Annual Bogus Valley Relays Here on Saturday I Friday, April 8. 1955 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINK Squad of 31 To Defend For Tornado STARTING TIMES: 1:30 p m. Pole vault, discus, broad JumD relay, shot put relav. 2:00 p.m. 440-vard relay. 2:15 p m. 2-mile relay. 2.30 p.m. HiEh jump relay, javelin 2 35 p.m. 880-yard relay. 2:50 p.m. Distance merilev. 3 20 p.m. Shuttle hurdles. 3.33'p.m. Mile relay. A 31-man squad including al ternates has been named by Coach Bob Newland to defend Medford high's prestige as state track champion in the 16th an nual Rogue Valley , relays on Saturday. The meet, Medford's "big one in its own stadium this season, will get underway at 1:30 p.m. when four field events start Guests of the defending relay champions for the meet will be five other schools, Marshfield of Coos Eay, Crater, Ashland, Grants Pass and Klamath Falls, Grants Pass and Marshfield are expected to provide the ma jor opposition for the Black Tornado. Although Newland has his meet squad listed in black and white, he put a tentative label on the sheet. Flu has weakened a number of key performers and unless they are fairly well re covered the Tornado will be hurt. And, there's the possibility others may be victim of the virus. Clark Quits School Bob . Gould, a sprinter, was the latest to yield to the "bug." Bud Kastner, Wilcie Winchell, Ken Tucker and Dennis Miller were listed yesterday as among those under the weather. Doug Clark, a top high jumper, was also on the list but Newland's latest report is that Clark has quit school. If the Tornado thinclads are sufficiently over their ills by to morrow, Medford is expected to be strong in most of the flat races and possibly in the shot put and javelin. Grants Pass is expected to give the Tornado strong competition on the track and is a favorite in the shuttle hurdles. Grants Pass looms as the team to beat in the pole vault and javelin, which, however, along with the javelin, won't count so much as the actual re lays. Marshfield is almost in the category of an unknown quan tity and quality but reports are that the Pirates are stronger than ever this season. Ashland may be tough in the sprint re days and Klamath could surprise in the sprint and distance events. Crater is figured capable of pick ing up a good number of points. Runners, jumpers, putters, throwers and vaulters are ex pected to have to go some to bet ter existing records of the meet. None of the marks is older than 1950. Grants Pass set a standard of 8:25 in the two-mile relay that season and the next oldest rec ord is Medford's 3:33.3 in the mile event of 1951. Medford set a new mark of 11:20 in the distance medley last season and two of those perform ers, Les Walch and Glen Allison are back. They will team with Johnny Foust and Jeff Williams this year. Tomorrow's session also will be the debut for Medford in a meet in which scores are kept. With more action it will be a more interesting type of contest than a regular track meet. In the 440-yard relay four men of each school will run 110 yards apiece, in the 880 each runner will go 220 and in the mile each will run a quarter-mile. Each member of the team will go a half-mile in the two mile relay Participants will run a quarter mile, a half-mile,, three-fourths of a mile and a mile, respective ly, in the distance medley. Three men each will run 120 for each school, crossing five low hurdles in the shuttle race. The three top marks out of four for each school will be add ed for total distance and height in the shot put, broad jump and high jump relays. Pole vault, dis cus and javelin will be individ ual events but with only the best efforts for each school to count in the scoring. For the schools involved the meet will serve as a tuneup and test for the annual Hayward re lays next week end in Eugene. Southern Oregon schools gener ally are at the top or near the top in the Haywards and the rest of the state will-be, watching for the results of the Rogue tussle to judge their chance in the Eugene event.

Malams and Hamlin ran 110 yards each and Warner and Rus sell 220 apiece in the medley while in the relay of the same total distance each.1 boy ran 165. Other Medford victory was in the highjump relay. Grants Pass nabbed the broad jump, shot put, 440-yarder, dis tance medley, distance relay and the shuttle hurdles. Brauner's toss of 128 feet, 6 inches in the javelin was second behind Boldenow's winning 128 7 but only the best effort per school counted in the scoring. Same was true' in the pole vault where Phil Reeves' 9-9 was third behind Cherry's 10-3 and in the discus where Tom Merton's 102 would have been going for third behind Johnson's 118-3 in a reg ular track meet.
