PROBABLY FINEST The 1957 Medford high Irack and field crew is "prob ably tha finest we have ever had' Coach Bob Newland told Medford Kiwanis club members yesterday. Members of the Medford high track, baseball and basketball squads Track Coaches Newland and Lee Ragsdale and Baseball Coach John Kovenz and Eagle Point trackmen Jack Greb and Wayne Christian and Coach Stan Smith were Most of UO Varsity in AAU Tussle Portland (IP) Entries from the powerful University of Ore gon track and field team will highlight the annual state AAU track and field meet here at the Lincoln high school field Satur day.

Oregon State's entries will be headed by high jumper Wayne Moss. Junior and preliminary events will be held Saturday afternoon with the finals in the evening. Ford Heads Links' List Kansas City, Mo. OP) Most of the nation's leading money players headed by Masters cham pion Doug Ford teed off today in the $22,000 Kansas City open with Hillcrest Country club's first hole a big factor. Many fine golfers have been provoked to pouting over their putters after a tilt with the 250-yard hole, one of the tough est par-3 tests in the country. Only a perfectly played tee shot will reach the large green sur rounded by trees, ditches and traps. The fairway is narrow and razor-backed. Cellar ites Clip Salem By UNITED PRESS Lewiston's Broncs, doormats of the Northwest League, found a big welcome Wednesday night in their Oregon invasion. The Broncs clipped Salem 3-1 behind good, pitching by George New and then put together a 12 hit attack to 'sink the Senators 10-7 in the second game. New spaced three Salem hits in the opener. His teammates got him two runs in the first and Tom Bornmann homered in the second with the sacks empty. It was all New needed. Salem got off to a big five-run first inning in the nightcap but Lewiston got a single run in the third and went ahead with five runs in the fourth. Joe Jacobs' three-run double was the big blow of the inning. In the seventh the Broncs added four more markers on Ed Kelly's one-run single and a three-run homer by Nate Nickerson. Yakima continued its winning ways with a 9-8 overtime victory over the Tri-City Braves. Mike Coppola hit a two-run homer in the tenth to cement the Yakima victory. Vince Moreci and Herm Lewis had solo homers for the winners and Ellis Burton had a two-run homer in the third for the losers. Suit by Medford Man Dismissed at Klamath Klamath Falls (IP) Circuit Judge Charles Foster of Lake view Wednesday dismissed an action in a Klamath Falls Cir cuit Court in which a Medford businessman had challenged Klamath Union high school's purchase of land from a faculty member. Walter Hannon, who also is a Klamath county taxpayer, had brought suit challenging the school district's purchase of land from Mr. and Mrs. J. V. LaClair. LaClair is supervisor of the instruction materials de partment at the high school. Judge Foster dismissed Han non's suit with the ruling that although the law forbids a teach er from having pecuniary inter ests in the erection of a school house, securing land does not constitute construction. By DICK JEWETT Mail Tribune Sporti Editor Kiwanis guests yesterday at Rogue Valley Country club. Medford trackmen in A-l and Eagle Pointers in A-2 were honored as state champions. In his statement about the Tornado tracksters, Newland pointed to the outstanding per formances this year, particu larly of Neil Plumley in the shot put, Wally Larson in the hurdles and of the relay crew of Lorin Christean, Mike Rus sell, Pete Kershaw and Lar son which were among the best in the nation. The men tor declared thai, if the sea son were not so short, his athletes would rank, with any in the country. HARD TO DO BETTER Mention of Newland's move to North Eugene High school as vice principal next school year was made at the Kiwanis meet ing. Ragsdale, Medford city physical education supervisor, who coaches the Black Tornado weight men, commented that "it will be pretty hard for Bob to do anything better than he has been doing." TWO-MAN CREW Eagle Point Coach Smith remarked concerning his "dif ficulty" in rounding up his 2-A state championship team, all two of them, to come into Medford for the Kiwanis luncheon. Greb and Christian between them, of course, re corded all 40 of the Eagle tal lies last Saturday. Smith said that Greb, a junior, may go to Yuba Junior college. Marysville, Calif., next fall. Christian is a junior and will be back next spring to defend his stale discus and javelin togas. He won the A-2 javelin crown also in 1956,' MISS ON CLOSE ONES Coach Kovenz told the service club members the difference be tween this year's Medford base ball success and that of last year when the Tornado was run ner-up for the A-l state title. "Last year we won the close ones; this year we've not," Ko venz said. IN AAV MEET List of Medford high thin clads who'll vie in the Oregon AAU track and field meet Saturday evening in Portland, has been announced by New land. He said that Jerry Close will be entered in the broad jump, Neil Plumley and Mike Murray in the shot put, Wally Larson in both hurdles, Roger Johnson in the mile, Pete Ker shaw in the 220-yard dash and Les Lingscheit in the half mile. Plumley will aim for a 60 foot put in actual competi tion. He has two exhibition shoves of the 12-pound iron ball over that distance. Mur ray will gun for 50 feet or better. He already has reached 49 feet 9 inches, best heavy on record for a sophomore at Medford high. Larson has indicated he's out to make up for his slow times in stale meet hurdles and for his second place, in stead of first, in the low obstacles. His :15.7 in the highs last Saturday was his lowest time since he was a ninth grader in 1954, despite two hours of effort bf New land and Managers Ralph Stinson and. Bilbee Lane to fix up the water-logged lane. RIBBON WANTED Half-miler Lingscheit tells of the reason for his finishing spurt in the state track meet 830. He said he noted he was running in ninth place and realized he couldn't collect a ribbon unless he finished sixth or better. So he lit out. He wound up by tak ing second place. E P WITHOUT TRACK Success of the Eagle Point high trackmen this season just could provide the impetus in the community which would lead to construction of a cin der track at the athletic field The Eagles promenaded through the season with vic tories in the Little Rogue re lays, the Rogue league and A-2 sub-district meet and the full district contest without a real cinderpalh track of their own. Smith said he marked out c 220-yard track on the turf grass with stakes and as the season wore along a trail or path took form. MAY BE BEST It's nossible that W a v n Christian's 193-foot 9-inch jave lin throw in trm District fi A-2 tussle may have been the best legal one in Oregon prep circles so far this season. There's a re port that a northwest Oregon prepper who threw 198 feet was using an illegal snear and hasn't done so well with a legal one. Marlene Haqqe Golf Fayorite Asheville, N. C. IW Marlene Bauer Hagge of Dallas, Tex., was the logical favorite as play began today in the first annual Land of the Sky Women's Open golf tournament. However, the sentimental choice was school teacher Marge Burns, the North Carolina state amateur cham pion from Greensboro, who has a thorough knowledge of the local 6,200-yard, par-71 course.

Stream fishing has been general ly poor over the entire section but the lakes have been fair. It should be remembered that regardless of the reports and predictions concerning the fish ing there are always those an glers who can move into the poorest spot and come up with a limit. . This writer readily recognizes this fact but will continue to gauge the reports as they concern Mr. A (for aver age) Fisherman. Willow Creek Reservoir Still fishing was slow over the week end with the limits few and far between. There were, however, some trollers who had no trouble at all luring the fish on small flash baits. The fish are Dodgers Trade Elston To Cubs . Brooklyn (IPI The Brooklyn Dodgers today traded pitcher Don Elston to the Chicago Cubs for pitchers Vito Valentinetti and Jackie Collum in addition to two other unidentified play ers.

Klamath Lake Harriman's lodge reports there they are still catching fish but of course the really big ones got away as usual.

Chetco River Johnny Hewitt of Hewitt's Anchorage reports that the trout fishing is on the fair side, perch fishing at the mouth is fair, bottom fishing is good and the salmon are still from six to eight miles out Too far for sports fishermen as yet. Rogue River and Applegate Salmon fishing . is real slow. There seem to be plenty of fish in the river but the success ratio is pretty low. Trout fishing is poor in most sections of the rivers and probably will get no better as the season progresses. Gold Beach Johnny Wolf re ports that it didn't rain inches this past week end it rained feet' In spite .of the deluge the salmon fishing has been a little better than fair. Johnny says that there are enough fish being taken now to make it interest ing. The weather is clearing now and the fishing should pick up with the sunshine.
