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.

crown and Adrian Van Horn of
Company A the heavyweight
honors in boxing during camp.

fornia town on Friday, July

lishment club. Game time will
be 7:45 p.m. (Oregon time) at
the Yreka city park. Trips by

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

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.
