A torrid :50.0 time by sopho more quarter-miler Mike Russell, a :14.9 high hurdles romp by Junior Wally Larson, a sizzling 1:31.7 by the Tornado relay com bine and a dead heat half-mile by junior Les Lir.gscheit and so phomore Bilbee Lane were the highlijhts as Medford amassed 102 points. Ashland finished with 25 4 and Crater with 23 Vi in the triangular engagement. Medfordites won 11 of the 14 events and in eight the Tornado victors turned in the best meet narks of the season for them selves or for the school. Crater picked up two first places and Ashland one. The fine teams were recorded despite the fact that a consider able breeze blew against the runners on the finish stretch for most events. Best Since Rigg Russell, fastest prep quarter miler in Oregon at last report, ran his lap in the best time for a Medfordite since a :50.3 turned in by Rich Riggs, a 1949 grada ate of the school. Yesterday's :50.5 also ties the best effort as a sophomore of Ray Johnson, ex- jvieaiora, wno set tne state mark of :49.5 in 1940. Larson was the day's only dou ble victor, taking both the 120 high and 180-yard low hurdles.

Larson, Pete Kershaw, Russell and Mike Hawkins team in the half-mile relay and their mark was just .5 of a second of the 1:31.2 state standard held by Medford. In the 880-yard run Lane passed Lingscheit in the final stretch after trailing through the race and from then it was a ding dong battle to the twine. The time was the tops for each of them in a regular track meet this year. Mike Hawkins came through with another best with a :10.1 time in The 100-yard dash and Jerry Close leaped 21 feet 3 inches for the season's top meet distance.

Other triumphs for the Torna do were posted by Neil Plumley with 53 feet 1 inch in the shot put and Lew Breazeale with 11 feet in the pole vault. Breazeale was the day's casualty, taking a bad spill in his event. Coach Bob N e w 1 a n d , who accompanied Lewie to the hospital for a check, said that the vaulter broke two front teeth and bit his lip in addition to having his "wind" knocked out. The men tor said, however, that Breaz eale was "okeh." Ray Cochran took the high jump for Crater at a measured 5 feet 11 inches and Jack Lilly won the discus for the Comets at 135-4. Stewart Baker, Ash land's dash man, who has been a top runner in the area for sev eral years, won the 220-yarder in :23 flat. He finished only fourth in the 100. Medford captured first and second places in eight of the events and had one tie for sec ond to go with another first. The relay, like the meet, was stricty no contest, Medford was so far ahead.
