One of the top compliments tendered by the convening members of the Oregon- Coaches association in their annual cinder classic banquet 'Friday night at Corvallis wasaimed at OSC's Percy Locey & Co. for the deftness and welcome timeliness with which the blue ribbon derby was handled- The jsthool officials Locey, Lon Stiner, Luke and Slats Gill, Ralph Coleman, et al have had posies pitched at 'em before for adroitness ; in. clocking off the state's No. 1 clnde ,the 19th addition w ! carnival, and jas no exception despite ram, mud and the large field of 62 entry 'schools.

'- Salem's Vikings were indexed in a tie for seventh in the payoff . meet finally, but don't settle for it yet. Coach Tommy Drynan has .issued a protest against the judgment of the 100-yard dash finish, and. .if could have seen that race you'd know how come. No doubt that Corvallis Dick Edmpndson copped it, but it would have taken a photo : finish to determinelwho wag in the next five places at the tape. Blond BobiWeber of the Viks was pudged sixth after considerable-deliberation, but Drynan apd others who watched were convinced fafi.t-pedest-ing Robert did much better than that. It was just one of those races w-ith a blanket finish which defied the naked eye. '; : Drynan is more convinced of his calculations after studying the picture we took of the race, same displayed, on this page. .Washing ' ton's Dick Walter (next to Weber) was given fourth place, and in the : picture, taken as the hot-footing troupe was from two to three yards from the; finish, it shows that the Viking speedster is at least in a dead heat with Walker. Ashland's Ted Gandee (second from left and partly hidden by Edmondjson) was judged second place, but his own coach admitted to Drynan1 following the race he didn't think Gandee finished in the money at aljl." ; Moving Picture May Disclose Flaw j , Meet Director Locey -is of course interested in the protest and has asked that moving) pictures taken of the race by Oregon City's Dan ; Jones be shown him as. soon as possible. Should a flaw be found in the judgment via these films, new places will be awarded. And if it's ( found that Weber did snatch a third or fourth, or even fifth in the ' race, it will mean Salem finished considerably better than in a tie for 'seventh. ' - J : ; j. . ' ,., ' i ; The century: was a rip-snorter of a romp and so close that if a flaw is found it certainly won't cast shame on the judges. Trying to pick places via current methods in a race such as that is practically m human impossibility. The day is coming when photo, finishes, a la v the way they do it at the hoss ovals, will be standard equipment for v trak meets. - ,!
