s 12 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Sunday, April 6, 1958 avemen Trip mgm Grants Pass high, rated the No. 1 track and field power in Southern Oregon, matched its reputation with perform ance here Saturday afternoon to capture the Kiwanis tro phy in the 19th annual Rogue relays. And as predicted, host Medford was the strongest challenger. The Cavemen, collecting first places in six of the 12 events and setting a record in one, tabulated 90 points, nine better than the Medford Black Tornado's 81. These two were well ahead of the rest of the field. Marshfield had 54, Crater 48, Klamath Falls 36 and Ashland 12. Two records were shatter ed. Glen Winningham heaved the javelin a tremendous 207 feet-6 inches for Grants Pass for one of them.- Hardy Spur geon, Marshfield's big all- around athlete hurled the dis cus 157-5V for the other. Medford Wins Three Other triumphs for the Cavemen were in the 440 yard, 880-yard, two-mile and shuttle hurdle relays, the javelin and the pole vault. Medford claimed the shot put, high jump and distance med ley relays. Marshfield the broad jump relay and Crater the mile relay race. Top individual efforts of the day included a 6-foot 2 inch high jump by Fred Thomas, Grants Pass, a 53-9 Vi sholput by Mike Murray, Medford :50.4 and :51 flat quarter-miles by Mike Russell, Medford, and a 12-434 pole vaule by Mike Sparlin, Grants Pass. - Medford 16-11 in the high jump tabulation was just one inch better than that of Grants Pass. George Koch jumped 5-11, and Pete Ras mussen and Jerry Shults each had 5-6 for the Tornado while Sparlin and Buford Smith each 5-4 for the Cavemen. Frank Albert had a put of 47-6V4 and Jim Funston a shove of 46V in combining for the Tornado's 147-5 ip the shot. Almost Took Mile Russell's :51 flat was in the distance medley which Medford won by a quarter of a lap. The :50.4 almost en abled the Tornado to take the mile- relay. Crater and Grants Pass had that race pretty much to themselves for a while after the first lap. Med ford lagged far. Then Ron Reich closed the gap consid erably in the third leg. Russell, starting the anchor lap, was 80 to 90-yards be hind the leaders. He over took Paul Lindquist of the Cavemen on the home stretch and was only a yard or so behind Jerry Kime when the Crater anchor hit the tape.

John Harvey, Medford, taking sea ond with 12 feet, his best ef fort, indicated that he may challenge the GP man for dis trict laurels. Jones Comes Up Grants Pass took the quarter-mile relay by 15 strides, with Jim Klett leading in the Marshfield anchor. Medford finished third and a bad first baton exchange kept it from doing better. John Jones of the Tornado ran a torrid last lap. The GP two mile team won with fair ease and the Cavemen 880 crew by about nine yards. Marshfield's 56-834 in the broad jump compared to Med- ford's 55-514 for second place Pirate jumps were Walt Hunter 19-83,4, Gary Fossi 19-2 and Ray Bright 17-9V4 Lindquist of GP with 19-9 nipped Hunter for best leap honors. Winningham had the wind behind him for the long jave lin toss but maintained that factor didn't actually help his long throw.

Tornados Jobless Dropping In State Totals, But Still High - Salem OPI About 8,300 fewer Oregon workers were seeking employment at the be ginning of this month than last month, the State Unem ployment compensation com mission said Saturday. The number of unemployed dropped from 73,600 to. 65, 300 during March but this was still above the first of April a year ago. Improvement was noted in outside activities with a better March than Oregon usually experiences weather - wise. Employment increases in lumbering, construction and agricultural work were re ported by local commission offices. All offices noted a larger number of jobless in then area than in 1957 but only the Astoria and Ontario of fices did not find an improve ment during the past month. Payments to insured unem ployed reached $5,636,921 during March, highest March total in the commission's his tory and only exceeded by the preceding two months. The unemployment trust fund balance was at $26,250. 000 and employer tax rates would all have gone to 2.7 per cent if Gov. Robert D. Holmes had not requested a 14 million dollar loan from the Federal government. Insured claimants dropped from the mid-January peak of around 52,000 to about 39, 000, but the number of people who have drawn all their benefits now stands at about 13,000. This is more than twice the number of persons who had exhausted their benefits at this time last year. Most of those who have ex hausted their benefits are still without jobs, the commis sion said.

The SOC Red Raiders man aged to come from behind to Kansas City Happy Over Terry Deal By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer The Kansas City Athletics are chortling in the belief they "put one over" on the mighty New York Yankees when they acquired Ralph Terry. Terry was a mere pawn last summer when the Yank ees swung their big deal in volving Billy Martin and Harry Simpson but he's de veloped so fast that Kansas City coach Spud Chandler, an ex-Yankee pitching great, says he can win 20 games this year. "He's got all the tools to do it," said Chandler after Terry went the route for the second time this spring in. a 5-1 victory Friday over the Pittsburgh Pirates. "I would n't trade Terry for any pitch er in the league, except pos sibly Herb Score, and that goes for Whitey Ford and Billy Pierce." Shut Out Phillies Terry had only a 5-12 rec ord last season but in 1956 had a 13-4 mark at Denver and late that season was im pressive in a couple of start ing assignments against the Boston Red. Sox. In Terry's previous outing he shut out the Philadelphia Phillies, 4 0, and he now has pitched 22 consecutive innings with out permitting an earned run. Two other games both at night were played on Good Friday. A two-run hom er by Frank Robinson spark ed the Cincinnati Redlegs to a 6-3 victory over the Wash ington Senators while the Chicago White Sox edged the St. Louis Cardinals 6-5, on Sherm Lollar's two-out single in the ninth inning. France Plans To Become Atom Power in 1958 Paris (IP) France intends to become a major atomic power in 1958. The nation whose scientists first discovered radioactivity in 1896 feels it has finally reached the point where it can join the "atomic club" hitherto monopolized by the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union. Membership has been lim ited to these three nations be cause they alone have the atomic bomb. But rumors have been circulating here for months that the French may explode their own atom bomb this spring. Whether the French do or not makes little difference from their point of view, since they are hard at work on many other projects. The Handicaps An atomic submarine is under construction and pri vate industry may start work this year on an atomic tanker. New energ y-producing plants also will open up. The new developments not only will put France in a bet ter political bargaining posi tion, but also give the nation a badly needed psychological shot-in- the-arm. J During 11 patient and often frustrating years, French sci entists have been working on building up the country's atomic energy program. Bri tain, America and Russia, all got off to a head start while Frange was under wartime occupation. Also the French have been hampered by lack of money, lack of basic atomic information and lack of trained scientists. At present, France has 7,000 atomic scientists and techni cians. Under a new program she hopes to get 12,000 more. Isotope Factory Also under the new pro gram, France will benefit from additional equipment. Two new atomic piles should start operating this year, and three next year. The government is also building an isotope factory to produce uranium 235 essen tial to bombs, engines and power stations. The national ized electricity industry is building at atomic power sta tion in the Loire Valley town of Chinon. The atomic energy plant at take the lead in both games, scoring all their runs in the second inning of each game. The five run second inning in the first game was enough to put SOC in front but Hum boldt came back with one run in the fifth and two each in the sixth and seventh to win. The second game was the same story when the Raiders picked up their three runs in the second to lead 3-1 before Humboldt scored twice in the fifth to take the winning mar gin. Wilber Has Three Hitter Dave Wilbur of the HSC Lumberjacks pitched three- hit ball in the second game as winning pitcher. Dave D'Olivo was the loser. Win ning hurler of the first game was Jim Richardson with Ker- mit McLemore suffering the loss and giving up four hits and four runs in six innings. Rich Dudley of the 'Jacks was the hitter of the day. He knocked out a single, double, and triple in four trips to the plate and knocked in one run in the first game. Dudley doubled in the second game in four trips to the plate but he got on twice more on an er ror and filder's choice. Nick Ciznick of HSC also hit three for four in the first game picking up two singles and a double. Ron Maurer was trie only Raider to get more than one hit in either game. He picked up two singles in the first game, driving in two runs. MeLemore Doubles Leroy King let off the big Raider inning in the first game with a free pass and was sacrified to second. Gordie Thoreson drew another walk and both runners moved ahead on an infield out. Pitcher McLemore then doubled scoring both runners Three more consecutive walks followed producing the third run and Larry Maurer's single brought in two more as the Raiders sent ten men to the plate. Raider Jim Dietz led off the scoring spree in the sec ond game by singling to right Two errors following pro duced a run and a wild pitch by Wilbur sent across anoth er. Larry Maurer knocked across the final run on a single' to right. The two wins gave Hum boldt the series edge two games to one.

Rose Swims To New Mark New Haven, Conn. (IP) Murray Rose, Australia's 19-year-old record-buster, hung up his third mark in the Nar tional A. A. U. swimming championships Saturday in winning the 440-yard freestyle event at Yale's Payne Whit ney pool. Rose, winner of three gold medals in the 1956 Olympics, flashed the distance in 4:21.6 to win easily. His time war far and away better than runT nerup Jon Henricks, A fellow Aussie teenager, who was timed in 4:36.9. Rose previous ly covered the distance in 4:19.5, a mark that has been submitted for world record recognition. Both he and Hen ricks are University of Cali fornia freshmen. Arizona State Drops Iowa Tempe, Ariz. HP) Arizona State ' college at Tempe won 11 of 14 events Saturday to night to soundly thump Iowa of the Big Ten 77-45 in a dual track meet. Two new stadium records were set set by Arizona State's Alex Henderson, the distance star from Australia, who ran the two - mile in 9:14.7; and Tom Whetstine of Arizona State, who highjump ed 6.714". Legend has it that a Hohner harmonica carried in the shirt pocket of Frank James, Jesse's brother, once deflect ed a bullet and saved Frank's Marcoule, south of Paris, now generates 5,000 kilowatts but uses 10,000 kilowatts in doing so. But its new reactor will produce 70,000 kilowatts eco nomically compared to 80,000 now being generated by Bri tain's Calder Hall. By 1965, France plans to have an atomic energy plant turning out 800,000 kilowatts or five per cent of France's current consumption of elec trical energy. TEEING OFF at Augusta, Ga., Ken Venturi, San Fran cisco, rated man to beat in Masters Tournament, is followed by large gallery before play starts. (International) Palmer, Sneed Tie In Master Tourney Augusta, Ga. HP) Sturdy young Arnold Palmer of Lat robe, Pa., dropped a 25-foot putt on the 18th green Satur day to tie Sam Snead with a 68 and 211 total going into the final round of one of the tensest of all Masters golf tournaments.

"My biggest ambition in life is a shot at the welter weight title," the- "Keed" from Camaguey said. "After that, I want to fight for the middleweight championship. I think I can take Sutrar Rav Robinson and I've already beaten Carmen Basilio." The 32-year-old Gavilan can still din into his stnrv past for his famous left hook to help his quest for a return to the throne room. The blow smashed into the body turned every tide and enabled him to gain a hard fought split-decision triumph over Jones of Yonkers, N.Y., in their nationally televised bout Friday night. x Gavilan gained his tri umph, his 105th in a 15-year career, on the votes of iudeei Jim Mina and Nate Lopinson. Mina scored it 47-44 in favor of Gavilan under Pennsyl vania's five-Doint-must svs- tem. Lopinson went 47-43 for uavilan. Referee Joe Sweenv saw it 46-44 for Jones. United Press had it 45-42 for Gavilan. The defeat was the 22nd for Jones in 71 bouts. Gavi lan has f ought in 141 matches. Montreal Downs Spokane, 15-8 Vero Beach, Fla.
