Ten lettermen are back from last year's Oregon Col legiate conference third place squad. They are headed by Stuart Baker and Pedro Col- ley who placed in the district NAIA finals in Portland last year. Co-Captains Baker was a member of the record setting relay squad in addition to running in the 220 and 440-yard dashes. Colley competes in the discus and shot. Last year he went to Sioux Falls, S.D., for the nationals in the discus. Team captains were elect ed last year with Baker and his running mate in the 440 Chuck Swingle, coming out on top. Swingle also com petes in the mile relay unit. Strength in the pole vault will come from John Harvey, who reached 12-6 on a num ber of occasions in high school competition at Medford.
