o SUNDAY. JUNE 19. 1960 MEDTOTO MXTL TRIBTTTTE. MEDTORD, CMS. 12 A. Kansas Captures NCAA Team Title; Dyrol Burleson Sets Meet Record United Press International Berkeley, Calif. Ten meet records were set, one tied and Kansas won its second straight team title Saturday in the NCAA track and field cham pionships. In a thrill-filled day of com petition, U.S. college athletes tuned up for the Olympic trials with solid performances in nearly every event. Out standing feats were turned in by Charlie Tidwell of Kansas, who won the 100 and 200 meter dashes; John Thomas, the high-Jumping ace from Boston university, and Dyrol Burleson, the great miler from Oregon. The smooth-striding Tidwell fled a 28-year-old record in the 100 meters when he was clocked in 10.2 seconds. The record first was set by Ralph Metcalfe, of Marquette, in 1932, and later duplicated by the great Jesse Owens of Ohio State in 1036. Tidwell won the 200 meters In easier fashion in 2:20.8. Thomas Clears Seven Feet Thomas cleared 7 seven feet to win the high jump and erase a mark of 6 feet 11H Inches set in 1955 by Ernie Shelton, of USC. It was the 28th time Thomas had cleared 7 feet or better. Later he tried for a world's mark at 7 feet, 2 inches and barely brushed off the bar on each of three tries Burelson, only U.S. citizen ever to crack the four mm ute barrier in the mile twice, easily won the 1,500 meter race. His 3:44.2 erased a mark of 3:47.3 set by Ron Delany That's what some say... but mighty pretty handling, sweet power, attractive economy In VOLVO SwedUh perfection, American style J r.

Burelson, taking the lead halfway through the race, won by about 40 yards over Bob Holland of UCLA. The Ore- gonian, obviously not too wor ried, came running down the home stretch looking over his shoulder as 17,000 fans ap plauded. Close Finishes Sixth Jerry .Close, ex-Medford high athlete finished sixth in the broad jump with a leap of 24 feet Vi inch. Other Oregon finishers were Gary Stenlund, Oregon state, second in the javelin; Darrell Horn, Oregon, third in and broad jump; George Lar son, Oregon, sixth in the 1,500 meter run; Paul Winder, Ore gon state, second in the 100 meter dash and third in the 200-meter dash; Jerry Stub blefield, Oregon, fourth In the discus; Dave Edstrom, Ore gon, third In the 110-meter high hurdles; and Lee Martin, Oregon State, sixth in the 800-meter run.

This has changed. At the coaching clinic this month at Eugene, Spiegelberg filled in the open date on the Tornado schedule. Medford will play on Sept. 23 at Red Bluff, Calif. Red Bluff last fall was champ of its league, which in cluded Shasta High of Redding.

Denver IUPD Golden boy Arnold Palmer, an Iron-nerved man from the steel coun try of Pennsylvania, beat par and pressure with a record tying round Saturday to win the U.S. Open Golf champion ship in the greatest comeback in history. The 30 -year -old Masters champion was seven shots back of leading Mike Shou chak when they went into the final round at sun-blistered Cherry Hills Country club and only Walter Hagen, Johnny Farrell and Byron Nelson ever had made up as many as five. But then, with golf s great est honors and $14,440 riding on every sweaty shot.

PLAY FOR FROSH Four members of the Ore gon freshman baseball squad this spring were ex-Medford High school diamond men. These included Bob Pond, Ron Peery, George Ice and Tom Laurence. Wet weather in the Willamette valley permitted the' Ducklings to play only a limited number of games. Pond, however, was regular catcher and played in all the contests and was third in bat ting with a .270 average. Peery was an outfield main stay and reportedly hit around .230 to .240. Ice played some In the outfield and at first base and Laurance saw some pitching service. Both Pond and Ice are play ing for the Medford Bowling lanes team of the Rogue Val ley Baseball league. Peery re portedly is competing for the Eugene Ducks, a semi-pro nine, this summer. MADDOX TO TEACH Another ex-Medford High baseballer with the Eugene Ducks is Terry Maddox. With the Salem Senators earlier this season, Maddox recently drew his release from that Northwest league club. He reportedly was victim of an economy move. Maddox was one of the higher salaried Senators. A graduate of University of Oregon, where he starred in baseball, the ex-Medford-ite reportedly will teach and coach next school year at Springfield. Norm Chap man, another ex-Medford star, has been head track tutor at Springfield and will become head man In football for the Millers this fall. Palmer Wins U.S. Open With Record-Breaking Comeback Migrating Fish Have Protection Grants Pass-A new lease on life was given downstream migrant steelhead and salmon recently at the Savage Rapids irrigation diversion through the installation of new rotary screens, thanks to the Grants Pass Irrigation district. The new screens, installed on the southside diversion by crews from the game commis sion's Central Point screen plant replaced old inadequate screens of some 25 years ex istence. The dual screens, each one some eight feet in length, were also constructed at Cen tral Point. Need for replacement of these screens became evident some five years ago when the district voted funds for exten sive repair of the Savage Rap ids dam to plug leaks in the face and footings which pre vented full Impoundment of water. When this was completed, the additional water raised the level to the top of the old screens causing considerable losses of downstream migrant fish. Instead of being bypass ed, the young fish were pick ed up by the screen and car ried over the top. Cost of con struction and replacement of the screens was around $1,-500. During repairs of the dam the district also improved the regular fishways for upstream and downstream migrant steelhead and salmon. The Medford irrigation dis trict also went all out in pro tecting migrant steelhead at their new Talent diversion dam on Bear creek. On this 16-foot diversion canal the district installed dual rotary screens to prevent downstream migrants from entering. hole record set by amateur Jimmy Mc Hale at St. Louis in 1947. Then he wheeled home to -round off a 30-35 65 score which matched Wally Burkemo's 1957 final round open record and hung up a winning total of 280 four strokes under par for the 72 holes.

Palmer, golf's leading mon ey winner, turned those last two holes even with the card and by doing it to close out a course record 65, the best round of the tournament, jacked his earnings this year to a staggering $62,841. When it was all over, U.S. amateur champion Nicklaus was second, two shots back, with a 32-3971 for a 282, which was the lowest score ever posted by an amateur In open history. Six were tied for third at 283 Dutch Harrison, Julius Boros, Dow Finsterwald, Jack Fleck, Ted Kroll and the misery-ridden Souchak while Ben Hogan's closing 73 put him at even par 284 with little Jerry Barber and singer Don Cherry.
