Favored Black Tornado Squad
Bound for State Track Hassle
Iff Medford high in the fa
vored role again as the peren
nial champion Black Tornado
headed for Corvallis today to
defend its championship in the
Oregon state track and field
meet at Corvallis.
A crew of 12 Tornado stal
warts left Medford at 11 a.m.
today. They'll begin their efforts
at noon on Friday to protect
the crown that Medford has cop
ped for three consecutive years.
Preliminaries in both A-l and
A-2 state meets are billed for
Friday with the finals to get
underway at noon on Saturday.
Medford triumphed in the dis
trict meet at Klamath Falls last
week end and gained 12 lspots
in the state A-l struggle. Coach
Bob Newland last night pro
nounced his Tornado cohorts In
"fine fettle" for their big as
signment with the possible ex
ception of Les Lingscheit.
Lingscheit, who has the best
half-mile time in the state this
season at 1:59.6, has a pulled
achilles tendon. It won't be
known for sure whether he'll
run at Corvallis until just about
race time Saturday. Newland
thinks he'll be able to go but
whether he'll be able to perform
up to par is something else again.
The 880 man said that the in
Jury probably occurred when he
started into his sprint in the dis
trict meet. He danced at the
prom Saturday night and didn't
notice anything was wrong until
Sunday, he reported. Lingscheit
was on crutches Monday and
Tuesday to aid recovery from
the ailment.
Others Medford has on the
state meet squad are Wally Lar
son in both hurdles and the re
lay; Jerry Close in the broad
jump; Neil Plumley in the shot
put; Dave Johnson in the high
jump; Eldon Francis in the jave
lin; Lew Breazeale in the pole
vault; Mike Russelr- in the 440
and relay; Bilbee Lane in the
880; Hike Hawkins in the 100-
yard dash and relay; Pete Ker

In Preakness
Baltimore (U.PJ The field for
the 80th run of the Preakness
Stakes at Pimlico Saturday will
comprise no more than nine
thoroughbreds unless some un
, decided owners have a last min-1
ute change of heart.
As of today the field should
be made up of Needles, the
prohibitive choice, Fabius, Count
Chic, Come On Red, Golf Ace,
Eiffel Blue, No Regrets, Fleet
Peet and Ratheram.
Assorted Scratched
The Llangollen Farm's Assort
ed and the Christiane Stable's
Ricci Tavi were the latest elegi
bles to be withdrawn. Assorted,
who won the Preakness Prep
here on Monday, was scratched
by Trainer Oscar Mackey. The
colt has a bowed tendon, prob
ably incurred in Monday's test,
Ricci Tavi, never seriously
considered a starter, definitely
will not start in the mile and
- three-sixteenths classic. Trainer
Henry Clark said it would not
be fair to put the colt up against
the top three-year-olds when he
wasn't in his best shape. Ricci
Tavi finished second to Assorted
In the Preakness Prep.

Cavekids Capture Diadem
In Freshman Track Meet
Grants Pass piled up 172 points
yesterday to score an over
whelming triumph in the South
ern Oregon Freshman District
Track meet at the Medford sen
ior high stadium.
McLoughlin junior high ninth
graders of Medford were a dis
tant second with 77 and Hedrick
of Medford was third with
71 13. Klamath Falls tallied 70
and Crater 29 23.
The Cavekids collected five
first places and tied for two

McLoughlin had three firsts and

in two events and shared top
spot in another. Klamath Falls
was victor in one contest and

John Saxton
Wins by TKO
Over Turner
Chicago (U.R) Middle
weight Gil Turner lost his own
fight when he was brash enough
to tell how he could beat welter
weight Champion Johnny Sax-
ton, the happy victor said today.
"He said Til beat Saxton, if
he don't run'," Saxton said, "So
I just stayed in there against the
ropes and ducked and blocked
the, punches he threw until he
got tired, and then I moved
around and went to work."
Saxton's battle plan worked so
perfectly that he gained a tenth
round technical knockout vic
tory over one of. the four men
who have beaten him in 58 pro
fights, avenging his defeat by
Turner with a split decision June
15, 1953, a result which ended
Saxton's string of 39 wins and a
draw which began his pro
career.
The bout was stopped by Illi
nois Boxing Commission physic
ian Irving N. Slott, who refused
to Jet Turner come out for the
tenth.
"When he took out his mouth
piece," Slott said, "he brought
up about a cup of blood."
Turner earlier was bleeding
from a cut on the right eyebrow.
which he suffered in the ' first
round, and in the ninth he began
to bleed from a slash on the
point of his nose as well as from
his mouth.
Slott found tonsil lacerations
on Turner, as well as some pin
point abrasions, in an examina
tion after the fight. Turner's
manager, George Katz, com
plained bitterly about the result
of the battle, claiming the bout
was stopped by "incompetents."
When the bout ended, with
Saxton's 51st victory, he was
ahead on the card of Referee
Frank Sikora, 87-85, and on the
card of Judge Marovitz, 87-84
while Judge Frank Clark had
Turner the leader, 88-86. It was
Turner's 11th loss in 62 pro bat-ties.

Red Raiders
Contend in
OCC Scuffle
Ashland Southern Oregon
college Red Raider track team
heads for La Grande this week
end to defend the Oregon Col
legiate conference champion
ship which it won last year at
Klamath Falls.
i Eastern Oregon college, which
the Raiders upset last year to
win the championship, is favor
ed to take the crown this time.
Southern Oregon college is fig
ured to give the closest opposi
tion. The Red Raiders do not have
the first place strength that they
had in winning last year, when
they set six conference records.
Only returning winner in last
year's meet is Chuck Crandall in
the 880, and his best time is not
as good as some others in the
conference.
Best chances for wins by the
Raiders are by Earl James, Bill
Hollingsworth and Dick Gustaf
son. James has the best times in
the conference in the 100, 220,
and 440, and whatever events he
runs in he should win. Bill Hol
lingsworth set a new school rec
ord in the pole vault this week
with a 12 foot mark, and could
win that event. He may also sur
prise in the high jump where he
has consistently been clearing 6
feet, and should go higher.
Gustafson could surprise in
the distance races, where he has
already set two new school rec-,
ords.
The Red Raiders' main
strength is jn depth. By picking
up enough seconds, thirds and
fourths, they may give the
Mountaineers of Easter Oregon
a close battle.
Last Monday the Raiders clos
ed out their dual meet season
with an easy win over Oregon
Tech, beating them 85-46. James
and Hollingsworth and Dick
Smith were double winners for
the Raiders, as was Andrews
for the Techmen. Bill Hollings
worth set the record in the pole
vault in clearing 12 feet, break
ing his old record set earlier
this year at 11 feet 9 inches.
16-yard shoot. Also on Saturday
will be the Chester Wood handi
cap and 25 pairs of doubles. Fol
lowing the 16-yard action Sun
day will be the $300 Medford
handicap and another 25 pairs
of doubles.' '
A trophy will go to the high
overall shooter on the two day's
500 targets. There will also be a
five-man team shoot with scores
taken from Sunday 16-yard and
handicap competitions.
The Mail Tribune trophy was
placed in contention in 1930. No
shoots were held in the war
years 1942 through 1945. "

WEATHER MAN EASES
MIND OF RAY ROBINSON
. Los Angeles (U.R) The
weather man today promised
Sugar Ray Robinson some relief
from the heat when he climbs
into the ring about sunset Fri
day to defend his middleweight
title against Carl (Bobo) Olson
at Wrigley Field.
"Cooler but no rain" was the
Weather Bureau's forecast for
the fight-of-the-year.
Sugar Ray has a horror of
heat because of. his collapse in
the 14th round on June 25th,
1952, while trying to take the
light-heavyweight crown from
Joey Maxim. The temperature
that night in Yankee Stadium
was 104 degrees. '
, The 35 -year -old champion,
who scurried out of his camp at
San Jacinto, Calif., Wednesday
because of the baking heat, was
relaxing today at the home of
friend Bill Townsend in cooler
Brentwood, a suburb of Los An
geles. -' . , -
Co-manager Ernie Braca ex
plained, "It was in the mid-90s
at San Jacinto yesterday." San
Jacinto is 80 miles southeast of
Los Angeles. Ironically, the tem
perature here at Wrigley Field
at noon Wednesday was 99, a
record breaker for May 16.
Meanwhile Robinson continu
ed a 13-10 betting favorite to
win the nationally televised and
broadcast 15-rounder, and he was
favored at 2-1 in a poll of 24
