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

A noteworthy addition to the
backfield for this game is Mel

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

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

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

i back to Quant ico, Va., today
j "We've been running strictly dis
I tance races down there, but it s

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.

Waterfowl,BirdHuntSeason
Opens As Deer Stalking Ends
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Oregon's waterfowl and upland
bird hunting seasons open Satur
day a half hour before sunrise and
there are two areas offering bright
prospects: the Klamath Basin for
waterfowl and Umatilla County for
pheasants.
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.

BIG CAT T H Spence, left, who lives on Civil Bent)
Road, Winston, killed this big bobcat Thursday morning
as he was hunting deer with Danny Houston, right-, also
of Win5ton. 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

ising except on a few of the better
, ponds.
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.

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.
