BEDFORD THINCLADS
IN 3-WAY SCUFFLE
Medford High'i cinder-sweeping
Black Tornado not only blaz
ed with another rousing presen
tation of its track and field
power here yesterday afternoon
but improved on its previous
performances as it trounced Ash
land and Crater thinclads by an
overwhelming margin.
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.

His :14.9 was his best of the sea
son in the highs and his :20.5 low
stick time wag just .1 of a sec
ond off his top effort for 1956.
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.
Eldon Francis, state champion
javelin thrower won his special
ty with his farthest heave in
1956 competition, 182-5. Also
"best" for the year was Wilcey
Winchell's 4:46 mile.
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. Hawkins gave Lar
son a good race in the low hur
dles until he appeared to have
lost stride on one of the barriers.
