EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE rrlday. March 24. 1950 To Compete Satfwday Medford high'i first track meet of the 1950 season will be held Saturday starting at 2 p. m. on the local football turf when the Black Tornado meets the Grants Puss Cavemen in a "short dis tance" meet. Medford is defend ing state champion among class A Inch schools. What "short distance" means is that such events as the 100 and other running competition will be shortened. The 100 will be come a 75-yard race, the 220 will be 150 yards and so on. Only the field events will be the same is usual. Coaches Bob Newland, Lee Ragsdale and Fred Spiegelberg are not saying too much as yet about the Tornado' 1950 pros pects to repeat as a state cham pion. Medford lost three out standing athletes in Loren Car ter, Rich Riggs and Jerry Mc Grew through 1949 graduation. Newland once said that this trio among them was good for 20 points with individual and relav competition. The Tornado has a large num u.. i hnv. nut for some events. In fact many more than has been the case in recent years. Just who will be the best still is a matter of time as the cool weath er and rain of the last few weeks has not allowed the boys to open UPit is unlikely.'for instance, that Jack Morris will be at h i best Saturday aRainst the Grant Pass in this meet that will count noth ing toward a championship but will give the coaches an opportu nity to valuate the youths as to their respective ability. The older Morns boy being ilv muscled than some of the other youths takes a bit longer to "loosen up. His brother Frank probably will be in trim more tnan jacn. v on much is known nere about the Caveman's track pros- iitti nas Deen uunc thori. in that athletic en deavor due to the Grants Pass basketball team taking up most of their time.

The grappler has been a sen sation all over the country and currently the biggest draw ing card in the northwest, Lit- lard reported. An opponent was unnamed but it was indicated that Frank Stojack would get the bid as result of the finale of last night's triple main event. Stojack took the match when his adversary, Georges Dusette, was disabled by a painful back injury. The two opened their en gagement in rough and tumble style. Hoists Duietle Up Stojack hoisted the French man to his shoulders and Dusette probably would have been much better off had he submitted to the intended airplane whirl. However, Dusette grabbed the ropes, somehow wriggled free and clamped his favorite full nelson on the Tacoman. The t thus locked, tumbled over the hopes, Stojack landing on top of Dusette whose back whacked the edge of the apron. The airplane spin artist climb ed groggily into the ring to claim the one and only fall. Dusette was toted to the dressing room. In the middle event Tough Tony Ross, Salem meanie, gain ed two out of three spills from Charlie Carr. Ross nabbed the first fall with a toe hold and leg stomp and Carr the second with a Boston crab. A body press, aft er butts by Carr backfired, earn ed Ross the final tumble. Starter a Draw In the starter Danno McDonald. Canadian scrapper, and Lee Grable, Los Angeles, went the full 45-minute route to a draw. McDonald got one fall with a dropklck and body press and Grable grabbed the evener with an abdominal stretch afler Mc Donald missed a dropkick third man other two. in the ring for the Junior High Softball Team Issues Challenge A Softball team made up of boys going to Medford junior high school today issued a chal lenge to any other Softball team made up of boys IS years old or younger, to play a gama at a time and place to be de cided later.
