attamoon at Hayward field
hara. It will conclude on
Saturday.
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. Fourteen
schools vie in Class A and
26 in the Metropolitan di-

ventf are set for 12:30 p.m.
' atarting with the first run-

Si. Mary's of Medford in
Class C and Coquille in
Class B were defending
1959 titles today. Jefferson
of Portland and , Cottage
Grove were Metro and Class
A victors last year.
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.

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.

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.

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

Fla., and Len Woodward of
Sydney, Australia.

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.
