Practice
Ashland - Coach Dan Bulk
ley said the Southern Oregon
college track squad should be
inuch stronger in the sprints,
discus, and pole vault this
year but will be hurting for
runners in the distances and
middle distances in addition
to the high jump and hurdles.
Bulkley has been working
extra hard with the distance
runners in an effort to get
ready for the Willamette Re
lays April 2,
"We are pointing toward
the interclass meet March 30
which will determine just who
will make the trip to Salem
for the annual relays," the
Raider cinder mentor stated.
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.
Larry Derry and Jack Ko
pacz are , returning vaulters
. but Kopacz will be confined
to limited duty. His baseball
playing conflicts. The same is
true of Jim Dietz, who is a
baseballer and 440 and relay
speedster. i
Letterman Bill Stewart re
turns to the shot and discus
while Al Bqrn is a returnee in
the hurdles. The sprints are
being bolstered by freshmen
Doyle Bransom, John Mills
and Don Story with Mills hav
ing the best time last year at
:9.8 seconds. Johnny Jones, a
transfer from Lewis and Clark
college, figures in the sprint
ing roles and the broad jump.
Frosh Don Korth has been
working with the javelin and
Jones will probably also com
pete with him. Jack Johnson,
a letterman and fifth place
finisher in the OCC last year,
may return to the; mile . and
relay if his practice teaching
and studies do not take too
much of his time.

St. Patrick's Day just around

named Denny Moyer can tell
you in one word.
"Nothing."
Denny is well qualified to

Irish. He's a fighter who has
lost only one of 25 bouts. And
as a welterweight champion

the junior member of the

Lost to Jordan
Ranked number five in the

is quite naturally shooting to
get back for another crack at
the title. He had one, last
July, and dropped the decision
to champion Don Jordan.
"I was a year away," he
says bashfully. "But time is
on my side."
It is, indeed. Because had
he beaten Jordan last year he
would have been the youngest
champion the ring has had in
60 years. The last was anoth
