    John Landy
Might Call
Off Jaunt
New York (U.R) The Na
tional AAU hustled today to
straighten out the confusion sur
rounding John Landy's proposed
trip to the United States before
the strong-minded Australian
star decides to call the whole
thing off.
"If the argument isn't cleared
up in a few days, I'll scrap the
trip," said Landy, holder of the
world mile record of 3:58.0, In
Melbourne.
"These seemingly unneces
sary arguments upset me," said
Landy. "They take all the fun
out of running."
Cancellation of Landy's plans
to run in California on May 5 at
Los Angeles and M ay 12 at
Fresno would be a heavy blow
to those meets. AAU President
Carl Hansen promised to move
fast and said an official Invita
tion to Landy would be dis
patched Immediately.

The Wilson dope came in a fancy

very convenient for filing.
Boros, who turned profession
al in 1949 after posting a 135

fourth in the Masters, knotted
for fifth in the U.S. open and
was fifth in the Western open.
His big previous victories were

World Championship.
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.
SHELDON MOVES HERE
Jim Sheldon, a lop contend
er in a number of golf tourna
ments here, is now playing
under the banner of the Rogue
Valley Country club. Sheldon
formerly played out of Salem.
He's associated with General
Credit service here.
