Smith encountered trouble
only with his putting yesterdav

one he missed was the only one
he bogied. The ex-University of
Oregon player had birdies on
the No. 1, 7, 15 and 18 holes.

Davies had a 78 yesterday, sec

Sue had birds on No. 2, 4, 12 and j
16 but three straight bogies on

their scores would stand up
against today's assault in the
quest for medalist.

NEW LADIES' RECORD Sue
DeVoe, Medford, above, estab
lished a new women's competi
tive record at Rogue Valley

one under par 75 score in quali
fying for the Southern Oregon
Golf tournament.
first flight third rounds and the
second round of all other men's
brackets.
Finals on Monday
Finals will be on Monday,
Labor day with 36 holes to be
played in the championship
matches and 18 slated for the
other flights.
Taylor (Red) Maulding, greens
superintendent, and his staff
have the Medford links in prime
condition for the event as evi
denced by the remarks of Crea
son, participant whose home
course is most distant, and Clark,
the SWO champ. Creason, in
Oregon to visit his mother at
Brookings, termed the RV layout
the most beautiful he has seen
in a couple of years. He played
over the old RVCC route in 1952.
Clark, Grants Pass resident, said
MEDFORDvwTRIBUNE
SIPdDIRTrS
that the soft,' lush greens hold
the ball good and that the course
is in the top of condition.
Club officers and the manage
ment both have praised the tour
ney committees headed by Ray
Mencke, general chairman, and
Bill Thorndike, co-chairman, for
their organization, cooperation
and coordination to insure the
success of the 28th annual play
ing of the tourney.
Clayton Lewis, RVCC presi
dent, pointed out how committee
planning has come up with an
effective means whereby the
Southern Oregon tourney may
be recognized as the one in the
northwest producing the com
bination of the "best golf and
the most fun.
Getchell Not Playing
This has been achieved in part
by fact that some men players
will rest on Thursday, others on
Friday and the women on Sat
urday, enabling participants to
play good golf and not tire and
at the same time relieving
traffic on the' links. Also, no
effort has been made to toughen
the course. The course is "wide
open," Lewis remarked. The
staff has not let the rough grow.
It is felt that the 6,688-foot
length of the course and the
tricky greens still will make a
good test of golf.
The management feels that
the 1956 event may prove the
best in overall operation and
mechanics.
It was reported this morning
that Phil Getchell, Medford,
1954 runner-up and 1955 medal
ist, would not be an entry. He
will retain his job with the
county road department uritil
leaving Sept. 1 for Fuller Theo
logical seminary,- Los Angeles.
He was graduated from Stanford
university last spring.

It's no accident you're seeing so many more Bine
Chip GMC's these days breezing through all
manner of tough, in-a-hurry jobs.
Truck-users are buying them for just one reason :
These trucks make them more moqey than com
parable haulers.
Here's why: They haul bigger loads. They make
more trips or more mileage a day. They're
economical with fuel And they can go up to twice
as far between overhauls.
Credit belongs to a GMC's unsurpassed power
train combination: New short-stroke engines of
ultra-erTiciency. Extra-capacity axles. Brawny
transmissions that include Hydra-Matk, a phe
nomenal time- and money-saver.
One of these combinations is made to order for
your job no matter what your kind of truck
work. And our truck specialists are trained to
give yon the truck that's right f or yoa.
But no matter which model you choose, yo
can count on getting Blue Chip performance.
That's backed by the expert service work always
available at this headquarters. Come in and talc
