o Mew Universflfy Group Starts ednesday Under San Francisco-UPD-The new thietic Association of West ern Universities goes into business officially Wednesday -with none other than Rear Adm. (Ret.) Tom Hamilton in command of the ship. Hamilton, former Naval Academy football coach and athletic director at University of Pittsburgh for the past dec ade, accepted the new post Monday on a five-year con tract. He will come West today to meet officials in San Fran cisco and Los Angeles, then return to Pittsburgh until Aug. 1. He takes, over his new duties on Sept. 1, with head quarters in San Francisco. As "executive officer" o. the AA vf U, Hamilton will di rect the athletic activities of Southern California, Washing ton, California and UCLA in the new conference, which succeeds the old Pacific Coast Conference. "I took the post because of the fine opportunity," said Hamilton, "I have been work ing for a great university. Now I can work for four great universities." More Schools Expected It is probable that before Hamilton is settled in his new office very long there will be more than four schools in the conference. Stanford has been asked to join and President Dr. Wallace Sterling is look ing into the feasibility of be coming the fifth member. It is possible that Oregon, Ore gon State and Washington State also may be asked to join. :: Most of these schools al ready are on each other's foot Eliminator Laurels Won By Lou Wolff - Lou Wolff, Ashland's road ster -turned -dragster skipper, eliminated all comers Sunday in the Southern Oregon Tim ing association drag races in west Camp White. With Wolff at the wheel the sleek little Ford flathead-en-gined entry won most of its elimination races by getting a good take off from the start ing line against its competi tors. The driver owed due credit for the victory to Wayne Wiley, his partner and co-builder of the machine, i The 111.11 miles per hour recorded did not indicate a fast top speed attained at the end of the one-fourth mile timing trap. However, Wolff's elapsed time for the distance, 12.34 seconds, was indicative of his fast start and ability to get over the finish line before his rivals could catch him. Black Time Best During the top eliminations run-offs he raced past top cycle driver Bert Beck, Rogue River, and then returned to defeat Noel Black, 1 .edford, for the top-eliminator trophy. Black did win the top time trophy with a mark of 116.58 .mph. He was plagued with the same type . of ignition trouble that caused him to lose the top eliminator race at Redding last Sunday. t Ken Allison, Brookings, again copped the little elimi nator award as he gunned his 1958 Plymouth running in "B" gas class past all other entrants for this trophy. Alli son's best time of the day -was 91.74. Over 90 entrants from Ore gon and California were on hand to provide plenty of ac tion for the good-sized specta tor crowd that turned out to view the races! The next drag races, spon sored by Southern Oregon Timing association are sched uled for Sunday, July 12, at the Camp White strip. Following are the results cf yesterday's races showing class, top time, elapsed time, entrant, and type of car in that order: STOCK ri .??-83i1896- dwarl Sanders, Coquille. 50 Ford; E, 73.71. 18.58 Glenn Cave.

But Britain's Angela Morti mer, seeded second and fa vored today over fifth-seeded Sandra Reynolds of South Klamath likely will have Blake Griggs on the mound. In addition to pitching the 25 to 0 win over Lakeview last Sunday, Griggs had six hits in seven times up. Coach John Kovenz's Medford choice may be either Bob Quinney or Jerry Anderson. Bill Anhorn is. the probable pitcher nomination of coach Bill Askwith for Central Point against Grants Pass. Mock is expected to have Bill Cole on the hill. Central Point originally was billed to go to Grants Pass for a Wednesday twi light fracas but the field there is not available on that day.

Already eliminated are top-seeded Christine Truman of "England and third-seeded Beverly Fleitz of Long Beach, Calif., who had been Ameri ca's best hope. The blonde Miss Hard, of Montebello, Calif., : runner-up here in 1957, was matched to day against eighth-seeded Ann Haydon of Britain while Miss Moore, of Bakersfield, Calif., was up against unseeded but dangerous Hola Ramirez of Mexico. In the other quarter-final, sixth-seeded Maria Bueno of Brazil faced Edda Buding of Germany. Also on today's program were various matches in the different divisions of doubles. U. S. Davis Cup stars Alex Olmedo and Barry MacKay scored hard-fought victories Monday to gain the semi-final round in men's singles.

Olmedo, Peruvian who has lived in Los Angeles for the past five years, beat Luis Ayala of Chile, 7-5, 3-6, 6-3, 6-3, and thus became the first South American ever to reach the semi-finals here. MacKay, a third class airman in the U. S. Air Force who has had trouble rounding into shape, rallied brilliantly to upset Australian ace Neale Fraser, 5-7, 10-8, 0-6, 6-3, 6-1. Semi-finals in men's singles are scheduled Wednesday and could easily be Davis Cup pre views since they both will be U. S: vs. Australia affairs.
