GP Cavemen Gain
Tornado
Medford high'i trackmen roar
ed to first places in six events
and established six new meet
standards in the process yester
day but the effort wasn't guite
sufficient to continue the Black
Tornado's dominance in the
Rogue Valley relays. The Ki
wanis club trophy emblematic
of the team championship went
to the Grants Pass Cavemen.
The boys from the Climate
city lower down the Rogue cap
tured first places in only two
of the events, the javelin and
the distance medley, but they
got enough seconds and thirds
and fourths to total 83 points.
That total barely edged Med
ford's 82.
It was Medford's first team
setback in the Rogues since 1949.
Third in the 17th annual south
ern Oregon cinder carnival was
Marshfield of Coos Bay with 53.
, Crater's Comets were fourth
with 43. Klamath Falls scored
38 and Ashland 19.
In all eight records were
smashed. Grants Pass setting two
along with Medford's six.
McFarland Win Javelin
Gary McFarland got one of
the Cavemen's firsts when he
beat out Medford's state Cham
pion, Eldon Francis, with a rec
ord javelin heave of 182 feet
ZVz inches. Francis with 180-6
and Hardy Spurgeon, Marshfield
with 179-1 also beat the old
mark of 178 set by D. C. Mills,
Medford in 1950.
Grants Pass won its other blue
ribbon and set its other record in
the distance medley when Paul
Cpgule, Francis Krause, Tom
Putman and Terry Boatman com-
bined for 11:18.
Medford started out the record
breaking afternoon in the first
event, the 440-yard relay. Mike
Hawkins, Bob Gould, Wally Lar
son and Gary Riley covered the
lap in :44.3. The Tornado fol
lowed that up with standard
shattering two-mile relay victory
with Les Lingscheit, Bilbee Lane,
Bill Richey and Wiley Winchell
touring in 8:24.7.
Medford Nabs Shuttles
Wally Larson, Hawkins and
Dennis Miller, Medford, leaped
over the shuttle hurdles in a
new fast time of :34:3. and Med
ford's crew of Wayne Close, Bob
Tisdel and Hawkins hopped to
a new mark of ei-91, in the
broad jump. In the mile the
Medford team of Pete Kershaw,
Loren Christean, Winchell and
Mike Russell estbalished the new
time of 3:26.3.
Lew Breazeale- estbalished a
new height of 12-3 for Medford

Pedro Colley took the
discus
for Klamath Falls and Crater
won the high jump relay.
The Black Tornado suffered
a damaging disqualification for
passing the baton outside the
exchange zone in the half-mile
test. Medford finished in second
place with anchor man Gary
Riley only a stride and a half
back of Marshfield's Roger John
son. Had Medford been allowed
the eight points for second place
it would have retaintd its cham
pionship.
In setting the broad jump
Hawkins jumped 20-11, Close
20-6 and Tisdel 20-312. Neil
Plumley was top individual in
the shot put with a distance of
50-2V2. Mostof Medford's cinder
victories were by wide margins
After eoina 12-3 in the vault
Breazeale tried to clear 12-6
and almost made it on the first
of his three tries.
Grants Pass collected seven
seconds to boast its cause in
the two-mile, the 880, the hurd
les, the vault, the mile, the
broad jump and the high jump
The Cavemen had thirds in the
440 and the shot put and got a
fourth in the discus. Medford
got seconds in the javelin and
shot, third in the high jump and
fourth in the distance medley.
It failed to place in the 880 and
discus.
The trophy, donated by Med

turi, a San Francisco amateur
with a heart as stout as a giant
redwood, lost a four-stroke lead
to Cary Middlecoff Saturday but
grabbed it back in a near gale
to go into the final round of the
Masters golf tournament still
very much the top boy.
The wind was blowing 40
miles an hour but neither storm
nor the terrific pressure on the
tortuous Augusta National back
stretch dismayed the 24-year-old
Californian. He saved his lead
with a 75 although he had jump
ed up to 40 on his first nine.
And in the end it was Middle
coff who cracked, coming up to
the 18th hole after a labored
round and needing only a par to
stay within hot breath distance
of Venturi in tomorrow's payoff.
Instead, he miserably three
putted after getting out of a
trap for a double bogey six and
again fell four strokes back.
Middlecoff also wound up with
j a 75 although he had gone out in
I 35 to Venturi's 40 and early in
! the second nine was tentatively
I two strokes ahead.

Medford Baseballers
With Big 3rd Frame
Ashland high's Grizzlies mass
ed their scoring punch in the
third inning Friday to trim the
Medford Black Tornado, 3 to 2,
in a Southern Oregon Confer
ence baseball game here.
It was the second win of the
week for Ashland over Medford
and preserved unbeaten lead in
the loop for the Grizzlies.
All of Ashland's runs came in
the third frame. The Lithians
got their scores on singles by
Phil Sword, Mark Fitch and Don
Simpson and on a base on balls
and fielder's option.
Medford gained one of its
markers in the third canto when
Larry Perkins got on base on an
error and Larry Gober slugged a
tremendous three - bagger into
center field. Perkins broks stitch
es in his hand in his effort to get
on base. Roger Gallacci replaced
him and scored the run. The
other Medford counter was in
the fourth frame on two errors,
a fielder's choice, a sacrifice by
Ray Hilton and a single by
Gordon Owsley.
Mark Fitch and Gene Parent
teamed on the mound to allow
the Black Tornado only three
hits. Gallacci got one off Parent
in the seventh inning. Parent
had taken over for Fitch after
Owsley's sock in the fourth.
Each of the Lithia hurlers fanned
three Medford batsmen. Fitch
walked three and Parent one.
Medford Chucker Henry Put
ney was in serious trouble only
in' the third inning. Ashland bat
ters were retired in order in
three stanzas. Two Ashlanders
reached base with two out on
singles in the fifth inning but
a flyout ended thre threat.
A double play unassisted by
Medford Second Baseman Ron
Peery cleared the bags and re
tired the Ashland batters in the
seventh. Bob Alley had singled
and had stolen second. Cotton
lined to Peery who stepped on
the base for the other out, catch
ing Alley off.
Putney struck out three bat
ters and walked just one.
No man got more than one
hit.

Board Tables
Segregation
Proposal
Baton Rouge, La, (U.R) The
Louisiana State Universiay Board
of Supervisors refused to act on
a move today made by a pro
segregation leader to ban mixed
athletic events of LSU at home
or away.
The board unanimously tabled
a resolution proposed by board
member J. Stewart Slack of
Shreveport, La., executive of
the White Citizens' Councils As
sociation of Louisiana.
Although Slack agreed to de
fer action, he promised to bring
up his resolution again at the
next meeting of the board, prob
ably in May.
"I serve notice that I'll bring
my motion up again, if I'm still
living," he 6aid.
Slack said if the university
goes through with its present
policy of playing racially mixed "
teams, the University of Wiscon
sin will send Negroes to play In
the LSU stadium.
At its Feb. 18 meeting, the
board adopted, a policy which
okayed a home and football
match with Wisconsin.
Slack charged that Wisconsin
had Negro players and said, "the
National Association for the Ad
vancement of Colored People is
sure to bring one of them to play
in LSlFg stadium, if only to play
for two minutes.
"And I don't care if we never
play in a bowl game if it means
playing against coons," he said.
Slack was not present at a Feb.
18 meeting when the board
agreed not to ban mixed athletia
contests.
Verdict Goes
To Giambra
Syracuse, N Y. (U.R) Middle
weight Joey Giambra of Buffalo,
N.Y., said today his 10-round
victory over John L. Sullivan
of England gave him a new
stature for a climb back into
title contention.
"I've shaken off the rustiness
from two years in the Army, and
I'd like to have a title shot by
the end of the year if I make
a good showing in my next
fights," the flashy 24-year-old
boxer said after a unanimous
decision Friday night over Sul
livan. "I was a little too light for the
fight and I felt the difference,"
Giambra said. He wieghed 156U
to Sullivan's 161.
'Out of Book'
Giambra used a style, de
scribed by Sullivan as "'right
out of the book" in the national
ly televised bout at War Mem
orial auditorium.
Giambra, using a strong left
hook and a stand-up style, won
the first round on the cards of
the referee and judges, but Sul
livan's pressing attack to the
ropes cost Giambra the second
round on all three cards.
Referee Harry Kessler, had to
separate the fighters only a
couple of times during the fight
v.
