In Track Encounter
Five 1959 season bests by
southern Oregon preppers
were turned in at the senior
high stadium last night when
the Grants Pass high Cave
men trimmed the Medford
Black Tornado 66V2 to 55V2 in
a dual track and field meet.
Two of the five top per
formances were recorded by
Medofrd athletes. Don -Peek
ran the 100 yard dash in :10
flat and Ron Reich captured
the 440 run in :52 even.
Grants Pass athletes marking
up 1959 bests so far for this
area were Glen Winningham
with :15.3 in the high hurdles,
Hugh Brown with :21.5 in the
low hurdles and Roger Hoat
son with 144 feet 10 inches in
the discus.
Eight GP Firsts
Grants Pass, scantclads cap
ped eight first places. Med
ford took five clear firsts.
Two Tornadoes, John Harvey
and Skip Bennett, knotted
with Larry Holmes, Grants
Pass, for top points in the pole
vaul.
The Cavemen swept the low
hurdles with Brown, Winning
ham and Clark one-two-three
and Medford had a near
sweep in the high jump.
George Koch won the event
for the Tornado, Jerry Shults
was second and Bob Mc
Intyre tied with B u f o r d
Smith, Grants Pass for third.
Ability to place two men
for points in eight of the 14
and a clutch anchor lap run
ning job by Marv Terry in the
880-yard relay were among
factors which helped the GP
crew come out on top. Terry
overcame a fair lead held by
Medford's Len Griggs and
nipped him at the tape for a
win that gave the Cavemen
five points.
Medford netted none.
Winningham Wins Two
Winningham was the only
double winner of the evening.
The national record holder in
the,-javelin took his specialty
with 196 feet 3 inches. Koch
was second for Medford in the
spear event with his best
heave this season, 183-3.
Medford victors in events
In addition to Peek, Reich and
Koch were Mike Murray in
the shot put and Griggs in the
broad jump. Murray was out
in front all by himself in the
shot with 56-2. Steve Ben
nett's second place effort for
GP was 45-11. Griggs with
21-734 in the BJ was first by
a substantial margin of Koch's
second place 20-434.
" For GP first places includ
ed Ken Simmons in the mile,
Terry in the 220 and Jim
Armstrong in the half-mile.
Hoatson had to beat the
best counting effort of the
season by Medford's Larry
Nored in the discus. Nored
was second with 143-4. The
Tornado thrower had a longer
heave but "scratched" on the
try.
Three Tornadoes Missing
Bob Rix, Medford sopho
more, gave Armstrong a good
run in the 880, finishing just
a yard behind the Caveman
Simmons and Ray Smith,
Medford, had the mile all to
themselves with Simmons
winner by about 10 yards.
Medford was without the
services of three of its first
fine performers, Roger John
son in the mile, Bruce Hill in
the half and Robert Hamilton
in the low hurdles. Johnson
has a leg ailment and Hill and
Hamilton were ill. Had they
been entered and put up to
par, scoring might have come
out in favor of Medford, or at
least, the margin would have
been closer.
GP's Terry in taking the
220 in :22.9 and Armstrong in
winning the half in 2:03.3
turned in their best times of
the year.
, Medford will go to Klamath
Falls for a track meet on

New York-fUPt-There is an
old story concerning what
happened to the men who
owned a stable of thorough
breds and a stable of harness
horses which were cleaning
up until suddenly he lost
everything.
"It's simple," he explained.
"The runners started trotting
and the trotters started run
ning. So' I went broke." .
It's that simple, too, with
the New York Yankees.
"The pitchers suddenly
ain't pitching and the hitters
ain't hitting," opines Manager
Casey Stengel.
But no matter what you
hear, the wrinkled warrior
isn't pressing the panic but
ton and he isn't in danger of
bein fired a la Bill Norman
at Detroit. Ii- was Norman's
sage and sad rebuttal that
"managers are hired to be
fired" but not so with the man
who has led the Yankees to
nine pennants and seven
world championships in 10
years.
Sweetness And Light
Only since the Norman dis
missal has the current sad
plight of the Yankees come
into focus. Before that, the De
troit downfall took prece
dence but, with that matter
cleaned up, all eyes are now
trained on the Yankees. Ac
tually, the Yankees plight was
even worse ali along. They
were expected to be winners.
Detroit only was given an
overall vote of confidence to
make he best run at the world
champions.
The standing of the club in
the strange atmosphere of the
lower strata of the ssvnd di
vision is evident ia old Ca
sey's attitude. He is all sweet
ness and light.
This, the Yankees will con
fide, is ever the way when
things are going bad. At such
times, 'Stengel is most solici
tous of his heroes, in a kindly
manner attempting to rebuild
tneir trambiing egoes. it is
only when they are "hot" that
he lashes out with the ship.
Then he applies the old back
room philosophy of "you've
got 'em down, kick 'em."
Stengel naturally is worried

ISLANDS TRANSFERRED
Portland - Oregon hunters
my find some good waterfowl
and maybe some fair upland
gunning in the near future
on' three Snake river islands
in the Weiser-Ontario district
of eastern Oregon. These is
lands are Patch, Porters, and
Hoffman, title of which was
recently transferred to the
Oregon Game commission
through the Idaho Power com
pany as partial compensation
for waterfowl damage creat
ed by the Brownlee dam. All
three islands hold consider
able potential for waterfowl
and upland game bird de
velopments. Patch island is
already undergoing improve
ments, but title transfers of
the other, two came too late
to proceed with much develop
ment work this year.
Ben Hogan Still King
Palm Springs, Calif. (UPD 1
which had golfers all over
the world changing their
stance, grip and swing a few
years ago, is a thing of the
past.
But bantam Ben Hogan is
still is the king of the golfers.
Take the word of fellow
Texan, jaunty James Demar-
et: Hogan still is the best
golfer in the world.
"I played with Ben the oth
er day," said Jimmy, who is
in this winter spa to act as
commentator in the all-star
golf TV series. "He's hitting
the ball 20 yards farther than
he ever hit it in his life."
Demaret claims that the
"Hogan Fade" is no more
Bit of A Hook
"Ben now has just a trace
of a hook. And that accounts
for the fact that he is" out
driving many pf the other
professionals by 20 yards
these days," said Demaret.
Hogan, to prove his ability
in advancing age, won the
recent ' Colonial Invitational
as he bested Fred Hawkins
in a playoff.
Tiff Prevented
By Wet Track
A track meet scheduled be
tween Rogue River and St.
Mary's Highs yesterday was
called off because of water on
the Rogue River track.
St. Mary's is to vie this
Saturday in the District 5B
meet and Rogue River will
enter the Rogue league meet
at Ashland the same day.
JUST IN TIME

For Starter
Fresno, Calif. - (UPD - A
cycle turns complete Saturday
when genial Tom Moore picks
up the starter's gun for 'the
33rd annual West Coast re
lays. ' -
Moore zoomed along the
Ratcliffe Stadium track in
1935 in the world equaling
time of 14.2 seconds in the
120 yard high hurdles. He
wore to victory the blue and
gold colors of University of
California.
"There were four false
starts before we got away
from the blocks," recalled
Moore. "I didn't jump once
even though I had a few hectic
moments ' waiting in the
blocks.
"I hope I can do better
than that on Saturday during
my first time as starter of the
relays. In fact, I hope I don't
have any false starts."
Moore will fire the gun for
the open-intercollegiate races,
replacing Paul Starr of Fres
no, who suffered a heart at
tack last year, had planned to
officiate again but withdrew
from the relays on the advice
of his physician.
