First annual Oregon Water Ski championships at Garden er lake 16 miles northeast of Medford was the particular example of new enthusiasm and appeal as hundreds of spectators gathered on the short for the two day tourna ment. The women's state bowling tourney was held here for the first time and with the 387 consecutive game marathon achievement of Dennis Dunham bolstered in terest in the ball and pin sport at Medford lanes. Hudson Cup matches be tween the top pros and ama teurs of the northwest rival ed the annual Southern Ore gon Golf tournament for en thusiasm at Rogue Valley Country club. Interest in drag racing continued to grow as Southern Oregon Timing as sociation staged periodic events at its strip at Camp White and climaxed with the Northwest Gasoline cham- e pionships and the fabulous i Glass Slipper. Stadium Built In addition there was the usual run of major tourna ments such as the Rogue Val lejC Retriever club field trial, the Western Speedboat asso ciation races at Emigrant lake, the Southern Oregon Bowling handicap and the Southern Oregon Kennel club show. Hardtop auto races con tinued to attract although on a lesser scale than past years Construction of a small but ttractive stadium at the Vet erans Administration domicil iary was a boost to both soft- ball and baseball, particularly revitalizing the Jackson Coun ty Softball association and providing a home for a semi Dro baseball club and the popular Rogue Valley Dairy- Maids girls softball nine Naming the No. 1 athletic achievement of 1957 could provoke considerable debate It may seem that the peren nial Success of the Medford high track and field team is a matter of routine.
