What has become next to the Rogue relays the biggest high school track event in southern Oregon will be seen Saturday night at the Medford high field when four schools in southern Oregon meet the top talent from Portland's high schools under the lights. The Portlanders won 68 16 to 61 56 last year and in 1948 the southern Oregonians were behind 68 to 64. All but the iavelin and dis cuss events will be run off in the competition with these two being only exhibitions. They will not count in making DOints. Events will get underway at 8 p.m. and will be run off as rapidly as possible, Lee Rags- dale said. Ten From Msdford Ten of those taking part in the third annual Southern Ore gon vs. Portland district track meet will be from Medford high. All won first, second or third in the district meet, One of the big highlights from spectator standpoint should be the attempt by Jack Morris of the Black Tornado to break the national high school record for the low hurdles. In the state meet he went the distance 22.4s or .3s faster than the recognized U, S. record. Warren Wendt is another local boy who may bare watching as he cleared 12 feet in the state meet while a year ago he made it but 10 ft. 6 in. in the inter-district meet. DUcum Exhibition An Ashland youth in the per son of Jerry Langer, Jerry Schu bert of Klamath and Marshall Ferg of Medford will be seen in the discus exhibition with Lan ger winning first in the state meet. The javelin exhibition will put D. C. Mills of the Tornado who finished third in the state meet with a heave of 168 ft. throwing with Smith of Ashland nd Don Vincent of Medford. Competition for points be tween the two districts will be in the 100-yard dash, shot put, high hurdles, 440-yard run, mile, low hurdles, 220-yard run, broad Jump, pole vault, high Jump, 880 yard run and 880-yard relay. Medford's relay team consist ing of Jack Morris, Lou Bittle, Bill Buckingham and Bill Pruitt insists that it may still crack the state record which it tried to do at the state meet in Cor vallis. In the district meet this foursome equaled the state relay mark. Morris Faces Test Jack Morris in the low hurdles , SffKTTS High School Baseball Tourney Opens Today Alhnnv rtrf.

May 25iU.P) Ben Hogan was the favorite and Pete Cooper the dark-horse to day as a select field of 35 pro fessionals and one amateur teed off in the opening round of the colonial national invitation golf tournament. Hogan, of course, was the sen timental choice because this is his home town, but his brilliant comeback from the near fatal auto wreck of 16 months ago also stamped him as the "solid man." Hanked right behind him were Byron Nelson, who also got his start in Fort Worth; Jimmy Demaret and Sammy Snead. Also shooting for the top prize of $3,000 was U. S. Open Cham pion Cary Middlecoff of Mem phis, Tenn., and little Norman Von Nida of Australia. Cooper of Ponte Verda, Fla., loomed as a threat after firing a four-under-par 66 in a practice round. not only will be seeking to break the national record but is ex pected to have the stiffest of competition from Anderson (Roo sevelt) of Portland who was sec ond to the Tornado boy in the state meet. Fans attending the meet will enter and sit in the new or east side grandstand. Admission will be charged. Ragsdale today pointed out that 1,500 or more people are needed to make the inter-district meet a financial success. He said that the cost of bringing the Portland boys here and for their rooms and meals pushes the cost up most.
