However, the reading. public should know what a prac ticing coach thinks about- an Cithlete's disability and whether or not he should compete. (As a spectator it was not my decision thi Jim Eailey not run but as "his coach in Oregon I recom- O "JWended that he not compete unless the effects of the hay (-ever ere gone.) He was still suffering 'breathing difficulty ai)did not compete, as 'you al- O l9y personal feeling about in jury or infection or allergy is thai? the o.r should be under a O dottor S care. If the doctor says (ihen the' coach still has to discide hther the boy is physi cally fit to turn in a creditable performance. At our university, a$d I bet, that most high schools and universities do the same, e have had . athletes out ot Ocompetition many times on the recommendation of the doctor, and-, held them for competition eren mfireo because they .we're not up to their. bct ability. O Would Have Felt Worse' . O I Anojv how badly Jim feels that be could not compete in the games. J am as certain as I' can be feat, had he run. he would have been even more dispapoint ed, because he would not have turned in a good performance). lENSry otheg day in the Olym pics is ladles day. That is, in the competition. Any one has Qhe gisconception that lady athletes are all the "plow O (jjorse types" should see these "dolls" compete. It is true that the two Russian weight girls are bi and bulky. But, you should O have ieen cthe tall .Junoesque, beautifuk gal from, .Czechoslova kia who won the discus. O The Aussie girls dominate the sprints and hurdles. Every one . of (these sprinters is slim, trim, Qniue-iooking and lady-like. The fs broad jumper from Poland had long blond pi;ftiiils to add to her- otljarO attractive points. : YanleGirU Miss Yep, competition for girls is the thing in the rest of the ;terld.

That grejat (little champion is also de termined to jut into practice the leSSuiS learned here in his post- -firaduate running. 0 TCuts Murderous o Vlaiftnar Kuts (of Russia) is a murderous runner. I am cer tain that every runner there was going to have a go at beat ing him. His tactics are 100 per cent different 'from Scandina vian theory, which calls for four 60 second quarters if you want a four-minute mile, etc. Oi) plan was to run the leader like he-' were hooked to a 15 yai elastic. When he threw in one of those sprints let him go. Tfytn gradually take up the slack to 1 yards and hold that even paio. ' In preparation forJ the as sembling last summer, Bill vorked on 65 secend quarters. Qrhis would put him right with the leaders, but those murderous O tactics of that great runner, O KutsPnot only brought him vic tory, it strung out the field and forced seven of the 15 runners O to withdraw rather Ulan walk j the last three lap. ! Had I not been here,, the les son of tactfrs would not have ben learned.

Hoop Coach Frank' Roelandt reported last night that some 12 players from Medford's state A-l runner-tip football squad have reported for basketball. The group includes four cage letter men. Two other gridders, in cluding one basketball, mono gram wearer, have yet to turn out for the court sport. The Black Tornado hoopmen play Eugene in the Willamette valley city on Friday and Satur day evenings, Dec. 7 and 8. Cage lettermen who have re ported to Roelandt after shed ding their grid gear are pick Copple, Dick McLaughlin, Neil Plumleyand Larry Slessler. A fifth letterman, Mike Stearns, is. still recuperating, from the neck sprain he suffered in- the, Cresham football game. Plumley Turns Ankle Return of the lettermen pro vided no immediate big boom in the outlook of the Tornado for its cage openers. Pliimley, 6-5. center, turned an ankle Mon day night and missed drill yes terday. He was to try the ankle on the court this evening.

The proposal has been tabbed the "letter of intent", issue. It involves a proposed letter of in tent which when signed by a high school athlete would ' re quire him -to attend, the. school of his choice and would ban him from competition if he. later de cided to enroll at another PCC member school. . Fiaal action on the 'proposal was expected either this after noon or during Thursday's final session at a four-day PCC meet ing here. Similar Plan PCC Commissioner Victor O. Schmidt laid the Southwest con ference uses a similar plaa to halt last-minute recruiting. He said, however, "If approved it will not be identical In that it will be more literally a. letter of intent instead of a contract."- Representatives .Tuesday adopted an ameudment to the to be thrilled by the 5,000. They got a bonus of seeing a repeat on our hurdle championship. Lee Caiooun was finally judged the winner, but, it was so close the judges studied the photo for an hour. The ' time was ' :13.5 which was most amazing be cause of the ilow track and ind in the face. The wombat is a creature that I presumed was in the class of the one-feathered philie-lu bird, the figment of someone'B imagi nation. Not so. At the park there, was at least one very 'nice, one running about in- the crowd. Little children were petting it as it moved about. This creature hod the shape of a prairie dog or possibly a gopher with gray soft hair. But the thing was a big as . a dog in .'the body. Surely was a dandy for the many chil dren who were there. I say again, don't hunt bears with. a switch. P.S.: Jim Bailey's hay. lever is worse.

Gary Riley, who played varsity and jayvee ball last sea son, will turn out when he gets over a charleyhorse. : Of the group which has been drilling for several weeks under Roelandt, the coach has kept five seniors and a sophomore. The seniors are Richard Puhl and Larry Perkins, lettermen, and Jay Mullen," John Payne and Steve' Wisely. Don Peek is the sophomore. - So far as the footballers are. concerned this week,, drills are aimed considerably at .getting them acclimated to the .maple court and used to the idea that the ball is round, not oval. Fundamentals are getting atten tion. Roelandt has his club work ing on a few patterns in pre paration for their season debut with the Axemen of Eugene.- . . ' code making it more difficult for athlete:students to compete in sports at ' out of state PCC. schools. The amendment un doubtedly will effect Northwest schools which have been attracting- many southern California athletes. . It states a student must have at least a "C" average in all his high school courses or. bring up his grades to this 'level before competing in college sports. , . Dr. ,G,lehn T.. Seaborg, Cali f o.r n i a faculty representative and spokesman for the confer ence, said the rule change origi nated with UCLA, California, Stanford, and Oregon about three years ago. He said "It will make it a little more difficult, for example, "for southern Cali fornia players to go to schools in Oregon and Washington." . Routine business continued to dominate, the PCC meeting in the .wake of the decision by UCLA officials : not to . seek withdrawal from .the PCC But although the UCLA "revolt" ap parently has fizzed out, those favoring withdrawal insist that the Bruins will make their part ing gestures next month 'at a proposed meeting of- conference athletic "and faculty representa tives with- presidents .and chan cellors of PCC schools!
