Golf Title
Captured
By Goalby
Greensboro, N. C. (IP)
Young Bob Goalby gave up
three baseball bonus offers to
become a professional golfer,
and the payoff started Sunday
with a stunning win and
$2000 in the 21st annual
Greater Greensboro Open golf
tournament.
It was the first tournament
win for the little-known 27-
year-old athlete who gave up
his golf pro job at Darien,
Conn., only two weeks ago
after deciding it was "now or
never" with him and circuit
golf.
Goalby fired a brilliant fi
nal round 66, five under par,
for a 72-hoIe 275. He was two
strokes ahead of the closely-
bunched field who combined
at Starmount Forest Country
Club course for one of the
most exciting finishes in the
history of the $15,000 event
Puller Does II
Goalby, who had been trail
ing Sam Snead of White Sul
phur Springs, W. Va., by four
strokes at the 54-hole mark,
tapped his putter and said:
"This is what did it."
Snead had to settle for a
$1,080 share of the second
place pot.
Others in -the second-place
spot at 277 were Dow Finster
wald of Tequesta, Fla., Art
Wall Jr. of Pocono Manor, I
Pa., Tony Lema of Napa,
Calif., and Don January of
Eastland, Tex., whose amaz
ing final-round 64 tied the
course record.

as for a batting chamDion.
how can you beat a "perfect"
record like that of Bosox
slueaer Ted Williams?
The Red Sox, who have
been described by Yankees
manager Casey Stengel as the
rival he fears most in this
year's American league pen
nant chase, made Or Case
look good by winning 16 out
of 22 games against major
league opposition this spring
for a .727 winning percent
age. That's a comfortable lead
over the brand-new San Fran
cisco Giants, who had the
second best record a 21-11
won-lost record for a .656 per
centage that topped all other
National league teams.
Better Than Yankees
And it's a whole lot better
than the losing 14-16 record
of Stengel's Yankees. The
world champion Milwaukee
Braves were third in the
spring standings with a .571
average, while the two Chi
cago clubs, Cubs and White
Sox, tied for fourth at .563.
And how about that Wil
liams' Sheer perfection. He
went to bat only five times
all spring socked two hom
ers, singled once, and waiKea
twice. An ankle injury pre
vented the amazing 39-year-old
American league batting
champion from playing more
often and makes him a doubt

Tornado Performance Has
Bright Spots Despite 7th
Place In Hayward Relays
A disappointed Medford
high track and field team,
which finished well down
from the top Saturday in the
Hayward relays at Eugene,
came home determined to
prove in the weeks to come
that it is still a squad to be
reckoned with in Oregon cin
der circles.
Medford, after six straight
championships, was seventh
in the Hayward metro divi
sion won by Jefferson of Port
land. The Haywards ended relay
meet competition for the
Black Tornado and ahead are
the meets in which the stress
will be on individual efforts
to pick up points. Medford
in the forthcoming weeks will
gird for defense of district and
state A-l championships won
last year.
Next on the agenda for the
Tornado is the annual Rotary
club meet at Grants Pass. It
will be the first opportunity
to see how Medford cinder
men rank as individual per
formers among prep trackmen
in this area.
The Haywards gave indica
tion that there is bright hope
for - Medford in the future
Coach Dean Benson pointed
to some disappointments at
Eugene. But there were bright
spots. He felt that the Tor
nado, as a whole, performed
well and that juniors and
sophomores on the squad are
to be reckoned with in the
meets to come.
Strong Array
At the Eugene engagement
the Tornado ran into "too
many horses" from other com
petiting schools. Some opinion
was voiced that Medford's
strong team of 1957 might not
have won the Haywards had
it faced the array of talent
this year's club was up against
at the University of Oregon
oval
Among the Medford indi
vidual efforts Saturday was
a 20-foot 11-inch broad jump
by Leonard Griggs. It was the
best jump of the sophomore's
career and one of the best in
this district, George Koch
went 6 feet in the high jump
topping by one-fourth inch his
leap . in the interclass meet,
Jerry Shults jumped 5-10 for
his best effort. Koch is a jun
ior and Shults a sophomore.
John Harvey, junior, went
12 feet, and Skip Bennett
sophomore, 11 feet, in the
pole vault.
Senior Mike Russell was
clocked in :49.9 in his leg of
the mile relay, which was felt
to be close to accurate timing
although other watches had
him at :50.1 and :51 even. He
ran his leg in the distance
medley in :50.1
Hill Runs 2:01
Sophomore Bruce Hill had
a 2:01 time in the "half-mile
portion of the medley, his
best clocking.

on Rogue refay times in both
the 440 and mile events on
Saturday yet finished only
sixth in the 440 and did not
place in the mile. They ran
the 440 in :45 flat and the
mile in 3:33.
The Tornado passed the
baton out of zones twice in
the 880 relay and was dis
qualified in that event.
Crater high also will enter
the GP Rotary test. The Com
ets were second in Class A
of the Haywards, well behind
the winner, Cottage Grove in
total points.
Coach Ed Knapp said that
he was "naturally disappoint
ed" that the Comets did not
make a closer battle of it. He
remarked, however, that his
second look saw a more en
couraging picture, with the
realization that some 17 of
the Crater scantclads had not
previously participated in
such a big meet. He has an
overall inexperienced squad.
