Klippstein, who was drafted out of the Dodgers vast farm system back in 1950, has come back to haunt them with no less than eight victories in the last three years. He came through Wednesday night with a nifty five-hitter that gave the Cincin nati Redlegs an 8-1 triumph over the National league champions. It was a key victory for the Redlegs because it snapped the Dodgers' five-game winning streak and dropped Brooklyn in to third place. It enabled the Redlegs to retain their game and a half lead over the Milwaukee Braves, who scored a 4-3, 13-in-ning triumph over the Philadel phia Phillies. The New York Giants edged out the Chicago Cubs, 4-3 in the only other National league activ ity. The Chicago White Sox made it two in a row over the New York Yankees, 8-4. the Boston Red Sox tied a league record of four homers in one inning as they routed the Cleveland Indi ans, 11-0. the Baltimore Orioles nipped the Detroit Tigers, 4-3, in 10 innings and the Kansas City Athletics whipped the Washing ton Senators, 8-6, in the Ameri can league., Rain Delays Play Klippstein, who had an 0-3 record and was kayoed in his four previous starts, turned in one of the best games by a Red leg pitcher this year. He yielded the Dodgers' run in the second inning but shut them out with two hits after play was halted by rain for an hour and 42 minutes in the middle of the fifth inning. The Braves pulled out their game with the Phillies, after trailing 3-0, on the wings of a Third Game Postponed In RV Loop A Rogue Valley league base ball game between Glendale and Cove- Junction, scheduled for Pave Junction next Sunday, has been postponed, it was an nounced today. The postponement was made at the request of Glendale when Manager Tommy Presstianni said he would be unable to field a team at that time. He said the bulk of his team would be made up of high school students who would not be eligible to play until school is out for the summer. Other opening day games. Talent at Camp White and Grants Pass at Medford. also have been postpone Butte Tails, the seventh team in the league, draws a bye. The postponed games will be made up as night contests later in the season. COKER ELIGIBLE ' Greensboro, N.C. W Don Coker, high school football star who was banned from Atlantic Coast Conference athletics last summer for alleged recruiting vi olations, has been declared eligi ble for varsity football at the University of North Carolina this fall. ACC Commissioner Jim Weaver, exercising powers grant ed him by conference faculty representatives this month, hand ed down the ruling Wednesday. miumr o I gf If CD 1 ANCHOR HOCKING Snack Set (Retail Vofue S3. 50) When you buy 5 :V(t-j?l BOYSEN 100 PURE BOYSEN COLORIZER HOUSE PAINT, WHIIS ba BOYSEN SHAKE AND RUSTIC PAINT Offer Sood While Supply Lists COPELAND LUMBER YARDS Of Medford 1765 N. Riverside three-run homer by Ed Mathews in the fifth and Chuck Tanner's first round-tripper of the vear in the 13th. The, blows, 11th and 12th homers off Robin Roberts this -season, were backed up by strong Milwaukee relief pitch ing, which shut out the Phillies the last eight innings. Rookie Juan Pizarro, who took over in the 12th, won his second game while the loss was Roberts' fifth. He has three victories. Red Schoendienst's ninth in ning single following a double by Daryl Spencer gave the Giants their victory after a hom er by Dale Long produced a 3-3 tie in the sixth. Relief pitcher Al Worthington won his third decision while Bob Rush suffer ed his fifth straight loss of the season. Jim Wilson, 35-year-old right hander, went the distance for his fifth win as the go-go White Sox took advantage of two er ror by Billy Martin and a three base muff by Mickey Mantle to score five unearned runs and stretch their winning streak to nine straight games. The victory stretched the White Sox' first place lead to three games and dropped the slumping Yankees four games off the AL pace. Gene Mauch, Ted Williams, Dick Gernert and Frank Mal zone all homered in the sixth in ning, tying the AL record for one inning and making it easy for Tom Brewer to breeze to his sixth win for the Red Sox. Cal McLish was the victim of the four homers a major league mark for round trippers off one pitcher in an inning. Pinch-hitter Al Pilarcik's scratch hit scored Tito Francona with the winning run for the Ori oles. George Zuverink gained the decision in relief while Frank Lary, appearing in relief for the first time this year, suffered his sixth loss compared to two wins. Gus Zernial ended the Athle tics' string of 29 consecutive scoreless innings with a two-run first-inning homer and paved the way for Alex Kellner to win his first game. Zernial also homered in the seventh for the Athletics and Vic Power connected for his third. Roy Sievers hit No. 9 and Jim Lemon No. 2 for the Sena tors.

These select four who accept invitations to compete are Meryn Lincoln of Australia, Derek Ib botson and Brian Hewson of Great Britain and Laszlo Tabori of Hungary. Lincoln is the latest of the "under four minute" milers, hav ing raced the distance at Mel bourne March 23 in 3:58.9. As the only one of the four to break four minutes this year, Lincoln was expected to be favored on the Coliseum track before some 40.000 track and field enthusi asts. The Australian runner, pro tege of the retired John Lundy, would only say that the race would be as good as the pace set by his competitors and he would not guess what the possibilities were of breaking Landy's world record of 3:58. Should the race, however, be come -one of tactics in which vic tory is the objective rather than breaking the record, then Jerome Walters of the Southern Cali fornia Striders might well beat the select quartet. ' Gun Club Slates Sunday Practice Medford Gun club traps will be in operation for practice this Sunday. Traps will open about 10 a.m., Club President Bert Peck re ported. It is planned to shoot skeet, 16-yard and handicap targets, if shooters want them. The Ed Pease handicap will be con tested if their are - sufficient shooters. Jack Burns of the Medford club was Class C winner at 16 yards with an 83 in a shoot at Klamath Falls last Sunday. HEY CUDS!

Plumley in the Tornado Baseballers To Face Grants Pass In Conference Finale Medford high closes its South ern Oregon conference baseball season here Friday aiming for a tie for third place in the final standings. The Black Tornado will be host to the conference champion Grants Pass nine. A seven inning league fracas is set for 2:30 p.m. with a five inning non-counter to follow. While the Cavemen have long since tucked away the crown, the Tornado baseballers can sal vage prestige by whipping the GP nine and earn a split in loop play with the champs and tak ing the extra fray. Grants Pass took the other loop encounter 3 to 0. 1 Medford will be working for a third spot share with Klamath Falls which has concluded its play with a 4-4 record. Crater is guaranteed of second with 5-3. Tornado players aim to improve an 3-4 mark. Southern Cal, For PCC Code Spokane (IT) Southern Calif ornia and " Idaho were fined $1,000 each yesterday for viola tions of the Pacific Coast Con ference code. Idaho was fined for illegal in terviewing of prospective stu dents, presumably English track men, by "a track coach." USC drew its fine for state ments made by "a basketball 'coach of an official or officials" during and after a conference basketball game last season. Names, places, times and other details of s the incidents were not disclosed by confer borg of California, but it was known that Idaho has at least five English students on campus who turned out for track. They included distance ace Ray Hat ton, who previously had men tioned discussing the Idaho cur riculum with a track coach. By RUSS NIELSEN Spokane, Wash. IIP) A Paci fic Coast conference spokesman said some action "whether posi tive or not" was to be taken to day on the question of aid to athletes. There was widespread belief the issue will be postponed until the winter meeting Dec. 1-5 in San Francisco. At present, athletes are per mitted not more than $100 per month at each school. Some schools maintain the cost-of-living in their areas , makes that figure unrealistic. Dr. Glenn Seaborg of Califor-r nia, conference spokesman, said "action whether positive or not" would be taken on the aid ques tion today. The nine representatives threw UCLA and Southern Calif ornia for a loss Wednesday by refusing to restore a half-season of eligibility to next year's ,sen ior gridders at the two schools. The vote was 5 to 4 against with Oregon, Oregon State, Washington State, Stanford and Idaho opposing. USC Petition Defeated At the same time by a vote of 7 to 2, a USC petition to have its probationary term ended as of July 1 was defeated. The or der of that vote was not given. The representatives by a vote Dick McLaughlin is the likely pitching choice of Coach John Kovenz for the conference brush with Ernie Tyler possibly getting the call for the second engage ment. Tutor Mel Ingram of the Cavemen may call on Ken Long anecker and Bill Domalgo for the hill assignments. One of the Tornado objectives on Friday will be to end the season with a record of more vie tories than defeats. To do so Med ford will have to take both games frm the Cavemen. A split would give the local a break even year, The year's standing at the mo ment is 10 wins, 10 losses and one tie. The twinbjll is the final team competition of the school year for Medford high athletes. A group of trackmen will be in Portland on Saturday for the state AAU meet but contention will be individual and no team scoring will be kept. Idaho Fined Violations of 8 to 1 ended the University of California's probationary status put into effect lart year as a re sult of the aid scandal. Penalties were inflicted on four schools last year after dis closures of illega1 aid payments to athletes in violation of the conference code. UCLA was given three years probation, USC and Washington two years each and California one. Gridders at the schools lost one year's eligibility but last year the conference relented and allowed seniors to play half a season or five games. California was restored to good graces because the faculty men decided the school's athletic program "now is operated upon a sound basis in strict accord ance with conference rules." ' Cal To Skip IRA Regatta Berkeley, Calif. (IB Cali fornia's crew, a fixture in the IRA regatta for half a century, is skipping the classic this year because of a disappointing sea son on the West Coast. The Bear varsity scored an upset victory over Wisconsin and defeated Southern Cali fornia and UCLA twice each but lost to Washington and Stan ford. Athletic Director Greg EngeJ hard, announcing the decision in Spokane, Wash., said the step was taken since the school's policy in entering national com petition 'is based on the results of contests on the Pacific Coast." Ky Ebright, who has coached the Bears to six IRA victories since coming here in 1924, said he felt "regretful" over the move as the Bears hadn't missed an IRA row since 1926.

Diamond Lake Will Begin on Rogue Good Portland (IP) Beginning Sat-1 urday, all of Oregon will be open territory to anglers. Only limits on their excursions will be snow and bad roads leading to the high Cascade lakes and tributaries that will be opened to angling on that day; The state game commission said some 1000 new fishing holes would become available in the Cascades and Paulina mountains. Paulina lake is free of ice, but snow remains in many camp ing areas. East lake, however, should be clear for fishermen by the week end. In the Deschutes area, Crane Prairie roads are open to Gales and Robideaux landings and into Cow camp. Cultus is open via Cow camp, but the road is bad. Elk lake is open via Fall River. Davis lake is accessible via High way 58. Lava lakes are open and there is a chance of reach ing Irish and Taylor lakes by the opening week end. Little Cultus, Sparks, Summit, Todd, and Waldo lakes are snowbound. Most of the high lakes in the Mt. Hood area are still snow bound. . Chains, Shovels Urged Skyline road into Olallie lake will not be open until the lat ter part of June. Passable roads include the Austin Hot Springs, Badger creek at Bonny cross ing, Harriet lake, Kingsley guard station, Larch mountain road, and the McCubbine gulch road. In addition to fishing gear, the game commission strongly urged anglers to carry chains and shovels but to leave trailer houses behind if they are head ing for Paulina and East lakes. Only parking spaces there are on the main road. Bag limit for most of the lakes is 10 fish per day, not more than five of them over 12 inches long. Contrary to other published reports, there was still plenty of room for trailers as of today at the Diamond lake camp ground. That was the word this morning from Larry Neely and Bill Cox, camp proprietors. . Fishing season opens Satur day at the lake and a horde of anglers are expected to try their luck. Mrs. Neely told the Mail Trib une this morning that the "camp ground is in the best shape she's seen it at this time of year with only slight patches of snow. She also stated that the road is in the best shape she's seen it at this time of year with only slight patches of snow. She also stated that the road is in better shape than at this stage of the season in past years. While there was plenty of campground room, Mrs. Neely advised fishermen with trailers to get to the lake as early as possible since it's hard to predict what the situation will be in a day or two. About 20 trailers were already on the grounds. The camp provides tables, wood and water along with space for camping. or i Fish Season Saturday; tor Chinook Cole Rivers, Grants Pass, game commission biologist and field man, said this morning that the fish and game agency antici pates good catches of Canadian rainbow trout up to 20 irtehes in length at Diamond lake. He reminded anglers of the limit of 10 fish per day with no mere than five over 12 inches in length. All Diamond lake tributaries are closed to angling, Rivers said. Currently closed also is the area in a 450-foot radius into the iake from the mouths of Silent and Short creeks. Roads are open along the south and east sides of" the lake, Rivers reported.
