Needles Still Favored To Take Derby Louisville, Ky. (U.R) C. V. Whitney tested his strong Ken tucky Derby one-two punch at Churchill Downs today when Head Man started in an 11-horse field in the 19th running of the $10,000 added Derby trial and Career Bov tried an injured foot In a mile and one-quarter work out. Thp size cf the startine field in Saturday's 82nd and richest running of the $125,000 added Kentucky Derby apparently de fended upon the outcome of each tryout. Officials at Church hill Downs still listed 24 horses as possible starters for Satur day's race. Needles remained the favorite even though the headstrong colt hat refused to work out on each of the four occasions when Trainer Hugh Fontaine sent him onto the track. Fontaine said he would not try anymore. Manv of the trainers, how ever, watched the Whitney colts perform before deciding whether or not their colts will run in America's premier horse race. For Head Man and Career Boy are rated the strongest threats to upset Needles, the stretch running son of Ponder who earned the role of favorite with eome-from-behlnd victories in the Flamingo Stakes and Flori da Derby. Teams Muff Lead Chance By UNITED PRESS Linfield and Pacific both had a chance to move into sole lead ership of the Northwest Confer ence yesterday and both muffed the opportunity. The Badgers and Wildcats both had double headers slated yesterday. A clean sweep by either club would have given the league a lone pace setter but both kept pace by splitting their schedules. Only two time winner in the loop yesterday was Wil lamette with 8-4 and 22-1 wins over College of Idaho at Cald well, Ida. At Walla Walla, Linfield took the opener 8-4 with a four run barrage in the top of the ninth. In the nightcap Whitman scored three times in the fifth and once in the sixth to wrap up a 5-3 win in the seven-inning contest. Pacific scored at will in its opener with Lewis and Clark yesterday at Portland, piling up a 15-4 decision. In th finale the score was nearly as great but with the Pioneers on the long end of a 13-4 finish. Jack McCloskey New Penn Coach ' Philadelphia (U.R) Jack Mc Closkey, assistant basketball coach at the University of Penn sylvania, will take over as head coach next season to succeed Kay Stanley, who resigned be cause of the pressure of outside business. Stanley, a former Penn bas ketball star and one-time head coach at Lafayette, served two years at his alma mater. His Quaker team tied for the Ivy league title in the 1954-55 sea son and tied for second place behind Dartmouth this year. Stanley had replaced Howie Dallmar, who went to Stanford as head coach in 1954. Stanley's resignation and Mc Closkey's promotion were an nounced jointly Monday by Ath letic Director Jeremiah Ford, who thanked . Stanley for "an excellent job" and called the 1954-55 Penn quintet "one of the great teams In Red and Blue history." Portland Beats Oregon College Monmouth (U.R) The Uni versity of Portland utilized the middle innings to do all of its scoring here yesterday in hand ing Oregon College a 5-3 base ball setback. The Pilots scored two runs in each the fourth and fifth innings and then added a final tally in the sixth. Len Ferrell sparked the Pilots at the plate, going two for five for the day and slamming out a round trip blow.

Albany, Seaside, Vale, Cougars Take Fifth Game By UNITED PRESS Washington State continued to set the pace in the Northern Division today as the Cougars racked up their fifth straight counting win of the season at Corvallis yesterday with a 7-5 win over Oregon State. In other action Idaho made the most of eight hits and squeezed by Washington 9-8 at Seattle. George Plummer turned in a neat six-hit performance on the mound for the Cougars yester day against OSC, then slammed a three-run triple in the fifth inning to lead his mates to the win. The two clubs went into the fifth tied at 1-1 after WSC scored first in the third and the Beavers matched it in the fourth. The Cougars took a four run lead in the fifth, though, with Plummer's bases loaded triple and an OSC miscue. At Seattle, Washington outhit the Vandels, 12-6, but lost the game in the last of the- ninth when a rally fizzled out with the tying and winning runs on base. PEE WEE JAMES Midget on Card Midgets Tussle On Season End Wrestling Card Grants Pass Last big card of the spring season will ex plode at the Grants Pass wrest ling arena Wednesday night when Matchmaker Elton Owen presents four of the famous wrestling midgets as a special attraction in addition to the reg ular card Ivan The Terrible, who sports a full beard, will team up with Otto Bowman against Tiny Roe and Pee Wee James.

Extra seats will be installed as a big crowd is expected. The main event on the card will see Larry Chene swinging back into action against Dirty Doug Donovan. Chene currently holds the Pacific Coast Jr. Heavy Belt. His opponent, Don ovan, lost a close one to Ricky Waldo last week. Donovan is fast, rough and experienced.

Vancouver Mounties, 14-5, In a contest that was delayed 40 min- utes because Umpires Cordic Ford and Ccecil Carlucci appar ently got their schedules crossed A pair of local arbitrators were called from 'their homes to supervise the game. George Bamburger started for the Mounties, but was replaced by loser Ernie Funk when he developed a sore arm. Funk gave up three hits, one error and a wild pitch in the second inning and was replaced by Jim Mc Donald. However McDonald had the going pretty rough, too. Floyd Robinson sparked the seven-run second inning with a grandslam homer for the Padres, and the visitors got five more runs off McDonald in the fifth frame on a walk, three hits, an error and an infield grounder. Whitey Quintana homered to lead a three-run rally for the Mounties in the fifth and Van couver sent Charlie Drummong to the mound in the sixth, but the Padres added two more runs on two hits, a walk and an er ror.

Sites for Reserve Units Are Studied Portland U.R) Oregon mili tary district officers said today they were having trouble locat ing sites for two proposed re serve training centers in Port land. The centers, and others in Oregon, are contingent upon a request by the Army for $1,572, 000 from Congress. Other re serve centers would be a 100 man structures at Medford, Coos Bay and Roseburg and 200-man structures at Eugene and Cor vallis. Col. Robert C. White, senior Army adviser at Oregon mili tary district headquarters at Vancouver barracks, said the Army was fairly sure of sites for the upstate centers but that efforts to find locations for the 400-man Portland centers had been in vain thus far. Zoning restrictions have been the major problem, he said. Next is objections from resi dents who he said "do not real ize that modern reserve training centers are attractive structures built along the lines of the latest primary schools." Several sites in the Medford area are being considered for a reserve training center here, ac cording to local officials. The center, which is not expected to be constructed for possibly two years, will be used by all local reserve units. Buy At Builders Supply QUALITY BLOCKS Bricks. Flues Drain Tile W.

Riverside Phone 2-7119 ylf-i T M Here's What We Do L 1 Discusses Criticisms of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce were discussed by several mer chants from outlying county areas and chamber officers yes terday at the weekly roundtable meeting at the Jackson hotel. The chief complaint voiced by rural area merchants was that the chamber is devoting too much time to promoting Medford interests instead of serving the entire county. Chamber 'Complacent' Howard Norwood, Rogue Riv er, said the chamber had been "complacent" toward cooperat ing with the Rogue River Basin Flood Control and Water Re sources association that was studying means of flood control. Otto Ewaldsen, president of the chamber, said that no official invitation had ever been ex tended to the group, but that they" were willing to contribute to any such study, if invited, and that the chamber wanted to coordinate with the rest of the Jackson county business men as much as possible. Another question was, that if it is a county chamber of com merce, why weren't there more business men on it from outly ing districts? Ewaldsen answered that some of the hardest work ers in the chamber were from outlying districts. Jim Glenn, Central Point, de clared that the chamber is not really a county organization, since a committee was estab lished to investigate the Medford parking problem, and this should not be a concern of a county organiation. He continued that the cham ber has placed too much em phasis on the Pear Blossom fes tival, which only promotes Med ford and' not the whole county. The Pear Blossom festival should' be the concern of Medford mer chants, he said, not the chamber of commerce. In answering, Ewaldsen said in many instances the same men serve both as Medford merchants and on the chamber of com merce. Money for such commit tees, he said, are advanced by the Medford merchants, not by the chamber of commerce itself. He added that the Pear Blossom association is a separate organ ization from the chamber. A Jacksonville representative, Spaur Reports Pakistan Experimenting in Rubber Salem U.R) George Spaur, Oregon state forester from 1949 to 1955, reported in a letter here today Pakistan was experiment ing with growing rubber and had several small experimental plantations already under way. Spaur, who is now stationed in East Pakistan as adviser to the minister of forests, recently represented the United States at an international Jeakwood con ference in Bankok, Thailand. ...... i '.Sl.!&I'l. r-.-i Molded Plastic Air SPECIAL Mattress, Full size, - tf heavy gauge.

He said that with a little help from the cham ber on such landmarks as the Jacksonville cemetery and the museum, which alone attracts about 40,000 tourists a year, Boston Couple Buys Accordion Studio From H.
