TEN MEDFORD XOREOON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, May II, 19SB Tornado Favored in District 6 A-1 At Klamath Falls Field on Saturday Medford high school track and field men head for Klamath on Saturday intent on capturing the fourth consecutive district championship for the Elack Tor nado. Tornado cindermen have col lected the district bunting each season since 1952 when Grants Pass took the title. Medfordites also have taken the first place trophy 10 out of, 13 years. Desirous as it is, the champ ionship, nevertheless, will be a econdary goal. Main objective of Saturday's District 6 A-1 en gagement will be to qualify a large number of thinclads for next week's state meet at Cor- vallis. The Tornado's aim in qualify ing will be to gain sufficient strength to hang onto its state mantle. Klamath Falls, Ashland and Grants Pass will attempt to get sufficient qualifiers to threat en Medford's state supremacy. On the basis of season records Medford goes into the Klamath hassle the big favorite with Grants Pass rated the Tornado's chief contender. All four schools, the smallest field in A school eliminations in this area in at least many years, will be hoping for a fast track and sunny weather, condi tions favorable for an assault on the record book. Season per formances, particularly by the potent Medford club, give strong indication that some records will fall if the weather cooperates. Four Marks Bettered District marks in four events have been bettered by Tornado stalwarts meets this season and the Medford scantclads have dis played a tendency of week by week improvement. If that tend ency continues into the Satur day fray, marks may fall even under adverse conditions. District standards have been Vaten by Lew Breazeale in the pole vault, Wally Larson in the low hurdles, Neil Plumley in the shot put and by Les Lings sheit, Bilbee Lane and Wilcey Winchell in the half-mile. Lar on in the low hurdles and the Medford relay team of Larson, Pete Kershaw, Mike Russell and Mike Hawkins have run in only .1 second over the district mark. Coach Bob Newland said that a squad of 33 Medfordites will make the jaunt to Klamath Falls. A complete roster, show ing the exact line-up of Tornado participants in the meet, was not available from the mentor since performers in some spots still were not. decided. Kershaw, Christean Bid The coach indicated that his ierew is at near full strength phy sically. Newland reported that Kershaw and Loren Christean looked great in time trials of the quarter-mile this week and said, "They may be right up there pushing Mike Russell of Medford and Tom Farrell of Klamath on Saturday."

Passenger Cars Should Not Try Fish Lake Trip Fishermen should not at tempt to drive passenger cars into Fish lake this week end. That is the advise of Lloyd Morris, proprietor of the lake resort. He said, however, that trucks or pick-up trucks should be able to make it to the lake. It is the last Vi miles of road into the lake that spell trouble for passenger vehicles, Morris stated. Dead Indian and McAllister Springs roads are in good shape and passen ger cars can get within IVi miles of the lake. From that point on there are a number of holes too deep for vehicles other than trucks. The forest service had in tended to fix up the road into Fish lake prior to the week end influx of anglers. But yesterday's storm of rain and snow delayed the work and it may be the first of the week before the bad spots are pass able. Butte Falls road is rough, according to Morris, and Cole Rivers, Game Commission bi ologist, said that route is prac tically impassable. Road into Willow lake is good, Morris stated. Ground is muddy around the parking area. Fishing was good there yesterday. The resort proprie tor mentioned that most of the anglers who did get through to Fish lake yesterday took Aeir limits. Trolling with .ford fend ers and worms and still fishing with single eggs produced the best results. For a GUARANTEED GOOD USED CAR Before You Buy Be Sure To Look the Lot Over at . . .
