Myers' Torrid
Round Brings
1-Up Victory
Bob Prall. one of the top fa
vorites to take the big title in
the ninth annual Elks Mid-Willamette
Valley Golf Tournament,
was knocked from the running
Friday despite firing a sizzling
68 in second-round championship
flight action at Salem Golf Club.
Kent Myers, member of the Wil
lamette University links team,
fashioned the stunning upset by
uncorking a sizzling brand of
golf on his own part to take a 1-up
victory.
The other three championship
flight quarter-finals matches will
be played either today or Sun
day. They include Jack Brande
vs. Ray Strand, Jim Sheldon s.
Lawrence Alley and Ron Hoie vs.
Harvey Quistad. Heavy action
also is due this weekend in the
numerous lower flights.
Deadline for second round play
is Sunday night.
Myers, in knocking off Prall.
stroked a white-hot 32 on the final
nine and wrapped up the match
by sinking an eight-foot putt on
the last hole for a birdie. Prall
also birdied the 18th in his des
perate bid to stay in the running,
but saw his hopes killed as Myer s
putt connected.
Prall had a. one-hole margin at
the turn and was two-up after 12
holes. Myers then began his ral
ly and pulled to the fore with a
btrdie on the 16th.

at 3 o'clock.
The Bearcat baseballers, so far
unbeaten in conference play,
take on Whitman's diamond ag
gregation in a doubleheader at
Walla Walla this afternoon, in
the first portion of a rugged road
trip schedule. On Monday the
Willamette tossers go to Cald
well for a pair with the College
of Idaho Coyotes.
Today's cinder clash between
Wiftmette and the 'Missionaries
looks like a close engagement
from, start to finish. The Mission
aries lxast a number of strong
threats, but their lack of depth
may hurt them.
Whitman stars the unbeaten
Ogdahl troupe will have to worry
particularly about are Harold
Parrott, the conference's top dis
tance man, who has done a 4:27
mile and 1:58 in the 880; Bill
Mays, conference champion in
the 440, which he has run in 50.0;
Dave Whecler,who has a best
time of :9.9 in the century: Dave
Klicker, former Washington prep
king in the hurdles and owner
of a recent mark of :14.9 in the
high sticks; and Bill Klise, a 12'
6" man in the pole vault.
Willamette' Judson Jones re
cently set an all-time school
mark in the 440 with a 50.3 time,
so it may be quite a duel be
tween him and Mays. A good
share of the WXJ hopes today
will center on the weights where
Jim Hitchman, conference de
fending king, will toss the shot
put and Layton Gilson, another
circuit champ, will hurl the disc
us. WU's Stan Neperud is favored
in the javelin, being the confer
ence spear king.
Coach John Lewis' baseballers
have won five straight confer
ence games, but their hopes for
a second straight title will de
pend greatly on how they fare
against Whitman and College of
Idaho today and Monday.
Big Andy Gfnrge is due to
pitch today's first game at Walla
Walla and Dave Gray probably
will go in the nightcap.

Statesman Sports Editor
Off to a flying even if half
grozen start, the town Senators
again spilled the Edmonton Es
kimos last night at Waters Field,
their second straight victory in as
many tries in this brand new and
icicled Western International Lea
gue flag race.
This time it was 9 to 4, and
hard-throwing Johnny Briggs, the
20-year-old righthander from Fol
som, Cal., who was with Idaho
Falls a season ago, notched the
triumph. He fanned 10 in ,the
process and was in command all
the way after Cuban Connie
Perez tripled in two runs for him
in the first inning.
Not unlike opening night, it
was bitter cold again last night
so frigid that only 386 brave
and well blanketed folks turned
out for the game.
There was nothing cold about
the chunky righthander, however.
Three singles cost him two runs
in the fourth inning, and another
single, a couple of walks and two
ground - outs netted the other
two markers against him in the
eighth. He breezed the rest of
the way.
By the time Edmonton scored
its pair in the fourth, Salem had
a 6-0 lead, thanks to the two-run
first inning and a four-run blast
at Starter Larry Manier in the
third. So it was easy for young
and strong Johnny.
Series Swept
In winning last night's game
the Solons swept the opening pair
with the Eskies. Tonight the
resident flock opens a three-game
stand with Calgary's Stampeders,
with game time at eight o'clock.
Tonight is the first of the every-Saturday-night
"Family Night"
offerings also, with prizes to the
more fortunate clients.
Sunday's doubleheader with
the Stamps is to start at 2 p.m.
that is, if the ball park isn't froz
en too stiff to use by then.
Gene Tanselli's bunt-hit and
Mel Krause's infield safety set it
up for Connie's triple in the first.
It was the first Senators three
baser of the young campaign and
it netted the popular Cuban a
load of prize loot.
In the third Jack Bukowatz
walked, Krause picked up an
other single. Boss Harv Storey
handcuffed Third-baseman Dwane
Kling with another single, Perez
was hit by a pitch and Pete
Estrada drilled a two-run solo
through the middle for the four
Salem runs off Manier.
There was no further Solon
scoring for the next three in
nings as Reliefer Dale Hittle, a
swift righthander, blew through
the Senators, striking out six,

Some 300,000 fishermen are ex
pected to head for mountain
streams Saturday when the trout

The weather forecast is for clear

few clouds in eastern parts of the
state. Temperatures are expected
to rise during the day after a chilly

Vandals Unset
Staters, 4-0
MOSCOW, Idaho UP The Idaho
Vandals used timely hitting and
sparkling defensive play to take
their first Northern Division base
ball victory of the season Friday,
a 4-0 win over heavily favored
Oregon State. ,
The Vandals collected only five
hits off OSC ace Norb Weilman,
but made them all count. Idaho
pitcher Ken Hallett gave up seven
hits, but escaped trouble through
alert fielding.
The Vandals scored once in the
second frame, on two hits. They
added another in the fifth on two
Beaver errors and a wild pitch,
and sewed up the victory in the
eighth with two more hits and an
OSC error. '
The Beavers loaded the bases in
the fourth, when they got four hits,
but failed to find a run-making
combination. A double play by the
Vandals ended another bases-loaded
threat in the fifth inning.
It was Oregon State's first loss

LOUISVILLE. Ky. W The
names of 18 horses were dropped
into the entry box Friday for the
80th Kentucky Derby, which cer
tainly is one of the most confus
ing and positively will be the rich
est running of the great American
turf classic.
Although there is no absolute
standout for the mile and one quar
ter event for 3-year-olds, Correla
tion from California rules the 5-2
favorite to nab his third $100,000
prize in a row.
If all 18 go postward to the
strains of "My Old Kentucky
Home" Saturday afternoon, the pot
will total $124,850. This would mean
$102,800 to the winner, compared
with Cotint Turf's record haul of
$98,050 in 1952. That, too, was an
unpredictable derby, as Count Turf
trimmed 19 rivals and paid $31.20
for $2.
Post time tomorrow Is 1:30 p.m.,
PSTwith a crowd of some 100,000
expected. Thousands will be on
hand . to stream into the gates
which open at 8 a.m., with the
first face post being 11:30 a.m.
Correlation, owned by Robert S.
Lytle, Los Angeles oilman,' already
has copped two hundred-grand-ers
the Florida Derby March 20
and the Wood Memorial last Satur
day. His main rival Saturday appears
to be Goyamo, a colt he defeated
by a length is the Florida Derby.
Goyamo is owned jointly by the
Woodvale Farm of Royce G. Mar
tin, Toledo, Ohio, electric automo
bile equipment man, and Mrs. W.
Alton Jones of New York, wife of
the head of Cities Service Oil Co.
In the Wood Memorial. Correla
tion defeated Cornelius Vanderbilt
Whitney's Fisherman, rugged little
brown son of Phalanx, who lost
the 1947 derby by a head to Jet
Pilot.
Goyamo, a come-from-behind
colt by Goya II who won the Blue
Grass Stakes last week, is listed
as second choice at 4-1. Goyamo
will bedridden by Eddie Arcaro,
who holds the derby jockey record
of five victories. Willie Shoemak
er, 1953 jockey champion, again
will be aboard Correlation.
The probable third choice in the
mutuels is Hasty Road, from the
Hasty House Farm of Allie Reu
ben, Toledo real estate man. Has
ty Road is the Louisville favorite,
because he broke the Churchill'
Downs track record Tuesday by
winning the one mile derby trial in
1:35 flat.
He will have a running mate.
Sea O Erin, and the entry is listed
at 5-1, a shade under the California
pair of Determine and Allied.
