In addition to Atkinson they include Bob Prall. Salem. 1955 Oregon Golf association medal play champion and Jerry Cundari, Portland, state junior champ. Among the 23 women regis tered are Mrs. Ray Scott. Top o' Scott. Portland, and Mrs. S. A. Peters Jr.. Eureka. Calif. Prall likely will be on hand to defend his OGA toga Oct. 5. 6 and 7 when Rogue Valley will host the tourney. The Sa lemite was second low ama teur and fourth low overall in the recent Northwest Open Golf tournament at Eugene Country club. RVCC PRAISED j Dick Strite in his Eugene Reg-1 ister-Guard Highclimber column has taken the Eugene Country J club to task for something lack- ing in its hosting of the North-! west Open. At the same time he i niays a high compliment to Rogue Valley Country club. j Strite says the apparent trou-j ble at the Eugene course was i overall lack of enthusiasm on j the part of the membership. He! adds: "The Rogue Valley Country; club can give us all a lesson in j conducting a major golf tourna-! ment. The mam reason for sue-1 ces.e.. in the Southern Oregon and the OGA tournaments at Medforri in the past has been the enthusiasm of the membership ; and their all-out effort in doing! a tremendous job of hospitality." i RV Men NW Starters Two Rogue Valley men. Le land Clark and Dr. L. Paul Walker, were official starters for the Northwest Open. Al Williams, Rogue Valley pro fessional, was third high in earnings from that lourney with S469.25. The winnings in cluded those from the pro-amateur tussle. Ockie Eliason, Tacoma. Wash., the winner got S800 and Joe Greer. Yakima, Wash., third in the tourney was second in money with S500. ANNOUNCEMENT DUE Announcement on the chair manship of the Southern Oregon links ruckus is due this week. Rogue Valley has already named Al Littrell a general chairman and Dr. Walker as co-chairman for the OGA medal affair DIX NET CHAMP First Lt. Catherine Holiz, whose Medford home address is 2121 East Jackson st., has earned a spot on the Fort Dix, N.J., post tennis team which will compete as host in the First Army matches Aug. 5-9. The Women's Army Corps of ficer gained the honor when she won the post singles cham pionship. She was also a mem ber of the winning women's doubles team. ALTITUDE AIDS PITCHERS Why the heavy hitting in the Medford Cheney Studs - Bend Loggers ba.-ebail sines at Bend. Business Manager Bill Askwith oisons game alidad of Babe Ruth's rec ord 192" pace. Whitey Ford re ceived credit for his 14th victory while Boo Lemon, routed in a seven-run second inning, lost his eighth decision. Tigers Beat Sox The victory was the Yankees' sixth straight and 27th in 33 games since they dropped a lour-game series to the Chicago White Sox June 22-23-24. Virgil Trucks pitched a three hiit.er to give the Detroit Tigers a 4-1 win over the Boston Red Sox and Bob Xicman homered in the 10th inning as the Balti more Orioles shaoed the Kansas City Athletics. 4-3. in the other American League games. Frank House and Jim Small collected three hits each as the Tigers beat Frank Sullivan for the first time in 12 decisions. Mickey Vernon homered to spoil Trucks' hid for a shutout. Mike Forr.ieles won his third game for the Orioles, who re mained in a fifth-place tie with the Tigers, each with a 44-53 mark. By DICK JEWETT Mjil Tribune Sports Editor of tin- Studs says its the thinner air of the higher altitude and the small ball park. Pitchers re portedly can t make their curves break, and therefore the higher elevation is rough on pitches. The Stud., averaged better than 14 hits per game in the three game series. BOWERMANS VIEWS Looking through the ex change papers, we came upon the following views of Bill Bowerman, University of Ore gon track tutor and ex-Medford high coach, on the out come of Olympic events. (Bill answered the questions in Mc Minnville and we found the account in the Bend Bulletin.): 100 meter dash. US will fin ish one-two. 200 meter dash, US will fin ish one-two. 400 meter dash, US will fin ish one-two. 600 meter run. US will place two in the top six. 1500 meter run, we'll run for fun. 5,000 meter run. Bill Dell inger should finish in the top six. Steeplechase, US will have one in the top six. High hurdles. US will finish one-two. 400 meter hurdles, US will finish one-two. Marathon, we'll run for fun. Broad jump, US will finish one-two. High jump, US will finish one-two-three. Pole vault. US will take first (some of our best men aren't in.) Javelin. US will place two in the top six. Discus. US will place one in the top three. Shot put, US will take one-two-three. (This will be no contest. No other nation will have a man within four feet of our poorest performer). Hammer throw, we should stood in bed. Hop. step and jump, mora of the same. Decathlon. US will place one-two with Rafer Johnson and Milt Campbell the likely winners. A typographical error changed the meaning a bit in a Rogue ; Valley League story on Mon day's sport page. Pitcher Bob Nelson for Camp White, it said, struck out "'nine" batters. Ac tually he whiffed ''none."
