'Shocking'

New York W The American '
Medical association has ordered '
an investigation into the "shock-
ing" use of stimulants by ama
teur and professional athletes.
Charges of "indiscriminate"
use of stimulants by athletes, in
cluding school children, were
made before the AMA's lOfith
Sinual meeting Wednesday by
Dr. Herbert Berger.
Eerger, chairman of the New
York State Medical society's
committee on narcotics and al
cohol eddiction, told the AMA

Hunting and Fishing
Southern Oregon
By MEL
Although there has been a de
cline in the local stream fish
ing (this does not Include the
upper Rogue where the fisning
has been generally fair) there
has been an upsurge in lake fish
ing. Most of the thousands of ang
lers who thronged the major
fishing spots over the long, Mem
orial Day week end caught fish
and those who didn't must have
enjoyed the marvelous weather.
Reports from these places and in
dications of what to expect are
listed below.

Investigation Ordered
The house of delegates, the
association's top policy-making
body, then went a step further
and ordered an investigation.
The resolution singled out am
phetamine as an undesirable
stimulant used by athletes.
Amphetamine is used as an
inhalant or spray for head colds,
hay fever and other complaints,
but can also be taken in pill
form. It is sold under a variety
of trade names including Benze
drine, Phendrine, AUodrene, Iso-
myn and Dexedrine.
Berger said amphetamine is
sold in volume second only to
aspirin. Manufacturers, he said,
turn out six billion pills a year.
Leading coaches in the sports
world immediately branded Ber
ger's charges "ridiculous."
They were unanimous in stat
ing that to their knowledge ath
letes did not use stimulants be-

a month before. This gave the
water a chance to warm. These
Kamloops spawn according to
the water conditions and this
month of clear, warming water
started them spawning so they
were right in the middle of this
phase when the season opened.
The warmer water also pro
duced the largest bug hatch seen
there for some time and this
combined to keep the fish so
well fed that they are very hard
to catch.
In approximately two weeks
they will be through spawning
and the fishing should pick up
to expectations at that time
Some nice catches have been
taken on flies in the middle of
the lake using a Golden Demon
with plenty of orange on it.

that it is v e r y unpredictable.

silverside has been caught in the
Chetco river. Trout fishing is

new one. Sid Blood reports that

By UNITED PRESS
Oregon coaches today gener
ally scoffed at reports by the
American Medical association
that amphetamine "pep-up" pills
were widely used by American
athletes at the risk of their
health.
Track Coach Bill Bowerman
at the University of Oregon said
the report was "the most ridic
ulous thing I've ever heard of."
Bowerman said the achieve
ment of the four-minute mile by
modern-day athletes had no re
lation to drugs.
He listed three reasons: Track
men run faster because of "better
training methods and better
Iquipmeiit such as shoes and
tracks and because as athletes
j they are better." Also, he said,
j trackmen train longer nowa
days.
Coach Tommy Prothro at Ore
gon State college said "I've
never been any place where
they used stimulants in football.
At Oregon State we give our
players Coca Cola." Prothro
commented, "It's hard to under
stand how a medical authority
could sit down and see what
somebody's doing on television."
Paul Durham of Linfield said
"we don't even believe in dead
ening the joints of injured ath
letes so they can play."
And Dr. Paul Stagg of Pacific
university said most coaches
give their players oranges and
chocolate bars for quick energy.
"If this thing starts," he said,
"they'll have to have some pro
tection. They give horses a sa
liva test."
Lemley Leads
Drivers; Races
Wayne Lemley, jockey of A-
57, will be out to protect his
point leadership Saturday night
when the hardtop autos roll in
the third performance of sea
son at Valley View speedway
near Ashland.
Lemley has piled up 64 point
ers in his first two week ends
of racing in the Rogue Valley
Racing association con tention.
His nearest challenger is Bud
Cook who drives K-4. Cook has
53 and is followed by Bob Rose's
52 for his M-45.
Crock Hunter with his 15-X is
in the thick of rivalry with 51
and thereby running strong in
the effort to defend the champ
ionship to claimed last season.
Bob McGilvray in C-50 has 46
and Art Pollard in R-87 has 40.
Two drivers with 38 points
are Ted Sletten in M-21 and Jim
Standley with R-22 while Bob
Wilcox has gained 36 with M-3.
Lou Kurz has 31 for M-7 and
John Jones in M-5 and Ray Ash
er in C-l each 29.
Regular Program
A standard program of time
trials, two trophy dashes, four
heat races, a semi-main race and
a main event are scheduled Sat
urday. Drivers from Roseburg
will be missing because of a con
flicting race but a considerable
delegation from Klamath Falls
and northern California is ex
pected to battle it out again with
drivers from Medford and Ash
land areas.
Time trials are planned for
7 p.m. and the first trophy
sprint at 8 p.m.
Work this week to improve
the track has been reported by
Manager Phil Bryant. There has
been three days hauling of clay
to surface the oval and. The
clay is being spread, graded and
rolled to have the track ready
for the week end pounding by
spinning tires.
To Discuss Start Method
A meeting has been called for
Friday at the track to talk over
the order of cars for starting in
the main and semi-main. In the
two race program so far this
season a coin flip has decided
whether the fast-time cars would
be in the lead for the green flag
signal or whether the start

Laurels Go
To Van Horn

College right-hander George Van
Horn took up pitching honors
for the 1957 Northern division
baseball race, according to sta
tistics released today.
Although working for a last
place club, the Cougar mounds
man notched a perfect 4-0 rec
ord. Three other hurlers, Wash
ington's George Kritsonis and
Daryl Burke, and Oregon's Rol
lie Heath wound up with 2-0
records.
A junior. Van Horn won four
of the five games WSC played
in this spring for an earned run
average of 2.70.
Randall KO King
Strikeout king was Idaho's
Doug Randall, who won only
one of six starts although he fin
ished all six games and allowed
a combined batting average of
.185. He fanned 46 men, well
ahead of Oregon's Stan Dmo
chowsky with 32.
League workhorse turned out
to be Oregons State's Sylvester
Johnson, who appeared in seven
games and pitched 60 innings.
WSC's Bruce Boldt faced the
most batters, 240, in working
59 13 innings.
Burke, Husky sophomore,
gave up the most walks- 25, and
Vandal rookie Hinchley hit the
most batters, six.
Hardtop

would be inverted with the hard
tops timing in slowest getting the
front positions.
Echoes from the crowd last
week end indicated spectator dis
proval of fast cars getting the
advantage of opening in front.
The matter of chance through
coin flip did not appear popular.
It is probable that some sort
of handicapping system will be
proposed.
Driver points in the weekly
races are determined by time
trials, trophy dash performance
and the positions in which cars
finish in the main and semi-main.

VAD Records 3-1 Win
Over GP Semi-Pros
Ricker Field, Camp White
Two pitching rivals of the re
cent high school baseball season
were mound opponents again
last night and their efforts help
ed produce a real crowd pleaser
at Camp White tripped the
Grants Pass Merchants 3 to 1
in a non-loop semi-pro encounter
here.
Grants Pass, reported short on
pitching talent, came up with a
logical answer to the problem
with Jim Smith, who hurled the
Climate city prepsters to the
Southern Oregon conference dia
dem. The Veterans Administra
tion d o m i c i 1 a ry aggregation
countered with Fred Herrmann,
twirler for Crater high, which
was runner-up to GP in the
prep circuit.
Smith limited the VAD to a
scant two hits in a'losing cause.
But the Whiters managed to
make full use of both the bin
gles, combining them with a cou
ple of bases on balls, two
groundouts and an error for
their scores.
Herrmann Fans 15
Herrmann yielded six hits but
whiffed a total of 15 batters
and issued fewer free passes to
the bases than Smith. The ex
Crater thrower gave up only
two walks and hit one batter.
Smith, who had five strikeouts,
walked five Camp Whiters and
hit two with pitches.
Ted Landers, still with the
VAD club, although due to enter
military service this week end,
led off the Camp White first in
ning batting turn with a Texas
league stafety to left field. His
brother, Ned Landers, drew a
base on balls The twins advanc
ed to second and third bases on
a passed ball and Richie Price
got on board first base on an er
ror. Dick Wooton then ground
out but the rap scored Ted Lan
ders. That was all the run-making
until the eighth inning. In that
canto Don Sanford was safe at
first base on an error. Price was
walked then Dick Wooton drove
in his second run of the evening
with a sharp liner to left pas
ture. Dick Smith forced out
Price at third with a grounder
and, when the Merchants tried
to get Smith for a double out.
Wooton romped to third base.
Wooton then tallied on Charles
Rettman's groundout.
Herrmann gave up no more
than one hit an inning until the
ninth. In that frame Jay Reese
of GP popped a fly safely into
right field. He went to second
base on a wild pitch. Mel
Friend brought Reese across the
plate with blistering grounder

Three Straight Strikeouts
Don Jacobson drew a base on
balls to put the possible tying
run on base with no outs. But
Herrmann struck out Les Shaw,
Ken Merrill and Greg Stewart
to pull out of a tight spot and !
end the game.
Friend was the only player
with more than one hit with i
two singles in four times up. i c
Some good defensive work by
the VAD was combined with
Herrmann's chucking to stem
GP offensive threats. A Mer
chant runner was caught swip
ing to erase any damage from
one hit and a double play wiped
out the challenge of another
safety.
Camp White has now won
three non-league contests with
Rogue Valley loop foes. The
