Jaclc McCoy
Wins Main
At Ashland
Ashland Although no first
places came their way, Medford
boys held their own staunchly
Saturday night at the Ashland
Rodeo grounds hard top races,
collecting 15 money places.
Competition was especially
fierce in the big program, which
aw the pits jammed with 47
entries and a number of late ar
rivals left back-firing outside
the pit gates.
Dick Imhausen, Medford,
turned in the fastest time trial
lap, 26.7, on the track which had
been heavily soaked to reduce
dust. Bob Kodat scored second
In his heat. Lehman, Hukill and
, Casey picked up fourth, sixth
and seventh in the rowdy main
event that saw only 8 cars sur
vive out of the 23 which started
the 20 laps. Bob Eadke pulled
a fourth in the semi-main, be
ing one of eight survivors in
that 18-car event.
McCoy Nabs Main
Jack McCoy, Klamath Falls,
swept firsts in both semi and
main events for top money of
the evening. Ted McCoy, Cen
tral Point, took his heat, then
out-fought Dick Mills, Grants
Pass, for the hot trophy dash,
to win the Rogue shop trophy.
Heartbreak hall of fame
found a new candidate in Monte
Hall, Ashland. Monte led the
pack for half of the main event.
Just as he crossed the line end
ing his eleventh lap he lost a
front wheel and spun into the
pits. Don Trombley, driving old
A-l under his own number,
A-22, also lost a front wheel,
and in doing so turned in one
of the most spectacular spills.
His nose dropped, dug in and
flipped him end over end.
Much of the night's action
took place directly in front of
the crowded stands, with the
crash wall taking another beat
ing. With pressure on for a big
mirs some rather reckless driv
ing strewed the track with dere
licts, but only one "rough tac
tics" disqualification was ruled.

Death Wipes
Out Hopes of
Dave Sands
By OSCAR FRALEY
New York - (U.R) - The l"
ic dream of handsome Dave
Sands was over Tuesday, spoiled
by a lonesome wife and a run
away truck.
' This yeari or next, the rugged
Australian might have realized
his ambition and become middle
weight champion of the world.
Plans were being made to have
him defend his British Empire
crown against Randy Turpin,
with the winner to challenge
Ray Robinson.
But those plans, which he
might have realized a year ago,
were wiped out when Sands died
Monday night as his truck overturned.
Fate thus cheated him of the
chance he had dreamed of since
his boyhood days on an Austral
ian sheep ranch. And it already
had received an assist from his
wife, whose pleas cut snori ms
trir. n tho TTnited States a year
ago when he might have fought
his way to the top.
You remember him as a square
shouldered, quiet man of 26,
whose black hair and beetle
brows' made him look like a min
iature Max Schmeling. He had
come to the United States seek
ing a shot at Robinson and he
made a fine start by beating
Bobo Olson at Chicago and flat
tening Henry Brimm in Buffalo.
Baby Sick
Then the trans-Atlantic tele
phone calls started.
"It's my wife," he explained.
"She says the baby is sick and
I should come home. There's
nothing wrong with the baby.
She's just lonely."
The calls kept coming and
Sands, a deep frown furrowing
his bulging forehead, said with
that usual brevity:
"It worries me."
So he went home.
