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. ,

ed. 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.
