yr p w s Fanfare From all indications the Ore gon Open Golf tourney held at Rogue Valley Country club was a whale of success both compet itively and socially. Not only was it the biggest Oregon open in history but there was consid erable opinion that it was the best. And the fine caliber of competition and Rogue Valley hospitality made it so. The field grew so big that the tourney committee had to reluctantly close the entries to keep it from being too big . Remarks of Joe Greer, Yaki ma, Wash., professional, were typical of many comments made. Greer won top money In the tourney. But he stated that his long trip to Medford would have been worthwhile even if he hadn't picked up the cash, because of the good time he had. COMMITTEES PRAISED Rust Heysell, chairman of lh open for the host club, praised his committees and Iheir -chairmen for an excel lent job. He said thai he felt that the lourney was run off very well and pointed out that the starling committee, under chairmanship of Joe Hearin, was never one minute late. Russ himself should get a hand. SPIRITS UNDAMPENED There were more cars at the country club during the final day of the tourney than this department has noted for any previous links action here. Total gallery for Sunday's action has been listed at as high as 1,000. Links fans, most of them fol lowing the threesome of Bruce Cudd, George Bazzini and Ed die Simmons, stuck it out de spite showers that pattered down in the afternoon. Many gaily colored umbrellas made a col orful scene despite the rain. HARRINGTON GETS HIS 300 George Harrington, both playing in the lourney and handling his RVCC manager ial chores as well, aimed lo hoot a 300 card or belter and his 300 on the nose for fifth spot among amateur partici pants. He has been rewarded for his efforts by an expenses paid trip to Las Vegas, Nev., where the Champion of Cham pions tourney will be held in April. Mrs. Harrington goes along. EXPLANATION .. Last week this column men tioned that Mike Moran, Eu gene, was listed in the Oregon Class A high school basketball tournament record book as the player with the top field goaling average for one game with his .833 although Jerry Kalapus, Medford, had a mark of .888. While no explanation had been solicited by this department omeone must have inquired, lor an explanatory letter has arrived from Art Litchman, Uni versity of Oregon athletic news director. Art, who with his aides compiled the fine book, said that the percentage marks were de termined on a minimum of 10 tries in a game and 40 for the tournament. "We felt this was ' only fair to eliminate those players who shot very rarely," he reported. Kalapus's mark was on the bails of eight cut of nine at tempts while Moran's was 10 out of 12. Litchman stated that the line calling attention to the 10 and 40 minimums was dropped off in the legend. BINGHAM THROWS 199 FEET Ed Bingham, ex-Medford high, hurled the javelin 199 feet 3V2 inches for University of Oregon last week end in a track meet against Willam ette university. Bingham, now a college sophomore, was prep All-American in 1953. His heave for Medford of 192-11 was listed as best in the country that year. In the same meet with Wil lamette, Jim Bailey, Austral ian teammate of Bingham's, ran the 1.320-yard distance in 3.07.4. just :09.2 short of Wes Sanlee's American AAU mark of 2:53.2. CHEZ IN GERMANY Pfc. Fred E. Chez, ex-Medford high school athlete and Stan ford university graduate, is as signed to Headquarters comp , any, 97 Signal Battalion at Pan zer Kaserne, Boeblingen, Ger many. Several thousand copies of ir search rescue instructions have been received by the Jackson county sheriff's office.

EBtfD WILEMCfi COMMERCIAL LEAGUE With the end of the third posi tion night, in which the teams have to bo-vl the team next in standing, the entire top of the Commercial bowling league standings changed. The Mail Tribune, in top spot last week, had to bowl the runner-up Alex ander and Brown Insurancemen. A and B took a 4-0 series and top spot. The 2590 of the news men was not enough to top the 2691 by A and B. The other battle, with C and C Loggers meeting Crater Lake Motormen, drove the latter into fifth place and put the Loggers into sec ond. Joe Cabler was again the big gun for the Loggers. Among the rest of the posi tion battles, Darling Real Estate took a 4-0 from Bates and climb ed into fourth. Valentine Cafe went ahead of the Table Rock Lumber with their 3-1 series over the ' Lumbermen. Beck's Bakery took a 3-1 series from the Domestic Laundry, who bowled with only three men present. Chuck Shinn had a nice 510 to aid the Breadmen. In the battle to see who would ride the bottom rung, Quality Market won by losing a 3-1 ser ies to First National bank. This was the best that the Bankers have been able to do for the last seven weeks. The Bankers had to come from behind after Duane Lubbers got a 243 game and Loyd Huston added 206. Then the "fire went out," and the Bankers took total pins by the last few frames of the third game. Larry Clark was the heavy bowler for the Bankers with 222 and 532.
