Rogue River Bows 40-7 To Oakland Rogue River Improvement of blocking and passing and strengthening o the backlield and end positions were two aims in practice this week as the Rogue River Chieftains prepped for their Friday football mix with Phoenix High school here. Rogue River absorbed a 40 to 7 loss at the hands of Oakland Saturday night in the grid open er for both schools and the need for better blocking and passing and more perfection in the back field and on the flanks showed up in the conflict. Oakland struck pay dirt three times in the first five minutes of play and tallied in each of the succeeding panels in shel lacking the Chiefs. The Douglas county crew turned two pass in terceptions, a fumble and two bad RR center passes into touoh downs and got the other on a sustained drive from midfield. Jim Richardson booted four con versions. Richardson Scores Fred Bond's fumble on the Chief 38 set up the first Oak TD. Oakland recovered and two plays later Richardson went 28 yards to the goal. A short time later Al Wolford intercepted a Larry Elledge pass and ran 30 yards to score. Then Wolford nabbed another Elledge heave and got to the 12. C. B. Irons carried the ball across from there and the first quarter score was 20 to 0. In the second quarter the Oaks recovered a bad RR center snap on the Chief seven-yard spot. C. B. Irons ran the rest of the distance and count at the half was 27 to 0. In the third canto Oakland went 51 yards in its drive with Irons going the last yard. A bad center pass gave Oakland the sphere on the Chief 19 in the fourth quarter. The visitors tallied on a 16-vard pass play, Al Wolford to Bob Lowell. Wagner Goes Over Rogue River's lone TD was in the final period on a 63-yard surge with Lawrence Wagner going over from the five-yard line. Fred Hopper booted the extra. Inexperience hurt the Chief tains. When a number of vets, who did not start because of their late turnout for the squad, entered the game, they bolstered the club which then seemed to find itself. Rogue River despite the lop sided loss had more total net yardage than Oakland with a 230 aggregate to the visitors 223 yards. Oakland outdid Rogue River on the ground 207 to 160 yards, but had only 16 yards passing to the home club's 70. Bond was the workhorse for Rogue River with 97 yards in 17 carries. Wagner went in at left half without previous prac tice at the position, acquitting himself well and probably earn ing himself a permanent job at the spot. C. H. Irons was the most impressive runner for Oak land. Ken Rose wall Net Titlist; Fry Champ Forest Hills. N. Y. ,UR The world's best tennis player is either little Ken Rosewall or slugging Lew Hoad but as far as America's Davis Cup hopes are concerned, what's the difference? They're both Australians and. as Rosewall said after whipping Hoad in four sets Sunday for the 76th U.S. championship: "It looks like we're at least a bit better than 50-50 to keep the cup, doesn't it?" That's the understatement of the year from the under-sized Kenny, a five-foot, seven-inch 140-pounder who outrifled Hoad and thwarted his countryman's bid for a grand slam of the Aus tralia. French. Wimbledon and U. S. crowns. 4-6. 6-2. 6-3, 6-3. Shirley Fry. who won the Wimbledon crown this year, bowled over Althea Gibson of New York to win the women's final, 6-3. 6-4 Bob Jenkins Wins Again In Hardtops Bob Jenkins roared home in front of the field Saturday night to grab his second consecutive hardtop auto main event at Val ley View speedway. He also took the trophy dash and a heat race. Rav Brackman was second and Cecil James third in the main. , Johnnv Jones won the hard top semi-main and Gib Wall the stock main event.

'U.Ri' Jim Sutherland, new head football coach at Washington State col lege, faces the momentous task of starting from scratch to building a winning dynasty for the Cougars. Sutherland will start off the season with only one regular from last year. However, that may be good. The 1955 team won only one game. The starting team probably will be liberally sprinkled with sophomores and junior college transfers. Legion Title Tussle Taken By St. Louis Bismarck. N.D. OJ.FE St. Louis today reigned as the champion of American Legion Junior baseball. The St. Louis win in the fi nals Saturday night over New Orleans was the first title for the Missouri team since the Le Rion playoffs were started back in 1926. The newly crowned champs slugged out an 8-3 win in Saturday night's game after New Orleans had pressed the playoffs down the wire with a 14-6 win Friday night. Roseburg 'UR) The streets of Roseburg took on some new names Saturday night as thou sands of Douglas county resi dents lined the thoroughfares to welcome home their American Legion baseball team. The Roseburg team captured third place in the national tour nament at Bismarck, N.D., last week after winning the state, re gional and sectional titles and advancing further than any Ore gon team every has in Legion ball. Old street signs gave way to new route designations in honor of the team members. There was Cerding Alley. Lindbloom street. Brown avenue. Smith road and Bcamer boulevard among others. Residents of the city described the crowds lining the streets as the largest ever to turn out in recent years for any event. 'But we have some fine pros pects on the squad." says Suther land. "Our main problem will be the fact we will be very green the first half of the campaign. From mid-season on we may be very tough.' Honolulu Star Praised The coach is particularly high on a lad named Bunny Aldrich, from Honolulu, via Compton Junior college, where he was a star. "His passing may make the aerial game our best depart ment." Sutherland observes. The returning regular is Ray Alvarado. a halfback who was injured late in the season, but prior to that did a great ball packing job. Another good pos sibility is Bill Setiger. who was a sensation as a frosh, but was only average last yeaar in his first season on the varsity. He had broken a leg in a skiing ac cident between seasons. This year he seems to be as good as ever. ! Good Fullback I And there is a good fullhack : prospect in the person of 200 pound Duane Christensen from Portland. Dick Demby and Clar ence Coplin also have had some backfield experience. Outside of the ends, the line is a toss-up. Burl Grinols. a tackle with 137 minutes of play to his credit, is the most expe rienced. Others with some experience include Everett Gust, a guard who has played 124 minutes: and Larry Weir, guard with 89 min utes: John Clark, center, with 61 minutes: and guard Gene Baker, who has played 71 min utes. Sutherland is high on Ray Baker, a 185-pound junior col lege transfer from Yakima, who is a guard and may get the start ing call. But as the coach points out. this is strictly a green team and before it settles down it prob ably will make a lot of mistakes.

Stars Clinch Year's Play With Angels; Suds Victors By DON THACKREY United Press Sports Writer The Los Angeles Angels have rolled over the Pacific Coast league opposition all year, but when they meet the Hollywood Stars they just roll over. The Stars cinched heir annual series with their crosstown ri cals Sunday by winning twice 6-4 and 12-3 in the only double header that got finished in the PCL. The twin wins gave the Stars a 3-9 record against the pennant winners. Seattle beat Portland 7-2 in a rain-shortened contest and then had the last half of the double header washed away. San Fran cisco and Vancouver didn't even get that much done. Their first game went down the drain at 6-6 after eight innings and will be replayed in its entirety Wed nesday night. The second game was likewise washed away. San Diego dumped Sacramen- Nos. 1 and 2 in the second. Fred Arnberg trailed Jenkins in the third heat race. Other drivers in the run for the 1955 leaders were Monty Hall. James, Lou Donelan, Whitey Dace. Wayne Lemley. Kurz. Neil Wooldridge. Roy Deutschman. Bud Hurt, Jenkins, and Bob Wilcox. . . to 6-1 in a single night game. Hollywood rapped four pitch ers for 12 hits in the opener and won despite Steve Bilko's 54th home run of the season. Bob Speake also homered for the Angels and Carlos Bernier did the same for the Stars. Bob Purkey got credit for the win and also collected three hits in four trips to the pan. Ben Wade went the route for the Stars in the nightcap and walloped a home run. Wade lim ited the Angels to five hits while the Stars cracked out 12 against four Angels. Seattle banged out 16 hits in the first seven innings and won the game when the rains came. Pat Scantlebury was the winner for the Rainiers, who chopped off a nine-game Portland win streak. He held the Beavers to five hits, one a home run ,by Sam Calderone. Art Schult homered for Seattle. PERRY IN QUARTERS Toronto, Ont. M.P.)

Ike Urges Support In Defense Week Washington U.R) Presi dent Eisenhower Sunday urged every American family to sup port and participate in National Civil Defense week during the next seven days. Launching the week's activi ties with a recorded address, the President cautioned that "weak ness and unreadiness invite at tack." He said the aim of the United States "is to be strong enough to preserve peace." "The observance of National Civil Defense week will provide an opportunity for each of you to learn your part," the Presi dent said. "You will find in the civil de fense activities of your commu nity a chance to acquire train ing that will make your family more self-reliant in the little emergencies of everyday life." By working in civil defense, Mr. Eisenhower said, "we make it plain, as only a united people can, that aggression will not pay; and by discouraging aggres sion we will strengthen the hands of men of good will in all nations."
