ROSEBURG METHODICAL Roscburg, the defending slate champ, has been de scribed as a "real methodical" team with good size. The In dians split ends, use a wing back and employ the belly scries. They have primarily a ground attack but throw a lot and their air game is a threat. Roscburg has three starters hack from the state title loam. They are quarterback Paul Brothers, tackle Doug John and right half Al Jcolson, all seniors. Juniors have a big role in the Indian scheme this season. Five starters on of fense are Juniors and nine juniors arc in the top de fensive crew. The Indians vir tually platoon with only two offensive starters remaining ; in the lineup when Roscburg switches to defense. FALCONS RUGGED When Phoenix lakes on El mira, it will go up against a "good rugged team." The Fal cons have good size and are a well-balanced team with a hard-hitting line.

The complaint A beautiful new grandstand but a clock which part of the time won't work properly and another part of th. time just won't work. On. description: "A $100. 000 grandstand and a two-bit clock." Another: "Probably t h . i poorest clock in the state ol i Oregon." ! Possibly th. clock will be in working condition for the Medford-Roseburg game this Friday. But. at least one per son questions th. advisability ol having it in operating or-; der. Th. reasoning: P.rhaps. th. clock, although, undep.nd- i able, is a good luck charm. j like an old tie or an old pair ol shoes and it had better b. left alon. until th. Tornado season is complete. There's been trouble with the clock, how.v.r, for a good I number ol seasons. It's- time : lor a change or a good and 'thorough renovation Job - good project to be accom plished before next Septem ber.
