Only one Coast conference record was equalled, and none was broken. Hal Davis, currently the "fastest human" from the Uni versity of California, dominated both dashes and tied the confer ence mark for the 100-yard dash by hustling the distance in 0.6 to share the record set by Clyde Jeffrey of Stanford here in 1930. A headwind may have slowed him up from his 0.4 pace in the rresno relays May 16. Davis also copped the 220, coming in six yards ahead of Cliff Bourland of U. S. C, In 21.6, or six-tenths of a second off the record. Thriller of the meet wat the two-mile. It was a battle between Ralph Dewey, husky Californlan, and gaunt Vic Dyrgall of Idaho Dewey finally won at the tape oy me micxness or his chest as they both gasped across. The time was 9:20.3, or more than seven seconds off the record. Dyrgall led after seven laps by only two paces. Dewey caught him at the end of the final turn and they both wobbled rubber legged neok-and-neck to the finish. Southern California's Cliff Bourland won the 440 and ran the winning leg of the mile re lay. Then, In the relay, Bourland overcame long In the final stretch with a great show of drive to finish ahead by 10 yards. Distances In the field events weie far short of the records, and a headwind bothered the runners although the track was considered fust. U ) Already cut up badly about the face In tha fifth round, Lou If ova (right), the big Californlan, missed completely with a wild right as Let Savold (left), ducked low in their fight at Washington, D. C. Savold won in tha eighth on a technical knockout.

May 30 &t ine little soldier did it; Corp Jim Turnesa of Fort Dix, N. J., sixth ton of a golfing family, defeated the great Byron Nelson of Toledo, on the 37th hols at the Seaview club to qualify to meet Sammy Snead tomorrow In tha finals for the Professional Golfers association championship. How tha swarthy, out-of-nrac- tlce little fighting man did it must remain one of the great mysteries of the fairways. On the 36th green Nelson, one of the world's greatest and most dependable players, needed to sink only a one-foot putt to defeat Turnesa. You could have! nunk It nine times out of ten. But Nelson missed. And then, on the first extra hole, Nelson sliced his drive out of bounds and permitted his tenacious rival to win the match with a par four. Seldom does a top-notcher fall apart like Nelson did today. The soldier simply didn't know when he was licked, lie was three down after the morning 18 and still one down starting the final nine. With two holes to go he was two down. Yet he won both and went on to vic tory. The match was all over to all intents and purposes. Nelson, from about 20 feet, hud laid his putt ' dead," while Turnesa had missed an hem: attempt to sink a chip from off the green. The crowd had given its favorite, Turnesa, a warm round of ap plause for the losing fight he had made. And then Nelson missed.

NO MEMORIAL DAY AUTO SPEED RACE Indianapolis, May 30 P) At the stroke of 10 a. m. today 33 of the world's fastest race cars roared oopps! that's not the story from Indianapolis to day. TV.ls is 1942 a war year and the story is that there is no 500-mile automobile race at the speedway. For the first time In 24 years Indianapolis enjoyed a quiet Memorial day. And automobile race fans only could talk about how Mauri Rose came from far behind to win last year's race. Or perhaps for the old-timers how Ralph DePalmas car stalled less than two laps short of victory in 1912. It could be a "battle of drop kicks," this main event grapple embroglio in the armory Mon day night between Sockeye Jack McDonald and Jumpin' Joe Savoldi, the master of them all at the fine art of knocking a guys head off with your feet Everybody knows what Sav oldi can do when he starts fir ing, for ha la untqualed in this respect. But generally, over looked Is tha fact that McDon ald, himself, is better than a fair hand at propelling himself through tha ozone, tootles first, and leveling unhappy opponents with a single shot. Of course McDonald does not place as much reliance on the dropklck as does Savoldi. It isn't even his most potent at tacking weapon, like it is Sav oidl's. And although he has taken many falls with the man euver, his record along these lines c.il't compare with Sav oldi's. However, McDonald on occa sions has displayed a dropkick only a little less potent than Savoldi'a best, and it is entirely within the realm of possibility that Sockeye, always an opti mist, will go out there and gam ble on trading double-leg wal lops with the ex-Notre Dame grid star. If this occurs the customers can be assured of see ing wrestlers splattered all over the ring. George Craig, a big favorite here some six years ago, will return to face lariat-spinning cowboy Duke Chick in the six round middle event The for mer Tulsa, Okie., blacksmith who Is following the trade at Camp White at the present time looks in great shape for the tus sle and probably Is. He says he has been running a mile every day. In the opening main event Chief Thunderblrd, Vancouver. B. C. Indian, will tangle with Joe Corbett of Australia, the fel low who gave Savoldi such a tough time of it on last week's program. They'll go four six minute rounds or two out of three falls. Tex Climer. another Camp White worker and Norval Stock- stir, of Talent will open the card at 8:30 in a special match of two five-minute rounds or one fall. George (Mickey) Shader, scout for the Cincinnati Reds, arrived in Medford with Mrs. Shader Saturday to make arrangements for the annual Cincinnati try out camp for young baseball players to be staged at the high school park Wednesday through Sun day of this week. , Shader emphasized that all players between 17 and 21 years of age were cordially invited to enroll in the free camp, regard less of whether they have filled In an enrollment blank. Play ers must furnish only their own gloves, shoes and uniform; the Reds will provide other equip ment, he said. Camp sessions, he stated, will be from 10 a. m. to about 1 p. m every day of the five-day camp, during whicr time reg ular nine-Inning games will be played and every youngster will be given an opportunity to show his wares. Those displaying enough class will be tendered contracts wlti one of the Cin cinnati farm teams. Mr. and Mrs. Shader are staying at the Hotel Medford. BUDGE NOW COACH rim Tin Mnv SO -IJPi Don Budge has called off pro fessional tennis lours zor me war'i duration and todav be came director of physical edu cation for the Embry-Riddle school of aviation. DRAFT Pendleton, May 30 VP) As surance that Oregon draft boards will cooperate with farm ers who face a labor shortage this year came from Col. E. V. Wooten, state selective service director, at a meeting with Uma tilla county growers this week. Washington, May 30 VP) The army has about decided it's time Private Joe Louis Barrow learned to fight more effective ly with rifle and bayonet as well as with his renowned fists. The heavyweight champion probably soon will be ordered transferred to a replacement training center or to some other cost to complete his basic mili tary training, it was learned au thoritatively. And at least until this military training is completed, there would be no ring appearances for any purposes but the army. The effect of the decision Is to rule out the plea by Promoter Mike Jacobs that the brown bomber be permitted to make a commercial appearance to raise money to. meet a SI 17.000 in come tax payment due June IS. In the approximately four months Louis has been officially enrolled as Private Barrow, he has fallen far behind the mili tary progress made by others who were inducted about the same time. They were given a routine but stiff course of basic training at replacement centers lasting 13 weeks. Pullman, May 30 OP) Tha Washington State college track team elected Pat Haley of Trail, B.
