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

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.

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.

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,
