Thara was a mammoth ntry list with 84 teams among four divisions. Class B and C teams were In competition today with 23 and 21 schools in the re spective divisions.

The meet was originated by the late Col. Bill Hay ward, Oregon track coach for 44 years. It Is now spon- . sored by Eugene Active club. Medford's High school's track and field team goes to Eugene on Saturday ambitious to improve on 19S8 and 1959 Black Tornado showings in the annual Hayward Relays. The Black Tornado will compete in the Metropolitan Through 1957 Medford thin clads were the scourge in the big school divisions of the meet. They won 15 champion ships in 18 years and never finished less than second. However, la6t year and the year before, with other schools putting more empha sis on track, the Tornado had to settle for seventh place. A comeback in Medford cinder and field prominence loomed last Saturday when the Tornado won the Rogue Valley Relays for the first time in three seasons. Wheth er the showing was an indica tion of better things to come in statewide rivalry will be better known, tomorrow. Hopes Bolstered And, the Tornados head north with the realization that with the Improvement of cin dermen and teams around the state, the competition should be tough. Their own improve ment, nevertheless, strength ens the Tornados' hopes. Coach Dean Benson reported that in the Rogue relays everybody on the squad, with scant exception, exceeded pre vious performance. Among particularly pleas ing efforts, to Benson, were Kent Blew's blazing :50.9 quarter-mile in the mile relay and Len Griggs' sizzling :21.3 in his 220-yard leg of the half mile relay. The coach said that Wayne Cowan has been jooKing real good in tne discus this week. Medford will contend in its division against an anticipated 23 other schools. The program will be 13 events, the same as in the Rogue relays with seven contests on the track and six in the field. Squad of 31 Races are the 440-yard, 880 yard, mile, two-mile, distance medley and shuttle hurdle re lays and high hurdles. Field contests are the javelin, the discus and pole vault, in which individual efforts are scored, and the shot put, broad jump and high hurdle relays In which the efforts of three men of a school in each event are totaled. The high hurdles is the only "indivi dual" race. Benson has indicated that he will take a squad of some 31 trackmen, including alter nates to Eugene. The Tornado crew will go to the university town tomorrow morning. MKDFORD ROSTER: High hurdles Mike Hood.

CATCHER TO SALEM Portland - (UPD - The Port land Beavers of the Pacific Coast league Thursday sent rookie catcher Gil Gamez to Salem of the Northwest league. .Officials said they wanted Gamez, a hard hitter, to get a chance to play regu larly. In batting practice Wednesday, Gamez, a left handed swinger, hit one Of the longest drives seen in Multnomah stadium over the right field fence. Chemistry Career Goal Of Golfer Las Cruces. N.M (UPD - When freshman Tom Veal glances around the New Mex ico State University campus he sees little that reminds him of home. True, there's Dlentv of fnrm. ing country nearbv. but it nm. duces cotton, not predomi nantly wheat. And, there's a prairie not far away. But the summers are much longer -and much hotter - and the winters milder. But it's a different stnrv nn the golf course, where Cana dian Tom Veal would be at home anywhere. Veal is from Manitoba and traveled nearly 2,000 miles into another country to go to school, using his natural abil ity as an athlete to help pay the way. He's here on a eolf scholarship and his first matches indicated that a little thine like an earlv winter didn't stop him from learning his way around the links. Athletic Heritage Veal is adeDt at m a n v sports, reflecting an athletic heritage. H i s grandfather, Courtney Veal, once was ban tamweight champion of Eng land. Besides beine an aviri hunter and fisherman Tom took part in baseball, basket ball, ice skating, hockey and curling in school. After his graduation from high school, he worked two years in a Dauphine pharm acy in hopes of furthering his ambition to be a chemist. College took money and he had none. John Lawrence, the golf pro at Riding Mountain National park near Dauphine, had the answer. Try for a golf scholarshlD at k o m p American college, he advised. several letters later, Veal was on his way to New Mexico. Veal shoots in the low 7IV.i despite his restricted practice in Canada. Now that he can play as often as he wants, his coaches believe the stage is set for his development into an outstanding golfer. Delany Might Not Be Chosen For Olympics San Francisco - (UPD - Ron Delaney, one of the world's greatest milers, confessed to day that he "might not make" the Irish team for the 1060 Olympic Games at Rome. Delany, who has been known to toss around a bit of the old blarney, said that "due to politics" sometimes it is hard for a track and field man to make the squad. I was selected to make the 1056 team only by an 8-7 vote of the Olympic commit tee, said Delany, who was notified he had been chosen only a day before he had to leave for Melbourne. He then went on to win the 1500-me ter metric mile event from an outstanding field. "But since that time I've incurred the enmity of one of the committee members. This man voted for me to make the team in 1956, but he has told me that this time he won't vote for me. "That means I've got ony a 50-50 chance of being cent to Rome." Meanwhile, Ron is training dally here with Don Bowden, the only U.S. citizen ever to better the four-minute barrier. ! t in sani issi st 5 Cubs Nudge Giants 6-5; Winning Run On Pop-Fly Double TO MANAGE PHILLIES Gene Mauch, above, manager of the Minneapolis Millers in the American Association, was named to succeed Eddie Sawyer as manager of the Philadel phia Phillies yesterday.

(UPI Telephoto) Long Opening Day In Coast Circuit Droa in for a bit of T YE OLD FASHIONED HOSPITALITY Food Beverage Yea'll Ned s oaiMv atmosphere at Hustl er's Tarn. .. .CRATER IM HIGHWAY oHcorfters By PETE COLEMAN United Press International The Pacific Coast league just might come up with the longest "opening day" on rec ord this year. It 11 be three days for sure and possibly more until all eight teams are in the stand ings officially. To start with, this season's "opening day" was divided Into two parts. Four members of the circuit were to play Thursday, and the other four were to go today. However, only two teams made it to the starting game Thursday, Sacramento and Vancouver. They played day-night doubleheader in the California capitol city and the hosting Solons took both games, 10-9 and 5-1. Portland Delayed Tacoma, back in the league after a 55-year absence, and Portland were to open in Ta coma, but were rained out, delaying the Giants official return by at least two more days. The two teams were sched uled to try it again in a day- night twin bill Saturday, However, the best the weather man would say for the day was "cloudy," and that could be bad because it has been raining in western Washing ton since Monday. Today's half of the "open ing day" slate finds the Seat tle Ralnlers, who won 16 of 20 spring training games, at San Diego for a day-night double bill and Spokane at Salt Lake for a single night game. Sacramento and Vancouver banged out 26 hits between them in the 10-innlng opener of their doubleheader. The Solons blasted six Van Butler Gains Handicap Final Larry Butler, senior club champion of 1959, has gained the finals In the men's spring golf handicap tournament at norma Vellov rnnntrv club. Butler defeated Lee Flink 2 and 1 In a Wednesday tussle and will oppose the winner of thp upmifinnl between Dr. Dave Boals and Dr. Bruce Stanley. Flink was 1959 fall handicap winner. The Wednesday match was played even so far as handi cap was concerned since each le a fniir-handicaDner. Flink had defeated Carl Schmidt In a quarterfinal tus sle and Butler downed Charles Mickelson 4 and 3. In the oth er quarterfinales Boals won from Glen Branlund 1 up and Stanley beat Al Maginnis 6 and 5. mas Phone SP 1-4291 DAILY'S U-DRIVE MHfofti Airport Beavers Drop Baseball Vets Portland (UPB The Portland Beavers chopped two veterans off their baseball roster Thurs day. Releases were given to in fielder Eddie Kazak and out fielder Len Tucker. Each of the two players said he was in shape and hoped to sign on with some other team. Portland, rained out of its bpeners against Tacoma Thursday, will try again with a day-night twin bill at the Puget Sound city Saturday. couver pitchers for 17 hits, In cluding a home run by Dave Roberts, while the Mounties worked over four Sacramento hurlers for nine safeties, two of them home runs by Howie Goss. Sacramento trailed going into the last of the 10th, 9-6, but won it on a double by Bill Smith, a single by Manuel Jiminez, a sacrifice and two walks. Pitcher Elmer Singleton and outfielder Al Heist, a pair of Coast league veterans, com bined their talents to give Sac ramento the nightcap win Singleton held the Mounties to seven hits and struck out 10 while Heist belted out home run and a triple to drive in three runs. Bob Balcena homered for the only Vancouver run, Wood Has Lead In Greensboro Greensboro, N.C. - (UPD - Thorne Wood, a left-handed golfer from Asheboro, N.C, led a field of 128 today into the second round of the $17,- 500 Greater Greensboro Open golf tournament. The fact that a lefty top ped the field was a rarity and Jim Gacquln, PGA field secretary, said it was one of the few times a left-hander has ever led a PGA-sponsored tournament. Wood, who stands 6-1 and weighs 160 pounds, slashed five off par Thursday with an opening round 33-83-66. He attributed his low score to a superb putting perform ance. He sank a 25-footer for an eagle three on the 453 yard par five 18th hole. One stroke back at 67 go ing into the second 18 holes of the 72-hole tournament were defending champ Dow Flnsterwald of Tequesta, Fla., and Len Woodward of Sydney, Australia. By HAL WOOD San Francisco-IUPD-A pop- fly double broke up a battle of home runs last night-and anded the San Francisco Gi ants their first defeat of the 1960 National league campaign. But Manager Bill Rigney ouldn't blame anybody for the misplay that gave the Chi cago Cubs a 6-5 victory be fore 32,350 fans in radiant heated Candlestick Park. I hate losing a ball game that way," said Rigney. "But it couldn't be helped. And I don't like to have a day off like this after losing a game. "But we'll get 'em tomor row with Sam Jones going for us." There wasn't much conver sation in the Giant dressing room after one loss. The Gi ants, who had been trailing all the way, finally hit the jackpot in the bottom of the lghth when. Willie McCovey clouted a three-run homer to tie the score at 5-5. That set the stage for fate. Relief pitcher Billy O'Dell walked Bob Will with one down. He got Ernie Banks on fly to center and Frank Thomas came to bat. Thomas hit a fly to left field that Orlando Cepeda got set to catch. Then a blast of wind came along and started car rying the ball to the Infield. Wild Chase When it finally came to earth, with Cepeda wildly chasing it, it was only a few feet back of the shortstop position. i "I think maybe Ed Bressoud could have caught If he hadn't given up too sonn," said Rig ney. But the ball feel free and Will galloped home all the way from first with the winning run. This ruined all the other home run heroics. San Fran cisco had taken a one-run lead in the second on Cepeda's homer. Then in the third, Ernie Banks clouted the eighth grand slam homer of his career to give the Cubs 4-1 advantage. They got another break In the seventh on a walk to Richie Ashburn and Tony Taylor's triple off Willie Klrkland's glove In left Held. Klrkland got that run back in the bottom of the seventh when he smashed a solo homer. Giant jottings: Rigney plans to start Johnny Antonelli on Sunday and Mike McCormick Monday against the Los An geles Dodgers. Pitcher Moe Drabowski, working in the Chicago bullpen, cost the Cubs a run in the eighth inning. Thomas clouted a line drive down the third base line that rolled into the bull pen. Drabowski fielded the ball. The umpire sent Thomas from second back to first. Don Zimmer followed with a Bin gle that would have scored Thomas from second. Thomas ultimately died on third . . . Said Cub Manager Charley Grim: "I could have died when I saw him pick up that ball. There a an old adage: Never pick up anything when it's rolling." . . . Catcher Ho bie Landrlth of the Giants will be sidelined with his in jury for another week. . Antonelli hasn't been used yet because of a stiff back . . The Giants turned on the ra diant heating system to toast the 20,000 fans in the reserved seat section . . . The wind was practically nil last night, al lowing the first homers over the left field fence . . . The traffic Jam that failed to materialize on opening day hit with a bang for the night game. Most of the fans de cided to leave for the game less tlinn an hour before the start. The result was that many didn't get In until after the third Inning. However, the parking lots were cleaned out In an hour after the battle.
