The cars are especially con structed to absorb the hard knocks they take in heatedly contested races on small tracks and the construction is also aim ed at protection of the drivers. There is speed, spills and thrills with safety, according to pro moters. Hardtop races are planned ev ery Friday night at the posse grounds. Vets Pace State Net Tournament Portland (U.R) The veterans continued to set the pace in the 54th annual Oregon state ten nis tournament Thursday, but Wednesday's heat gave a couple of the favorites real scares. Emery Neale, defending cham pion and six times king of the state's racquetmen, fought from behind to overcome Jack Neer 5-7, 6-3, 6-1. Third seeded Jim Brink also dropped a set before he over came University of Oregon's Bill Rose, 6-3, 5-7, 6-2. The victories put Neale and Brink 'into the quarter finals along with top-seeded Jerry De- Witt of San Francisco and fourth-seeded Linn Rockwood of Salt Lake City. DeWitt Wins Twice DeWitt outlasted Harvey. Kin of Portland, 8-6, 6-1 and downed tough Clyde Baker of Salt Lake City, 6-1, 6-4. Rockwood bested veteran Sam Lee by default ait er winning the first set 6-3. Hugh Findlay and Clyde Knox, both of Portland; Hers- chel Hyde of Berkeley, Calif the nation's third-ranking jun ior player, and Paul Willey of Vancouver. B.C. also reacnea the auarter finals. In women's play, June Lee, wife of Sam Lee, did better than her husband by reaching the semi-finals with a 7-5, 6-. victory over Elizabeth Loeck of San Francisco. The rest of the women's field is further down the ladder. Softball Friday At Central Point Central Point A top softball attraction is scheduled here on Friday.

Tied with Coos Bay-North Bend in second place with seven wins and five losses, the Studs are now three games behind the front running Black' Sox, who have a 10 and 2 record. Med ford by sweeping the series can climb to within one game of the Sox. Then they'll hope that some other team can help by spilling Drain, too. Drain presents a potent line up with such ex-Coast leaguers as Roy Helser and Harvey Storey. The Sox with all their power topped Medford twice in the opening series of the season. However, the Studs feel that chances are good for victory this time. Their hope stems irom a pair of recent victories over Coos Bay which swept a series from Drain. Davids Coming While Medford won't see league action at home until July 27 against Coquille, a couple of games with traveling teams will be played at the fairgrounds will be contested to fill the gap The Studs play the House of David on Tuesday, July 15, and the Havana Cubans, a colored nine, on Friday, July 18. The House of David nine headed by Manager George An derson is a well-known attrac tion to Medford sports fans. David teams have been touring the country for 32 years. They have played in every state in the nation, in Mexico, in all Canadian provinces, in the Ha waiian islands and in Alaska. Anderson has been with the club since 1928. A schedule of 160 games per year is averaged by the bewhis kered baseballers and their win ning average over a 30-year period is .738.

Rubber Welders Rogue River, Oregon Sport Parade Over the Atlantic (U.R) It's calm and peaceful up here and it makes you wish you could take some of it along for the Olympic Games in Finland Usually, the Olympics can use a bit of serenity. And when the lads get to bouncing the ball up against the iron wall which runs along the border between Fin land and Russia there isn't like ly to be an exception. For an event which was aim ed . at promoting international amity, the Olympics have pro duced more antagonistic action that a Killarney fair with some of the best contests ignored in the record books. Enmity in stead of amity too often has been the winner. Frenchman Starter Baron Pierre de Coubertin, an idealistic Frenchman, started this business which today is tak ing athletes from all over the world on an odyssey to Scand inavia. The good baron set the wheels in action at Athens in 1896 and fractured feelings have been splinted hastily ever since. The first real rhubarb, as rugged disagreements are term ed in Brooklyn, occurred in the second modern Olympiad at Par is in 1900. The French, awed by American track and field power, : acceded to a Yankee re quest that the games not be held on Sunday. Then, with most of the Americans sightsee ing, they started as per sched ule. 1908 Games Violent One of the best donnybrooks came up in the 1908 games at London, which were so violent that they since have become famed as "The Battle of Shep herds Bush." The Swedes and Americans were miffed because their flags were left out of the pre-games parade, the Finns squabbld with the Russians and the Irish battled the British. As the host, Britain was ac cused of several "home" de- decisions and the lid blew off when Dorando Pietri, an Ital ian, was helped across the fin ish line in the marathon. At Amsterdam in 1928 the only incident occurred when the French team was kept out by a gateman and the Finns avoided trouble at the portals by simply scaling the wall. Classic Answer Then came the classic answer of flying feet to Nazi arrogance at Berlin in 1936. Those were the days when Hitler was boast ing of Aryan supremacy, and was embarrassed as non-Aryan Archie Williams, Cornelius Johnson and John Woodruff left Southern Oregon Junior Baseball The Medford pee wees defeat ed Jacksonville 12 to 9 Wednes day in a Southern Oregon Jun ior Baseball league scramble.

There is a feeling this time that the Reds, and not the ones from Cincinnati, are out to prove a supremacy of sorts. The theory is that it would be fine political propaganda. With the site practically in their own par lor, it could be downright inter esting. Yes, some of this peace and calm might come in right handy. Grid Greats To Contend ' At Portland Portland Not only will the Los Angeles Rams, world's pro fessional football champions, present a coterie of gridiron stars when they appear here at Multnomah stadium August 30, but their opponents, the Chi cago Cardinals, also will put some of the sport's greats on the field. The Chicago team will go forth under a new coach, Joe Kuharich, who led San Fran cisco to national recognition last year. His AU-American,ace, Ol lie Matson, may make his pro football debut in the game after he returns from the Olympic Games. Heading the list of the Chi cago notables is Charley Trippi, the Georgia ail-American. Trip pi, moved to quarterback last year, fared as well at that posi tion as he did at halfback in previous seasons. Although he guided the club as T-formation quarterback, he was still the Cards' leading ground gainer. Frank Tripucka, anotherlquar- terback ace, is one of several Notre Dame stars playing with the Cardinals. Others are Emil "Six-Yard" Sitko, halfback; Jer ry Groom, center; and Bill Fischer, guard. All were all Americans at Notre Dame. Open at San Francisco Then the Chicagoans also boast of such performers as Tommy Karras, hero of the Illi nois victory in the Rose Bowl last January; Cliff Anderson, In diana end who set new pass re ceiving records in the Big Ten; Fran Polsfoot, Washington State end who was one of the best in the National Football league last year; and Harold Lutz, Alabama end and star place kicker. The Chicago team will open its non-chmpionship schedule in San Francisco against the Forty- Niners a week prior to the local engagement. The Cardinals will arrived in Portland a week ahead of the game and will practice daily here before the public. Harry Glickman, president of Oregon Sports Attractions, re ports that mail orders are ac counting for sizable blocks of tickets each day. He has urged fans to secure reservations by sending check or money order to Oregon Sports Attractions in the Dekum Building.

Coast Cycle Title Races On Sunday Portland Motorcycle racing experts are now predicting a new track record in the $2500 25-Mile Pacific coast champion ship faces to be held at Portland Meadows Sunday, July 13. The racing strip at The Rose City oval is hard packed by many weeks of thoroughbred racing and with it's wide banked turns it is ready made for the blazing speeds developed in 'cy cle racing. Tom Boden, represenative and referee for the American Motor cycle association inspected the track Saturday and pronounced it to be in perfect condition for racing. "With a little scraping and watering it will be lightning fast and I would not be surprised to see a new national record set here next Sunday," said the rac ing official. Harder, Faster The track will be harder and faster than it was in 1950 when Larry Hedricks narrowly missed setting a new record when he won the Pacific coast title for that year. Another factor favorable to the setting of a new speed mark is that this year's races are at tracting more of the nations lead ing riders than ever before. Better than 150 of the nation's outstanding motorbike riders from all parts of the country are expected to be on hand. Time trials for the races have been set for 9 a.m. with the races proper scheduled to get un der way at 1:30 p.m. Tickets are on sale at all mo torcycle dealers in the Portland area. I 117 S.

That was the report of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Barnes, Med ford. who fished there on Mon day. They said that all boats fish ing in the "jaws" that day got their limits. About 20 boats were at the mouth. The river was thick with fish, Mrs. Barnes stated. The couple and a number of other upper Rogue residents ware at the mouth for holiday boat races and carried off a good share of honors. They said that the regatta was a memorial event, honoring Vance Scott, Gold Beach re sort owner killed in a plane crash last year. Proceeds went toward a boat and other life saving equipment to be used at the river mouth.
