Snead bad a total of 286, four better than Burke's second place 290, Spit Into Channel Officially Declares Dover, England (U.R) John Burwill emersed from his little house snuggled against the White Cliffs, walked down to the water's edge and spat into the English Channel. With this brief ceremony the channel swimming training sea son was declared officially open. "Yep,"' said the ancient ma riner who has piloted more chan nel swimmers than any man in history, "yep, I expect this will be a big year although the water Is apt to be a bit cold. But I predict a big change in swim ming direction. "It used to be that everyone swam from France to England what they call the easy route, of the conference was "almost New Basketball League Planned Chicago (U.R) Represent atives of seven Midwest colleges returned to their schools Thurs day with tentative plans for a new basketball conference. The group met Wednesday to map details for the proposed con ference and they planned an other meeting within 10 days. . Meanwhile the representatives will seek approval of the terms of their plan by the athletic boards of their schools. Athletic directors and faculty members from Loyola, DePaul, Bradley, Butler, Marquette, Louisville and Notre Dame. A spokesman said formation Wakefield Comeback Gets Encouraging Start Tulsa, Okla. (U.R) Dick Wakefield's "last-chance come back" with the New York Giants was off to an encouraging start. The one-time $52,000 bonus beauty, often described as one of the most talented and least ambitious players of his age, made his debut with the Giants by hammering a pinch-hit double in the sixth inning of their game with the Cleveland Indians Wednesday. Manager Leo Durocher said he would try Wakefield in left field, then in right, "and just move him around and look him over." Medford Baseballers 1st Loop Fray Friday Medford high school's baseball nine opens its district No. 6 A-l campaign Friday on its home field. The Black Tornado takes on Klamath Falls at 3:15 p.m. , There will be an admission charge to the game. Medford will be launching what amounts to a district title defense. Last year the Tornado was champion of a district made up of four large Class A high schools and five small Class A schools and went to the state tourney. This year the large and small A schools in this area are in separate districts. The champs of the two districts will play-off for a state tourney berth. Klamath Falls and Grants Pass are the only . other schools in Medford's district this season. Medford will go into the Fri day contest as favorite.

From now on I feel most swim mers will try the hard way- England to France," he said. Burwill's optimism reflected the buoyancy of this channel port's unique industry despite last summer's near-death blow, when 18 people swam the chan nel in a single day, pilots, boat men, grease sellers, dieticians and others who had been thriv ing on channel aspirants saw the end of an era. Feat Mad Race "But after thinking it over all winter," Burwill said, "we've decided that all it did was take the France-to-England swim out of the class of a feat and make it a race. We think lots of people will come over just to try to lower the record of the Egyptian Hamad who crossed in 12 hours and 12 minutes. "The England to France swim, tougher because of the rough tides, is still a feat, however. Only a handful of people have done it." "Besides," he added even more cheerfully, "if you were the kind of man or woman who wanted to swim the channel you wouldn't be satisfied until you have done it both ways." Burwill already has been ap proached to act as pilot for half a dozen aspirants. Before com mitting himself he is waiting word from Florence Chadwick of San Diego, Calif., whose wom en's France to England record of 13 hours and 20 minutes was beaten last year by Britain's burly, blonde Brenda Fisher in 12 hours and 42 minutes. "Florence swam on a bad day," Burwill said, "and she wants to recapture the record for the United States." TROUT RECORD GOOD Chattanooga, Tenn. (U.R) Veteran Dizzy Trout, slower but still as resourceful a pitcher as there is, seemed certain to rotate effectively as one of the Detroit Tigers' starting four. Trout made his spring record 4-0 Wednesday as he pitched seven innings in Detroit s 9-3 victory over Chat tanooga. Pass which has lost twice to Medford. Only one of the Grants Pass-Klamath tussles counted In district play. This year's Klamath crew Is built around four lettermen. Top returnees are Ron Owings. third baseman, and George Hanson, first base. The others are Ralph Carroll, pitcher, and Kenny Young, catcher. The Pels have yet to hit the win column. They have lost twice to Redding. Calif., in addition to Grants Pass. Either Carroll or Freddy Fie del will be starting chucker for the Pelicans here. Derald Wooton is scheduled to pitch for Medford. There was some doubt today as to whether Medford Second Baseman Curt Holzgang will be able to play. He was hit in the head by a thrown ball last night and was resting at home today. , Th-ndey.

"But if that falls throuc. we'll give the fight to Jake." said Norris. . The 29-year-old Bronx Bull, who is anxious for a shot at either Maxim or Robinson, was elated by hi lam-bang win over 20-year-old Hayes at the Olym pic. LaMotta showed flashes of old power against Hayes, five pounds lighter and eicht years younrrr. but he couldn't put the Boston boxer on the canvas. Stendy body punches weak ened Hayes in the early round and he never recovered. He fought in flurries in the closing seconds of each round as he did when he beat LaMotta January 28. But this time Jake matched him blow for blow and got In enough extra punches to gain an easy verdict.
