Indians To Play Roseburg's fleet-footed football brigade will take its first road trip of the year tonight when it travels to the south for its annual battle against one of the strongest Mcdford Black Tornado outfits in eeveral years. Game time is 8 p.m. Indian Coach -Bob George will have his tribe up to full strength with the, exceptions of end Dave Bradley and halfback Marvin Fray, both starting regulars. Brad ley is out with a leg injury and Fray has been sidelined with a kidney injury. Medford, with two Impressive wins under its belt, will be out to make it three straight and If the Roseburg' team hopes to come home with a victory, they will have to halt a veteran - loaded Tornado backfield. Roneburg has split its two games to date. It lost the season's open er' against Hillsboro, 12-7, and came fighting back the next week 1 9 Flagman Reece Found Place On Sidelines After Crash Dick Reece, 27, of Route 1 Box 1176, is the competent flagman at the Roseburg Speedway and is a familiar figure on the flag rtand . at, the center of the grandstand. " Reece and his wife, Francine, were married March IS, 1950, in Roseburg. They nave two daugn ters, Debra, S and Diana 3. Having been a driver for three years himself, Reece is familiar Twitb all the rules and regulations -for cars on the track and is well qualified to handle the job. He is one of a group of five or six men who first got interested men together in order, to start the Pacific Racing Assn. in Roseburg and is one of the charter members of the organization. The flagman was the first elected .secretary after the organization was active. He first became inter ested in driving in '51 when a few races were held at the fairgrounds. """ He drove nearly three years, un til near the end of the last year's season, when he rolled his sar six or seven times and was sent to the hospital for the night with' many bruises. Mrs. Reece then took a "no driving" stand and Reece decided he'd better settle for a different type of job with the association, so he took the position of flagman when asked to do so. While he was driving, he won several heats and a few B mains. He didn't win an A main, but was able to place in many. He holds two A trophies from this track and one trophy from the Eugene track. In 1953, he held the track record here until the last day of the sea son. He held it with a time of 18.01 seconds. , He drove car 27, a '37 Chevrolet with a 270 hp motor.

Jimmy Brown and Bill Oer ding, who were both members of the Junior Legion team, missed the initial contest and the added strength in the backfield was quite noticeable. With the injury to Fray, Bill Oerding probably will move into the vacant spot and will be run ning with teammates Eddie La Roque at quarter, Lee Stone at the other, halfback spot and Brown, the fast-stepping transfer from Kelso, in the tailback slot. Gary Welch, who made a 15-yard carry against the Grizzlies, will no doubt see plenty of action. also. The balance of the lineup will probably be the same as what took the field last week. It would find Fred Skeels and fluss Pinard at . ends, Don Morton and Mike Vasey at guards, Jim Hicks and Stan Bork at tackles und Charles Ridenour at center. Frank Benson will do the kicking. DICK REECE . . . hardtop flagman Huge Purse At Ashland Awaits Racing Winners A $1 ,000 purse awaits the win ners in a special racing program to be conducted Saturday night at the Valley View Speedway a mile north of Ashland on Highway 99. Both hardtops and slock car races are being planned for the evening. Time trials are to begin at 6:30, with the first race at 8 p.m. Included will be at least 100 laps of racing, Speedway officials said.

SS I PROOF. 6S Again, Lose By One Run hold any real hope for the Na tional League pennant. And after losing 2-1 to Pittsburgh in 10 in nings yesterday, even winning all their seven remaining games won't guarantee a thing for the Braves who have been able to win as many as three in a row only once in the last two weeks. Even by winning all seven, Mil waukee can t gain as much as a tie for the pennant unless Brook lyn's world champion Dodgers lose two of their remaining nine. The Brooks, beginning to hear the jingle of another world series pay- off, have won nine of their last 11 and took a full-game lead while idle yesterday. The Braves had to battle from behind yesterday against Bob Friend, who gave just four hits but almost missed his 16th victory when two errors on one tlav bv first baseman Dale Long gave Milwaukee the tying run in the ninth. Then Roberto Clemente tagged reliefer Ray Crone for a two-out single Billy Bruton just couldn't get to in center field and Bill Mazeroski scrambled home with the winner. The only hits off Friend, win ning his first since Aug. 26 and defeating the Braves a third time this season, were, fifth and 10th inning singles bv Johnny Logan, Hank Aaron's single and Bobby lnomson s double, both in the sev enth. Logan's first single came with two out in the fifth after Friend had retired the first 14 men in order. Buhl was in on this one, too, giving three hits one Jack Shep ard's seventh home run in the seventh inning before being lift ed for a pinch-hitter in the 9th. Going into a four-game series at Pittsburgh tonight, the Dodgers now are 3-1 favorites to win the pennant. It's 8-1 the race won't end in a tie.

Baffle Grid By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Marshfield, defending state champion, will try to make it 26 games without a defeat when it meets Grants Pass in the feature game of Oregon high school foot ball action Friday night. Marshfield, favored to retain its Class A-l district 5 title, was a lopsided winner in its first two games. But Grants Pass, a strong district 6 contender and always a power, is expected to give a good account of itself on the Coos Bay field. There are several district games counting toward state champion ship playoffs. Four of these are in district 8. Albany, an easy victor in its first two games, will be tested by Bend. Corvallis, defending district champion, will meet Lebanon, and South Salem plays Sweet Home. North Salem is at Prine ville. In district 5 a strong Eugene team will clash with Cottage Grove and North Bend will meet Springfield. District 4 action sends St. Hel ens against Newberg and Mc Minnville, defending t i 1 1 i s t, against Tigard. Other games are Oswego vs. West Linn and Forest Grove vs. Oregon City. Vikinqs, Drain In Niaht Tilts . The Drain Warriors host Cres well at 8 p.m. in a feature Emer ald League encounter and Myrtle Creek's Vikings travel to play its annual tussle against Myrtle Point, also at 8 tonight. Coach Frank Doyel and his War riors will be looking for their sec ond consecutive league win. Drain opened loop play last Friday with a narrow 9-7 victory over Junction City there. Creswell comes to town with a 0-2 record which included 33-20 loss at the hands of Willan ette High of Eugene in its league opener last week. Alyrtle Creek, still suffering from injuries collected last Friday at Glendale, will be the underdogs in the battle at Myrtle Point. Two of the Vikings backfield aces will probably miss the game complete ly due to battle scars inflicted against the Pirates. ine uoDcais started the year with 14 veterans on hand and lost but little from a year ago when it handed Myrtle Creek a 19-6 de feat. The coastal eleven has a 2-0 record for the year which included a 14-0 romp over tough Siuslaw wgn of Horence. Coach Earl Miller's lads dropped the season's opener, 12-0, to Band on and bounced back with a 26-14 victory over Glendale. John Bard wcll and Ed Cearlev were both in- jured in last week's fracas. Cear- ley is still on the she f. but Bard well is okay and will be ready to ruu at me opening KicKott.

Some find that '.'beginners luck can prove mighty costly. Such was the case of Bob Colley, Roseburg school teacher and local sports en thusiast. A couple of weeks back, Bob took his initial salmon ven ture and had the misfortune of land ing a nice silverside that weighed around 14 pounds. Since then, it has cost him around $75. This in cludes fishing gear only. . . I wonder if he knows hunting season is just around the corner?. . . . LAST WEEK I collected 4-6 win ners in my initial pigskin predic tios for the year. I missed on the Myrtle Creek-Glendale tussle and Viking coach Earl Miller has been grinning from ear-to-ear ever since. My shoulders are broad, here ihey are: Glide over Sutherlin by movement for the season to 7,791. During the same period silver salmon, a fall migrating species, made their appearance, with six adults counted. The summer steelhead run con tinued below normal, but the count on salmon trout was the best ever tallied by mid-September. Comparative figures were report ed as follows: WESTERN UNION oi ipast one touchdown. This game has caused a great deal of contro versy in the local News-Review newsroom and I still pick the Wild cats. Skip Stillwell will be-off and running, but 1 think Dick Smith and Wayne Kcnnaday will be there to greet him. The Oakland-Riddle game looms a tnss-uD. Both teams have one game under its belt. 1 pick the Oakcrs by two TDs, after all, an A-2 school should beat a class B aggregation. Yoncalla should have no trouble setting Canyonviile down by two TDs and chalk, up Us second straight Douglas B League victory along ine way. Mvrtle Creek over Myrtle Point. I can always retreat and say that I got mixed up navuig iuu many Myrtles around. The Vikings are the underdogs but, I look for an upset. The Bobcats are loaded with veteran players and lost very little from the same team which racked Myrtle Creek, 19-6, last year. ONLY A DOPE (that's me) would pick Glendale over Douglas when he knows that both of the Pirates hard-running backs are out with injuries. Douglas looked ter rible last week against Glide and no doubt coaches Bob Williams and Puss Hawk have worked the lads mighty hard whipping them into top shape. It will be a close one. The Roseburg-Medford battle looks like a case of too much against too little. I took a wee wager on this fracas. I got the In dian tribe along with 18 ppints and I think I got a good bet. Medford has one of its biggest teams in years and will average close to 180 per man. George's speed-merchants could stage an upset. Oregon should beat Colorado by two Tds, even at Boulder. The Ore gon State-Missouri game looks pretty even. If Rossburger Nub Bcamer sees much action, I'll stand by the Beavers. Southern Oregon College of Ed ucation will initiate the grid sea son Saturday night at Medford when it hosts the Humboldt State aggregation. Kickoff time is set for 8 p.m. , . VERN MARSHALL, who played baseball with the Drain Black Sox of the Southern Oregon League, is tabbed for a Saturday starting berlh in the Linfield College back field. The Wildcats are managed by Drain baseball manager Roy Helscr. . . On the subject of baseball: Ray Stratton. athletic director at Drain High School, who also held down the hot corner for Drain's semi pro baseball team, told us that at the beginning of the past season. 17 left-handed hurlers were on the five rosters of the league. This in cluded five of the Black Sox staff. . Vic Backland. football star while attending Bandon High School a couple years back, has again been named on the Willamette Univers ity starting team for Saturday's opener. The 210-pound junior is slated for left end duty. . . Back land was picked on last year's all conference first team. . . Today marks tho first anniver sary of Red Hat Day. We sin cerely hope that all Sports-minded citizens and hunters have signed the pledge and live up to it. . .
