Round Table's Prestige Leaves Mark on Race Arcadia, Calif.-flJPD-Round Table's prestige left its mark today on the field of 15 horses entered in Saturday's $145,- 000 Santa Anita Handicap even though the all--time money-winning champion was forced out of the race by in juries. As a result of Round Table defecting, top weight in the race is 116 pounds, to be car ried by Terrang. Last year, the aging horse carried 119 pounds and finished second to Round Table with 130. This year Round Table was assign ed 132 pounds. Even before Round Table was declared, three other horses assigned more weight than Terrang-Jewel's Reward, Tempest II and Warhead -dropped out of the race. But the biggest bonus of all was the 113-pound pack age assigned Hillsdale prior to the start of the season. For once racing got underway, the Indiana-bred colt won four stakes including the $100,000 maturity and in every one of them carried more weight than he does Saturday, enjoy IsrfeabS It's the extra care and attention of slow-distiDing...the patient willingness to take twice as long. ..that gives Early Times its full, gratifying flavor.

KENTUCKY Talent, St. Mary's Rivals Tonight in In County Play-Off Eagle Point - Talent High and St. Mary's of Medf ord slipped into Jackson county B school basketball play-off finals as winners by scant margins in Thursday night en gagements here. St. Mary's squeezed by Butte Falls 29 to 28 and Tal ent nicked Jacksonville 47 to 45. The two victors clash on the Eagle Point court at 8:30 o'clock tonight following a 7 p.m. consolation tangle be tween Butte Falls and Jack sonville. If Talent wins, play off schedule calls for the Bull dogs to take on St. Mary's here again on Saturday night. St. Mary's got the right of second chance as Jackson County B league regular sea son champion. Winner of this week end's county run-off will meet Mer rill at Klamath Falls next week end for the District 5B bunting and a state tourna ment position. Merrill is Klamath county champ. Late Rallies Both St. Mary's and Talent had to come from behind in the late stages last night to survive the opening round. Gary Miksche's tip-in bucket with 1 minutes to play gave the Crusaders of Medford their winning nod. St. Mary's never had a lead in the fuss until Al Yates hooked in a shot on a drive through effort for 27 to 26 with 3Vi minutes left. However, Edwin Ellis took a feed from Roger Ellef- son and made it 28 to 27 for Butte Falls. Talent steadily climbed back into contention after trailing 4 to 16 at the quarter. The Bulldogs lagged the Red skins still 19 to 22 at half- time, caught up at 26-all and went ahead at 33 to 32 on Eddie Beaver's jumper. Ron Davis tied the game for Jack sonville at 33-each a second before the third stanza ended Talent led through most of the third quarter but with 47 seconds remaining Ken Per- reard hit from under the hoop for Jacksonville and added a free shot for a 43-all tie. Ron Welburn, who spurred the Bulldogs with 20 points, put his club on top for keeps with a jump shot back of the key with 40 seconds on the the true old-style Kentucky Bourbon always smoother because it's slow-distilled clock. Seaver added a pair of gift baskets for 47 to 45 with 28 seconds left and the clock showed seven seconds when Doyle Branson hit from the side for the last Jacksonville goal. BF Steadier Perreard headed Redskin scoring. In the other game Roger Hout of SM and Ray mond Abbott of BF tied with 10. Butte Falls was the stead ier, better organized club most of the way in its tussle with St. Mary's and got some great scrapping for the ball under the boards by tall, rugged Ab bott, although he appeared to tire at the finish. The Cgusad ers found the going tough against the Logger defense and did considerable long range firing. Butte Falls shot not as often but made more of its field at tempts count and it was at the free toss line where the tussle was decided. St. Mary's made 11 of 15 gift tries and the Loggers six of 13. From the field the Loggers made 11 goals and St. Mary's nine. Jacksonville, after a jittery start settled down to domin ate the first quarter against Talent. But the Bulldogs got together offensively and start ed moving from that point on with the aid of Welburn's scoring punch and the edge on the backboards. Welburn contributed eight points in the second 'period climb and in eight in the fourth period ef fort. Duane Pitman put in three field goals in sparking the Bulldogs in the third canto. Two, of them pulled the Tal ent club up to 25 to 26 and Mike Jacobs knotted the game at 26-all. Perreard put in a long push for J'ville and Wel burn tied it again with a jumper. The 'Skins went to 31 to 28 on a free toss by Tim White and a rebounder by Bransom. Pitman hit from the side and Sam Knudsen's gift er brought it to 31-all. Henry Vessel hit a free one for 32 to 31 Jacksonville. Seaver made it 33 to 32 for Talent and Davis hit to tie. Talent went on top 35 to 33 in the fourth on two free shots by Talent. Vessel got a couple of gifters for another knot but Ron Welburn sank two free ones for 37 to 35. Ferreard cut it to 37 to 36 but Welburn scored off a jump ball. Davis swished twice from the free line for J'ville and it was 39 to 38 Talent. Welburn and Perreard traded buckets then Perreard deadlocked the mix. Butte Falls had auarter leads of 9 to 5, 15 to 13 and 22 to 19 on St. Mary's. The Loggers had a couple of mar gins of six points and two of five and the gap was four points as late a five minutes to play at 26 to 22. Closest the Medford club came in the first three quarters was 15 to 16. With 44 minutes left Bob Evans cut the deficit to 24 to 26 and Hout's free shot sliced it to 25 to 26 before Yates put SM finally in front. On the wmnine bucket Miksche of SM and Abbott of BF went up on a rebound and it appeared from the sideline like Abbott of the Loggers had put the ball throueh for the Crusaders.
