New Phase For Score Cleveland OP) Cleveland In dian pitcher Herb Score today begins a "new phase of re-adjustment" which eye specialist Dr. Charles Thomas believes will result in his return to the mound. Thomas, who has treated the southpaw since he was struck in the right eye by a batted ball May 7, said Thursday night, "I am certain Herb will regain his vision. Thomas offset his optimism, however, by refusing to predict when he thought Score could return to the mound. He said that would depend on how the eye, bandaged since the accident, re-adjusts to full light. Since the accident, measures have been taken to keep almost all light out of the eye. Now steps will be taken to accustom the eye to full light. During a limited press con ference Thursday, Score said, "I can see motion now but details are hazy and cloudy." He added, "It's gotten much better but it's better than seeing black ness, I'll tell you." Bob Ro sburg Heads Open Kansas City, Mo. ftP) Bob Rosburg, San Francisco profes sional regarded as one of golfs putting artists, held a one stroke edge today as the second round started in the $22,000 Kansas City Open. The 30-year-old Californian, known for his baseball grip, mas tered the Hillcrest Country club's fast, rolling greens for a 5 under par 67 in Thursday's opening round. Rosburg dropped birdie putts from 1 to 20 feet and was never over par, finishing with a 15' footer on No. 18. He began poorly. Former U.S. Open champion Lloyd Mangrum, Apple Valley, Calif., was just a stroke off Ros- burg's performance while Ed Furgol, St. Andrew, III., had a 70. Defending champion Bob Win- inger, Odessa, Tex., also cut two strokes off Hillcrest's par-72 as did AI Besselink, Grossingers, N.Y.; Billy Marwell, Odessa, Tex.; Pat Schwab, Dayton; Tom Nieporte, Cincinnati and Gary Player, Johannesburg, South Africa.

OP) The Pa cific Coast conference had a new aid to athletes policy today along with the same old buga boo of secession which has plagued the group since last year's disclosure of illegal pay offs. Even while the conference's faculty members were loosening the lid Thursday on the amount of money an athlete can receive, alumni representatives of penal ized UCLA were preparing to go before the regents today in Westwood and discuss the school's relationship with, the conference. A move to have next fall's crop of banned seniors at UCLA and Southern California play for half the season as was the case last year was beaten down Wednesday by the PCC by a vote of 5-4. Trying To Be Sensible "We haven't decided what is the right thing to do yet," Alum ni Association Director Harry J. Longway . said. "If withdrawal is the right thing, then that's what we might do. We're trying to be sensible about the whole matter." Meanwhile, back at the meet ing, the following changes were made:' Under a new plan, which will apply only to football and bas ketball players, an athlete will be able to receive twice the go ing rate of $2 per hour for a maximum amount of six hours per week when his sport is in season. Thus he could work for $4 per hour for a total of $24 per week. At the same time, he still could not earn more than the present ceiling of $100 per month. May Reject An athlete may reject this plan in favor of another job which might pay more in the long run but he could not change his mind later in the year when his sport opened. This plan replaced another one in which aid would have been based on the cost of living at various schools. Dr. Glenn Seaborg, confer ence spokesman, said he voted against the new policy because it contained a "hidden subsidy" stemming from the basic scale of $2 per hour. But Conference Commissioner' Victor O. Schmidt described it as a "more realistic FOR GRADUATES for the GIRL graduate: nu trawl WARDROU CAM w women-pi""'1 brt.r1or j i a S19a im The Buds For Quality Duds way of compensating an ath lete." . The faculty representatives also ruled that, starting in Sep tember of 1960, prospective ath letes must have had a 2.5 C-plus average in preparatory subjects at high school in order to play in college sports. This new policy has to be rati fied by the PCC President's council. Other Action: Tackle Dick Enright of South ern California was granted per mission to play in five games this year. He was among seniors granted a half-season of eligibil ity last year but could not play because of injuries. Changed this year's confer ence baseball playoffs between California and Oregon to May 30-31. Scheduled a conference cross country meet for UCLA on Nov. 9. Also slated May 23-24, 1958, for PCC track meet at Califor nia, golf meet at Stanford and tennis at Washington or Oregon State. Pilots Bill Pepperdine Portland (W University of Portland's opponent for an NCAA playoff berth against the PCC baseball champion will be Pepperdine of Los Angeles. The Pilots will meet Pepper dine in a best two-out-of-three series next week end at Mult nomah stadium; The winners meets the Oregon-California winner June 4-5 on the PCC champ's home dia mond for a berth in the quarter finals starting at Omaha June 8. Camp White Practice Set Camp White team of the Rogue Valley league will hold a practice session on Saturday. Manager Keith Johnson has called for a 2 p.m. workout on the senior high school field here. The Whiters will have the Veterans Administration domi ciliary field as their home and will have their first tussle on that diamond in a non-league with the Medford Cheney Studs on Thursday, May 30, Memorial day. . . a a a rlU twldi SI $! I Bros. Medford, Oregon Is That So? What's the most, dangerous mammal? When excited, a domestic bull can be downright daneerous. A tiger that has once tasted human I flesh, is certainly no house pet. A king cobra is a killer. All of these are dangerous. But when you define the ani mal as being enormously power ful, mean-tempered and aggres- sive, then that is a different mat ter. A bull will not harm a man, usually, unless he has been mo lested. A tiger, unless he is hungry. But for downright cussedness, power and - fierceness, big game hunters tell me that nothing will surpass the black buffalo of South Africa. This mammal, found from the Schools Pick Head Tutors Portland (IP) Three Oregon high schools have announced new coaching appointments for the next school year. Cascade high named George Shull, captain of the 1955 Idaho football team, as head football coach. Myrtle Creek named Bert Burr, a Linfield graduate, as head football coach. The new Madison high of Portland picked Don Pickens, ex-pole vaulter at the University of Oregon, as head track, coach. Fight Terms Agreed Upon New York (D1) C hairman Julius Helfand of the New York State Athletic Commission an nounced today "all the terms have been agreed upon" for a heavyweight title fight between Champion Floyd Pattrson and Tommy Hurricane Jackson at the Polo Grounds during the last week of July. Sportsmen Chapter Has Meeting Tonight Shady Cove chapter of the Oregon Sportsmen of Jackson county will hold a regular meet ing at 8 o'clock tonight at the Prospect Community hall. Plans will be made for the first an nual fish fry in June. Columbus Eyes First Division By UNITED PRESS The Columbus Jets, feasting on a recent diet of marlin, today are setting sight on the Interna tional league first division. Capitalizing on the strong pitching efforts of 23-year-old Don Kildoo, Columbus nipped the Miami Marlins, 1-0, in the only game played Thursday night. The victory, the Jets' sixth over Miami in the last 11 days, enabled them to move into a fifth place tie with Havana, just three games short of the first division. EDDIE O'BRIEN SHIFTED Pittsburgh (IP) Infielder pitcher Eddie O'Brien has been transferred by the parent Pitts burgh Pirates from the Holly wood club in the Pacific Coast league to the Columbus Jets in the International league. O'Brien still will be subject to 24 hour recall by the Pirates. FOR BETTER ILIlffltlfS Operation Home Improvement is now in full swing!

Call SP 2-5271 By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist Cape of Good Hope to the Congo, often known as the "Cape" buf falo, is exceedingly powerful and this power is backed up with enormous muscles, massive head and horns almost as strong as steel. He is never in good tem per and will charge at almost anything that is alive. The only way to escape certain death is to get out of his path as quickly as possible. And adds, Jerome S. Meyer, in his book of Amazing Facts (World, N. Y.) "more hunt ers have been killed by the Cape Buffalo than by any other any where in the world." To ge back to the cobra, the king cobra, of Siam is the most poisonous living thing in the world. Its glands are larger and its fangs can deliver more dead ly venom than any other animal or insect. In most instances, the bite of the king cobra proves fa tal within three hours and often death occurs in less than 60 minutes. Venom Dissolves The venom of the cobra dis solves and paralyzes the nerve cells, seriously damages the blood cells and acts on the res piratory system, causing slow suffocation while the heart be comes overstimulated. As for the most powerful, cer tainly that distinction must go to the whale, the largest of all animals of the past or present. There is an instance on record in which a comparatively small Antarctic killer whale, in an attempt to ' attack some sleigh dogs stranded on an ice floe, dived deeply under the floe and swam very swiftly upward with such force that the ice which was nearly five feet thick, was splintered into tiny fragments. In another record, Cap tain Nelson tells that while on a whaling expedition off the Si berian coast when his boat made fast to a giant blue, whale, the animal pulled the boat for seven hours at a speed never less than eight knots (about ten miles per hour) although the boat's engines were pushing it full speed in the opposite direction. Young 25 Feet Long The young of the blue whale, incidentally can be 25 feet long at birth and weigh up to 14,280 pounds. As for the largest land animal, that distinction goes to the bull African elephant which stands 11 feet at the shoulder and may exceed 14,000 pounds in weight. (In the U.S. the largest wild land animal is the bison, which if my memory serves me has weighed up t. 3,000 pounds.) Yet, for its size the smallest of all mammals, the shrew, is a deadly killer. And not to be overlooked, the tiniest of warm blooded animals, the fairy hum mingbird of Cuba. It weighs less than 1200 of an ounce! Yet de spite its tiny size hardly ever more than 2V4 inches it will fight birds four and five times its size and frequently rout them. (Copyright, 1957. By Eugene Burns) .
