Atkinson they include Bob

Portland, state junior champ.

Prall likely will be on hand

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

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

5,000 meter run. Bill Dell

Steeplechase, US will have
one in the top six.
High hurdles. US will finish

400 meter hurdles, US will

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.

Decathlon. US will place

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."
