(International) MEDFORDTRIBDr n District Track Meet At Klamath Saturday The Medford high school track contingent heads for Kla math Falls Saturday with the purpose of qualifying a repre sentative team for defense of its state championship. Klamath Falls Saturday will be the scene of the A school dis trict meet. First and second place individuals will make the jaunt the following week-end to Corvallis for the state en counter. In the district ruckus Med ford will oppose trackmen from Grants Pass, Ashland, Klamath Falls, Crater, Illinois Valley and possibly Eagle Point. Medford is also defending district champ and, while the Tornado will be after that trophy again, its main dbjective will be to take as many first and second places In events as possible, with em phasis on the first. Competition Keen However, there are few events which Medford can be reason ably sure of nabbing. Compet ition has been keen this year and a few of the Tornado color bearers have been weakened by sickness or injury. It appeared today that at least three Medfordites who missed last week's engagement with Klamath will be in action this week-end. Don Spinas is recuperating from impacted wisdom teeth. He probably will miss the quarter mile Saturday but may get into a hurdles race. Ron Spinas has had the stitches removed from his thigh spike wound and seems all right for high jump and hurdle activity. Dave Newland, downed by the flu last week has been working at his pole vault specialty. Status Doubtful Status of Sprinter Dennis Dav is is doubtful. He appeared re covered from a charleyhorse but now has a touch of flu. All four of the foregoing youths are dependable point winners when physically at par. Medford will stake hopes on Ed Bingham who has been tops in the district in the javelin and high jump this season. Bill Red den of the Tornados will be among top contenders in the snints. He and Dave Talbot, Grants Pass, have, posted the best time in the 100-yard dash this year in the area, :10.2. Redden has the best time In the 220, :22.6. Duane Goodman and Frank Baize, Medford, are right behind with :22.8 and :22.9, respectively. All three will be pressed by Grants. Pass run ners. Grants Pass'Thrtat Newland will duel with Gary McFarland, Grants Pass in the pole vault, . Grants Pass looms as the main threat to Medford, having beat the Tornado in a dual meet, but Klamath, Ashland and Crater are figured to be strong in a number of events. Crater, which is up and com ing in track is expected to have a good-sized squad at the dis trict mix. One of their stand outs is Jim Halfhill who report edly toured the quarter-mile In :50.7 last week-end, NCAA Releases Survey Findings New York (U.R) The Na tional Collegiate Athletic associa tion, which soon will announce its 1952 football television plan, hinted at what it will be like by releasing a nation-wide sur vey Friday showing that the steady growth of TV has pro duced a steady drop in stadium attendance. The National Opinion Re search center of the University of Chicago made the survey. The 30-page report forms the basis for the football TV plan now being prepared by the NCAA television committee. Its contents indicate that TV sports fans will see a limited number of games next fall just as they did in 1051. Thorough Study The study was the most thor ough ever made of the "college football market" and Its three main findings were: , 1. Television does definite damage to college football at tendance. . 2. Attendance losses are much greater in TV-saturated areas than elsewhere. 3. The experimental "con trolled" television program of the NCAA in 1951 lessened such damage and checked attendance decreases. RACE HOPES DIMMED Chicago (U.R) Hopes that there would be any more racing at Sportsman's Park this season dimmed Friday after negotia tions between "striking" horse owners and track officials broke down. The last race of the season at the half-mile oval is scheduled for Saturday but the executive committee of the Horsemen s Benevolent Protective associa tion, which wants 50 per cent of the track's share of the mutuel handle paid in purses, indicated that no horses would be entered Oliver Leads In Golf Test White Sulphur Springs, W. Va. (U.R) -r. Record-breaking Ed Porky ' Oliver of Lemont, 111., held a three-stroke lead ov er favored Sammy Snead Fri day at the start of play in the second round of the Greenbrier Open Golf tournament. Oliver, veteran of many a links battle, played one of the most brilliant rounds of his career Thursday as he fired a nine-under-par' 61 in the first round to shatter the tournament record. Ntar Record Oliver's score, composed of nine par holes and nine birdies with nary a bogie In the lot, was only one stroke off the course record held by Snead. However, Snead, the home pro, did not shoot that 60 during a tournament. Snead, the defending champ Ion, shot a first round 64, six strokes under par, that ordin arily would have been good enough for first place. Surprise of the first round was dark horse Harry Dee of New City, N. Y., who shot a 65; while Doug Ford of Harrison. N. Y., and Dave Douglas of Newark, Del., tied for third place at 67. rr!d7.

Manager Ben Fagone said he feels the Millers will make a strong bid for the, pennant this year. He said his gang has ex perience and hustle and, with a few breaks, should be able to make the grade. Fagone is using local talent of Medford and Central Point with about a 50-50 representation of the two communities on the team. He will not announce his starting line-up until this eve ning at practice, - Bill Donahoe and Truman Brown have been battling for the catching job. Apparently on the inside track for infield posts are Joe Pizzuto, Dale Graham, Bob Fascl, Lloyd Johnson and Jack Burns. The outfield has been unsettled among Norm Hansen, Mel Anhorn, Ignats Clemmer, Bud Timmons, Herb Trautman and Fagone. On the pitching staff are Bill Matejka, Carl Huenors and Don Sanford. Hueners seems to have the edge because of experience, Mothers will be admitted free to the game Sunday.
