tory of the local high school an
athlete's number will hereafter
be seen only in the showcase at
Medford high.

J. Morris
when President Leo Parker of
Ihe Order of M at the school an
nounced that the jersey worn by
Jack Morris throughout his ath
letic career at Medford high will
be put on show in a case rather
than on gome athlete's broad
back.
Star In 3 Sports
The Order of M decided to con
fer the honor on the popular
Morris youth who has been out
standing on the athletic field
from the time he entered Med
ford h gh. He has starred In foot
ball, track and basketball and has
several state records on tne cin
der paths.
He has been named on all
Southern Oregon conference
football and basketball teams for
two years. For two seasons he
often was co-captain or captain
by himself in these sports.
Jack Morris showed outstand
ing ability in .ill tiiree sports
from the time he entered as a
sophomore. His sophomore year
toward the end of the gridiron
year Morris made local fang' and
opponents' eyes bulge out with
his running feats, lor instance.
Team Man All Way
Never a youth for monopoliz
ing the limelight or the praise,
the boy was a team man from
the start, knowing that in any
sport such as football and basket
ball in particular, one needs a
team to make the touchdowns or
the baskets, not just one person
who is a star.
Many believe Jack Morris
would have been an all-conference
or better in baseball had he
chosen that sport.
Rules for Awarding
A set of rules to govern fu
ture "retiring'' of jersies andor
numerals at Medford high has
been dran up by a committee
from the Order of M and these
will be posted in the showcase
along with the jersey used by
Morris.
Setting up the rules were Bob
Shores, Parker and Ted Ruben
stein of the club.
Announcement of this action
bv the Order of M was made
Monday at an award assembly in
the high school when U tters and
other athletic achievement
awards were presented.

Parsons Wins
Indianapolis
Indianapolis, Ind.. May 31
(U.R) The rain cheated Johnny
Parsons of some S6.200, but the
31-vear-old menace of the mid
gets still beamed a smile of vic
tory today after his Iirst place
finish in the abbreviated
Memorial day Speedway auto
mobile race.
The rain snapped off the
race at the 34.vinile point, al-
though it is normally a aOu-milc
tee.st of war and courage. Far
sons was leading at the time and
so he was declared the winner.
But had the rain held off 9(1
more minutes then the lront
running Parsons probably would
have won anyway and had an
extra S6.200 in lap money to go
with the $31,500 he won any
way. Parsons, heretofore noted in
race driving circles for his
speed in midget cars, was going
away when the checkered finish
flag was waved in front of him.
And hardly one of the esti
mated 175.000 spectators believ
ed that either of his major
rivals. 1949 winner Bill Holland,
or triple winner Mauri Rose,
could catch up in the final 62
laps.

Winner Tuesday
New York, May 31 (U.R)
Trainer J. H, (Casey) Hayes re
ported today "there is nothing
wrong with Hill Prince," and
said he still planned to start the
bob-tailed bay in the forthcom
ing Belmont stakes.
Hill Prince, the current cham
pion of the three-year-old divi
sion, stepped out of his class yes
terday and was beaten in the
Suburban handicap at Belmont
park. What's worse, he seemed
to be bleeding at the nose fol
lowing the race. But Hayes re
fused to become alarmed.
"He probably inhaled some
dust or dirt," Hayes said, "and
this caused him to cough. He
didn't actually bleed."
