Tigers Surprise Red Devils
Bandon’s lair of supposedly dis­
gruntled Tigers, kicked from pillar
to post, beaten at every turn, and a
more or leas down-hearted team that
had played continuously on the road
and practiced in the two by four gym­
nasium, must have seen the golden
light in the local Community Hall
last Friday late in the game.
As it was the Tigers suddenly
charged and when through with their
charging, it was found that they had
charged so ferociously that the Red
Devils of Coquille High were tram­
pled under, 29 to 22. It all happened
in the last quarter.
Coquille
completely
dominated
most of the first three periods, but
when Red Devil substitutes began to
enter the fray midway in the third
stanza, Bandon began to get hot
When the count stood at 22 to 18 for
Coquille shortly after the laat period
started, the regular« were rushed in,
but the visitors were so »teamed up,
they went right on through. Breuer,
tall center, did most of the basket
1 shooting, ably assisted by Young and
| Campbell.
Coquille led in the first quarter, 4
to 0, at half time, 14 to 13, and at the
third rest, 22 to 16. This shows that
Bandon scored 14 points in the last
quarter, while Coquille was being
held scoreless. Coquille’s “B" team
won the preliminary. Lineups:

Myrtle Point became “A" League
champion last Friday by defeating
North Bend, IS to 111, in a game
marked by close defensive play by
North Bend. Had the Bulldogs won,
Marshfield would have gone into a tie
for the leadership with the Coquille
valley quintet.
Conclusion was written in the *'B”
League circuit when Coos River de­
feated Riverton, 22 to 18, at Marsh­
field on the armory floor last Satur­
day. This was a playoff, the teams
having been tied at the completion of
the regular schedule, each having
beaten the other once
in regular
play.

(Old Timer Story No. 1)
The Old Timer waa aitting upon hi«

"Hava a chair,” he »aya, waving
his hand in the general direction of
several chair« that were upon the
porch.
“No thanks,” I replied, “I came to
look over your collection of guns.” A
pleased look shone in his eyas a« he
arose «lowly from his chair and with
a hand planted firmly upon his back,
limped toward the open door. Lum­
bago was taking ita toll from the old
man. Tramping through the heavy
rain, soaked to the skin while stand­
ing in marshland blinds waiting for
the ducks to fly and wading icy trout
streams in pursuit of speckled beau­
ties had brought it on.
As if he read my thoughts, the old
fellow paused in the doorway and
said, “This blasted lumbago has tout

time and anyway, they have cut down
the willows on the big marsh and
taken the trees from the nearby
mountains. I figured when the last of
’em went there wasn't a lot left to
live for anyway." Slowly ho hobbled
into the house to the room where his
collection of guns hung upon the wall.
With riving hands he reached for
the top-most gun—an old 44—a gun
almost obsolete in the hills today. Ho
brought it down, his withered hands
fondly stroking it. “Old Betsy,” he
murmured softly, reverehtly and
passed it on to me.
“Looks sort of old fashioned to you
doeen't it, son?” he said, "but do you
know that that calfcer gun has killed
more big game than any gun on the
American continent, buffalo, grizzlies,
deer and elk, yes—and Indiana, too.”
The old man spoke the truth for the

I looked the gun over carefully and
compared it to the modern weapons

In turn was taken down. He had quite
a collection for he had kept pace with
the manufacturers of modeey guns
and had purchased many makes from
the old 44 up to, and inclSling, mod­
ern guns of today. But It was evi­
dent that that old 44 for the favorite
above all others.
The guns were all inspected and
restored to their places upon the wall.
The Old Timer’s eyes grew misty and
he brushed a rough hand across them

“How long have you hunted?” I
inquired, wishing to get away frbm
the present subject.
“Well, sir,” and he chuckled soft­
ly, “the first recollection I have of

told me to go ahead and go flshin’.
The Old Timer chuckled again as
