Rain Slowed Track A slow track due lo the heavy rain of Friday night can celled many possibilities of new district records and bettering of state marks although the Medford 880-rclay team equaled the state record and did top the district mark also. This four-man team consist ing of Bill Buckingham, Bill Pruitt, Lou Bittle and Jack Morris ran the distance in lm 31.2s compared with .the pre vious district record of lm 31.8s. Yesterday's mark also equaled the state record set by Medford last year at Cor vallls. , . . , Jack Morris and his brother Frank were both bothered by bad leg muscles and that too may have helped prevent any new records for this pair. Local Boy Listed . Medford s eight boys who will take part in the state meet at Corvallis next week-end are Roger Hobbs, Bittle, Jack and Frank Morris, D. C. Mills, Bill Buckingham. Bill Pruitt and Warren Wendt.
