Newspaper Page Textc Fanfare Picking up the odds and ends after the Hayward relays: After six consecutive triumphs by the Black Hornado in the Eu gene classic there's even more argument for those who wish to rename the meet the "Medford relays." After five straight Med ford wins the metro elass also could be called the "Tornado division." ELDON IN GROOVE Most gratifying feature of the Hayward meet it the indi cation that Eldon Francis. Medford spear thrower is back in form. The 1955 Ail-American javelin man as a sopho more had troubles as a junior but at Eugene on Saturday ap peared back in the groove with his record toss and all of his throws were over the 175 mark. His coach,. Bob New land, going through the March issue of the Track and Field news, noted that Francis's top heave of 194 feet in 1955 competition rates as the best all-time throw on record for a high school sophomore. TOP MILE TIME Newland also reported that the 3:26 mile relay time Satun dsy by Pete Kershaw, Loren Christean, Les Lingscheit and Mike Russell, was better than the top time for the year listed in the March Track and Field News. Andrews high of Texas had a 3:26.2 mark. Neil Plum ley's 56-1 H shot put at Eugene was the best of his competitive career and ranks ninth in the country for prepsters so far when compared to the T and F tabulations. Tops is 61-11 by Branson, Pasadena, Calif. DEAD HEAT IN SHUTTLES At first report following the race at Eugene Medford was said to have a dead heat with Jefferson of Portland in the shuttle hurdles. When the tab ulations came out, however, Jeff had first place although the timet of the two schools were the same. PLAQUE TCT NEWLAND In addition to the champion ship trophy the Medford club re ceived a plaque, with, a picture of Bill Hayward, as well. The squad members presented the plaque to Newland, who leaves Medford at the end of the school year for the vice-principal post at North Eugene high. JEFF PROUD A Jefferson high athlete told Les Lingscheit, Medford mid die distance - star, - that the Democrats were "proud to fin ish behind the champions." FAST TIME RECORDED Injury to Wally Larson's an kle apparently was not too seri ous. He was clocked in :21.8 in his anchor league of the half mile relay, having, of course, a running start. A good ankle tap ing job by University of Oregon trainer Bob Officer helped out. Loren Christean was clocked in :49.9 and Mike Russell in :50.9 in their legs of the mile relay. Running starts and the spot of the baton exchange naturally had some effect on the clocking. CRATERS TWINS TOPS A new feature of the 1957 relays, which we were not aware cf until after the meet, was in the non-relay field events. In the pole vault, dis cus and javelin both entries from each school were eligible for points if they placed high enough. In the past only one boy from a school could gel points in the events. In that way Crater high in Class A got both first and sec ond spots in the javelin with Gary Smith's record throw of 174-7 being followed by his twin brother Lary's 167-5. Phil Paquin and Stan Lewman. Grants Pass, knotting at 12-7 in the pole vault, also gained points for first and second for the Cavemen. Portland Divides With OSC Nine Corvallis U.R) Bill Wittala pitched Portland to a 6-2 victory over Oregon State in the second game Saturday after the Beav ers won the opener 6-5 in 10 innings. RIEDER VICTOR Timberline Lodge U.R) Toni Sailer, a triple gold medal win ner in the 1956 Winter Olympics, finished in third place Sunday in the annual Golden Poles giant slalom at Mt. Hood in a blizzard that saw visibility cut to almost zero. Sailer was beaten by Josl Rieder. a fellow Austrian, who finished first, and Francois Bon lieu of France. Putza Frandl, an other Austrian, won the women's division. PICKUP and 15 Minute tT Service l MEDFORD MUFFLER CO.

Just tell us your needs and let us give you an estimate Is That So? By Eugene Burns Banger-Naturalist (Editor's note: This Is the second of the series on animals In warfare.) Because of their remarkably keen senses and high intelli gence, many dogs can be trained to save human lives in ways which only a dog could perform. What a man can hear at 175 yards by straining, a dog can hear easily a full mile away and with beautiful discrimination, quickly trained to detect the meaning of slightly different sounds that spell danger. When a man has difficulty dis tinguishing between two adjoin ing notes on the piaho the dog can distinguish easily one-quar ter of this range. While his master's localization of the source of -sound is indeed crude a sad deficiency parti cularly in war patrol work, his dog's is exact to one degree. (But for that matter, a barnyard biddy can localize sounds better than a man can.) But even keener than hearing is the dog's sense of smell. Not only can a dog follow a trail through the forst on a dark night as easily as a man can follow a well-posted highway in broad daylight, but even after a lapse of several days a dog can some times take up a man's trail and know in which direction the man went! This means that dogs with keen ears, sensitive noses and slashing fangs backed with power and courage can and do save many lives in combat, and in many ways. Dogs helped their coast guard masters patrol beaches from Maine clear around to Washing ton during the past great war to detect possible saboteur night- landings by submarines. (Allied spies made many such submarine landings on Japanese-held is lands during the Pacific war to set up guerrilla, warfare, for one thing.) Effective in Fog In the Aleutians, where the fog was often so thick that sen tries could not see one another five feet away, dogs never al lowed a Japanese scout to go through their patrol. In Guada canal, they sniffed out and ex posed Japanese snipers and mortar-fire spotters hidden away in the densely-screening jungle. In areas inaccessible even to heli copters, they located airplane crash victims who left the wreck age fearing enemy reprisals. For scouting, when silence is of utmost importance, dogs have been trained on. hand-signal alone, without a word of com mand, to run, crouch, and "hit the dirt." And instead of running to an enemy, exposing both dog and handler to enemy fire, to in dicate distances by the strength of their pull on the leash. And dogs are still proving ex pert sentinels. Maj.Gen. Robert H. Peffer, in command of the west coast Marines, told me re cently, upon returning from an inspection tour to Japan and Korea, that the Marine war dogs were serving well in those areas even today during peacetime.

"Open wider," may soon be saving. "Think of a number. Here a United Press reporter tells wnat it was like to nave a loom pulled without anesthetic but under hypnosis. By RICHARD B. LANEY United Press Correspondent Salt Lake City (U.R) I had a tooth drilled without taking an anesthetic. It was absolutely painless. I was under hypnosis. I had arrived at the dentist's by a recent army report. In the Kobe, Japan, area where ware houses were guarded by an in fantry battalion during a four month period $600,000 of ma terial was stolen. The battalion was replaced by 65 German shep herds and 125 men and since these "K-9s" have pounded the beat there has been only one in cident of attempted theft in ten months. The dog caught and bad ly lacerated the potential thiefs arm and not one dollar's loss! In Korea, since guard dogs were assigned to guard duty in mid 1956, pilfering has been reduced by 95 per cent.

My dentist explained that hypnodontics the use of hypnotism in den tistry had been used in 20,000 dental operations. He said it eliminated or reduced pain, stopped the flow of blood and relaxed the patient's "fear of the drill." I agreed to try it (no person can be hypnotized against his will). The "dentist told me to close my eyes and relax completely. He had me concentrate first on .relaxing my feet, then my legs, then my stomach muscles, and so on. Follow Directions He told me to visualize a blackboard, take a piece of chalk and draw a circle on it, then erase the circle. Next I was told to turn away from the imagin ary blackboard and visualize a table with a large vase of flow ers on it. He had me describe the flowers in detail. What kind they were, their colors and how many I saw. Then he told me to face the blackboard again and describe what I saw. I told him I saw a black surface with white smudges on it where a chalked circle had been erased. The dentist said this showed I was fairly suggestible and a good subject for hypnosis since most people forget they have erased the circle. More Relaxed Next, he relaxed me by stages again, told me to imagine myself getting on an escalator and, as he counted backwards from 10 to 1, I would descend on the escalator, becoming more and more relaxed. It worked I've rarely felt so relaxed and cheerful. He then suggested that I would feel no pain in my jaw. He also said my subconscious mind would tell the degree of the trance I was in 1 to 10 for light trance, 10 to 20 medi um, and 20 to 30 heavy. Seven seemed like a good number to me for some reason, and that's what I told him. Then he got out his drill and AT YOUR DODGE Tb':&" ran 3 MOTORS o 33,5 E.
