To Defend
For Tornado

2:15 p m. 2-mile relay.

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.

Hood Sets New High Jump Mark
As Washington Takes Dual Meet
Washington, with 12-year-old
Mike Hood providing the high
light with a sparkling Class A
high jump performance, won all
divisions of a city grade school
track dual with Jackson yester
day afternoon at the senior high
field.
Hood, a sixth-grader and son
of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth E.
Hood, 1000 Alta st., set a new
high jump standard in his class

s inch. The mark betters by
more than four inches the old
record of 4-8 which was held
jointly by Miller, Washington
(1950) , and Larson, Washington
(1951) .
'Real Jump'
The leap was termed "a real
jump" by Lee Ragsdale, super
visor of physical education for
the city schools. .Hood did not
"go out" at any height. He just

new record altitude.
Hood also won the 60-yard
dash as Washington took Class A
38 to 12. Class B margin was 41

was 3613 to 13i2.

Bulldog Thinclads Victors
in Junior Relays at GP
Medford junior high track and

top honors in a four-way relay
meet at Grants Pass.
The Bulldogs scored 82 points.
Grants Pass was second with 76.
Crater followed with 46 and
Klamath Falls ran up 24.
Medford shared first places

higher score. Only event in
which Medford finished farther
back than second was in the
broad jump. In that event the
Bulldogs got a third.
