Oldfield duplicated Monday's 74 stroke total on the RoseburK course as ha birdied the last two holes at the Rofiue Valley Country Club at Medford. Together with a 73 scor ed Sunday at Eugene, that gave him a three-day total of 221. He needed the twin birdies to top Harold West, Eugene, who posted a 222 over the three-day grind. Right behind was Al Williams, Med ford nrn. with 224. An amateur, Medford's George Harrington, shot a 71 for the day s best card Tuesday. Joe Moel, Portland, was low pro with a 72, a feat which gave him sixth place among pros. Williams came through with a 73 on his home course. Oldfield needed only two strokes to birdie the 17th hole at Medford and finished with a birdie-4 on the par-5 18th hole. That was just enough to put his card one stroke under that posted by the veteran West.

The Indian coach, Frank Purdy Sr., has token advantage of the recent sunny weather to get his squad in shape for the track opener. (Paul Jenkins). Douglas Trackmen To Enter Roseburg Invitational Meet RoMburg, Oregon, Phortt OR 3-5553 Douglas High School trackmen are working hard completing lime trials in preparation for this week-1 end's Roseburg Invitational Track Meet at Finlay Field Saturday. I But Coach Bob McCollum said depth is missing in his squad, mostly in the field events. The re cent sunny weather gave the team a break, as it did most schools in the county preparing for spring sports. But McCollum said good performances irom most oi the squad are dependent on more good weather. Most ot the team's strength lies in the running events. Best per formances have been hown by sen or Hrcnt sir ck and in the Hur dle events and Cliff Thomson, the sophomore who promises to write mile history among hifh schools in the county. Douglas will be in its first in vitational track meet here. It will compete with (Ira tits I'a.ss, Ko.se-1 burg, Marshfield, North Bend and i Cottage Grove among the several j events of the sixth annual feature i this Saturday. 1 Others who have shown siiins of sparkle include senior Keith Uy der and sophomore John Krbe in the hurdles, possibly the Trojans strongest event; Junior Hopper, a junior high jumper who has caught the coach s eye; sopnomore jhck McLennan in the 440-yard dash; and sophomore Fred Myers, a let ter man cross-country runner who will be backing up Thomson in the mile. There are" other promising pros pects, said McCollum, hut they haven't been out long enough to judge carefully. Spring vacation and "Oklahoma!" has cut some what into the athletic schedule. One freshman basketball play . Nelson Mills, shows notcntiitl production in the field events, the coach said.
