Class B; P. Rock 1st
A slim fraction of point at
Corvallis Saturday enabled the
Medford high school Black Tor
nado to maintain its role as the
near perennial track and field
team champion among Class A
Oregon high schools.
It was Medford's third con
secutive title.
Medford's thlnclads, as in 1954,
gleaned only one first place in
the annual prep cinder carnival
at Oregon State college's Bell
field but the Tornado gang col
lected enough tallies in seven
other events to shade its nearest
competitors.
The Black Tornado compiled
a count of 34 13. Right behind
in a three-way knot for second
place were North Bend, Roose
velt of Portland, and Eugene.
They each had 34. Grant of Port
land was fifth with 32 while Al
bany scored 22, Springfield 20,
Jefferson of Portland 1934 and
St. Helens and Beaverton each
187 Thirty-eight Class A schools
picked up points.
Pilot Rock Wins
Pilot Rock, powerhouse of
northeastern Oregon rolled up
51 points to capture Class B
laurels. Rogue River of Jackson
county had 39, Malin 30, Moro
28. Lowell 27 16, Monroe 26 Vi
and Day's Creek 21 16.
Eldon Francis, favored in his
event, provided Medford's only
blue ribbon points by heaving
the javelin 188 feet 6V4 inches.
Tornado seconds were provided
by Don Crowl who followed John
Erickson, Grant, in the quarter
mile and by Wally Larson who
was on the heels of Clausen,
Grant, in the low hurdles.
Bud Kastner tied for fourth
In the high jump to give Med
ford 2 13 points and the frac
tion it needed for victory. Lar
son placed fifth in the high
hurdles- and the Medford relay
quartet also was fifth. Danny
Morris was sixth in the 200-yard
dash and Jeff Williams got the
same spot in the half-mile.
Three records fell in the 1955
classic. Duane Marshall put the
shot 58 feet 2$ inches Friday,
beating the 1953 mark of 57-8Vfe
set by Jack Moad, Medford, in
1S53. Bob Amble. Albany, hurled
the discus 164-68 in Saturday's
finals after breaking his record
set in 1954 with a 161-6 V& cast
on Friday. His 1954 mark was
156-11. Jim Grelle's 1:58 half
mile for Lincoln of Portland was
a new modern standard in that
event.
Other firsts were posted by
Huey Hatten, Jefferson of Port
land, in the 100-yard dash; Mal
colm McBride, Lebanon, in the
high hurdles; Mark Robbins,
Roseburg, in his specialty, the
mile; Hobby Schepman, North
Bend, in the broad jump; Brum
ley, Eugene, in the high jump;
Julius Strong, Roosevelt of Port
land, in the 220; Jay Wilson, Cot
tage Grove, in the pole vault,
and Roosevelt in the relay.
Chiefs Take Relay
In Class B Rogue River helped
its second place cause by getting
first in the relay. Jack Her
burger was first in the discus.
Ted Stanfield was second in the
low hurdles and third in the
broad jump for the Chiefs. Her
burger was fifth in the shot put
and Bill Headrick fifth in the
javelin. Gary Phillips took sixth
in the 440-yard run.
Medford was the favorite as
the Class A rivalry got under
way but the Tornado anticipated
closer rivalry than in its two
previous championship efforts.
Exceptions proved out as four
schools bunched close behind it.
The Tornado nicked North Bend
by 2 13 points.
Medford had 10 berths going
into the finals.
Larson Tops Heat
In Friday qualifying Larson
was first in his heat in the low
hurdles and second in his high
hurdle preliminary. Eldon Fran
cis advanced to Saturday action
with his 188-foot 6V-inch jave
lin heave. Don Crowl was sec
ond in his heat in the quarter
mile and Dan Morris was second
in his 220-yard run. Medford re
lay team had fourth best prelim
time.
Jeff Williams and Jack Pool
in the half-mile, Glen Allison in
the mile and Everett Kastner in
the high jump did not have to
qualify on Friday.
Morris was third in his heat
and missed out in the 100-yard
dash. Mike Hawkins was eye
lashed out in broad jump. Neil
Plumley in shot put and Mel
Morgan in the javelin were
eliminated.
In Class B, Rogue River, the
southern Oregon B district
champ went into the final day
with nine spots. The Chiefs had
two men who qualified in two
events, Ted Stanfield in the low
hurdles and broad jump and
Jack Herburger in the shot put
and discus.
Jacksonville had only Ron
Muir left in the mile alter Fred
DeVos in the 440 and Dick San
ford in the high jump were
eliminated.
New B Marks
New B marks set in Friday ac
tion were Don Trautman, Con
cordia, :51.9 in the 440, Martin
Sharp, Eagle Valley, 5-1 14 in
the high jump, Harold Duncan,
Moro, :20.9 in the low hurdles,
and Bob Babb, Days Creek, 187
68 in the javelin.

Participant
In Golf Day
Announcement was made to
day by George Harrington, Man
ager of Rogue Valley Country
club, that the club will take part
in the National Golf Day com
petition on Saturday, June 4.
Golfers in the Medford area
will have them a chance to
match strokes with the nation's
1954 Open champions, Ed Fur
gol and Babe Didrikson Zahar
ias, who will play 18 holes the
same day in San Francisco.
This will mark the fourth
time that the Rogue Valley club
has participated in National
Golf day. Last year about 200
local golfers took part and Tom
MacLeod was the only one suc
cessful in beating Ben Hogan
with the aid of his official club
handicap. Unrated golfers are
judged by the Callaway handi
cap system.
Al Williams, pro at Rogue
Valley, is hopeful that an even
greater number will participate
this year. Entrance fee will be
only $1.00 and a major share
of gross receipts will be turned
over to the American Red Cross.
Chairman Eugene Thorndike of
the Jackson County chapter will
have -uniformed Red Cross col
unteers at the first tee to regis
ter all' contestants.
Chairman Thorndike said that
the Red Cross is enthusiastic
about its part in this year's tour
nament. All expenses will be un
derwritten by Life magazine.
Seals Beat
LA; Munger
Whips Oaks
San Francisco U.R) The
San Francisco Seals, continuing
a week-long batting spree, rak
ed four Los Angeles pitchers for
10 hits and a 6-5 victory Satur
day. Fine relief pitching by Bill
Bradford helped the Seals win
their fourth straight and clinch
the Pacific Coast league series,
4-1.
The Seals, averaging 13 hits a
game this week, actually were
outhit 12-10 by the Angels but
hit when it counted to hand
Bubba Church his first PCL loss
of the season.
Ewell (The Whip) Blackwell,
former Cincinnati great, was
credited with his first victory
although he bowed out in the
sixth after giving up four runs.
Cavemen Won 6-3, 44; Earn

Hollywood (U.R) Holly
wood's veteran righthander Red
Munger, tossing his streaking
fast ball, goose-egged Oakland
in eight innings today as the
Stars whipped the Oaks, 6-2, and
moved aliead 3-2 m the series.
Winner Munger (3-3) allowed
eight hits, struck out six and
walked three in going the dis
tance. The Oaks scored off him
only in the sixth inning. Bud
Black (2-2), the first of three
Oakland hurlers, was the loser
in the Gilmore field game before
2,235 fans.
Munger held the Oaks score
less to the sixth when the losers
picked up two runs on a single
by Joe Brovia, a triple by Bill
Serena and an infield out by
Russ Rose.
Sacramento, Calif. (U.R)
Homers by San Diego's Diclc Sis
ler and Milt Smith sparked four
run arllies in the fourth and
sixth innings that carried San
Diego to an 8-1 Pacific Coast
league victory over Sacramento
last night. It was the eighth
straight win for the league lead
ers and their 18th in 19 games.
Central Point Grants Pass'
high claimed the District 6A
baseball championship yesterday
and with it a state tourney bid.
Ending a scheduled twe-out-of-three
play-off with two
straight victories, the Cavemen
downed Crater high 6 to 3 and 4
to 1 in the city field here. Crater
had won the A-2 mantle and
Grants Pass the A-l laurels.
The conflicts were the fourth
and fifth in three days for the
Cavemen who split a twinbill
with Klamath Falls on Thursday,
then turned back the Pels Friday
in a play-off for the A-l title.
Grants Pass was assisted by
erratic Comet play in the first
game. In the second fracas Bill
Mendenhall came through with
a one-hitter mound chore while
his Cavemen mates were com
bining walks and hits given up
by Crater Thrower Ray Kelley
for their runs.
Crater tallied first in the open
ing scuffle on a double by Donn
Johnson, a wild pitch on Mel
Harsh's third strike and another
wild heave by Pitcher George
Herr. In the second frame GP
got two runs on two errors, two
hit batters (by Hurler Fred Heri
mann), a fielder's option and hits
by Herr and Raleigh Burr.
Comets Caich Up
The Comets got a run back in
the third panel on singles by
Johnson and Harvey Tonn and
an error. They caught up at 3-all
in the fourth on a walk, fielder's
option, wild pitch and single by
Ken Bailey.
Grants Pass went back in
front in the fifth panel on Don
James' triple and Mel Drews'
squeeze sacrifice. The Cavemen
then added two counters in the
sixth inning on three Comet mis
cues and sacrifices by Burr and
Chuck Nevi.
Heavy hitters in the first fray
were Del Oden of GP with two
doubles in four times up, John
son of Crater with a double and
single in four turns and Tonn of
Crater with two singles in three
tries. Herrmann gave five hits
to Grants Pass. He fanned six
batters, walked one and hit two.
Herr whiffed five and walked
four in a seven hit afternoon.
Crater was charged with seven
errors.,
The Comets again got the first
score in the second mix. Harold
Lefler walked and Kelley sacri
ficed him to second. Johnson
three-baggered to bring in the
lone run. Grants Pass did most
of its run making in the fourth,
getting three tallies. The Cave
men took advantage of singles
by Oden and Nevi and three
Dases on calls, along with a
fielder's option and a wild pitch,

Play Retained
Corvallis (U.R) Motions to
eliminate the state high school
football and baseball tourna
ments drew mixed reaction Fri
day at the annual spring meet
ing of the Oregon School Activi
ties Association.
A motion to eliminate the
baseball championships was de
feated by one vote, 11-10. A mo
tion to present an amendment to
eliminate grid playoffs was car
ried 15-5, but it could not be
acted upon in time to halt next
season's tourney.
The 1956 baseball tourney
could still be halted by delegates
to the OSAA's November
meeting.

two walks and an error.
Mendenhall struck out seven,
walked three and hit one batter.
Kelley was reached for only four
hits. He fanned eight and walked

GRANTS PASS CAPTURES
6 A-l BASEBALL CROWN
A second-inning surge of runs,
fine mound work by little Fresh
man Pitcher Larry Cochell and
good defense enabled the Grants
Pass high Cavemen to thump
Klamath Falls 8 to 0 Friday and
claim the District 6 A-l baseball
banner.
The Cavemen and Pelicans,
who tied in regular season South
ern Oregon Conference and dis
trict contention, played-off the
deadlock on the neutral Medford
high school diamond. '
Grants Pass bludgeoned out
five hits as it collected six runs
in the second frame. Cochell suf
ficiently scattered out the seven
hits he gave up. And he had near
perfect fielding support, includ
ing two double plays, one at a
crucial moment.
Bill Krumholz three-baggered
for GP in the second inning and
Bill Mendenhall, Del Oden, Jay
Reese and Larry Cochell all
socked singles in the second in
ning. A walk to Mel Drews, a
sacrifice flyout by Chuch Nevi
and a fielder's option on Ra
leigh Burr's infield blow aided
in the run production.
Grants Pass scored once again
in the third frame on two suc
cessive miscues. In the fourth in
ning Nevi singled and stole sec
ond base. He advanced to third
on Krumholz's groundout and
tallied on Drew's hit.

Had To Work
The Cavemen were pre-season
favorites in the district and
started strong but in the end
they had to scrap for the cham
pionship. After winning five
straight league and district
games, Grants Pass lost three, out
of four contests with Medford.
In the meantime, Klamath be
gan a winning streak and soon
was knotted with GP. Each had
seven wins and three losses. The
two clubs met at Klamath Falls
on Thursday and split, giving
each an 8-4 mark. That was the
reason for the extra game played
here.
Medford was third in the loop

New York (U.R) Welter
weight contender Ramon
Fuentes, displaying stepped-up
speed and power, will be re
warded with another television
fight at Madison Square Garden
on June 17 for holding middle
weight Gil Turner to a surprise,
return-bout draw Friday night.
Stocky, saddle-nosed Fuentes
of Los Angeles will meet Sugar

harder punches and buckled
.Gil's knees with three "re
peater" left hooks in the seventh
round.
Turner is slated for a return
bout with Gene Fullmer at West
Jordan, Utah, on June 20. Gil
recently tagged Fullmer with
his first defeat.
