PAGE FOUR ROGUE NEWS FRI., MAY 1, 1970 Thinclads Post State's Best While Setting Meet Records Ashland High trackmen have fared well in five meets so far this season breaking several records, and posting some of the best times in the state for 1970. In a meet last weekend the Grizzlies dropped a squeaker to Grants Pass 73-71 with Klamath placing a distant third at 26 points. Sets Meet Records The squad set four meets records and captured seven first places. Hurdle ace Roger Hall broke meet records in the high and low hurdles with respective times of 14.2 and 19.6. His low time is the best posted in the state running on a curve and equals the school record set by Bobby Voris. Other records were set by Jim Pardee with a long jump of 22'-9" dnly " off the school record set by Steve Gray in 1960. It is also the best jump in the state so far this year. Ed Beadle posted a 22.8 meet record in the 220 for the 5th best in the state and only .5 seconds off the school record held by Ron Boyce. First place winners included Dennis Teskey's 50'-9" effort in the shot put, Brian Keiling's 6 high jump, and a mile relay time -- ' - . j JERRY SUTTON displays shot put form which won him a 2nd place put of S0'-2" at the Grants Pass Invitational held last Saturday. of 3:33.4 by Roger Hall, Tom McDowell, Al Lord, and Mike Toney. Sweep K. Falls In an earlier meet held at Klamath Falls, the Ashland squad took ten firsts in outscoring the Pelicans 83-13 to 52-23. Roger Hall was again a double winner running the high hurdles in 14.1 and lows in 19.9 as well as a leg in the winning mile relay team. Field event winners included Scott Toll's 5.9 high jump, Dennis Teskey with a shot put of 51'-34" and Jerry Sutton tossing the javelin 164'5". Jim Pardee again broke the 22 feet Jocks Speak Odd Tongue "Love-30, service" "Uggh" "Rip that seed" "Dub, Dub, Dub" To non-athletes, expressions like these will fall upon his unsuspecting ears unnoticed, but to an atnlete, they mean something. Take the first one, "Love-30, service" for example, doesn't that sound like the name of some lonely hearts club for little old men over 30? And that's just on tennis idiom. When a tennis player says deuce, he doesn't mean two's are wild . . . but rather, that the score is tied. Then if the server scores, there's in add. Getting one more point he wins, but if his opponent gets the point it's duece again. That could go forever, but luckily, tennis player can't count. They skip from love to 15 to 30 to 40. Incidentally, love-30 service is how the server announces the serve and score. Love, meaning zero, is his own tally and 30 is his opponent's. Serving twice in either the wrong court, or out of bounds is labeled a double fault. Tennis players also act as hurdlers in disguise. After a match, it's customary for the winner to jump over the net and shake the loser's hand. Let's hope he doesn't stumble! Mentioning hurdlers, trackmen don't talk like us either. Ever heard of running a split? Ruining .a split with over-ripe bananas maybe . . . Listening carefully, one discovers this refers to that portion of a relay run by one man. The thinclads also watch smoke, and count steps. All that on a track? Well delving into the matter one sees that timers must watch the smoke from the starter's gun rather than listen for the sound, in order to start the watch correctly. Counting the number of steps it takes to run to the long jump or high jump pit is just natural to high and long jumpers. This, they say helps them jump higher, farther and take-off right. Wonder if parachutists count their steps? An anchor in track is capable of running the last leg of a relay. That "uggh" is what one hears watching a "Medford petunia" put the shot. If one goes to the baseball field he'll find the pitcher winding-up, the batter squeezing a runner home on a suicide by laying down a bunt and the team chattering. If you're smart, you won't go down to the baseball field. That arm action on the mound is a wind-up. A suicide is when the team desperately needs a run, so with a runner on third, the batter bunts. While the pitcher winds (remember winding-up, learned earlier) the runner on third streaks for home. Ever notice how a coach or player is always straightening his cap, or licking his fingers, or something? Strange enough, they aren't spastic and don't have habitually runny noses. Those ridiculous antics mean something! Signs, however, are confidential. Back to "rip that seed" -in human terminology that's hit the baU. Now, we come to the most malicious linguistic maze of all Golf! Linkmen have weapons; such things as clubs, wedges, even 9-irons. Their balls slice, hook, and pitch. And many times a golfer will birdie or bogie, I lock my doors at night, hoping he won't get me. As usual I was wrong. A slice is when your ball veers to the right, and hook is to the left. Pitch is a type of short-range shot. A birdie is one under par and a bogie is one over par. I'm depending on your intelligence to figure out par. Those funny words "dub, dub, dub" supposedly illustrate how the ball sounds when you really swing and it only goes a piddlin' little ways. Now that everyone has brushed up on "athletic adjectives," put this knowledge to use and next time you see a sportsman, say a "dub dub" or two at him. mark placing first at 221". Also included in the list of the firsts were Jim McLean, running the two mile in 10:12.5, Ed Beadle in the 220 at 23.1, and AlLord in the 440 at 54.2. At Medford's annual Rogue Relays the Ashland squad tied down third place with 68 points. While only placing third the squad snared the largest number of first places with four. Hall Breaks Records The meet highlight was high hurdle star Roger Hall's 14 0 to break the school, meet and stadium record as well as posting the best time in the state for the year.
