MEDFORDttTRIBUNE t Fanfare Biggest problem now lor the Roseburg Chiefs, newest entry in the Southern Oregon Baseball League, now is recruiting play ers, Hal Zurcher of the new club ha informed the Roseburg News-Review. He said that most of the talent would be obtained from "outside sources" with pos sible three or four Roseburg men ' contacted. Games will be at Finlay field. Organization of the Chiefs has been made possible by last min ute financial support. No names of the financial backers have been giveri. The money report edly came from the "money angels" in lump sums with the aid of Bun Kelsay, co-partner with Zuracher in the drive to restore fast semi-pro baseball in Roseburg. , BANDON SAID OKEY A report from the coast area received by this department painted the Bandon picture in regard to the Southern Ore gon Baseball League as "shaky." However, other re-: ports have been more reassur ing. -4 JOHNSTON'S GOAL Bob Johnston, high jumper at Crater high, has set 6 feet 4 inches as his goal this year. Bob has cleared 6-2. His top height in a meet has been 6-1. NATIONAL RECORD When Roteburgh high wen its 70th straight team tennis match by downing Medford last week, the Indians were believed to have set a new national record.

' ' ' Mclaughlin pitches v Of two ex-Medford high school baseball players now Freshmen at Stanford university, only one is out for the frosh team this spring. Don McLaughlin has pitched two victories in a Stan ford uniform. Dick Pepper, for mer first, baseman for Medford high, is foregoing athletics in favor of his accounting and law studies. Dick will visit his father, C. B. Pepper, an- engineer, at Casablance,' Motoccot this1sunv mer and has plans to see some of Europe. JACK MORRIS SHINES Jack Morris, former all around grid great at Medford high, apparently had not been slowed by his four-year hitch In the Air Force. A fresh man at University of Oregon this spring, he has clipped off a :09.8 century dash and set a new Hayward field record of :23.S in the low hur.dlo. He's also out for varsity football spring . practice. A report from the Webfoot cam pus said that Morris ripped and slashed through the line for gain after gain on Friday and even sped out 'for pass catching duties.

MOAD MARK BETTERED The 57 foot 8Vfc inch state shot put record set by Medford's Jack Moad back in 1953 is being threatened. Duane Marshall, the St. Helen's ace, bettered the standard with a 57 foot 11V4 inch put in the Columbia county meet last week end. But he'll have to beat Moad's mark in the state meet at Corvallis this month to claim the official Ore gon record. Marshall reportedly has been concentrating on his shot put ting since during the basketball season. He was a varsity basket ball player a year ago, but ac cording to Coach Ed Rooney; gave up the hoop sport to stress track wheh'he realized at the start of the cage season that he would not be a regular. Moad continues to improve as a sophomore at University of Oregon as. is evidenced by his 50 foot 3 inch put with the 16 pound ball to establish .a school mark. Prepsters put a 12-pound marble. PORTLAND MARKS GOOD There's plenty of evidence -that Portland prep trackmen will be strong contenders for state meet honors this month Several of them loom as fav orites in their respective ev ents. There's Julius Strong, Roosevelt, and Huey Hatten, Jefferson with :09.9 each in the 100-yard dash and Strong with :21.9 in the 220. Jim Grolle, Lincoln, has a 1:59.5 half-mile and Roger Stoutt, . Grants, has a 4:28.6 mile. Roosevelt's 880 relayers were clocked in 1:31.4 on Friday, .2 of a second .off Medford's state record. Richie Curtis, of Roosevelt. :14.9, and Lynn Roumagoux, Cleveland, : 15, are top rated Portlanders in the high hurdles.
