Benson said that the Tor nado may be intact with the exception of weightman Larry Nored who was report ed very ill. The coach said that Len Griggs ankle, which he sprained, seems to be re sponding to treatment. Griggs ankle was lamed last week and rehurt broad jumping at the Hayward relays to take him out of running events.

Angling Will Start At (Howard Prairie; Upper River Stock Grants Pass- Saturday, April 25, marks the opening of trout season on headwater portions of the Rogue river drainage, Willow Creek reser voir, Squaw lakes and How ard Prairie reservoir the Game Commission " pointed out today. The Rogue and tributaries will be open above Laurel hurst bridge, sometimes re ferred to as Peyton bridge and located eight miles above McLeod or seven miles below Prospect. Also to be open will be Big Butte creek and tribu taries above Cobleigh bridge located three miles below Butte Falls and Elk Creek and tributaries above Burnt Peak road crossing located 11.5 miles up that creek from the Crater Lake highway. All parts of the Rogue Basin below the headwater deadlines, including the Ap- plegate and Illinois drainages, will remain closed to trout angling until May 30. Much Stocking Game commission liberation crews have been busy releas ing yearling rainbow trout Sugar Title In Danger New York (DPI) Sugar Ray Robinson, pinned against the legal ropes by the double at tack of a New York state judge and the National Box ing association, was in grave danger today of losing his world middleweight champ ionship. Robinson, who never has defended the crown he won last year from Carmen Ba silio, was told Wednesday by state Supreme Court Judge Saul Streit that he must sign within 15 days to defend against Basilio or risk being stripped of the crown. And the NBA, which rules boxing in states other than New York indicated it will take the title from the "Sugar Man" unless he signs by mid night this Saturday. Just how Robinson would react to these twin threats, as dangerous as any he ever faced in the ring, wasn't be ing made clear either by Rob inson or by his handlers. Ducks Nose Washington Eugene-tUPD-Oregon pushed across a run in the 10th in ning Wednesday to defeat Washington State 2-1 in a Nor thern division baseball game. Ron Walp walked to open the inning and was sacrificed to second by Walt Baranski. Walp romped home on Burt Neyssen's short single which got through the Cougar left fielder. The game was the first of four games for WSC in the Willamette Valley against Oregon and Oregon State. The Cougars, took the lead in the sixth inning on short stop Jones' h'omerun. Oregon tied it in the sev enth on Wimp Hastings' dou ble, an error and a sacrifice fly. Quarter-Finals ' At Pinehurst Pinehurst, N. C. (LTD A mixture of tournament-wise veterans and talented young sters tangled today in the quarter-finals of the 59th an nual North and South Ama teur golf tournament. The eight players matched in today's round were the survivors of Wednesday's two rounds which eliminated de fending champion Dick Chap man of Pinehurst, 1958 runner-up Herb Durham of Dal las, Tex., and co-medalist Peter Green of Franklin, Mich. In what promised to be to day's top match, former Walk er Cupper Bill Campbell of Huntington, W. Va.. met 1958 semi-finalist Jack Penrose of Miami. In another match of vet erans, Mai Galletta of Old Westbury, N. Y., met Bob Cochran of St. Louis. Other quarter-final match es sent Jack Nicklaus of Co lumbus, Ohio, against Don Essig of Indianapolis, Ind., and Gene Andrews of Pacific Palisades, Calif., against John Guenther of Reading, Pa. AUSSIES THREATEN Cleveland, Ohio-dTD-Three youthful Australians loomed today as the biggest hurdles blocking R i c h a rd "Pancho" Gonzales' relentless drive to ward his seventh straight world professional tennis crown. The Australians, ex pected to give the Californian a strong tussle for the right to wear the crown are Lew Hoad, Mai Anderson and Ash ley Cooper, relative newcom ers to the pro world. from the Butte Falls hatchery to the North fork Rogue from Prospect up to Muir Camp, to the Middle and South forks Rogue river, to Big Butte creek from the hatchery up to Fourbit creek near Camp 2, and to Elk creek between the Burnt Peak road crossing and the guard station. Other re leases have been made in the main channel of the Rogue in preparation for the May 30th opening. Over 35,000 rainbow averaging almost eight inches in length have been planted this week. The mild winter has caused the fish to grow to unusually large sizes for this time of the year. Willow Creek reservoir and Squaw lakes were heavily stocked with fingerlings in 1958 and should produce good opening season catches. Fish lake, which was chemically treated on Oct. 1 and restock ed in late fall, will not be open to angling until the regu lar Cascade lake opening of May 30. Streams Low, Clear Bag limits will be 10 fish provided not more than five are over 12 inches in length. Minimum size, limit is six inches. Because the newly created Howard Prairie reservoir is outside national forest bound aries and located in the Klam ath drainage, it will open Sat urday, too. Trout were plant ed in the reservoir's dead storage last summer, and some good fishing should be pro duced in 1959. Jenny and Keene creeks will open with the reservoir. The same gen eral bag and size limits will apply. Stream flows throughout southwestern Oregon are char acteristic' of those usually found during the month of June. All streams are low and clear. Snow drifts will limit ac cess to streams on only a few of the back roads above Un ion creek. Most roads are in summer condition and have been dry and dusty this week. Boat access is good at Willow Creek reservoir and Squaw lakes, but because of soft ground and no provisions for launching boats at Howard Prairie reservoir, yet, there may be some difficulty ex perienced at the new reser voir. Portland-(UPD-The 1959 Ore gon trout fishing season opens Saturday and the state game commission said today water conditions were good in open areas. High Cascade lakes and streams west of the Coast range do not open until May" 30. Anglers should consult their regulations.

MILLER TO STAY Eugene (UPD Coach Bill Bowerman of the Oregon track team said today that Dick Miller, who won the two mile race in the triangular track meet with Stanford and Southern California last Sat urday, would remain home from the Drake Relays this week-end because of illness. Pitchers Shine raves; By FRED DOWN United Press International It's axiomatic that the New York Yankees and Milwaukee Braves never look more like champions than when Whitey Ford and Lew Burdette are throwing goose-eggs at the opposition. And, it's equally true that nothing can make a major league team look worse than to have its pitching collapse. Both propositions were demonstrated dramati cally Wednesday night when the Yankees and Braves scored brilliant victories on the strength of their pitching and the Cincinanti Reds and Kansas City Athletics suf- STANDINGS NATIONAL LEAGUE W.

Tornado, GP Clash On Friday for Lone Lead in Baseball A battle for lone unbeaten leadership in Southern Ore gon conference baseball is scheduled Friday. Medford high will vie at Grants Pass in the engage ment. Only other loop contention of the week end will be Klamath Falls at Ashland on Saturday. The Friday and Saturday action will see after noon doubleheaders with only the first game counting in the standings in each case. Week end baseball activity was cut in half by Crater high postponements because of illness among its team members. The Comets were to have met Klamath Falls on Friday and Medford on Saturday. Rivalry with Klam ath has been shifted tenta tively to Tuesday, April 28, at Cheney field with a double header planned. Competition with Medford is to be made up with a single game on Wednesday, May 13, on the Medford high diamond. Grants Pass will enter its Friday game with Medford with three wins and no set backs in the circuit while Medford is unbeaten in two league brushes. Klamath and Why Go Elsewhere To Get Clipped? See REX GOLD HILL BARBER SHOP Open Tues. thru Sat. 9 to 6 pm Fail for fered humiliating defeats through inability to hold big early leads. Ford, pitching perhaps the finest game of his career, lim ited the Washington Senators to seven hits and struck out 15 batters in a 1-0, 14-inning victory while Burdette. off to one of the fastest starts of his career, out-dueled Robin Rob erts to defeat the Philadelphia Phillies, 2-0. The Yankees thus kept the pressure on the front-running Cleveland In dians in the American league race and the Braves kept their lead in the National league chase. And what poor Mayo Smith of the Reds and Harry Craft of the Athletics would have given for just a tiny bit of that kind of pitching! Smith sat back comfortably when his Reds scored six runs in the third inning and led, 7-0, at the end of five innings. Then he groaned in despair as the Pittsburgh Pirates rallied to-tie with seven runs in the seventh and went on to win, 9-8, on a ninth-inning single by Rocky Nelson. Walk, Walk, Walk Craft was living it up like Casey Stengel when his Ath letics ran up a 6-1 lead on the Chicago White Sox after two innings. But the White Sox ruined his night by rallying to lead, 8-6, after six innings and then left him crushed when they tallied 11 runs on eight walks, one hit batsman, three errors and one solitary single in the seventh frame for a 20-6 triumph! The Indians walloped the detroit Tigers, 10-1, for their eighth win in nine games and the Boston Red Sox beat the Baltimore Orioles, 8-4, in the other American League games. The San Francisco Giants downed the Los Ange les Dodgers, 6-3, in the other National League game. Bill Skowron broke up the three-hour and 40-m i n u t e marathon at Washington when he blasted his third homer of the season off Chuck Stobbs with one out in the 14th inning. Burdette, now 3-0 for the season, pitched an eight-hitter to give the Braves their sixth win in seven games. Nelson broke up the Pitts burgh shindig with a ninth- inning single that scored Bill Virdon and gave the Pirates their second straight win after five losses. Dodger Streak Ends Nelson fox drove in five runs with four hits and Luis Aparicio knocked in four with three blows but the bulk of the White Sox, huge scor ing total resulted from 13 walks and four errors. Buck shaw shut out the Athletics with three hits over the last 7 13 innings to win his first game. Bud Daley suffered the loss although Tom Gorman charged with six runs without getting a man out and George Brunet (walked five batters and hit one) were the real vic tims of the 11-run White Sox' inning. Homers by Jim Piersall, Rocky Colavito and Gene Leek accounted for seven Cleveland runs' and Gary Bell spaced out seven Detroit hits Ashland each are seeking an initial triumph in the loop. Coach John Kovenz indi cated that Dennis Barr will get the Medford pitching call in the counting game with the Cavemen. Dick Hayes, is expected to be GP Coach Mel Ingram's mound selec tion. ' Tornado choice on the hill for the second mix lies tenta tively between Tom Laurance and Jerry Anderson and like ly will be Laurance if Barr goes all the way in the open er. Kovenz indicated that Medford will make an all-out effort in the first contest. Bill Cole may be the GP starting hurler in the concluder. r HERTZ TRUCK RENTAL Available at HOPKINS RICHFIELD SERVICE MeAndrews at Court Phone SP 3-9068 for Yanks, Reds, KC as the Indians continued their early-season slugging. Jackie Jensen's four hits and three by Frank Malzone led Boston's attack and Mur ray Wall's one-hit relief pitch ing for 4 13 innings protect ed the Red Sox lead. The Giants ended the Dodg ers' four-game winning streak with a 12-hit attack that in cluded three safeties each by, Jackie Brandt and Felipe Alou. Portland Socks 18 Saftles at Phoenix By DON BECKER United Press International Three gray-bearded ex-major leaguers-Joe Hatten, Vic Lombardi and Bill Wight-put their gray matter to work with slightly weakening arms Wednesday night to each rack up hurling victories in the Pacific Coast league. . None of the trio went the whole route in achieving vic tory, but all pitched credit able baseball. Lombardi was the victor in Portland's 11-5 conquest of Phoenix. Wight, relieved for another old vet, Max Surkont, got the nod in Seattle's 9-5 win over Salt Lake. Hatten, only 42, needed help in the seventh, but his well-traveled soup-bone was responsible for Vancouver's 3-2 win over Sac ramento. Bobby Locke, hardly dry behind the ears at 25 pitched San Diego to a 5-0 de cision over Spokane in other PCL action. Thirteen years ago, Hatten and Lombardi were aces on the Brooklyn Dodgers' pitch ing staff and Wight was a second-liner for the New York Yankees. San Diego moved into a tie for first place off Wednesday night's action while Spokane dropped to third, a half game behind the leaders. The Portland Beavers used a minimum of power as they helped Lombardi to victory. They collected 19 hits in Phoe nix's home-run orchard, but 18 of them were singles. Don Choate, obtained by the San Francisco Giants in the Sam Jones-Bill White trade, was the losing pitcher. It was his second straight loss. enjoy I OldSlyXe 1 1 It's the extra care and attention of slow-distilling. ..the patient willingness to take twice as long. ..that gives Early Times its full, gratifying flavor.

Webb, from Chicago and weighing 158, practically toy ed with Rivers, 159, Wednes day night in gaining his 33rd pro win in 37 outings. It was his 19th knockout triumph and it came easilv. when ref eree Joey White stopped the struggle at 2:49 of the fourth round.

Wight hurled seven and two-thirds innings of relief before he gave way to Dave Stenhouse in the eleventh.

Hatten, in registering his first win for the Mounties, re ceived help from reliefers Gor don Sundin and Dick Fitzger ald. Winston Brown, who toss ed six-hit ball in defeat, was charged with his second loss of the campaign. Locke was a smooth victor in his shutout over the In dians. He gave up only four hits and he aided his own cause with a double and a run scored. LIN'ESCORES: Vancouver ....000 001 200 3 9 1 Sacramento ..000 100 100 2 7 0 ... Hatten, Sundin (7).
