Smith 0i Two District Track Tiffs On Saturday District meets, the competi tion which decides who enters the state track session at Cor vallis are next on the schedule for Class A and B high schools of southern Oregon. Class A district rivalry will be held at Ashland next Satur day. At the same time B schools of the area will contend at Med ford senior high's oval. The Black Tornado of Med ford is the heavy favorite to take team honors in the A school fuss but qualifying men for state will be the main objective rather than team points. Medford is expect ed to gain a good share of state meet berths. Rogue River looms strong in the Class B tussle here. Unbeaten in any competition this year, Medford polished off a dual meet foe, Klamath Falls, at Klamath on Saturday 87 Vi to 34i. Swept Four Events The Tornado swept four events from the Pelicans, the mile, the half-mile, the 220-yard dash and the broad jump. Firsts were won in seven other events, seconds in two and thirds in four. Hurdle times by Medford's Wally Larson were highlights of the meet. His :20.1 in the lows is thought to be the best so far this season in Oregon prep circles while his :15 flat in the high's ties for second best. Mike Haw kins, Medford, fourth man in the race, was clocked in :20.7 in the lows. Scott Hancock, Klamath, and Bron Oglesby, Medford, were second and third. Richie Curtis, Roosevelt, Port land, skimmed the highs in :14.9 last week end in a dual meet while Lynn Roumagoux, Cleve land, was clocked in :15 in an other tangle. Neither of Medford's top quarter-milsrs ran at Klamath. Don Crowl-had a leg ailment and Pete Kershaw did not make the trip. Lew Breazeale, Torna do pole vaulter, was sidelined with a turned ankle.

The Klamath wins put the Pels in contention a half-game be hind Mediord. Two wins by Grants Pass over Medford will put the Cavemen out of reach of the Black Torna do in the race. ToPlayYr.ka Coach Alex McDonald indi cated that he may call on Pitch ers Ernie Tyler, Larry Clark and Ken Piland this week, giving Ed McCullough and Duane Sides a rest. Should the Tornado get in to a tight spot, however, the lat ter two could get a rescue call. Piland has been out of action about a week, concerned with DeMolay convention work. Bill Mendenhsll, George Herr and Larry Cochell are the top Grants Pass twirlers. Medford baseballers wind up the week with a non-league fra cas here on Saturday against Yreka, Calif. In contests of non-loop nature Talent plays at Eagle Point at 7 o'clock tonight and Crater vies at Ashland on Tuesday after noon. Talent is awaiting District 5B play-offs after finishing Jack son county play unmarred. Ma- lin is unbeaten so far in Klamath county. Crater eyes A-2 district play-off action this week end. The Comets won the southern di vision of District 6. Dead line Sunday CUu-Uled is at noon Saturday: 1 a. m. Monday for Monday; ether days 530 previous day. Two Experts Like Cocke 1 1 San Rafael, Calif. U.R) Two ring experts predicted yesterday that challenger Don Cockell will give Heavyweight Champion Rocky Marciano a "tough time" in their title bout May 16 in San Francisco. Former featherweight, light weight and welterweight cham pion Henry Armstrong and Cali fornia State Athletic Commis sioner Joe Phillips watched Cockell box five rounds Sunday and were impressed by his speed. Has Seen Both . Armstrong j - now an ordained minister, said, "I have seen Marciano box and I have watch ed Cockell throw that left hand. I'm-sure Marciano will have a tough time with him and I think Cockell may be successful in winning the fight." . Phillips echoed Armstrong. "Cockell looks very good to me," Phillips said. "Marciano can be hit easily as it has been proven in previous fights by Ez zard Charles, Jersey Joe Walcott and Roland La Starza. He has a fastpair of hands and it is pos sible that this boy may take him, although I'm not predicting that the title will change hands." Sole of Woman's Shoe Aids Swaps By RAY AYRES Louisville, Ky. (U.R) A half sole from a woman's shoe played a major role in Swaps' stunning victory in the richest Kentucky Derby of them all. Before shipping the handsome chestnut colt back to California Sunday, trainer M. A. Tenney re vealed Swaps was nursing a ten der right front foot only two days before the Derby. "I wanted to give hihi a good workout just before the Derby," said Tenney, "but the foot hurt him and we only let him gallop. Later I pulled the shoe off end reset a piece of leather it's actually a half-sole from a wom an's shoe under his hoof and renailed the plate. "I guess I got it set just right because the foot didn't seem to bother him after that," Tenney added. Junior Baseball Session Tuesday A meeting to organise the Southern Oregon Junior Base ball League for this summer, has been set for Tuesday. It will be at 7:30 p.m. in Room 1 of the senior high school here.: All persons interested are in vited. A particular invitation is extended to those who may enter teams in the loop. Dilly's U-Drivo Medford Airport Chan Harper Nabs Honors In Colonial By ED FITE Fort Worth, Tex. (U.R) Chan dler Harper, who won the $25, 000 Colonial National Invitation golf tournament by the widest margin in history with the only 72-hole sub-par golf, thinks the PGA is giving him the "go-by" in its records. The 41-year-old Harper, who calls Virginia home but who plays out of Chattanooga, Tenn., pocketed a $5,000 first money check for a four-under-par 276 in winning the Colonial Sunday to give him a 69-stroke average for the tourney and a whopping eight-stroke lead over the field. According to Harper's figures that ran his season winnings to $8,014 for six tournaments, but the PGA says it's only $7664. Also, according to the drawling champion's figures, he's aver aged 69.64 strokes per round for 22 rounds of golf, which would put him in first place in the Var don Trophy standings. But the PGA doesn't even list him. Harper wasn't even among those getting passing mention when pre-tojmament picks were made for Colonial's rugged test. But then neither was the man who finished closest to him young Dow Finsterwald of Bed ford Heights. O., whose 36-38 74 on the final day put him at 284 and earned him $3,000. Ed Oliver of Lemont, 111., tucked away a $2,000 check for third money by finishing at 286 with a final day 36-36 72, while five players each earned $1,430 for tying for fourth place at 287.
