Fanfare By DICK JIWETT Mjil Tribune Sport Editor Cliff Hansen, Crater Lake Area council Boy Scout exec utive, provided the tenia that the Medford high track team used Saturday at the District track meet in Ashland. And he was the main hand in set ting them up according to Coach Bob Newland. There's a couple of corrections to be made in the District 3 Class A track meet result? as publish ed Sunday. They came to light after receipt in the mail Mon day of the complete official tab ulation and after a check with Gene Allison, Ashland, the meet director. There is no change in the qualifiers, however. In the high jump the top height was 5 feet 8 inches not 5-9. It was made by Medford s Bud Kastner as well as Ashland's Doyce Lemley. They divided first and second place points, getting nine each. After reaching 5-8, Lemley tried 5-9 three times and missed. Kastner, knowing he had second place and a state meet spot cinched, didn't try to go higher. Along the way to clear ing Lemley had two misses in the event and Kastner three. The Medfordite conceded first place ribbon to Lemley but the points still were split. In the pole vault, a recheck of records showed that Parker and Lewman, Grants Pass, Don Goyette, Crater, and Gale Friend, Eagle Point, all cleared 10 feet to tie for third place. Results as first recorded on the tcoresheet listed Parker third, Goyette and Lewman tied for fourth and Friend sixth. It was a ease of a difference in the num ber of misses on the part of the vaulters. Points, nevertheless should have been split. These, then, if we have figured our fractions right, should be the correct team scores: Med ford 171, Grants Pass 102 514, Ashland 57 67, Klamath. Falls 51 57, Crater 21 2728, Eagle Point 15V4, Henley 6 and Phoe nix 1 87. part in the Frosh-Rooks track meet and won the javelin with a 168-foot 7-inch cast. Ha was second in the shot put. OTHER MEDFORDITES Several other ex - Medford ite figured in the Oregon Oregon State competition. Ed Bingham was second in the javelin (209 feet). Jack Moad was second in the shot and Dave Newland was third in the pole vault for Oregon's var sity. Benson Foley won the pole vault (12 feet) for the OSC Rooks. MORRIS SHINES Jack Morris, one of the all lime great athletes at Medford high whose football No. 21 was retired before his grad uation, continues to shine in spring athletic activities at University of Oregon. Last Saturday morning he was a cog. as a fullback, for the Whiles in the final varsity spring football scrimmage. In the afternoon he went out and won the 100-yard dash and the 220-yard low hurdles" for the Freshman team against Ore gon State in :10 flat and -.24.9. Both limes were better than those turned in the UO-OSC varsity meet. In the final grid affair he ran 18-yards . for one touch down and sparked at least one other TD drive. CHAPPIE DOES WELL Center Norm Chapman is an other ex-Medfordite reported as going great guns in Duck foot ball workouts. Like Morris he's a freshman this year but, of course, doesn't , have Morris's background of four years of mili tary service. Chappie also took MEDFORD GRIDDERS Don Jacobs and Don Spinas were Black Tornado alums join ing Morris and Chapman in the Duck grid drills. Jacobs is the only one of the four with varsity experience at Oregon. He was a varsity reserve guard this year. Jake has had a back ailment but reportedly wasn't bothered with it this spring. Spinas transferred from Oregon. AMBITIONS THWARTED Medford high tennis team's ambilions to be the club to end the Roseburg winning streak was thwarted in two ways. In the first place North Bend beat the Black Tornado to it. Then the Tornado didn't get a chance for its match at Rose burg because of rain. The In dians won 71 straight team matches over a period of six years before tumbling to the Bulldogs. Roseburg claims a national record. Ray Coleman Skeet Victor Ray Coleman and Martin Clogston took the major share of honors Sunday in a skeet tourney at Medford Gun club. Coleman won two events. Clogston was runner up to Coleman and copped the other event. In the 100-target open class Coleman broke 95 and Clogston 94. Coleman shattered 48 and Clogston had 46J in 50-target 20-guage shooting.

DeMarco Beats Libby Manzo New York (U.R) Former lightweight champion Paddy De Marco was forced to alter his fu ture battle plans today in the wake of his second straight vic tory over unranked Libby Manzo of New York. The Brooklyn "billy goat" suffered a gashed chin in bat-J tling to a split lu-rouna decision over Manzo Monday night in a widely-televised bout at St. Nicholas Arena. The cut required several stitches and caused DeMarco to postpone a fight with Bobby Woods, prominent California lightweight, which had been ten tatively set for early next month at Spokane, Wash. Manzo, who had dropped a similar split decision to DeMarco at St. Nicks seven weeks ago, also suffered facial damage in their grudge return match. The ex-choir' singer turned boxer was cut above the right eye in the third round.

The Bulldogs came through with some alert base running and scored the winning run in the seventh inning yesterday to de feat Malin 2 to 1 for the mantle in a game played at Merrill. Talent, the Jackson County B champ and defending state co titlist, will next meet the Dis trict 6 winner for the right to enter the state tourney at Echo. Moro reportedly has the Dis trict 6 banner and the inter-district fracas may be on Thursday or Friday. Against the Klamath county B champions yesterday, the Bull dogs made the most of their op portunities and combined a couple of walks with sacrifices and two of their three hits to earn the victory. In the seventh it was J. Lloyd Wood who dashed across the plate with the win ning marker. .Pitcher Don Cog hill, helping win his own game with his bat, as well as his throwing, got the rap which en abled Wood to score. Wood Walks . Wood got on base by a walk. George Zickefoose sacrificed him to second base. Bob Hoffman thumped a pop fly and Third Baseman- Lavon Travis went back on the play, leaving his base open. After the catch Wood, alert for the chance, scooted to the unprotected bag. Coghill then clubbed ball to third. He beat out Travis throw but the ball went through first for an error. Wood tallied on the play. A walk to Hoffman put the first Talent run on base in the third inning. Coghill sacrificed Hoffman to second. Then, on a bunt by half-pint Freddie Helm and the play on him at first base Hoffman romped in to score. Helm got credit for a hit on the play, since the Malin second sacker hadn't quite got to first in covering on this bunt. A three-base error aided Malin to score its lone marker in the fourth canto. Ray Johnson hit a long fly ball to right field. Helm went a long distance for It and got his hand on it but the ball popped out of his glove. Marvin Macken grounded out to short stop and Johnson rambled across the plate. Triple Threatens Malin came up with a bid in the sixth inning when Roland Harman, the lead-off man, trip led. The next three men ground; ered out, however. A nifty back hand infield stop by Zickefoose at second saved the day and pro vided the third out of the frame. Coghill, duplicating Hurler Bill Owens of Malin, yielded just three hits. The Talent tosser struck out eight batters and is sued one walk. Owens fanned three and gave three bases on balls. Ron Weinhold got the other safety for Talent. Johnson cracked a double and Don Raj- Tuesday, Mav 17, 19SS MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE HUH Carlton, Stan lee Foes Being Sought Mack Lillard was in Portland today where he Is seeking op ponents for Lord Carlton and Gene Stanlee for his wrestling card at Merrick's arena Satur day night.
