Crater High Tussles Ashland High Nine Central Point - Crater high's baseball aggregation is ambitious to get back into ac tion and will have tha oppor tunity on Saturday afternoon, The Comets of Crater play Ashland at 1:30 pan. at Chen ey field ai the south edge of Chisox Warmed By Heat Panels ' Chicago - Chicago's White Sox should be hot this year in more ways than one. Five Arvin radiant heat panels have been installed in the ceiling of the Sox dugout keep the players warm on cool and damp days and nights. The panels, "each four feet , long, two feet wide and half an inch thick, emit infra-red type rays that warm a person directly instead of the air around him. Because the heaters themselves never get hot, there is no danger of any- ' one being burned even if he touches the panels. In fact, hands can be warmed quickly by holding them against the heaters. In addition, the panels with their vinyl facing on steel backed by fiber glass form a cushion to protecf players against injury if they stand abruptly and bump their heads on the dugout ceiling. If the five 'heating panels, which are experimental units similar to those Arvin is de veloping for use in primary electric heating systems, prove successful in the' Sox dugout they also will be in stalled in the visiting - team dugout. LAND OF SKY Asheville, N.C.-OIPtt-The na tion's feminine best in the field of golf swung into action today in the first round of the 54-hole Land of The Sky Women's ' Open golf tourna ment. Betsy Rawls of Spar tanburg, S.C., was installed a slim favorite going into the third annual event. Prize money totaling $6,500 was at stake. Medford. A doubleheader is billed with the first game to count in Southern Oregon conference standings Yesterday Coach Bill Piche had his first full squad on hand in more than one week. Sickness forced postponement of two doubleheaders sched uled for the Comets last week end. In fact the Crater club has had only five games since late March because of post ponements. . Because of limited action, the Comets are considered somewhat behind the other conference teams in develop ment for the season. But the mentor hopes that the Central Point team will be in near top shape for Saturday rivalry." Bill Anhorn likely will get the pitching call in the first and counting scuffle with coach Bill Leybold picking his Ashland twirler from amon gAlan McKinnis, Pete Stemple and Bob Johnson. Crater won both its pre vious tussles with Ashland. 2,400 Entries Filed for Open New York - (CPD - Jimmy Demaret will be bucking odds of 18-1 and Sammy Snead will be facing 7-2 odds when they contend with a record field for berths in this year's U.S. Open golf chamionship. Those figures were calcur lated today when the U. S. Golf association announced that a record total of 2,400 entries have been filed for this year's Open, .which is being played for the ; first time under a unique "double qualifying system." The pre--vioiw record of 2,132 entries was set last year. Some players, 20 in .num ber, are exempt from all quali fying play and move right into berths in the champion ship tournament at the Wing ed Foot Country Club, Mam aroneck, N. Y., June 11-12-13. But. the rest will have to play in at least one and, in most cases two qualifying tournaments to earn a berth in the championship tourney. Fast Diagnosis May Help Control Heart Diseases Washington, (Science Serv-ice)-The ease : and speed with which human diseases can be detected and diagnosed are among the chief virtues of the new diagnostic technique announced here by the De partment of Health, Education and Welfare. In making the announce ment, Secretary Arthur S. Flemming said the speed of the system could be a large step forward in controlling rheumatic heart diseases, pol io, influenza, rabies, diph theria and a wide range of other diseases. Tests Completed Quicker Known as the fluorescent antibody technique, the new system enable doctors to com plete tests in only a few min utes that formerly required two to three weeks. Here is how It works: ' When a person contracts a disease, such as polio, his body produces a protein substance which combats the polio .vir us. The same antibodies are produced by animals whose blood is drawn and kept in storage. The antibody - containing blood serum is stained with a fluorescent dye and put on a slide which already has been smeared with material taken from a patient suspected of having polio. If viruses are present in the smear, the anti bodies attach themselves to ,it. The slide is washed off, but the fluorescent antibodies and the viruses remain in the smear and are detected by ultraviolet light. They appear like tiny neon lights with a greenish fluroescence. Field Trials Started Laboratory studies with ihe technique have proved so sue cessfull that field trials on some 50 diseases have been started. A completed rabies study has shown the tech nique to be in 100 per cent agreement with the old, reli able, lengthy method. Originally developed as a defense against germ warfare, the technique is so simple that non-medical civil defense personnel could easily, be taught "to" use W.
