Wininger, Fray To Harrington, Williams George Harrington and Al Williams, who had the advan tage of familiarity with the home links, subdued a pair of top rated touring professionals, Billy Maxwell and Bo Wininger, yes terday in an exhibition best ball golf match at Rogue Valley Country club. A small but enthusiastic gal lery saw the home course pair take a 4 and 3 decision over the visitors, who were testing the Medford fairways and tricky greens for the first time. Harrington, amateur and the Rogue valley manager, set the medal pace on the front nine as the Medford men took a 2 up advantage. He stroked a three-under-par 34 while Wininger and Maxwell were collecting 36s. Williams, the club pro, was one over par for this portion of the fracas. However, he won two of the three holes, with birds, that the home duo took on the front lap. And on the back side his par on every hole, while the other players faltered, steadied the Medfordites to their victory. Court Considered Good Pars on the 11th and 13th greens gave the RVCC divotmen their 4 up spread. The regular jnatch ended on the 15th hole where Maxwell and Williams halved with threes. Maxwell, from Odessa, Tex., nd Wininger, from Oklahoma City, Okla., agreed that the Rogue valley course is a good one. While they took a setback, they, nevertheless, fired credit able scores on the unfamiliar layout. Maxwell, the steadier of the two, was one over par with 73 and Wininger, who had a tendency to spray his shots, as the foursome played out the full 18 holes for the spectators. The Rogue valley vets, Har rington and Williams, each had 73s at the conclusion of the . roimd which saw some strokes conceded. In medal best ball the home club duo had a 67 to 70 edge. At the end of the15 holes of match play Harrington was one under par, Williams one over. Max well two above and Wininger three over. . Williams sank a seven or eight foot put on the first hole for a birdie that gave the Medford team a lead it never relinquish ed. Maxwell missed a bird when his putt stopped on the rim of the cup. The visitors made fine approaches on No. 2 but couldn't drop eight and 10 foot shots to tie up the tussle. Taka 3-Up Lead ' Harrington ran the count to 2 up with a 15-foot putt on No. S green. Wininger came close with a 17-footer on 3. Williams Standings AMERICAN LEAGUE W Is.

Harrington and Maxwell almost dropped in their pellets for twos. All four men got fours on No. 5 Williams came close to a tnree on a 60-foot try. The status quo was kept on No. 6 when Har rington plunked a 12-footer and Maxwell a four-footer for birdie threes. The rivals halved No. 7 with pars by Wininger and Harrington. The visitors gained back a hole when Wininger had a great approach on No. 8 and put in his short tap for a birdie three. Headed for the same green Williams drove into a hole among trees behind a screen. He picked up and took a bogey five on his card. On No. 9 Harrington matched pars by Wininger and Maxwell to halve the hole. Now new Chevrolet Task-Force trucks bring you the industry's most advanced V8 engines with an ultra-short stroke for reduced friction and wear. Here are some of the features that make 'em the most modern V8's Modern 12-volt electrical system You get double the punch for quicker starting (up to 30 faster cranking speed) and more efficient ignition for finer performance. Also, you have a greater reserve of electrical power. Gas-saving high-compression ratio With a high 7.5 to 1 compression ratio, Chev rolet's new V8 truck engines squeeze extra power and work-out of every tankful of gas. Your ton-mile hauling costs go down with this modern V8 power on the job! Extra-high power per pound The compact, super-efficient design of these advanced V8's results in high power output per pound of engine weight. This means that more of the power is actually available for hauling. mew mi Ninth and Bartlett streets , Over the next six greens Win inger had four bogies, Maxwell three and Harrington two. Trap Trouble Maxwells par enabled a halve on No. 10 but on 11 both the visitors had trap trouble. Win inger's recovery went over the green and Maxwell's plopped on the side of the apron. The home boys took the hole with pars. The opponents broke everv on 12 when Wininger matched pars with George and Al. On No. 13 the Rogue valley team won with pars when the visitors missed short putts. Williams got a par along with Maxwell and Wining er for, a split on No. 14. The two pros termed the Rogue Valley links one of the two or . three nicest they have played on since starting the cir cuit last December. At a clinic after the exhibition Wininger de scribed the course as interest- NOW... TH v-: money can buy! ting. "It's got a lot of shots and is something to be proud of," he said. Both men demonstrat ed shots and Wininger answered questions. Maxwell, eighth ranking mon ey winner this season on the pro circuit, and Wininger, 10th rank ing in earnings, were en route to the Western Open which be gins Thursday in Portland. They had just competed in the United States Open at San Francisco. Both were in the money.
