"These seemingly unneces sary arguments upset me," said Landy. "They take all the fun out of running."

FEATHER IN CAP The ' Medford Lions club should be congratulated in be ing able lo bring the Jack Kramer tennis tour to Med-, ford. Four of the world's top tennis stars will perform at Hedrick junior high school gym on the night of May 28. They are Pancho Gonzales, Tony Traberi, Pancho Segura and Rex Hartwig. While Medford has never been especially noted as a "tennis town' valley residents probably will fill the gym to capacity in this, their first op portunity, to see the biggest names in the sport in action. Not only is the mere sign ing of the tour a feather in the Lions club's cap, but Med ford is the smallest city in which Kramer will take his lour this year. Medford high school track and field men this season are per forming their feats in shiny white new uniforms. They are attractive but somehow this writer is partial to the black jerseys and bright red trunks of previous years. The Tornado performers are not quite so easy to spot as they have been in past seasons. This department antici pates a suggestion just watch the man who's out in front.
