Newspaper Page Text-Tei MICrORD (OMC6K) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, July 10, 1958 Waj Fanfare Ry DICK Jiwm MjH TribuM Sparta feita Rogue Valley Country club can look with some pride on the accomplishment of Marvin Clark in winning the Southwest Ore gon Golf championship at Coos Bay. For Clark, although a Grants Pass resident and golfer In his home community, has a membership in RVCC and is well-known to Medford divoters. It was the first big tourney triumph for the Climate city linksman who will be 53 years old next Monday. He has been Grants Pass club, titlist several times and in his closest previous brush with fame was as runner up last year for the Oregon Golf association senior championship. Clark has been a Southern Ore gon tournament entry many years and a participant in the titular bracket. His SW victory established him as a contender in the Southern Oregon classic over the Labor day holidays. Coos Bay tourney followers thought that Clark's age would prove a handicap that he would not hold up. But he met younger men from Coos Bay in a tough bracket and proved a giant- killer, playing 41 holes on Sat urday. On Saturday Clark had to go five extra holes to defeat Harry Kern, who had beaten a co-medalist and in the afternoon he trimmed Dick Hanen another co-medalist. In his Sunday finale victory over Don Bick, he bounced the defending cham pion. Clark was cool and persistent In tha tourney. His ability to hit the ball straight down the mid dle of the fairways paid off for the Grants Pass man. In contrast Bick had difficulty staying on the fairways and was frequently in trouble. SO TOURNEY EXTRA DAY Rogue Valley Country club officials have undertaken a -measure to curb the traffic problem which has plagued past recent Southern Oregon Golf tournamenii. Dates this year for the event are Wednes day, August 29, through Mon day, September 3. Wednesday start, day of qualifying for eut-of-towners and local title flight aspirants, means one extra day has been added lo the popular holiday event. It is hoped that with the ex ' Its day matches won't run into darkness which has necessitat ed makeshift lighting or con tinuation on the following morning. Last year two cham : pionship flight tussles were completed with the help of auto headlights. Field will be cut down for any one day of match play by having only the top flights of men compete on Thursday. On Friday the top flighters will lay off and lower flight men have matches. Women will skip Saturday in match play, contending Thursday, Friday, Sunday and Monday. It is anticipated also that the extra day of play will cut down on the number of en tries. An Aug. 24 date has been set for having entries into RVCC. Local men and women not trying for cham pionship flight spots will play qualifying rounds in the week ahead of Aug. 29. DIDN'T HAVE BELT Joe Budnich, manager of the Washington Cheney Studs base ball nine, wore his heavy team jacket at the fairgrounds dia mond Sunday in Medford's 102 degree iieat. (It was actually hotter out under the sun.) The jacket brought considerable com ment from spectators. We've been told that Budnich wasn't cold. He just didn't have a belt for his pants. J r iJ' OLDTIMER SEES ACTION Tex Townsend, member at the Camp While Administra tion domicilary and old-time baseball player he's 63, went with the Eagle Point team to Cave Junction on Sunday to serve as an umpire. Eagle Point was short of players. Townsend wound up playing first base. TOGAS CAPTURED Medford National Guard Com pany A of the 186th Infantry won the first battalion Softball championship at Guard camp. Headquarters Company, also of Medford, was the 1955 winner. It meant just moving the trophy from one side of the Armory trophy case to the other. Bobby Lyons of Headquarters won the featherweight division crown and Adrian Van Horn of Company A the heavyweight honors in boxing during camp. WALT'S BILLS TRIP Tussles between Jackson County Softball association and Yreka, Calif., teams is being eyed. One fracas is al ready slated. Walt's Lithia Motors will travel to the Cali fornia town on Friday, July 13, to face a cleaning estab lishment club. Game time will be 7:45 p.m. (Oregon time) at the Yreka city park. Trips by other clubs will depend on how the Lithia jaunt works out. Gilbertson, Harrin In Club Title Ope George Harrington, the de fending champion, and Roy Gil bertson, who was co-medalist with him, won their first round matches in the men's club cham pionship golf tourney at Rogue Valley club but should find opposition tough in second round matches this week. Gilbertson draws Larry Butler who won 7 and 6 from William McAllister. Harrington goes against Harry Millette who took a default win from Dr. J. Lari more. Half the championship bracket entries won their opening con tests by comfortable margins. Closest tussles saw Warren Dea kins Jr. down Alan Holmes, Dr. D. C. Boals edge Dean Lambert and. Dr. William- Miller defeat Brad Broyles all by 1 up scores. Team Match Coming Second round scraps must be finished by next Sunday eve ning. Rogue Valley men will mix a trip to Eugene Country club into their links slate next Sun day. They'll compete in a team match.

Riverside Ave. By HAL WOOD United Preti Sportt Writer San Francisco U.R) Golf used to be a sport for the idle rich but you'd never know it from the entry list for the Na tional Public Links Golf Tour nament. The "star" performer the tirst day happened to be a fellow named Jim North, North Bend, Wsh. North stands about 6-4, weighs about 260 and used to be a line man for the Washington Red skins professional football team. Right now he is a high school teacher and coach. "I've been trying to make this tournament for 18 years and this is my first shot at a big title," he said. "But I dunno. Can't seem to putt." What made him the big attrac tion were the booming drives he hits each time he gets on the tee. While most of the three somes were followed only by the players' wives, or less, the tour nament's few spectators, includ ing some pretty fine semi-professionals, were following North Just to see him swat the ball. Most of the ' players in this meet are men of modest circum stances who play golf, at the most, only about two or three times a week. They haven't the money to travel south to keep their game in shape in the win ter months. For instance, George Aubrey is 40. He hails from Moon Run, Pa., where he is employed as a doughnut maker. He had a very respectable 73 today. Jack Martin of Oklahoma City is a used car dealer; Joe Moreno of New Orleans is a dance instructor and Don Green of Phoenix, Ariz., is a refrigera tion maintenance man. Ben Hughes of Portland, Ore-runner-up for the crown in 1948 at Atlanta, Ga., is a bookkeeper; and Shedrick McKain of Mem phis Gas, Light and Water Com pany. He is the fellow who burn ed up the front side of the Hard ing Park course with a 32 and then took a huge 40 coming home. There are half a dozen police men, several firemen and a young fellow named Suttman, 28, from Miamisburg, Ohio, who just lists himself as "unemployed." Dog Races Want Fairground Use Portland U.R Murray Kemp, general manager of the Multnomah Kennel club, yester day made a formal proposal to the Multnomah county fair board, asking that the club be allowed to use the fairground facilities to hqld dog racing this year. Kemp's request followed fi nancial difficulties that halted the club's construction of a new dog racing plant in northeast Portland. Under the proposal offered by Kemp, the fair would receive one per cent of gross pari-mutuel handle at the track and the club would properly construct the needed facilities, including addi tions to the pari-mutuel plant. Kemp proposed that the meet run 40, and not more than 50 days, and would follow the Mult nomah county fair, opening about Aug. 17. When you're sure of the whiskey you're sure of the drink !
