Even more important, the

his old self again. Hurryin' Hugh
proved beyond doubt he is re
covered from a foot operation
by scoring on an 80-yard jaunt.
The Giants opened their sea
son at Boston with a win over
the Baltimore Colts. Coach Jim
Lee Howell has added defensive
strength to the sound offense he
already had, and the win was
a strong indication that the
Giants will be a strong contend
er for the Eastern division cham
pionship.

ground and in training at the
University of Portland. They
travel to Seattle -Saturday to
play the Los Angeles Rams, then

Hardtoppers
Scrap at VV
On Saturday
Racing for championship
points gets tighter and tighter
as the season end draws closer
for hardtop racing at Valley
View track.
Crock Hunter, 15X, is holding
his lead with 381 points, exact
ly 70 points ahead of Wayne
Lemley, A57, in second place
with 311. Bobby Wilcox, M27,
is hanging onto his third spot
with 268, but has lots of big
ideas about moving up before
the season ends. Bobby Jenkins,
M16, is still in the No. 4 spot
but having overcome his mon
icker of "the Hardluck Kid,"
could move up a place or two-.
Among racing men they say
that never count a driver out
until he hangs up his helmet,
and then be careful that he
doesn't come back.
Johnny Jqnes, M77, hung on
tight to his No. 5 place with 230
markers. Rusty Phillips, C33,
slowed down just a bit in his
march toward the top and held
his No. 6 place. But leadfoot Lou
Kurz, M7, with the help of Dave
and Vern Fraysher on the me
chanical end, rose a spot to No.
7 with 179 points.
Waymon Core, C16, took
very hard roll and bounce,
landed in the hospital, but still
went to eight from No. 9. Way
mon is still confined but some
rumors have it that he intends
to watch the races Saturday
night at the Valley View.
Neil Wooldridge, M15, dropped
from seventh to ninth, but he
has been sidelined with injuries
and has announced his retire
ment from racing. Allen Baus
man, from Klamath Falls, re
turned to the hardtop wars and
held his No. 10 place. Allen has
very definite ideas about climb
ing back to No. 1. He Held the
position at the beginning of the
season. "The Tall Man" from
Klamath Falls, Jack Lively, K2,
came back last Saturday night
and was going strong until
some bad luck caught up with
him. ,
Fred Arnberg, CIO, from
Grants Pass, dropped to 12th
spot and when he gets out of
the hospital will be back in the
thick .of the race.

been providing their share of
the excitement and Chuck Da
vis, SI, of Ashland, really seems
to like to win, races, especially
the stock trophy dash.
A new entry from out-of-town
has been filed for the stock car
races but so far the driver has
not been named. Several new
stockers will be on the track
Saturday night to show the

Multnomah Probe
Bills Approved
Portland (U.R) Multnomah
county commissioners said today
the grand jury probe into vice
allegations has developed into
a king-size financial headache.
Payment of $9,000 was ap
proved yesterday by the com
mission for expenses already
incurred in the investigation.
When informed by Attorney
General Robert Y. Thornton
that the state has unlimited pow
er to incur debts in the cases
and that Multnomah county has
to pay them, county commission
ers transferred $50,000 from the
county's emergency fund to a
special fund.
Biggest objection raised was
what Chairman M. James Glea
son and Commissioner Jack Bain
termed the "blank check" at
Thornton's disposal for ' the in
vestigation and prosecution of
about SO indictments.
The commissioners agreed to
cooperate with the current In
vestigation, but they reserved
the right to make a claim against
the state for any bills which
seem out of line.
