT THE ARMORY Micro-midget Races Slated To Go Nov. 13 Tentative plans for the start of micro-midget auto racing this sea son call for a Sunday, Nov. 13 starting date. Races will thereafter through the winter season be run each Sunday starting at 1:30 p.m. The County Fairground indoor pavilion will again this year be the site for the races of the little cars sponsored by the Pacific Rac ing Assn. Magnets of the PRA point out many improvements in every phase of the little-car show. Improvements Under Way Del Graves, treasurer and spokesman for the group, cited first of all, the work of the fair board at the plant in constructing new bleachers running full length down both sides of the pavilion. A new concession kitchen is opera ting and parking facilities have been greatly improved. Graves then went into improve ments of the racing itself. He said that competition will be much more heavy and spirited than it was in the first year of op eration, last year, with better cars and better drivers entering events. In addition to drivers from the Rosehurg area, the weekly events figure to draw strong representa tion from Yoncalla and Drain driv ers who raced at the Yoncalla Ro deo Grounds all summer. Engines Pondered A second important item which speaks for itself is the approval by the PRA of a considerably larger and more powerful engine and the approval to use any kind of fuel for the little autos. Last win ter, no netro-methane fuels could be used. These changes are expected to raise potential horsepower in the cars bv 50 per cent, according to the PRA. Other minimum specifications have remained the same. The PRA will hold its second or ganizational meeting of the micro midget season next Tuesday to iron out other details. Officers of the subsidiary group of the PRA, ing are Art Pollard, president; Ed Person, vice president; Kenny An derson, secretary and Graves, treasurer. Santee Spurts 4:03.6 Mile NEW YORK W) Wes Santee won't be any less effective in the 1956 Olympics because of his hitch, in the Marine Corps. i In fact, it may help. i "I haven't been running the nnlei at all since I've been in the Ma-1 j rines," said Santee before heading! i back to Quant ico, Va., today j "We've been running strictly dis I tance races down there, but it s J kept me in real good shape. The gangling University of Kan j sas graduate certainly looked like money in the bank last night in 'the Olympic Carnival in Madison Square Garden. He ran the mile in 4:05.2 second fastest ever in the Garden and sixth fastest in doors. Before he starts his Olympic plans, though, Santee will go after Gunnar Aielsen s world inaoor record of 4:03.6 and try to run the four-minute mile. After five lapsi the race last night was strictly a two-man af fair between Santee and his old sparring partner Fred Dwyer.

Wilh attention of hunters swing inga way from big game the gen eral deer season closes Friday the State Game Commission issued this report of weekend prospects for shotgun hunters: Northwest Pheasant hunters have good prospects in all parts of the north Willamette Valley. In addition to wild birds to be found in good habilat, 1,500 cock pheasants were released recently in Clackamas, Marion, Washington and Yamhill counties. In the southern valley pheasant and quail hunting should be fair to good. Waterfowl hunting is not prom ' It lift I) f u . a i u t 6 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore.

They were hunting near the Umpqua River about 15 miles up river from Tyee Bridge, Spence said, when he spotted the animal. One shot crippled it, then it headed straight for him. Another shot, in the right shoulder at close range, killed the cat. Spence plans to mount the animal as a trophy. Stretched out, toe to toe, it measured about 50 inches. County Clerk Charles Doer ner, from whom Spence collected a $5 bounty, said it is the largest bobcat (not skinned) that he has seen. (Don Mindolovich photo). HYDE SIGNED SACRAMENTO, Calif.

I Southwt Native bird populations are high and hunters should have no trouble finding them anywhere. Cock pheasants have been released in Sams Valley and on Camp White lands.. Douglas County prospects are verv good. Hunters are re minded that permission of land owners is required. Waterfowl prospects in coos ana Currv counties are poor; few birds are in the area at this time. Central Pheasant hunting should be fair to good in Wasco, Sherman and Jefferson counties. Quail hunting should be fair in Wasco, good in Sherman and excellent in Jeffer- SWalerfowl hunting will be poor as the big flights of ducks and geese have not arrived. Northtisr Umatilla promises best success V H ! i a TO CITY DRIVE MKT. 1 V in oheasant hunting. The hirds ar to be found mostly along creek bottoms and lower areas but they will move up into wheat fields and brushy draws in the foothills. Grant, Union and Baker counties will be fair wilh best success likelv in the Keating, Richland and Half, way areas. Good shooting should be had in irrigated farm land in sagebrush valleys at lower eleva tions such as the Snake River and Durkee areas. Valley quail hunting should be very good in Grant and Umatilla counties and Hungarian partridge hunting should be good in Umatilla. Hunters are urged to be on the lookout for- chukar par tridge and not shoot them for Huns. They arc similar in coloring but the chukars are larger. Waterfowl hunting will be fair to poor except for decoy shooting in some of the more choice spots. Most reservoirs are low or dry and there is not enough standing water to hold the birds. Goose shooting will be poor although some geese are to be found on the Snake River. Southeast Pheasant hunting in the region of the Summer Lake management area should be very good but in general will be poor in I,ake Coun ty, fair in Harney County and poor for that area in Malheur Coun ty. There appear to be fewer birds than last year. In the Summer Lake manage ment area estimates say there are now on hand 125,000 geese, mostly snows; 20.000 ducks and 1.200 to 1,500 honkers. With clear weather shooting will be fair to good; if weather is stormy, it will be good to excellent. Nine Bowlers Hit 200 Lines At least nine Commercial League bowlers found the key to 200 games Thursday night with a total of 10 such games being reg istered in that league's play.
