Many years ago, when Colonel Mil ifayward received a number of attractive offers as a track ergon the townspeople tilted thejr pokes on the bar and collected enough goW present the vet eran coach and trainer with a gift that induced him to remain on the Eugene campus It was a .beautiful sporting model ancj it certainly caught BiTl s eye . but he didn't tell 'em they couldn't mdVe him away from his beloved McKcnzie tfout stream and Rogue steelhead strea'm with dynamite. That's why Bill Hayward coached the Webfoots for more than 40 years. . . . You can bet your bottom dollap that Bill Bowerman, coach of two straight Northern Division championships and five Na tional individual champions, will be seriously considered for any track opening of note. . . . L Bill's three Northern Division titles in seven seasons is really something against track powers like WSC and Washington and the 29 points scored in the NCAA in Los Angeles Satur day is the highest finish and most points ever collected by an Oregon squad. The fourth place is three notches higher than the seventh place in 1939 when Washington won the title and the 29 is nine more points than the 20-point total (ninth place) in 1952. ... Bowerman is so well thought-of by his fellow Pacific Coast Conference coaches that he coached the PCC squad against the Big Ten in a dual meet at Berkeley Tuesday. . . . The mile vie-, tory by Jim Bailey and the two-mile triumph by Ken Reiser Saturday follows the mile victory by Bill Dellinger last year, Dm Barnes in the high jump in 1952, and Chuck Missfeldt in the javelin in 1951. ... Back to Bowerman and the red jalop. We rather believe that Bowerman is much like Hayward in his love for the Uni versity of Oregon and this part of the country not for the fish ing (which certainly, would not satisfy Colonel Bill now), but for fundamentally the similar reasons. . . . Bill and Barbara are of pioneer stock and have virtually hacked their homcsite out of the Coburg hills and hammered and sawed themselves the home they have always wanted (some day we're going to see how well Bill ' has taught Barbara the art of laying flooring). ... In addition to a home of their own their family also likes the "wilds." . . . Bill Bowerman is considerably more than the University of Oregon track coach. He is also assistant director of athletics and the founder of the present grant-in-aid system which he is re sponsible for. . . . We doubt if you could induce Bill to move from Eugene or the Coburg hills but if and when the time comes, remember the crimson-red sports car. -. ir Unless someone proves differently, the victory of Reiser in the two-mile, Bailey in the mile and Dellinger as a second in the mile at the Coliseum, several sunny Saturday rec ords were established. . . . First time one school has had a mile and two-mile champ in one meet, first time one school has had a one-two finish in the mile, first time that a school has had two i sophomore mile champions, and the first time since Larry Shields and Skyler Enck of Penn State have been mile champions in consecutive years. . . . The years were 1922-1923, and Fred Flock of Eugene, former Penn State Rose Bowler says that Enck is now a dentist at Harrisburg, Pa., and is an educator at well known Mercersburg Academy in Pennsylvania. . . . There have been repeaters like Glen Cunningham and Louie Zampcrini. Because there is no two-mile in the National AAU, Ken Reiser will compete in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at Boulder, Colo. . . . With his stamina, he might well be Oregon's first AAU champ since Boyd Brown in the javelin in 1942. . . . There will be Bill Dellinger in the mile (against Wes Santee). Don't sell short the possibility of Jack Morris surprising the critics, more in the low hurdles than the 100, both of which he ,. will run as a representative of Eddie Durno's newly-formed Med' ford University Club. ie Congratulations to the Emeralds management. . . . The bat boys are now in uniform at Bethel Park. . . . The fits are not too good, but better than Don Edwards, the Yakima pitcher who worked Saturday's nightcap. . . . Edwards, by the way, is an assistant baseball coach at the University of Indiana, and when Hub Kittle managed Terra-Haute in the Thrce-I league, pitched for him. BraVes Claim.

By The Associated Presi Mgr. Leo Durocher may have diagnosed (he whole -National League pennant race when he explained why he benched Willie Mays, the darling of the New York Giants a year ago. Confused," is the way Leo pegged Willie's trouble. And if that doesn't describe the way the National League is behaving, it'll do until something better comes along. This was supposed to be one of those "dream races, with every body getting into the act. Trouble is, the Brooklyn Dodgers rocketed away out front and have shown no signs of faltering while the other seven clubs grope around looking for a way out. It is a pretty dandy race at that, if you exclude the Dodgers who are 11 games out front. The second-place Cubs are just 2V4 games up on Milwaukee. The Giants are another two games back and two games ahead of fifth-place Cincinnati. Philadel phia and St. Louis are a virtual tie for sixth another game back. Only Pittsburgh, 25 games behind the Dodgers, is solidly in the cel lar. Milwaukee moved up on the Cubs as Gene Conley won his ninth decision Monday night, 2' over Pittsburgh. Cincinnati, mean' while, made it five straight de feats for the Mays-less Giants, 5-3, and St. Louis topped Phila delphia 4-1 with Rookie Luis Ar royo winning his eighth. Brooklyn and the Cubs were idle. So was the entire American league. The Braves made it four straight behind Conley's four hitter, although getting just four hits themselves off loser Vern Law and Bob Purkey. Arroyo, beaten only twice dropped his earned run average to 1.91 and batted in two runs with a single and after becoming the father of a baby boy earlier in the day. Cincinnati broke Jim Hearn' hitless spell in a four-run fifth inning. Hearn contributed a run scoring error as the Redlegs got four singles and a double by Stan Palys in the frame. Bevos, Suds btar berjes By THJS ASSOCIATED PRFS The Seattle Ralniefs, fresh from feasting on the San Brands co Seals for a ful week, change their diet toBears from Sort land Tuesday night and njay find trj chewing a little tougher. TRe.Raimers dined well on the Seals seven straight but the third-place Beavers look like a little stiller opposition. Seattle, only one game behind first-place San Diego, will, shoot the works in an attempt tp itake .over me lead. San Diego should have easier going in its home park against the Sad Sacs of Sacramento. The Capital City creW seemingly is destined for a last-place finish after a surprisingly early-season spurt, but is enjoying the com pany of San Francisco. Tommy ' Heaths . Seals move down to Los Angeles, where Bob Scheffing is having as much trouble with the Angels as did his departed predecessor, Bill Sweeney. A good series, for the Seals could tumble the Angels into seventh place and pull the San Franciscans up a notch U sixth. The two are separated by only 1V4 games. Hollywood and Oakland will bat tle for the middle spot in the standings at Emeryville. 'ime Changed Pitchford Mack Sales and Springfield Junior Legion base ball clubs will meet in a double- header at Bethel Park Wednes day night. Starting time for the1 first game has been changed to 30 p.m. McMurtry Out TACOMA Wl A hand injury suffered in a bout two weeks ago in Seattle will keep Pat McMur try out of the ring until next fall, the Tacoma heavyweight's father said Monday. C. E.

TONIGHT! plan to attend PARMENTER'S NEW CAR PCC Favored o Over Big Ten SAN -FRANCISCO (ID Jim Golliday, NorthwcVern Univer-, sity's great sprinter, will be seek ing a new world record in Hie 100-yard dash Tuesday night when the Pacific Cgast Confer ence and the Big Ten tangle in their 14th renewal oj their track and field feud. Golliday tied the world record sf 9.3 earlier this year and on the fast track at Edwards field may be able to better that. He also is given a very good chance of eras ing a 13-year-old mark for the meet, the 9.5 set by Hal Davis of California in 1942, and equalled by Willie Williams of Illinois in 1953. The Pacific Coast Conference, with an 8-5 lead in victories again is favored to win this meet with ''the major portion of the help coming from the USC Tro jans, recent winners of the NCAA championship.1 Young Bobby Scamarl of UC LA, who recently was clocked in 4:01.4 for the mile, has announc ed he will run in the half-mile, instead for this meet. But Bill Dellinger and Jim Bailey of Ore gon and Sid Wing of the Trojans both have bettered the meet mark of 4:09.4, set by Don Lash of Indiana in 1937. One of the top races on the menu was expected to be in the 880 between Michigan's Pete Gray and Oregon's Bailey. Gray chased Fordham's Tom Courtney to a new NCAA half-mile record last Saturday, while Bailey knocked off teammate Dellinger in the mile. Top Golfgrs Set 0 In Western Open PORTLAND, Ore. (m The golfer who keeps his driver and wedge hot will be tne winner of the $15,000 Western Open golf championship starting here Thursday, the host pro said Tuesday. Larry Lamberger, professional at the Portland. Golf Club who is familiar with every blade of grass in the lush, rolling course, also said he didn't believe the 261 fired by Ben Hogan in winning the 1945 Portland Open over the same course would be equalled, or even threatened. Lamberger said be believed a score of 275 would be good enough for the title. He said pos sible winners are Gene Littler, Ed Porky Oliver, Sam Sncad and Julius Boros. The Portland course will meas ure a little more than 6600 yards for the four-day event. The rough is not too devastating and the greens are excellent Lamberger predicts good putters will have a field day in dropping in long ones. Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore. Tucs., June 21, 1955 3B Three Portlanders Qualify for Publinx PORTLAND WV-Roy Atkins of Portland shaved three strokes off par Monday to lead Oregon quali fiers for the National Public Links golf tournament scheduled June 11 at Indianapolis. Atkins toured the par-72 Rose City golf course in 70 on the first 18 and came back with a 2-under par 71 on the second 18. The other two qualifying spots went to Bob Parry, 72-71143, and Gene Maidment, 70-73 143, both of Portland. Moore at 2-1 To Heat Olson NEW YORK (IB-Bobo Olstm wants an oxygen tank to help win the light heavyweight title from 38-year-old Archie Moore Wednes day night at the Polo Grounds. Dr. Sam Sherman of San Fran cisco, personal physician to mid dleweight champion Olson, ' will ask the boxing commission for permission to administer oxygen to Bobo between rounds. Trainer Fred Bianchi explained Tuesday, "The oxygen will give him a lift. Yes, we've used it be fore in a few fights, including the one with Joey Maxim on April 13." Meanwhile, it appeared the oxygen might be necessary; for Moore became a 2-1 betting fa vorite, and bookies said he prob ably would - go into the ring at 3-1. A poll of 26 sports writers resulted in 19 picking Moore to win and only seven selecting Ol son. Eleven of the 19 Moore vot ers predicted a kayo. Promoter Jim Norris gave some encouragement to Olson when he disclosed that Bobo would be giv en serious consideration as Sep tember heavyweight challenger if he beats ancient Archie im pressively Wednesday night. Olson loafed at his camp in Asbury Park, N. J., Wednesday; but Moore said he might spar two more rounds at Summit, N. J., to help keep his weight down to close to the required 175 pounds Archie predicted, "I'll come in at 1741b pounds, and 1 11 knock Ol son out."
