Bill Bowerman, head track coach at University of Oregon, informed Kiwanians and members of the Medford High track team yester day at a luncheon at the Jack son hotel. The citizens of Pakistan want a great country and they have a democratic nation, Bowerman reported. Speaking on his exper iences while en a U. S. State De partment assignment to Pakistan last winter, the Oregon track mentor said that the Pakistani "are good people to have on our side and they definitely are on our side." Bowerman was principal speaker at the luncheon at which members of the Kiwanis club were hosts to members of the track team, state prep cham pions, and their coach, Bob New land. He presented to Newland the metropolitan division Hay ward relays trophy the Medford team won in April. Another guest was Leo Harris, University of Oregon athletic director. Athletics Means Track The word, "athletics," means just track and field in Pakistan and a number of other countries, not a large group of sports as it does in this country, Bowerman reported. Sent to Pakistan to work with athletes in prepara tion for the Olympic games, the Oregon tutor indicated that he saw few trackmen of world class. He said the athletes of that coun try expected to accomplish in a few weeks what nas laKen u Bears Boost Leadership In NW Loop By UNITED PRESS Big Herman Lewis' eight R BI's in the nightcap, preceded by Don Boenker's-four-hit pitching in the opener gave league-leading Vakima a double win over Salem and a one-game increase in its margin over the rest of the Northwest loop last night. While the Bears were win ning, 2-1 and 12-8, second place Lewiston was splitting with Wenatchee, 2-4 and 10-9. The Spokane-Tri City game was postponed because of rain. Yakima now leads the North west circuit by three and one half games. An unearned run in the sixth inning of the abbreviated first game at Salem was all Boenker needed to get his win. Two er rors and two sacrifice hits ac counted for the victory margin. Orgy of Homers But the nightcap was an orgy of home runs two of them by Lewis who got five for five at the plate. The contest also fea tured a brawl in the final inning that saw Salem- . rightfielder Chuck Essegian thrown-out . of ' the game. " Essegian made some history by belting one of the longest home runs ever hit in Salem's Waters Field in the first inning. Bob Esterbrook nocked a two- run homer in the eighth inning and singled home two more in the Senators' desperate last in ning rally. Charlie Brummond who had provoked Essegian with a fastball duster, was the winner: Marion Cowdell was charged with the loss. HOCKEY COACH QUITS Cleveland U.R) Fred (Bun) Cook, who has served as coach of the Cleveland Barons of the American Hockey League for 13 years, has resigned from the post.

A great number of American athletes bow out of competition around the age of 24 and 25. Bowerman's coaching at a col lege in Jahore. however, gave him one chance to work with teachers who'll tutor athletes of the future in Pakistan. Last three weeks of the Ore gon mentor were at an Army cantonment where athletes had gathered to train for Olympic trials. At that camp were several athletes with "native" or natural sprinting ability. Sprints present the possibility for Pakistan to win a gold medal in the Olympic track events, according to Bow erman. He mentioned one hurd ler who is in world class. Newland introduced the mem bers of the track team.

That gives Gifford 26 rides ta, the winner's circle to 24 for Zollinger. Gifford had to boot home three winners Sat urday to overtake the perennial Meadows jockey champ, but did that while Zollinger was unable to capture a single race. - A. J. (Dutch) Brananberg wid ened his lead as the top trainer with two more winners during the last week to boost his total for the meeting to 10. That's four better than J. W.

Boyd TKO's Savage in 10th Round Chicago (U.R) Visions of a title chance danced through the head of middleweight Bob by Boyd today like Christmas plums, but both Gene Fullmer and Tiger Jones rated as poten tial thorns in the pie before the Chicago battler gets a chance at Sugar Ray Robinson. Boyd, 22, punched out his ninth straight victory Wednes day night, gaining a tenth round knockout over Milo Savage, Salt Lake City, to avenge his last previous defeat, April 18, 1955. Both Jones and Fullmer were brought up as possible oppon ents by the International Box ing Club's Truman Gibson, who said that Robinson would con fer today with IBC President James D. N orris about his fu ture plans. Bruised Rib Boyd got a minor break in beating Savage. Savage plunged through the ropes to the floor in the fourth round and suffered a bruised floating rib. This handicapped him the rest of the way and he winced vis- bly whenever Boyd landed on his left side. Still Boyd put him down for a count of one with a right to the head in the ninth round and in the tenth he land ed steadily with jabs before he put home a left-right combina tion which put Savage down mo mentarily again. Referee Joey White stopped the brawl then, holding Savage in his corner to prevent him from returning to combat after 27 seconds.

PCC Prexies To Revaluate League Rules By HAL WOOD San Francisco (U.R) Is the Pacific Coast Conference on its way out as a major football power? On the heels of the startling disclosures of athletic corrup tion in the big schools, followed by charges and counter-charges being hurled from one institu tion to another, the PCC presi dents have called a conference for June 18 at Berkeley. "It is for a much overdue realistic evaluation of the PCC rules," says' Dr. Henry Schmitz, University of Washington presi dent. While Dr. Robert Gordon Sproul of University of Califor nia and UCLA; Dr. Wallace Sterling of Stanford and other leaders always have maintained that big-time sports are an im portant part of a major institu tion's curriculum, there is a growing belief that the school leaders believe that the football situation has got out of hand. Nasty Word There isn't a school president in the loop who would consider uttering such a nasty word as "de-emphasis," but there is a strong possibility that the educa tional leaders may put-on such a clamp on recruiting of athletes that the results will be the same. Dr. Sproul hinted as much sev eral weeks ago when, after a meeting of the ' president, he said: "We don't know the right an swer for handling the athletic situation. Maybe the Ivy League, with Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Penn and the others have the right idea." He added ' also that maybe such other leagues as the South eastern Conference, or the South west Conference, might be on the right track. Blessing For Soma If the loop leaders decided to quietly de-emphasize, it would turn out to be a blessing for such conference "have not" schools as Idaho, Washington State and Oregon State. It also would distribute the balance of power throughout the intermountain country, with such schools as Utah, BYU, Utah State, Idaho State, Arizona aad Arizona (Tempe) State luring a flock of young stars from the West Coast to get their educa tion in the inland country. However, even if such a pro gram finally is decreed, it would take a couple of years for the caliber of the game to fall off, because the top athletes already are enrolled at PCC schools with prospects for the best over all strength in history looming for the next two campaigns. ARMY CALLS PLAYER Detroit (U.R) Right-handed pitcher Tom Sharkey, 23, a De troit Tigers' farmhand at Augus ta, Ga., has been called into the Army.

The Sacramento Solons in- particular were ' Using these nicknames today after absorb ing 17-7 and 5-0 lickings at the hands of the Angels last night. The Angels picked up ground on the whole league as San Francisco fought back to take the second game of a day-night doubleheader from second place Seattle 4-3 after losing the first game 3-2. t. In single games Portland pushed San Diego farther from the first division with a 3-2 win and Hollywood picked on Van couver 4-1. ' i Los Angeles blasted off on four Solon pitchers in the first game with Jim Bolger hitting two home runs and Piper Davis one. Six Sacramento errors add ed to the 15 Angel hits just about settled it after the fourth in ning. ' Thorpe Takes Over In the second game Bob Thorpe held the Sacs to four singles and drove in the first run himself in blanking the third place club. Gene Mauch homered for the league leaders. Seattle had to go 10 innings to win the opener after scoring two in the first. The Seals got them back, one on Marty Keough's home run, but in the tenth Milt Smith doubled in the tie-breaker. San Francisco could do nothing against Elmer Singleton, who picked up his eighth win of the year. In' the- nightcap the Rainiers went ahead 3-2 in the seventh Art Schallock's squeeze bunt with the bags full being the go- ahead tally.
