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.

League Again
BY UNITED PRESS
The Northern division base
ball circuit had a new leader for
the third time in as many days
Friday as Oregon State climbed
back on top of the standings.
The Beavers whipped Wash
ington, 6-2, Thursday, while
Oregon's scheduled game with
Idaho at Moscow was rained out.
Welman Credited
Credit for the OSC victory
went to Norm Wellman, who
chalked up his third straight di
vision win. He was In hot water
several times, but managed to
wriggle out.
The Beavers won the game
with a three-run outburst in the
second inning on three singles,
an error and an outfield fly.

AT THE
TRIANGLE LOT - JACKSON AND RIVERSIDE
BACK OF THE ARMORY
HERE'S WHY
For several years I have been working for other
people and at last decided that if I could give cars
away for them, I could do it for myself. It is very
easy for me to save you money on good Used Cars
because my policy is to eliminate unnecessary
profit.
If you are in the market for any sort of a used car
or pickup drop in. If I don't have it I can find it for
you . . . and at a price you can afford!
Thanks to all you folks that have bought cars from
me in the past, and I hope that when you want to
trade again, you will come and see
Walker the Weeper.
UP TO 30 MONTHS TO PAY
Yep, now you can buy that late, model '51 or '52 without being a millionaire
