TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, Mar 18. 1958 Black Tornado Eyes , Klamath Falls Games Intent and confident, but knowing they'll be up against a tough adversary, the Medford high baseballers travel to Klam ath Falls Saturday. Their ob jective is to tuck away the South ern Oregon Conference and Dis trict 6 A-l crowns. Medford and Klamaths Falls will meet in a doubleheader be ginning at 1:30 p.m. The Black Tornado carries a record of seven wins and three losses in the league into the twinbill and has the loop leader ship. Klamath, oh the other hand, is the conference cellarite with two victories and eight de feats. But the strange part about it is that Klamath's Pelicans are so far down in the circuit. The Pels appear to have the hitting power to win and pitching depth to go with the hitting. But the potential has produced few vic tories. That strength could erupt Saturday as the Pels, with no chance to rise from the bottom of the heap, nevertheless make a try to be a spoiler. Stature Greater ' Medford, which has risen as the southern Oregon leader arid a top club in the state after an uncertain start, will be favored to sweep the two games. The Tornado needs only one triumph to sew tip the circuit but will be trying extra hard in both games since a loss in both would force it into a championship play-off with the Grants Pass Cavemen. Coach John Kovenz said that Henry Putney probably will get the pitching call for the opener tomorrow. Ernie Tyler may go on the hill in the second ruckus. Others who could see mound duty are Duane Sides and Dick McLaughlin. Mentor Ray Coley of Klamath will pick his moundsmen from among Earle Tichenor, Mike Runge, Darrell Rusth and Mickey Carney. Plans previously were an nounced for an afternoon-night series at Klamath Falls. Kovenz nixxed the idea because the Black Tornado squad has not played under the lights this sea son. Victory over the Pelicans will send Medford into state quarter finals against Eugene or Rose burg. Quarter-finalist from this region will tackle Grant of Port land or The Dalles. MH Golfers Go To Meet The quartet of golfers who will represent Medford high school in the state tournament has been announced by Coach Paul Evensen. -- The four are Tom Hamlin, DickCopple, Phil Mongrain and Gary Harrington Tournament action is slated again for the Glendover course at Portland , on Monday and Tuesday with "18 holes each day. The players and. Evensen will leave here Sunday -morning for Portland. Black Tornado golfers tied for fifth place in last year's state encounter. WHY PAY MORE? FOR . . . J zJ U Ron P REPRINTS 5c PENNYWISE- 323 EAST MAIN Bowerman Teacher for Track Clinic By HAL WOOD United Pres Sports Writer San Francisco (U.R) The greatest collection of world renown track and field coaches ever to gather outside an Olym pics game will be in Berkeley, Calif., June 11-20, for the first international track and field clinic. Bud Winter, San Jose State coach and clinic chairman, said today that 15 nations already have agreed to send coaches and there were prospects that more would come. "We have so many coaches coming," said Winter, "that now we are wondering where we are going to house them. In addi tion to the foreign coaches, we expect about 500 college and high school coaches from United States to attend." Nothing of this nature ever before has been attempted in the coaching ranks. Mainly, of course, because only track and field and possibly tennis has such international appeal. Coaches Named Visiting foreign coaches al ready named to appear at the clinic are: Canada: Lloyd Percival, Tor onto, and Lloyd Swindells, Van couver. Sweden: Goster Holmer, dis tance running authority and former coach of Gunder Haag; and Sven Stromberg. Norway: Arne Nytro. Japan: Mikio Oda, expert in hop-step-and-jump. West Germany: Toni Nett. Pakistan: S h a r e e s Ahmad Khan. Guatamala: Agusto Robles. . Finland: Kaleuir Ramputti, coach of the army team. Italy: Gregorio Oberwager, great discus coach. Puerto Rico: Eugenio Guerra. Australia: Fran Stamfl. Trinidad, Iran, Haiti and Tur key also have agreed to send coaches, but so far haven't named the representative. This group will be joined in teaching at the clinic by the top American coaches, such as Jess Mortenson, USC; Chick Werner, Penn State; Bill Bowerman, Oregon; Cornelius Dutch Warm erdam, Fresno State; Bus Schi mek, Marquette; Oliver Jackson, Abilene Christian; Clyde Little field, Texas; George Eastmen, Manhattan; Ken Doherty, Penn sylvania, and Peyton Jordan, Occidental.

From Uncle Sam's bureau came the forecast of "cool, with possible light sprinkles." And from the Derby club at Las Vegas, Nev., came news of increased support for Olson that might cause a late switch and sending the baldish ex-champ into the ring favored to recap ture the 160-pound crown. "Our man-to-man price favor ing Robinson has just dropped from 13-10 to 12-10," said a spokesman at the Derby Club. "And some of our friends in the East are quoting even money. Olson may be favored at ring time." Show Must Go On Thirty-five-year-old Robinson of New York and 27-year-old Olson of San Francisco will start their nationally televised and broadcast 15-rounded at 10 p.m. EDT even if old Jupe Pluvius should be drenching the ballpark of the Los Angeles Angels. The sponsors paid $100,000 for the TV-radio rights, and the show must go on, according to the pro moters. The ring will be protect- CURTIS MATCHES SET New York (U.R) The U.S. Golf association will stage the 1958 Curtis Cup matches at the Brae .Burn Country Club in New,ton, Mass., and the 1958 women's amateur championship at the Wee Burn Country Club in Darien, Conn. ed by a canvas canopy. As the eight box offices opened at Wrigley Field today, directors of the Hollywood American Leg ion Stadium, who are promoting the fight, estimated the advance sale at $160,000. They were un certain if the weather would curtail the expected 17,500 fans and $200,000 gate, a record for California. Although Olson is a three-time loser to Sugar Ray in their trio of previous fights, he is robustly supported for this one because many boxing men believe champ ion Robinson's ancient legs will tire badly if the bout lasts more than seven rounds. Aggressive Bobo, who sets a blistering pace, was favored at 3-1 at Chicago Stadium last Dec. 9 because of his youth and stam ina and because Robinson had not been impressive while win ning five of his six previous comeback bouts. But Sugar Ray cut loose with a burst of head punches that knocked out Bobo at 2:51 of the second round and made Robinson the first man in ring history to recapture the middleweight crown twice, Quits Ring Retirement Sugar Ray, when welterweight ruler in February, 1951, wrested the middleweight crown from Jake LaMotta; but he lost it to Randy Turpin of England in July '51 and won it back from Turpin in Sept. '51. He gave up the title in '52 after collapsing in the 14th round of his attempt to win the light-heavyweight crown from Joey Maxim. He remained in retirement two years. The champion has been im pressive in training at San Ja cinto, Calif. He concentrated on keeping his sparmates at a dis tance with solid left jabs and nailing them with rights . when they attempted to flurry. But he was using inferior sparmates, Olson was less impressive at nearby Santa Monica as he bore into his mates and tried to belt their bodies while cramping their punching room. But he used main event fighters for sparmates. La Paz, Bolivia (U.R) Some 2,000 miners of the San Jose tin pits in Oruro went on strike Thursday demanding a 40 per cent pay raise. -.

CRATER, DOUGLAS HOLD A-2 DECIDER SATURDAY Central Point Crater high will be out to add the baseball title to its District 6 A-2 track championship Saturday. The Comet diamonders will be hosts to Douglas high in a play-off game here. Winner will enter the state A-2 quarter finals the following week end. Saturday game time is 2 p.m. The tussle could be the lELst of the season for the Comets on their home field and thereby also the. final appearance of three seniors, Catcher Harold Lefler, Outfielder Allen Gosnell and Outfielder - First Baseman John Shama. However, Crater, in its final effort as an A-2 competitor, still has state title aims and, should they get to the semi-final round of contention, that game would be here. Victor on Saturday likely will face Junction City in the quarter-finals and a win by the District 6 champ over the Tigers probably would mean a contest with Vale. Both Junc tion City and Vale are consid ered among the best in the state. Fred Herrman doubtless will be assigned the Crater mound duties. He's recognized as one of the leading twirlers in this section of the state. Probable pitcher for Douglas is Bob Gil- man who scattered eight hits last Monday as the Trojans beat Glendale 7 to 5. in the district's northern division play-off. Gilman has a 6-0 won-lost re cord for 42 13 innings of. toss ing. He has allowed just 10 hits and the hard throwing junior owns an earned run average of 1.25. Larry Bissenette leads Trojan - hitting with .444. Bill Rudzik has .382, Pete Amorde .364 and 'Jake Horn .292. Horn has been hitting in the clutch recently and collected a homer and a triple against Glendale. Crater is the defending dis trict titlist. The Comets were undefeated in six subdistrict games this season and gave a fine account of themselves in action with A-l schools. Raventcs Gains Higdon Award Eugene (U.R) John Raven tos, sophomore football tackle from Menlo Park, Calif., was named last night as winner of the Doyle Higdon memorial award, made annually to a soph ombre on the basis of scholar ship, citizenship and athletics. The award is named for Doyle Higdon, former Oregon student from Cottage Grove who was killed in a 1954 logging accident. VALIENTS GROUNDED London (U.R) The Royal Air Force grounded its three squadrons of Vickers Valiant jet bombers Thursday pending an investigation into last week's Valiant crash that killed three crewmen.
