In the in dependent circles Bill’s Place meets Mike Mikuiak and the other Oregon All-Stars. This year it is appsrent that the high school race is to be a tight one. Much depends on the expected, but none too certain, development of promising new material. At Marsh field four 1933 regulars are missing, three have departed from the Coquille ranks, a like" number from North Bend, while at Myrtle Point and Ban don we are not sure of the number of departures, though it is thought that Bandon has Ave lettermen in the fold and Myrtle Point two or three. The Bobcats are fortunate in having __ _________ _ Tommy Ostrander of their 1932 quin- tet on hand, while Coquille has Joe Davis and Bandon has Jack Breuer J Breuer is a six foot, six, athlete, who a large way and national figures, more or less. This time, too, its six or seven, not just one person. Harold Stevens, bench and business manager of the locals, announces that Haberly of Bandon will referee the game so the spectatons can rest as sured that Mikuiak won’t be allowed to crash the line or Hughes to st tempt to take out the ata ge.

The strength of the “B” outfits this season is quite apparent aa the results of the inter-league contests with "A” teams have shown. The fans of Coos county well remember the showing the Coos River five made in the 1929 tournament, and this year three teams. Powers, (Riverton and Gooa River, have been flashing signs of greatness.

For the last term 90 students, 83 from Portland, 22 from Eugene, and 35 from various other cities of Ore gon and other states were placed on the honor roll. The entire enroll ment at the University at the time of computation was 2300, which makes the ratio of students gaining the honor roll distinction apjrroxi- mately 4 in 100.

The big encounter starta shortly after 8:15 p. m., while an added attraction at 7:15 p. m. brings together for the third time this season the fast Riv erton “B” Leaguers and the Coquille Red Devils. This is an attraction in itaelf but/of edifrse, the All Stars- “Bill’s Place” fray takes the cake as the hot spot of the evening. Bill Bowerman, Oregon quarter back in 1982 and the player who that year interrupted a pass to dash 96 ylrds for a touchdown in the Web foot, 13 to 0, defeat of Washington, is also expected to be with Mike and the boys. Bowerman, like Hughes, is a Medford high product, and therefore contributes most of his athletic de velopment to Pink Callison. Without much doubt this is the hugest attraction for Coos county fans since Jack Dempsey refereed the boxing card in the MarsMeld Arm ory.

The same goes for Marshfield as the Pi rates have a much more formidable lineup on paper than have their neighbor» at North Bend. Vic Adama, Bulldog coach, has said little about the outlook of his team, however, so nne can’t determine the strength of the brown and gold as yet. Myrtle Point’s lineup most likely will be composed of Ostrander and Druliner at the forwards, Carver at ■enter, and Rackleff and Mast .at guards. Another player, Hall, may ’ain the starting berth at the pivot •>ost, for according to Coach Hartley 'ie is one of the smoothest workers be has seen this season up to date. Bandon’s starters will be H. Boak and McCue at forwards, Breuer at center, ind Caigy, Perry and B. Boak at guards, while other capable perform- -■rs on Coach French’s Tiger club are Giles, Young, CampbeH, Helferstine, McNair and R. Boak. It is thought that Marshfield has m ace iif the hole in Conrad, a tai', red-headed center, but up t> date he has not been a starter. Chan and Barnard have been at the forwards, 'reland at center, and Mineau and Lee it guards. Only two North Bend first itringeni are known, Gatzke, all- •ounty forward in 1933, at center, and Velde, a letterman, at guard.
