the former Ruby Keala Ras
mussen, live in a small pent
house apartment just off
Waikiki.
Mrs. Wray, daughter of an
Army officer, was born in At
lantic City, N. J., but has
lived in Hawaii most of her
life. Her ancestry is one
eighth Hawaiian.
The Wrays work' and play
year around in the climate
that the less fortunate main-
landers fly westward to enjoy
on all too short vacations. The
temperature varies only about
20 degrees, from 65 to 85, and
the soft trade winds air con
dition the islands. Favorite
outdoor pastimes of the Wrays
are swimming, spear fishing
and riding the surf in outrig
ger canoes. - At home they
watch filmed broadcasts of
popular mainland TV shows.
Breakfast and dinner are
standard mainland type meals,
with fresh pineapple and pa
paya a frequent addition. For
lunch the Wrays occasionally
have lau lau (meat or fish
wrapped in a ti leaf and
steamed) and a small bowl of
poi (beaten taro root).
Such delicacies were not in
cluded on the training table
at Medford 17 years ago when
Wray was a halfback on Med
ford's state finalist football
team and ran the mile and
threw the javelin on the state
championship track team.
Cato won an athletic schol
arship to University of South
ern California, where he was
getting started in track and
football when the Japanese
bombed Pearl Harbor. The
war interrupted his education
and ended his career as an
athlete.
As a fighter pilot, Cato was
assigned to test-fly new fight
er planes at Ontario, Calif.
He took a plane up to 19,000
feet and put it into a dive.
One dive flap failed and the
plane rolled out of control.
It was going straight down
at 720 miles an hour when
Wray forced his way out and
prayed that his parachute
would save him. It did, but he
fractured both shoulders and
both knees when the chute
snapped open. He was in
casts for seven months.
He joined Northwest in
Seattle in 1945.
Cato's work often requires
him to be at Honolulu Inter
national Airport for arrivals

To Fortify
Defenses
By HAL WOOD
San Francisco fUPD The
San Francisco Forty Niners,
who tied for the Western Divi
sion title in the 1957 Nation
al league pennant race only
to lose a play-off to Detroit,
open training camp at nearby
St. Mary's college Saturday
with the rookies in the
spotlight.
"We expect to have 36 or
37 rookies trying out for the
squad," said head coach
Frankie Albert. "If two or
three of them come through
to take over as regulars, I'll
be real happy."
Fin Rookies Last Year
Last year the Forty Niners
came up with a fine crop of
rookies who were major cogs
in the machinery that lifted
the club from an expected
second-division finish. Among
these were R. C. Owens, the
high-jumping halfback; giant
center Frank Morze; lineback
er Karl Rubke, and fullbacks
Gene Babb and Larry Barnes.
They all played more than
they sat on the bench.
"It is unusual when a club
can put more than three or
four rookies into the starting
offensive and defensive line
ups," says Albert. "So we'll
be happy to develop the aver
age this year."
The Forty Niner backfield
figures to be about the same
as last year: quarterback Y.
A. Tittle; halfbacks Hugh Mc
Elhenny and R. C. Owens, and
fullbacks Joe Perry and Gene
Babb.
But defense men still must
be found to fill in the most
glaring weakness of the San
Francisco club and that is
where Albert will be point

Pete, Zora
Vie Tonight
- Los Angeles (UPD For
mer Olympic champion Pete
Rademacher and Zora Folley,
ranked as on of the two lead
ing contenders for the heavy
weight crown, meet tonight
in a nationally televised 10
round bout.
It will be Rademacher's sec
ond professional bout and a
victory might project him into
a second title match with
champion Floyd Patterson.
Folley, who lost some luster
when he fought a draw with
Eddie Machen last April, will
be seeking to redeem him
self. Folley was a 2V2-I favorite
but Rademacher had many
supporters who pointed out he
floored Patterson in their bout
last summer and is a much im
proved fighter.
Folley vowed he not only
would beat Rademacher but
would try for a knockout to
strengthen his claim for a bout
with Patterson after the cham
pion meets Roy Harris here

Athletics, Other
Activities Curbed
At Portland Schools
Portland (UPD Athletics
and other extra-curricular ac
tivities will take a back seat
to academics when Portlani
high schools open in Septem
ber. Superintendent J. W. Ed
wards said the regulations for
the 1958-59 school year em
body the thinking of all the
public high school staffs.
The program calls for:
1. Reduction, as much as
possible, of activities that in
terfere with the educational
program.
2. Scheduling of as many
activities as possible before
and after school hours.
3. Reduction of extra-curricular
demands which over
load students or interfere
with class attendance.
Night Activities Cut
4. Reduction of night activ
ities that interfere with home
work for the next day's
classes.
More than 6000 students
are active in athletic pro
grams in the Portland public
high schools, Edwards saidrj
Rules regulating athletic ac
tivity are: (1) Athletes and
coaches may not leave classes
or study halls before the regu
lar closing time of school.
2. Sports practice periods
must end by 5:30 p.m.
3. No athletic study halls
are to be provided. Athletes
will be , programmed into
classes and study halls with
the rest of the students.
4. All afternoon athletic
contests will begin not earlier
than 4 p.m., except B and C
league football games which
may begin earlier after Octo
ber 1.
5. All physical examina
tions must be conducted after
school hours.
To Hire Adult Crews ,
6. Adult crews will be
hired to mark athletic fields,
instead of using students and
teachers.
Rally assembles and rally
squad activities are left to the
discretion of the individual
principals and school staffs,
but according to the superin
tendent, "are to be kept under
better control."
Another rule that has wide
implications says that parent
sponsored shows are not to in
terfere with school time.

Gardener
Lake Ideal
For Tourney
Gardener lake on Yankee
Creek rd., 15 miles north and
east of Medford and on the
farm land of Victor Gardener,
is considered ideal for water
skiing. x
That is one of the principal
reasons that the American
Water Ski association chose
the site for its 1958 western
regional championships to be
conducted under sponsorship
of Crater Lions club of Med
ford. The big meet is set for Aug.
8, 9 and 10. It will draw ex
perts from 11 western states
and there, will be a program
of competition throughout
each of the three days.
Gardener lake's limited ac
cess its calm waters, because
of little wind, make it at
tractive to skiers. Followers
of the slat-on-aqua sport who
took part in the Oregon cham
pionships at the lake last year
passed on word about the
ideal facility and that was a
boost in bringing the regional
to southern Oregon.
The lake is i small but the
70 acres of water provide
more than adequate room for
skiing And from a spectator
standpoint, view of activities
on the lake is good from al
most any place along the
shores.
In addition, the lake has an
AWSA regulation slalom
course and ski jump. Activ
ities at the site this summer
have been well-organized in
regard to rules of good boat
ing and safety and for teach
ing of advanced skiing.
, Gardener Lake Water Ski
club is responsible for the de
velopments. There are three
docks and anchorages at the
lake. Boats on the waters have
been three outbords with
horsepowers of 35 to 75 and
speeds up to 35 miles per
hour and four inboards with
85 to 250 h.p. and speeds up
to 80 m.p.h.
Because of the small size
of the lake club, membership
has been limited to 12 fam
ilies. Guests may be invited
but are limited to one at a
time. The club allows only
three boats and skiers on the
lake at a time with each head
ed in the same direction and
with adequate space between.
Lon Skinner, one of the top
skiers on the coast, is presi
dent. Other members include
Jack Day, Norman Capsey,
Bill Brooks, Myers Jones, Bill
Wall, Frank Wilson, Cliff Mc
Ginty, Victor Gardener, Art
Eckerson and Bud Simmons
and their families.
The public will be admitted
and welcome to watch the big
tournament and, judging from
the 1957 event, -spectators
may number in ' the thousands.
St. Louis (UPD The St.
Louis Cardinals have recalled
