Eugene, moved closer I to first place. Eugene turned In 5-1 and 7-4 victories over Wenatchee to climb to within IVi games of league-leading Yakima. Salem continued its recent hot streak with an 8-1 decision over Spokane and Yakima edged Tri- City 3-2 in the other game. Eugene's 5-1 first game vic tory was fashioned on a two-hit ter spun Jointly by John Petula and Bill Griffin. Petula gave up one bingle in five innings and Griffin allowed the other hit in the final two frames. Petula was the winner. Three runs in. the eighth in ning made the difference in the nightcap. Manager Cliff Dapper bunted the eventual winning run home with the bases loaded and two more runs crossed later on singles. Bob Easterbrook was the big stick man for Salem. He belted a two-run homer In the fifth and followed with a three-run bound ary belt in the seventh. It proved plenty for Ad Sata- lich who scattered five Spokane hits and at one stage retired 17 hitters in order. Yakima tallied two runs in the second against Tri-City and got Its eventual winning run In the sixth on a double by reliable Herm Lewis and a single by Dick Renner.

The United States alone expects to send some 325 athletes to the 16th Olympiad in Melbourne, Australia, late this year. When the contestants of more than 70 countries are counted the total will reach into the thousands. But in spite of the fabulous spectacles of modern times, officials may find it hard to match the drama of the Greek extravaganzas. While exact figures are un known. It is probable that at their height the old games never had more then a few hundred competitors. Yet dynasties fell and rulers were deposed as a re sult of the scoring. First Recorded Winner The first Olympics in record ed history were held in 776 B.C., when one Coroebus won an award for victory in the equiva lent of a 200-yard dash. Earlier contests are shrouded in myth and legend. There are several stories of the origin of the games. One of the most provocative says that King Oenomaus, who ruled the Greek city of Elis and nearby Olympia, devised a grisly pas time. He decreed that his beau tiful daughter Hippodamia could be won as a bride by anyone who took her in a chariot and escaped her father pursuing in another chariot. If the suitor was caught he would be dispatched by the monarch's spear. Thirteen young men made the attempt in turn and were promptly skewered by Oeno maus. The 14th aspirant was a youthful warrior named Pelops. The legend says the crafty Pelops hired a charioteer to sabotage the king's vehicle. During the race, when Oeno maus was drawing dangerously close to elops' chariot, the wheel of his car came off and Oeno maus was killed In the follow ing crash. In celebration, Pelops is sup posed to have founded the games as a thanksgiving cere mony to Zeus for his triumph. Whatever their origin, the games lasted for more than ten cen turies. Until the Romans conquered Greece, contestants were strictly limited to young Greeks of im maculate reputation. Except for the last few, the games had a solemn religious significance. So great was their influence that wars were temporarily stopped for the Olympics to take place. After 450 B.C. the games reached their peak. It was the ambition of every city in Greece to have an Olympic champion. Dedicated to the worship of Zeus, contestants in the games marched to the huge statue of the god overlooking the field and made prayers for victory. Each player's prayer was quali fied with: "Only if I am the best." After the Roman Invasion the games gradually .deteriorated. The athletes, instead of being satisfied with a simple olive wreath and municipal honors, began receiving money and other valuable prizes. The games were abolished as a public nui sance in 394 A.D. by Emperor Theodosius I of Rome. They were revived in Athens in 1896, with athletes from nine nations competing. Thursday, June 21, 1958 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THIRTEEN Violations Of PCC Code Stanford, Calif . (U.R) Ath letic Director Al Masters of Stanford has uncovered a "few minor violations" of the Pacific Coast Conference athletic code. Masters said Wednesday he found the violations in the course of an investigation he is making at the request of Presi dent Wallace Sterling. "I cannot give the number of violations because the investi gation is not completed and the report first must be made to the president," he said. "However, I've found nothing to indicate a slush-fund opera tion, and I have found no organ ized alumni payoff system." He said all the infractions were individual cases and not part of an organized pattern. All schools of the conference are making a self-investigation. The results are to be reported to the PCC commissioner by July 15. Last week, the University of California disclosed illegal cash payments of $1100 to 20 athletes during the 1955-56 academic year, mostly for grants in aid. Multnomah Probers Recall 3 Witnesses .
