Bowerman Describes Assignment
In Pakistan at Kiwanis Luncheon
Honoring Medford
Pakistani people are much like
Americans in ambition. 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

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.

years in the United States to do.
Many of the athletes were "too
old." he said, ranging in age
from 24 to 40. 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.

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.

most was 49-year old Henry Cot

Cotton is taking dead aim on
the U.S. Open title for the first
time in 25 years. He shot one of
the nations best qualifying
scores in the U.S. open trials on
Monday and followed it up
Wednesday with a 34-32 66 to
lead all the pros in a tune-up for
tne opening of the round robin
today.
Snead hits trouble right away
in his first round against Gene
Littler of Singing Hills, Calif-
Ted Kroll of Fort Lauderdale,
Fla., and Fred Hawkins of El
Paso, Tex., in this unique match-
medal' play event in which
points are won or lost by com
paring scores in each foursome.
The field of 16 is divided into
four different foursomes for
each round and the player with
the highest point total wins the
tournament. '
Cotton's first opponents were
Tommy Bolt of Houston, Tex.,
Bob Rosburg of San Francisco,

He and Snead won't tangle until
