Their tilt fol lows the scuffle between Gaston and Glide at 7 p.m. Friday win ners vie in the championship game on Saturday night with the Friday losers to compete for third place. Talent's scrape with Echo is a replay of the 1954 B semi-finals. The southern Oregon title team licked the host club 5 to 1 in the. first round state tourney hassle. The Bulldogs last year shared the mantle with Verboort which failed to regaip its tuorney berth. Players making the trip for Talent are Ray and Ron Wein hold.

To reach the state tournament Talent won the Jackson County B championship with five wins and no losses, trimmed Malin for the District 5B mantle and laced Moro in the interdistirct play-off. Holly Mims Beats Green St. Louis, Mo.-(U.R) Middle weight Holly Mims, as danger ous moving backward as a run away trailer on a hill, demand ed a title shot today. That is to say his manager and spokesman, Nick Trotta, did the demanding. Holly, a solidly-built Negro from Washington, D.C., was as sparing with words as he was generous with punches Wednes day night in handing Charley Green a convincing defeat on points. Mims, outweighed 154V2 to 160, thrilled a scant crowd of 1,272 and an uncounted national television audience by coming back from a near knockout in the ninth round to hammer out the unanimous verdict. "They can hardly turn him down for a shot at the title after that one," Trotta said as Mims nodded agreement.

Benson To Enter NCAA Track Test Salem (U.R) Dean Benson of Bend, Willamette's top hurd ler, will compete June 17 and 18 in the annual NCAA track and field tournament in Los Angeles, school officials said today.

Harry Matthews Training Again Seattle (U.R) Harry (Kid) Matthews, Seattle heavyweight, said today he has resumed train' ing and will again campaign ac tively in the heavyweight ranks Matthews retired from boxing last year. He said motion pic tures of the Marciano-Cockell fight influenced him in making his decision. "Marciano looked 10 crude and awkward, against Cockell, I decided the champion is slip ping," Matthews said. "I think a good boxer can beat him." Matthews' manager, Jack" Hurley, was to meet with the fighter today to talk over future bouts. One possibility was a fight with the winner of the Pat Mc- Murty-Bob Albright heavy weight fight here June 7. Matthews will continue to op erate his fuel business in West Seattle. Drivers Conduct Last Test Runs Indianapolis (U.R) Indian apolis Speedway purred with ac tivity today for the last time be fore the big Memorial Day race as most of the 33 starters planned to take their racers out for final-shakedown and carbur- ation tests. ' The successful cars were torn down after Sunday's qualifiaca- tions for careful chemical inspec tions designed to turn up any flaws which might cause an en gine breakdown during the gruel ling 500-mile race. After today's practice, the 2V4 mile brick and asphalt oval again will be closed and cleaned before the cars line up at 11 a.m, Monday for the race itself. ; Sao Paulo, mushrooming at the rate of 35 new buildings a day, now is challenging Brazil's largest city, Rio de Janeiro, home of 2,650,000 people. It hopes eventually to . surpass Buenos Aires, Argentine capital and South America's largest city. Mile Could Be Feature Of PC Meet University of Oregon, Eugene Who will win the mile run? The competition between Ore gon's Bill Dellinger, UCLA's Bob Seaman, and USC's Sid Wing and Marty Montgomery is expected to be one of the high lights of the 25th annual PCC track championship at Hayward Field next Saturday at 3:30 p.m. Dellinger is the defending champion while Seaman, Mont gomery and Wing are all con sidered excellent prospects to succeed the Webfoot junior as the PCC four-lap king. All of Dellinger's chief competitors have run the mile slightly faster this season, with Seaman's 4:10.7 the best, than he. has, but his backers say the Duck ace can upset the dope sheet' again this season. . Seaman has been sensational in- his sophomore year and he has been tabbed as one of the future stars of American dis tance running. Montgomery and Wing are both veterans and if either Seaman or Dellinger fal ter could turn the race into a USC show. Pressure Possible These four should be the class of the field, but UCLA's Pat Delgado, USC's Dick Adams and Washington's Gene Ham mermaster, along with WSC's Neil Rader, will put pressure on the leaders. The two mile and the 880-yard run won't be far off the mile in fan interest and both, races could develop into wide-open af fairs. In the long run, USC's Fer nando Ledesma, who has run under 9:10 this season, UCLA's rapidly improving Bob Hunt, Ken Reiser of Oregon, Chuck Strong and Will King of Stan ford, and Lou Courley of Idaho should stage a brilliant race. Le desma and Hunt will be the co- favorites, but Reiser, running on his own rack, could make it a three-way scramble with his best effort. In the 880, Oregon's Austral ian sophomore, Jim Bailey, has the best of it on the basis of best times by a full second, but if Seaman elects to double up the Duck would face the stiffest kind of competition. UCLA will also have Bob Carne as a threat and the ever-powerful Trojans can count on a good effort from Marshall Clark. Add to this field Bill Link of Washington State, Gary Gayton of Washing top and Bill Taylor of USC and the race looks like one ot tne meet's best. FIRE SPOTTER International Falls, Minn. (U.R) Cleve Costley, South In ternational Falls fire chief, doesn't forget his job even dur ing flying lessons. While taking lesson, Costley spotted flames licking the roof of the Thomas Cobey home. Costley landed his plane, rapped on Cobey s door, and informed him his house was afire. The first free diagnistic can cer clinic in the united btates was opened in Columbus, O., in 1921. WANTED!
