Medford and Klamath Falls, competing for attention with a track meet, will open their first game at 1:30 p.m. Their tussles will be one side of the fence. On the other side of the Medford sta dium enclosure will be the Rogue relays. Just the first game of the two on the diamond will count in Southern Oregon conference standings. It will be the first loop action for either club. Klamath was rained out of a mix with Crater last week while Med ford cancelled its non-league twinbill with Roseburg for the same reason. Both clubs, however, have seen action. Medford has played Yreka and got scrimmage under game conditions Tuesday with Crater. Klamath two week ends ago had a twinheader with Prine- ville. - The Tornado and Pelican each combine a handful of vets with less experienced players. Med ford has seven lettermen and Klamath five. Along with the monogram wearers in Tornado uniforms are a group of sopho mores inexperienced in prep ball. Klamath bases its hopes for support of experienced players on a group of freshmen with Babe Ruth league experience. Players here, of course, had the American Legion and Southern Oregon junior programs for their diamond grooming. Just what service one of the Klamath lettermen will see is a' matter of conjecture. Butch Kimpton, shortstop and second baseman, is also a trackman. Other Pel lettermen are pitchers Mickey Carney and Darryl Rusth, outfielder Joe Tawney and third baseman Jerry Bram well. Medford junior varsity met the Eagle Point varsity this afternoon.

Hunting and Fishing Southern Oregon Br MEL REES On a recent trip to Southern California I had the opportunity of seeing a glass fishing rod in process of manufacture. Al though I have interviewed vari ous, manufacturers from time to time and knew something about glass rods, still it was with a great deal of interest that I was able to follow one from the resin pots to the charming lady who wrapped the guides. At the invitation of Herb Jenks, general manager of Pa cific Laminates, I joorneyed to that beautiful little city of Costa Mesa to the home ofthe famous Silaflex rods. ' Probably the first and great est surprise to me was the well equipped laboratory where skilled technicians compound and test various types of resins (the adhesive used to cement the layers of glass cloth), check and inspect different weaves of glass cloth, study and record stresses and actions in the finished rod blanks and work out formulas for rew types of rod actions. It may be of interest to note that all the machines used in the making of the rods have to be hand-made and usually are de signed on the spot due to the fact that in the processing of a glass rod there isn't anything to follow as a precedent. Some of these machines are so ingenious in their operation and so perfect; ly accomplish the job for which they are intended that the ob server has a tendency to become intrigued by the tool rather than with the product it is making. All the resins used in these rods are mixed in great round bottomed vats. The glass cloth comes in large bolts, woven in the cotton textile mills of our deep Couth. This cloth is impreg nated with hot resin, pulled be tween two rollers to remove the excess and hung from a high ceiling to dry. On the pattern table this resin impregnated cloth is cut into sail-like pieces, the design being governed by the size of -the blank and the taper. A tapered steel mandrel is cemented to the Seattle Rainiers Top Portlanders San Bernardino, Calif. (U.R) Red Munger was scheduled to pitch for Seattle today against the Hollywood Stars in an exhi bition clash here. The Rainiers Wednesday scored their fourth straight exhi bition win by topping Portland 6-4, despite a three-run rally in the ninth. The Stars on the other Hafid lOSt tO San FranCISCO, 64. edge of one of these pieces of cut cloth and rolled in an in genious machine which heats the resin so it will thoroughly impregnate the layers and at the same time rolls the cloth on the mandrel exerting approximately 100 pounds to the square inch. These cloth wrapped mandrels are next inspected for flaws then wrapped with scotch tape. From here the blanks are given sev eral cbats of resin rubbed on by hand to ensure the proper coat ing and baked between each coat. A special sanding machine removes any rough spots and the blanks are Teady for ferruling. A special machine sizes and in stalls the ferrules for a super tight fit and the rod is ready for the cork handle, fly seat, spinning rings Or metal reel seat. Most anglers are acquainted with the wrapping of the guides and tip. Color preservative and varnish are placed only on the guides as the rod does not re quire any Other finish besides the final coat of resin. Of interest to steelhead fisher men in this area is the entirely new "Magnum" rod which is just now entering the market. This rod is an entirely new concept in a fishing rod. The tip is very limber so that even the slight est strike or "pick up" can be felt. When the fish is hooked the tip ceases to enter into the pic ture and the rest of the rod is a powerhouse. For some time steelheaders have wanted something light enough to really "feel" the lightest bites but heavy enough to battle a big fish in fast water. Up to now this Combination could only be had in two rods. This new Magnum seems to be the answer. So far it is only made in one piece but Jenks told me that rods would be available in two pieces (the fer rule will not be in the middle in order not to kill the action) by the coming steelhead season. After seeing the samples I feel that this rod may open a new vista for the steelheaders in this area. , Portland Teamsters Schedule Meeting Portland (U.R) The post poned meeting of Teamsters Un ion Local 162 will be held one week from today in the Port land civic auditorium at 8 p.m. The meeting was called for Tuesday night but had to be postponed when 1500 members turned up and overflowed the quarters in Teamster hall. The swollen attendance was credited to Congressional disclosures of activities of top union officers in handling members' funds. THOMAS TO GIANTS Salt Lake City 4U.R) The New Yofk Giants today sent for Minneapolis catcher Valmy Thomas, 24, to fill in for the in jured Bob Schmidt, who will be out 10 days with a torn ligament in his right shoulder.

(U.R) A record field of 102 opened the 21st Mas ters golf tournament under a hot sky today and with a chance that an amateur could win it to ful fill the dream of Bobby Jones. Jones, who retired undefeated as an amateur king after win ning the big four of world tour naments in 1930, founded the Masters tournament shortly thereafter. No amateur has won a big one since then, save Johnny Good man's victory in the 1933 U.S. Open. But in the Masters, they have come close twice in the last three years and today the name on the tip of almost everyone's tongue was Harvie Ward." Ward has proved his consist ency by winning the U. S. ama teur the last two years, the first repeater in that unpredictable event since Lawson Little in 1934-35. He also has had 69s the last two days in practice on the Augusta National Course. These performances caused the experts to evaluate the Mas ters a possibility for an amateur coup. They also remember that Billy Joe Patton in 1954 and Ken Venturi a year ago had it Eagles Beat Grants Pass Eagle Point Class A-2 Eagle Point recorded its second tennis victory of the season over an A-l school yesterday by beating Grants Pass here 6 to 1.
