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.

Washington State Starting
From Scratch in Football
(This is another in a scries
on West Coast football
teams.)
Pullman, Wash. '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.

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.

In Defense Week

every American family to sup
port and participate in National

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."
Twice as many people are ill
in March as compared with July.
