day, that the Grants Pass cinders
were too soggy for competition.
A Roseburg aggregation, which

sumably because of transporta
tion difficulties.

were well divided among the
schools. Ashland took five along
with the Tigers, and Grants Pass
garnered four. Medford's oppor
tunity to win another event
slipped by, when Dale Nieder

tumbled and fell. The accident
dropped the Bengals back to
third place.

YALE SWIM TEAM
AIL TITLE
New Haven, Conn., April 4.
(JP) Twice shattering the
world's ISO-yard back stroke rec
ord, Adolph Klefer of Chicago
tonight proved the sensation of
the national A.A.U. swimming
championships.
Klefer, one of the country's
greatest dorsal stars,' won his
specialty In 1:30.9, bettering his
old international standard of
1:32.7, which had stood since
1936.
The 23-year old Olympic
champion, who is in the adver
tising business, thrilled this af
ternoon's audience with an ef
fort that cut three-tenths of a
second off his six year record,
but it was nothing compared to
tonight's specacular perform
ance. So good was Kiefer's stunt, It
stood out over Bill Prew's world
record-equalling 100-yard sprint.
Frew, of the Detroit A.C. but an
army flying cadet and last year's
national collegiate champion,
won the century in 51 seconds,
tying the record of Johnny
Weissmuller, who set it in 1927,
and of Peter Fick of the New
York A.C, who did it in 1936.
PERL'S HA
TOURNEY STARTS
The annual John A. and Frank
Perl spring handicap tourna
ment, marking the official pass
ing of winter so far as local
golfers are concerned, will start
today and end next Sunday at
the Rogue Valley Golf club.
This year, for the first time,
the tourney championship will
be determined on a 36-hole, med
al play basis instead of by match
play. Players will shoot their
first 18 holes today and their fi
nal 18 next Sunday, with the low
net scorer winning a year's pos
session of the handsome Perl
trophy. Full handicaps will be
allowed.
Club Pro Laddie Selkirk said
that this tournament was the
first In a long series planned for
the spring and summer, and urg
ed all members to enter. Selkirk
also asked that members in pos
session of non-permanent cups
and trophies return them to the
clubhouse so they can be placed
on display and become available
for this year's winners of the
tournaments to be staged.
CANCEL SALMON DERBY
Seattle. April 4. (,) The
Seattle Times today announced
cancellation of its annual city
salmon derby "for the duration."
BIG
FACE BRAZIL TO
Handsome Pedro Brazil and
Irish Jim Casey, who possess
the best records of any of Mack
Lillard's current mat gladiators,
will attempt to notch their
fourth conquests In the armory
Monday night against capable
opponents.
The South American champ
Ion, whose Ion defeat in Med
ford was suffered at the hands
of Vincent Lopez a month ago,
will battle Chief Thunderbird,
the huge full-blooded Indian, In
the one-hour main event of the
weekly wrestling program.
Brazil, . since appearing In
Medford, has won three matches
and drawn one against that
single Lopez setback, and hopes
to add another scalp to his col
lection In the form of Thunder
bird's pelt. Pedro might have a
tough time accomplishing this,
as the Redman is powerful and,
at times, very unorthodox.
Casey, whose local record also
stands at three wins, one draw
and one loss (to Brazil), will ap
pear in the middle event against
Tug Carlson, a newcomer whose
recent grapple action has taken
place in San Francisco and envi
rons. The Irishman is rapidly be
coming one of the best-liked
pachyderms ever to show In this
part of the country and Carlson
better be good or James will add
to his lustrous local escutcheon.
Another new face will make
hi; Medford debut In the four
round opener. He is Billy Mar
cus, also lata of San Francisco,
and he'll go against Andre
Adoree, the popular French
Canadian who has been beaten
only once in the local squared
circle, while winning twice and
drawing twice.
It will be ladies' night, with all
feminine fans regardless of age
being admitted free when accom
panied by a male or female pur
chaser of either a reserved seat
or general admission ducat. The
largest crowd of the year Is ex
pected to attend.

ASHEVILLE FIELD
Asheville. N. C, April 4
(AP) In a performance that was
like a rerun of last year's movie,
Lawson Little duplicated his
course record, third round 68 of
1941. to lead the field by three
strokes today after 54 holes of
the $3,000 land of the sky open.
Little, with an amazing burst
of putting, set the stage for to
morrow's final 18 holes, with
Defending Champion Ben Hogan
and -Byron Nelson, the two most
feared men In the field, tied for
second place with 208, within
easy striking distance.
Hogan, who last year over
hauled Little in the last round
after the former U. S. open and
amateur king shot his record
score, had a 68 today.
Nelson, playing perfect golf,
equalled Little's 66 on the pace
and the way he did It boded no
good for the rest of the money
seekers. In contrast to Little's unbe
lievable putting (he had 11 one
putt greens and a total of 25
putts for the 18 holes) Nelson's
game was best from tee to green.
He hit every shot and sank only
one putt of more than 10 feet.
Little canned them from all
over the carpet, getting down
from 23 feet on number nine and
then, before a huge gallery, drop
ping one from 50 feet on the
home hole.

tle Near Oil Fields.
London, April 4 UP) Out
numbered British and Chinese
troops took up stronger new
positions north of fallen Promc
and loungoo tonight In a grim
effort to halt fierce Japanese
drives toward the Burma oii
fields and toward Mandalay,
already under heavy fire from
enemy bombers.
Military men said there was
no doubt that the Japanese
would continue without pause
their thrusts to the rich prizes
north of the battlefields before
the monsoon due within three
weeks bogs down the Nip
ponese war machine and re
stricts Japanese warplanes which
now pour down death unop
posed from the skies.
Beyond the cryptic announce
ment that the Japanese who
followed up the British with
drawal from Prome had "beer
successfully dealth with," there
was scant information about the
progress of fighting since the
key towns were given up.
The battle lines still were
some 200 or more miles south
of Mandalay the romantic city
of Kipling's song but only 40
to 80 miles from the rich oil
fields which feed the allied
battle planes and their mechan
ized equipment.
Mandalay. on the main rail
road from Rangoon to the Lashio
terminus of the Berma road
was blasted heavily Friday by
Japanese bombers which ap
parently met no effective op
position. The British said a
hospital was hit but that nc
military damage was done.
Mandalay had been bombed
before. Heavy damage was In
fllcted on military and civilian
pronerty February 19.
The Japanese, who have con
trolled the Burma air for 10
days following knockout blows
on RAF and American volunteer
group airports in central Burma,
raided two other central' Burma
towns which the military did
not name.
IN HOCKEY TEST
Toronto. April 4 (JP) De
troit beat the Toronto Maple
Leafs to the punch tonight for
a 3 to 2 victory In the first game
of the Stanley cup hockey series.
The hard-hitting visitors
racked up two goals in the first
period, which the Leafs matched,
and got the winner in the second.
After establishing this lead
the Red Wings threw up a sound
defense, which, backed by great
goal tending from Johnny Mow
ers, turned back the Leafs at
every stage.
Don (the Count) Grosso was
the individual star of the torrid
contest.

San Francisco, April 4. (JP)
Navy petty officers brought to
the homeland today their first
hand account of escape from the
Langley and Pecos as these ships
sank In a rain of Japanese
bombs.
They told a vivid story of men
dying at their battle stations, of
wounded struggling for hours in
choppy seas as enemy submar
ines kept rescue craft at bay. It
was a tale of valor on the part
of officer's and men alike, of
fighting spirit and of close loyal
ties, tragic, dramatic and not en
tirely unleavened by humor.
D. Ashcroft of Coeur d'Alene,
Ida., chief pharmacists mate
aboard the naval tanker Pecos,
recalled how "Jughead" Crider,
a gun captain from Kentucky,
came down to the after battle
dressing station shortly after the
enemy's five-hour attack on the
vessel began.
Jughead was wounded then,
carried pieces of shrapnel in his
back, Ashcroft said. "I dressed
him and he insisted, on going
back to his gun.
"About an hour later he was
brought down again, with fresh
wounds. We couldn't save him."
Then there was Kenneth E.
Brown of San Jose, Calif., chief
printer on the Langley. A wisp
of a man, he nonetheless took
his battle station along with all
the others when the first run of
bombers came over the old air
craft tender lust before noon on
February 27.
A stock of bombs landed 20
feet from his post, and a sheet
of flame sprang up, cutting
Brown and his crew off from the
rest of the ship. They leaped
overboard and had fallen more

OF YOUNG MOTHER
LEAVES NO GLUE
Qulncy, Mass., April 4. (JP)
Waylaying of a young mother
by a brutal slayer as she re
turned from her Easter shopping
was the possibility investigated
by police tonight after discovery
of the nude, battered body of an
attractive brown-haired girl In
an idle granite quarry.
The body was found earlier
today wedged grotesquely
among discarded blocks of stone,
and nearby lay a package con
taining newly purchased chil
dren's underclothing and a new
boy's leather belt with a buckle
bearing the gold initials "C. C."
The new clothing appeared to
be for a young boy and prelim
inary autopsy revealed the vic
tim was a mother.
Estimates of her age ranged
from late 'teens to 30 and as in
vestigators tracked down five
groundless clues to her identity
they said she probably lived in
a nearby town but they doubted
that she came from Quincy.
