Fanfare
'-"A" good share of the Medford
fiigh school Black Tornado's suc
cess in track" and field and the
success borders on the fabulous
in Oregon prep circles stems
from Coach Bob Newland's per
sistent quest for better ways to
train Medford athletes and for
better methods to help them
achieve more speed, height or
distance. - -'-
Part of this search is accomp
lished through letters of inquiry
to famous coaches and athletes.
The latest star whom Newland
has queried and from whom he
has received a reply is John
Landy, of Melbourne, Australia,
who last year ran the world's
fastest mile and who was the
second man in history to run the
mile in under four minutes. :.
Newland asked Landy forjn
formation on how he has train
ed. The Australian received the
letter while on a hiking trip and
wrote Newland that he would
send the info " when he re
turned. -
Landy told Newland that he
has had no experience training
young boys but would gladly
pass along what he has learned
through his actual running ex
perience. The great miler sent
along his wishes to the Black
Tornado for another successful
season. Landy considers the 440
yard run a sprint and the half
mile and mile middle distances,
Newland reported.' '
USED HOLMER METHODS
Medford high milers last :
year used training procedures
prescribed by Gosia Holmex,
-Swedish Olympic coach," who
originated the training meth-;
ods presently used ' by - Euro
pean and world distance men.
NOT A SIN. '
Last spring we heard some
rumbling which made it seem
like a sin for a coach to seek but
the masters and profit from their
knowledge. We don't agree with
that line of reasoning. Increas
ed knowledge and know-how are
essences of success. They foster
'improvement. More- power rib
Bob and if possible stronger
Black Tornados. Bob reports
that the champions are 'glad to
pass along what they've learned.
Other coaches can also take ad
vantage of the opportunity. ;

ton, a pair of basketball teams
that at one time had some ideas
about making a pretty strong
bid for the 1955 Northern Divi
sion championship, tangle Fri
day and Saturday at . McArthur
Court in a Dad's Week end se
ries which could prove very im
portant to each club. .
Washington's Huskies, rated
as a serious challenger for the
title before the season opened,
had their aspirations shaken in
single upsets by Washington
State and Idaho and then suf
fered the final blow when Ore
gon State swept throuh four
games. .' '. ' .
: Oregon, on the other hand,
was rated as an also-ran before
it caught fire in January to win
fi vestraight conference games,
Oregon State then put the damp
er on the Webfoot hopes with
a pair of air tight decisions! The
Ducks still have a chance in the
mathamatician's book, but in
reality the hopes ; are slim at
best. - , . "" :'
Hence, the Ducks and the
Huskies will be out to make
the best of a bad situation and
Oregon's hopes of cementing its
current hold on second place
will : depend on its ability to
whip the Huskies this week end.
-Washington, on the other hand,
needs some victories soon J;o es

they dropped back into second
place when Crater won the fol
lowing night. ' "
- This week r end the . Pirates
take on the cellarite Illinois Val

split with IV in the first, round
but Coach Jack Woodward feels
that Phoenix has shown "real
improvement" in the last two
weeks. Phoenix passing and ball
handling has improved since the
last Cougar meeting.

was further in evidence in work
outs this week. "I think the boys
are ready to play some more
good ball," Woodward reported.

den, Jim Korth, Ron Vreeken,
Charles Wall and Ray Dahl. Ron
Bean who suffered a. shoulder
separation in the first IV meet
ing, began practice again Wed
nesday night. Woodward said
that Bean may see some action
on Saturday night.
'Eagle Point, . with ; all its
horses back after a long battle
with injuries, is expected to give
Crater some rugged opposition
this week. If the Eagles can take
a pair of wins from the Comets
and if Phoenix can nab two vic
tories from Illinois Valley, the
Pirates will vault into the loop
lead. . " ..; ' i ; .
Stock of the Eagles, took . a
considerable , boom this week

been doing admirably despite
the handicap of a brace on a
bad knee. Nelson and Reich
have had hand ailments. One or

The Eagles were preconfer
