Southern Oregon
Vs Pomanders
Slated At 8 P.M.
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.

Alhnnv rtrf. Mav 25 (U.R)

annual Oregon nign scnum
Diamond championships.

ed tourney action at 1:30 p.m. in

Favor Hog an
Texas Golf
Fort Worth. Tex.. 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.
