ROSEBURG'S newest coast mat
champion is Tom Findlay, who ca
complished the feat while wrest
ling for Southern Oregon College
in the annual coast college wrest
ling meet at Eugene last month.
Findlay, a sophomore at SOC, won
the title in the 177-pound class.
Findlay is married and has one
child and has been better remem
bered for taking part on the SOC
football team. He won conference
honors last autumn. Findlay's
wrestling title brought to SOC its
first such championship and also
earned for the Ashland school a,

Findlav is majoring in secon

of Roseburg.
MENTION of trapshooting above
brings to mind that notes from the
newly formed Winston Rod and

Other improvements are also be-
ing made on the 100 and 200vard
rifle ranges. The club also plans
to sponsor a junior program under
strict supervision for safety. As an
added feature there is talk of hold
ing special shooting matches for
muzzle loading rifles. The area has
a number of old-timers who own
squirrel guns in good shooting con

vision of the Pacific Coast League
uninterrupted now for seven
years, and there is no reason to
believe the custom will be
different this season.

Generally, too. the Stars are
good boxoffice, particularly on the
road, and certainly this should
prove true again with the pres
ence of a young homerun slugger
named Dick Stuart.
'Sixty-six, as some call dash
ing Richard in testimonial to the
66 homers he hit at Lincoln in
the Western League last year, has
promised he will displace L o
Angeles' Steve (55) Bilko as the
homerun king of the circuit.
And, added Stuart. Hollywood
will win the pannant pretty
much thanks to hn batting prow
ess. Hollywood has a new manager,
a very astute ex-pitcher, Clyde
King. He makes it plain that Stu
art's poor defensive ability may
have been a little exaggerated.
"I don't think it is as bad as
has been pictured." says King.

Veteran San Diego Padre out
fielder Harry Elliott fractured an
ankle Monday in a Pacific Coast
League exhibition game with
Portland.
Elliott, who was sliding into
third base following his first extra-base
hit of the spring, will be
out of action six weeks or longer.
The Beavers won the game, 4-3,
after putting down a two-run
Padre rally in the ninth inning.
At Anaheim, the Hollywood
stars smasned live nome runs in
beating SWe, 16-4, for bang-
up, wind-up of their exhibition
season.
Paul Pettit led the Hollywood
bombardment with a homer, triple
and two singles. Leo Rodrigues
contributed two home runs to the
Stars' cause, while Dick Stuart
and Emil Panko added one each.
Suds Have Loss Mark
Hollywood ended the exhibition
season with an 11-8-1 record. The
Rainiers had 11-13.
San Francisco downed Sacra
mento, 9-6, as the Seals won their
15th exhibition game against four
losses. The Solons chalked up
ei ht errorJ whUe the Seals made
three A, Hdst and j Streeter

Kellert hit a four-bagger for San
J-rancisco.
Los Angeles picked up two
pitchers and an outfielder in
preparation for the start of the
PCL race Thursday. Hurlers Ron
Negray and Ben Flowers came
from the parent Brooklyn Dodg
ers and the Angels bought vet
eran outfielder Tommy Saffell
from Portland.
Stars Get Pitchers
The Pittsburgh Pirates sent two
Pitchers to Hollywood on a 24
hour recall basis. They are Lau
rin Pepper, 26-year-old southpaw,
and Don Kildoo, 21-year-old right
hander. Other Pirate arrivals' at the
Stars' camp included second base
man Spook Jacobs and first sack
er R. C. Stevens. The Stars re
leased outfielder Felipe Monte
mayor to the Mexico City Tigers.
Portland will play at San Fran
cisco in a season opener Thurs
day, Seattle at Sacramento, Van
couver at Los Angeles and Holly
wood at San Diego.
"But if he can hit 66 home runs
we can excuse a few mistakes in

King has added power at the

TEAMS DIDNT
Harper, Belko Compare
Tough Seasons At Helm
By JIM VANCE
Sports Editor, News-Review
Both guest sneaker Steve Belko,
head basketball coach at the Uni
versity of Oregon, and Bill Harper,
veteran mentor of Roseburg High
School basketball teams, presented
rapid-fire brand of talks on the
subject to an audience of about 150
listeners at the annual Roseburg
Jaycee-sponsored high school bas
ketball banquet Monday evening.
Harper summarized the season
of the Dast year's team. Then Bel-
' ko, introduced by Roseburg
High Principal Harry Jacoby, a
former acquaintance of the Ore
gon coach m Idaho, took the floor
for the main address.
Belko spoke to the 14 team let
termen and the rest of the audi
ence about Oregon basketball dur
ing the past losing season and
about future prospects. He advised
the boys of the value of scholastic
achievement along with athletic
achievement, described his reac
tions to his first viewing of an Ore
gon high school basketball tourna
ment and his views on changes in
the game, rule and otherwise.
Oucks Didn't Fold Up
"Although we had a losing sea
son," Belko remarked in regard to
the Oregon Duck season, "our boys
never quit on us." He said that
Oregon would be a much better
basketball team next year and in
two or three years "Oregon would
again be a basketball threat."
"I'm going to do everything I
can to bring Oregon basketball
back where it belongs." he added,
"but we must be a little patient
in getting there."
He called last winter's undefeat
ed Oregon Frosh basketball team
"an average college freshman
team." Belko regarded their rec
ord as "a fine start in the right
direction, and that Oregon would
continue to get its share of good
freshmen.
Oregon Ball Better
In watching the Oregon Class
A-l basketball tournament last
month at Eugene, Belko said that
he was more impressed with it
than with the state tournament in
Indiana, which he also watched
thls winter. He said that the record
shows that Oregon produces an
' impressive share of good high
I'chool basketball products, and
that 'he local freshmen are the
means to building a solid college
ball club.
Belko remarked on the chances
'hat the game has undergone since
piaying nays ai me university
,UI iuaiu. inu jump snoi, ne saia,
has revolutionized the game since
world War 11.
"Shooting is much better today
than in the past." Belko stated.
The defense hasn't weakened; the
shooting is better.
As far as rule changes go, he
revealed that he is in favor "of
tampering with the rules until we
get a good game." He was refer
ring to such changes as widening
of the free throw lane and specu
lation on raising the basket from
its present level.
He remarked that the advent of
the tall man in the sport has ne
cessitated rule changes and will
continue to do so until a stable
point is reached. He then men
tioned in passing that there are
18 graduating seniors from the na
tion's high schools this year who
were seven-foot basketball play
ers in high school.
QUIT
Harper summed up the past sea
son as one in which "the boys
played real hard even if we didn't
get to the state tournament.
Grove Game Recalled
He referred to the Cottage Grove
game in particular which Rose-
I burt lost by one field goal on the
local court a loss whirtl ultimate
ly dashed hopes for a Roseburg
slate tourney playoff spot. It was
Cottage Grove's only win of the
district season and it came in the
same manner that Grove teams
have managed to beat Roseburg
teams in the past three years.
The Roseburg coach said that he
thought "that we were cer the
hill" when we lost the Cottage
Grove game. He expressed the opin
ion that he thought Roseburg
"played better ball in pre-district
games."
Although his team didn't get into
the tourney, Harper told the crowd
that he thought Marshfield, which
did get into the state tournament,
"wasn't as good a ball club as us."
"But they did beat Eugene
twice," he admitted ruefully. Harp
er didn't have to remind listeners
that Roseburg beat Marshfield
twice.
Harping on the final win over
Marshfield again. Harper advised
that if "the boys remember that
Marshfield game and compete in
the same way, we'll win our share
of ball games in the future."
Holman To Test
Giant Tonight
PORTLAND, Ore. m Johnny
Holman, the veteran Chicago
heavyweight, will attempt to find
out Tuesday night just how tough
the giant South African, Ewart
Potgieter, is.
Holman says Potgieter's size
he is 7 feet, 3 inches tall and
weighs 325 pounds doesn't
frighten him.
"All I have to do is tag him,
aid he'll drop," the confident Hol
man said.
But Holman. until recently
ranked among the nation's top 10
heavyweights, will be giving away
125 pounds. He is much faster,
of course, than the lumbering
South African. The question is
whether his sharper punching can
outpoint or stop Potgieter before
the big man's weight and ponder
ous puncrfee slow him down.
In his last outing, against a rel
atively inexperienced fighter, Pot
gieter ended the career of 260
pound Bruce Olson. Knocked out,
Olson had to undergo brain sur
gery to save his life. Retired
from the ring, he is recovering
now.
The bout is scheduled for 10
rounds.
Husky Hurls No-No
SEATTLE im The University
of Washington baseball team gave
the Seattle Pacific College Fal
cons an 180 shellacking Monday
behind the no-hit, no-run pitching
of right-hander George Kntsonis,
a junior.
Kritsonis fanned 16 SPC bat
ters. Only three Falcons got be
yond the batters box, two on
walks and one on an error.
Braves Picked
NEW YORK The strongest
pitching staff in the National
league, a well-balanced power at
tack and a burning desire to atone
for thein fneghtful 1956 fall col
lapse should combimi to bring the
Milwaukee Braves their first
championship.
It's not going to be easy. The
Braves have weaknesses at sec
ond base, left field and in the bull
pen. Position for position, they are
not as set as either Brooklyn or
Cincinnati. The feeling here is,
however, that Manager Fred Han
ey's Braves will outlast the Dodg
ers and Redlegs because:
1. There is a very good chance
Milwaukee will complete a deal
with New York for second base
man Red Schoendienst.
2. Brooklyn will badly miss re
tired Jackie Robinson.
3. Cincinnati hasn't been able
to bolster its weak pitching staff.
Cards Have Problems
No other club appears capable
of offering any serious resistance.
The St. Louis Cardinals have a
better looking team than last year
but they still have a grave prob
lem in center field and are not
too secure in other positions.
Pittsburgh is another improved
club, but the Tnates are shy on
power and have only two reliable
pitchers
The Philadelphia Phillies have
potent pitching but little else. The
New York Giants, stripped by Vn
cle Sam of their young stars, are

Myrtle Creek Outscores
Glendale, Riddle On Track
Myrtle Creek dominated the dis-i
tance races, the 440 and the hur-
die events, and scored in every
other event as well to outscore
track rivals Glendale and Riddle
in a triangular meeting Monday
afternoon on the Glendale oval.
The winners tallied 77-T-4 points
to Glendalejs 60 and Riddle's 14'
in the regularly scheduled meet.
Canyonville, originally scheduled
to take part, withdrew.
The day's only double winners
were the winners of the first two
running events. Myrtle Lreek s
Stan Bennett, who took the high
hurdles in the time of 17.9, later
took the pole vault with one of the
highest jumps of the season in
Douglas County, at 10-9. Glen
dale's Troy Reynolds won the 100
yard dash in 11.3. and then took
the broad jump with a leap of 19-Vi.
First Places Shared
Other than that, individual firsts
were well distributed about with
Myrtle Creek collecting most of
the running firsts, six to be exact,
Glendale taking firsts in the 100
and the 880-relay and four field
event firsts. Myrtle Creek picked
up its seventh first on Bennett's
nole vault victory and Riddle's La-
vern Newcomb took the only Irish
win in the discus throw.
The Vikings could hardly be
expected to sweep any one event
in the four-place meet, but they
did succeed in taking three of the
scoring places in five events, the
high hurdles, the mile and 880,
the 440 and the pole vault.
