Reverses, spinners and straight smashes at ths tackles and guards plied up a total of 352 yards from scrimmage for the Tigers. The Indians were gsme, but they couldn't cope with the tremend ous power thrown at them by the hard-hitting Medford line and drlY tag backs. - nve Medford bscks divided evenly the scoring, Bob Newland, Jack Bow mnn, Dene McOurly, Don Gillespie and Louie Thurman all hammering Into pay dirt, Stopped In their tracks on the ground, Roseburg took to the air to reveal one of the most brilliant forward-passing combinations ever seen en the local gridiron. With a dead- aye, a mighty-armed left halfback named George Sanders pitching, and nd Church on the receiving end matt of the time, the Indians com pleted 12 aerials out of 20 attempts tor a total gain of 244 yards, an average of better than 20 yards per completion, The Indiana scored in the second, third and fourth quar ters, two of them coming directly on passes and the other being set up toy overhead shots.

Roseburg scored early In the sec ond quarter when Sanders hit left tackle from five yards out, after the Indlsns hsd moved 40 yards by vir tue of short pastes from Sanders to Marshall and Dlahman. I A few seconds lster. Bob Newlsnd skirted right end. tossed a lateral pane to Bowman and ths latter raced S2 yards to the Roseburg flve-ynrd line. Prom there, Bowmen belted left tackle for the touchdown snd Eri converted with a placeklck to make It M to 6 as the half ended. Shortly after the third quarter started, John Prentice recovered a Roaeburg fumble on the Indians' 38 yard line, and In two plays the Tigers had their third touchdown. Capias made 10 on a reverse and MoCurly reversed sround Isft snd to eroas ths line, oillespls failed to convert with a dropklck. Senders started firing passes again and after one to Marshall was good for 10 yards, he shot ons to Slmoni for 30 yards snd ths latter ran 18 more to score standing up.
