James Ronald Clark was born in 1928 in The Dalles. He first came in contact with the sport of golfing til the age of five when his mother took him to the local course every Ladies' Day. Ron soon wearied of walking around the course follow ing the players, so he picked up a club and a ball and began to putt, and he was on his way in the world of golf. Ron played iii local tourna ments during his years at The Dalles high school, then joined _ the 82nd Airborne Division after his senior year. In the service he won the Fort Bragg golf crown. As a paratrooper, Kon laughing ly asserts that he never jumped once, hut was “pushed out” 14 times. The muscular Mr. Clark entered the University of Oregon in the fall of 1948 and pledged Theta Chi fra ternity. In the spring he led his house to the intramural golf title, and stepped outside to play in fast er company. Going to a Housedance?

When the amateurs of the state congregated at Astoria in June for the Oregon Golf Association cham pionship meet, Ron Clark was just another name on the huge entry list. Every new day found that name in the winner’s circle, until Ron fin ally defeated the defending champ, Lou Jennings, 4-3, to take the laur els. TEAMED WITH STAFFORD Eyebrows were raised still fur ther when Ron teamed with Lou Stafford, another Oregon great, to win the Mid-Columbia best-ball meet in July. Later in the month, Clark journeyed to Seattle for the Pacific Northwest Golf Associa tion tournament, and proceeded to knock the favorites off right and left. He finally lost a gruelling 36-hole match, 2-1, to the eventual cham pion, Bruce McCormick, in the semifinals. Amid a blustering gale at The Dalles Country Club, Ron won two titles in one tournament. The first was the coveted Oregon Op en championship which he pock eted by topping a field led by Em ery Zimmerman, Oregon's lead ing pro. The second was awarded by the newspapers whose headlines hailed him as the “Golden Boy.” In Aug ust, he led all amateurs in the Es merelda Open in Idaho, and when the Hudson Cup matches were held in October, Ron was the Pacific Northwest’s leading amateur golf er. ACTIVE ON CAMPCS Stocky, brown-eyed Ron is also active in school and fraternal af- ■ fairs. A sophomore in pre-dentis- I try, he is a member of Skull and I Dagger. At Theta Chi, he was elected pledge class president, and later house secretary. Besides be-1 ing number one man on the chap ter's golf team, Ron played intra mural basketball and football.
