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

school in the state tournament

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.

Br JACK CUDDY
United Press Sports Writer
Los Angeles U.R) The
weather and the betting are un
settled for tonight's return mid
dleweight title fight between
Sugar Ray Robinson and Carl
(Bobo) Olson at Wrigley Field.
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

women's amateur championship

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.
