Use Tribune Want Ads Demonstrator Phone 3-4553 ONLY 3 LEFT MedforivTribune Fanfare Track and field at Medford high school has a tremendous, proud and illustrious history to inspire its athletes and a mighty prestige for its runners, jumpers and throwers to uphold. That great record is pointed up in the handbook on "The Medford System Track and Field" pre pared by Cinder Coach Bob Newland. The foreward outlines the im pressive achieves of the Black Tornado. This is the record Tornado thinclads seek to im prove upon: Seven state champ ionships and one second place in eight years; 12-state crowns out of 16 times entered; 13 Hay ward relay togas and second place the other three times enter ed; state records in the 180 and 200-yard low hurdles and the 42 and 39-inch 120-high hurdles; most times winner of state meet, most points scored in all combined state meets, and most points (74) in winning a single state meet; record holder in six Hayward relay events; disrtict champ 10 to 13 years and record-holder in 10 of 15 district events; only one loss in eight years of dual meet rivalry. Medford has produced six All Americans, Ray Johnson in the quarter-mile, D. C. Mills, Ed Bingham and Eldon Francis in the javelin, Frank Morris in the hurdles and Jack Moad in the shot put. Francis and Morris set northwest high school division records in their specialists in AAU contention. Consistincy Sought Purpose of the book prepar ed by Newland and other staff members of the school is as a course of study outlined in an introduction by City School Superintendent Leonard May field. He mentions that de velopment of guides in all phases of the educational pro gram enables the administra tion to keep the curricula con sistent with its accepted phil osophy of education. In the Medford schools com petitive athletics and physical education programs are con sidered separate entities, each contributing toward educa tional goals, Mayfield says. "We believe," he concludes, "that a strong competitive ath letic program such as propos ed in this (track) manual is not only desirable but needed in our public school pro grams." Mental, Moral Development The track manual not only deals with fundamentals and techniques in coordinating the school's program but with creat ing and maintaining interest in the sport as well. It brings out the contribution of the sport to physical, mental and moral de velopment. Draws Comment We mentioned in a previous column about Mike Russell, Medford sophomore quarter miler and junior AAU north west winner, training at Uni versity of Oregon during state basketball tourrnament week. His ability for a runner so young drew considerable com ment from the more exper ienced runners. Shot Put Prospect Remark from UO Track-Tutor Bill Bowerman (heard second hand) after he saw Larry Gober, chunky but quick-moving Med ford eager, perform in the state hoop tourney: "What a shot put ter that boy would make."

Exclusive Broadcast Radio station KYJC had an "exclusive" for this area Fri ray night when it brought the play- by-play of the University of San Francisco-University of Iowa NCAA championship basketball game to southern Oregon fans.

RIVERSIDE Br DICK JEWETT Mail Tribune Sporti Editor graduate of 1953, won the Lar son Air Force Base free throw championship recently' with 93 shots made out of 100 tried. In the service for the past lVi years, Singler is attached to a Strategic Air Command radar unit. He has played basketball at Larson this winter and his team won second place on the base. He is the son of Mrs. Ena Singler, Dark Hollow rd. Reasons Told Said Art Moyer, sports- writer for the Albany Democrat-Herald after the state basketball tournament: "District 8 basketball teams did not do too well at Eugene, and there are three reasons advanced for the fact that all three squads from this area dropped their first two games. "Reason 1 is that the teams had too much basketball dur ing the season and were all played out at tournament time. Reason 2 is that the dis trict's basketball was below par for the rest of the state and the third reason is that the teams were not properly coached for tournament play." Cross To Bear And this was from the type writer of Pete Cornacchia, Eu gene Register-Guard prep writer. "You've got your cross to bear but try to spare a tear or two for coach Frank Roelandt at Medford, although you may con sider it enough to reach the finals two years in a row. Beaten in the finals by a big guy for the second straight year, Roe landt will have three starters back next season but knows Jensen also will be back."
