Time trials, as usual, are planned for 10 a.fn. First races are at 1 p.m. SOTA members made their most recent appearance last Thursday, helping the YMCA with the presentation of its fire works show. Members paraded their cars and Jerry Lausmann, publicity man for the group out lined the history of the SOTA and drag dacing in this area. Lausmann told the audience in part: "In 1949. a group of boys got together at one of the local drive-in restaurants and decided to hold a drag on an abandoned street in the Camp White area. This was a very good idea and several drags were held. How ever, the dangerous part of this plan was the time at which they were held, 12 o'clock midnight. They were called the Midnight Drags. In addition to being dan gerous, some of the state police cars were faster than ours, and resulted in a great many citations presented to the boys. Obtain CW Street In 1952 after seeing the folly of night drags, Glenn Jackson was approached with the idea of leasing to racers one of the bet ter streets in the Camp White area. As a result the SOTA was born. In the beginning the SOTA was comprised of two clubs, the Wheelers and the Galaxy Flyers, now known as the Road Knights. The total membership was about 25, and everyone cooperated in running off our drags- During the next few years in terest started falling off and the drags became mediocre. Then in 1955 the old association was re organized and. incorporated into what it is today, an organization of over 100 members strong from Medford, Ashland, Talent, Phoe nix and Central Point, who make up the individual clubs. They are: The Wheelers Medford; the Road Knights Ashland; the Swiftons Medford. The majority of the members are in their teens and you will find them safe and courteous drivers on the streets and high ways. The members are educated to respect and comply with traf fic laws and should any fail to do this, stern measures are taken by the association. In addition to paying a fine a member may be suspended from the association for an indefinite time or per manently. You may find drivers on the road, of all ages, who drive in a reckless manner and may chal- The regulations by species: Mourning doves: The bag and possession limit for states west of the Mississippi river remains at 10.

Same Regulations Band-tailed pigeons: The 1956 regulations permitting the taking of this species in two zones in California and in Oregon and Washington will remain in ef fect during the 1957-58 season unless the states recommend an adjustment of hunting dates. Dif ferent hunting dates not exceed ing a season length of 31 days may be recommended within the Sept. 1-Jan. 10 framework. The daily bag and possession limit will remain at 6. Waterfowl, coots and Wilson's snipe in Alaska the season for waterfowl with exceptions and coots will begin on Sept. 1 and continue through Nov. 29. The closing date last year was Nov. nn The Alaska season for Wilson's snipe will begin Sept. 1 and ex tend through Oct. 15. The 1956 season was Sept. 1-Sept. 30. The bag and possession limits on waterfowl generally and on coots and Wilson's snipe in Alas ka remain unchanged except for a reduction in the number of American and red-breasted Mer ganser ducks which may be taken. i Sunday, July 7. 13S7 with ease, quenched the fire In Darlene s usual slam-bang, net rushing play. Miss Gibson shared a second Wimbledon championship when she teamed with Miss Hard to win the women's doubles final with a 6-1, 6-2 triumph over Thelma Long and Mary Hawton of Austrailia.

These drivers should be reprimanded by the public- Un fortunately unsafe drivers have too often been dubbed as Hot Rodders for lack of a better name. Their real names are "squirrels" or "Yo Yos" in the vernacular of a true Hot Rodder. Most of them do not have any thing to offer and are afraid to face competition on a legalized strip before a large group of spec tators. The true Hot Rodder takes as much pride in his machine as does the owner of a valuable race horse and will do nothing to im pair or damage his reputation in the community or his machine. If you are interested in drag racing or you have a boy who is, it will pay ou to investigate our association by contacting us or the police department.

Don't Say "Hello" Say "FILTER-FLO" Rademacher True Life Joe Palooka By BILL FERGUSON Atlanta IP Olympic Cham pion Pete Rademacher, a true life "Joe Palooka" according to his backers, is ready proof that any red-blooded American boy can get a quick shot at the pro fessional heavyweight crown if he happens to have S250.000. Rademacher, "king of the amateur boxers," has other at tributes besides supporters will ing to part with a quarter of a million bucks. But it's no secret that the money did the most to secure the 28-year-old ex-soldier an Aug. 22 match with heavyweight champ Floyd Pat terson in Seattle, Wash. Rademacher is confident that he can give a good account of himself against Patterson and his financial supporters don't figure they've bought the Brook lyn bridge. Yes, Patterson's manager, Gus D'Amato, frankly admits that the $250,000 guarantee offer made by Rademacher's backers is what makes the match worth while. "As long as I manage Patter son he will fight whomever he wants to as long as we can get enough money," D'Amato said. Chang Due Rademacher, a former Wash ington State football star who speaks with Ivy league gram mar, said he doesn't care if sports writers do write off the match as a "ridiculous publicity stunt" and he insists "they will come around to my beliefs soon." The 212-pounder believes he has a better chance of beating Patterson than he would some of the top contenders such as Hurricane Jackson and Eddie Machen. Patterson meets Jack son July 29 in New York. "My style is nght for Pat terson," he said, "while I might have a lot of trouble with Jack son and Machen. "I've been knocked out only once, and I don't think Patter son can put you down the way he keeps moving." Rademacher has actually been fighting longer than Patterson, another former Olympic boxing champ, and the Grand View, Wash., native considered turn ing pro twice before, once as early as 1952. One Round KO However, he stuck with ama teur boxing and in 1956 took the grand prize by capturing the Olympic heavyweight crown when he stopped Lev Mouk bine, a Russian, in the first round. The balding amateur said he started trying to line up a pro debut with the champ even be fore he went to the Olympic, but the match didn't materialize until he had taken the crown and Youth Unlimited Inc., a group of Columbus, Ga., busi nessmen chipped in the 5250,000. Mike Jennings, who heads the Columbus group willing to gam ble a quarter of a million for the crown, said that Youth Un limited is interested in placing "right Guy" champions in all sports as well as make money. "Rademacher is what you call a right guy," Jennings said. "He's a real life Joe Palooka." Traffic Judge Suburban Victor By UNITED PRESS Traffic Judge was retired to stud duty in Kentucky today after posting one of the greatest victories of his racing career, during which he finished out of the money only seven times in 44 starts. The 5-year-old son of Alibhai roared from behind Thursday to beat favored Dedicate and Lofty Peak in the S85.550 Suburban handicap at Belmont park in a blanket finish. Young Bill Prout Shines for Seals - San Francisco (IP Eighteen-year-old Bill Prout Jr., showing the poise of a veteran, led the San Francisco Seals to a 3-1 victory over Portland Fri day night, the third straight Pacific Coast league loss suffer ed by the Beavers at the hands of San Francisco. The youngster, who was grad uated from Downey, Calif., High school last month, drew acclaim from the crowd of over 4,000 in the sixth when with the bases loaded and only one out, he forced Billy Demars to fly out and closed Portland's half of the inning when pinch hitter Don Baich grounded to short stop.
