FRIDAY. AUGUST 12. 1960 MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. A 9 . ''-i SPEEDY DRAGSTER ENTERED Top rated entry In this week end's drag races at the White City strip is the Chuck Blanchard Dave Skeans acceleration machine which is presently the fastest gasoline-powered dragster, in the Northwest. The supercharg ed Chevrolet-powered vehicle has covered one fourth mile from a standing start in 9.4 seconds and consistently attains ISO miles per hour over this distance. This car, shown with Blanchard at the wheel will be among a dozen dragsters in the Southern Oregon Timing association meet Saturday and Sunday. Gates Open Early Saturday For Big Gasser Drag Races Gates will open at 8 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 13, for early entries in the "Big Gasser" drag races, a two-day event of the Southern Oregon Tim ing association at its White City strip off Crater Lake highway north of Medford. All action will occur at the strip seven miles from town. At least one dozen sleek ac celeration dragsters will high light what could prove the best drag contention here this summer. Heading the impressive list of dragster entries are the Glass Slipper, from Redding, Calif., the Skeans-BIanchard machine, from Portland, cur rently the champion of North wets strips, the strip record- Teamwork Important, Coach Says West Point, N.Y.-flJPD-You'd figure any basketball team with the likes of such super stars as Oscar Robertson, Jer ry West, Jerry Lucas and Bob Boozer wouldn't have any problems, but Olympic Coach Peter Newell thinks other wise. "It's the team that wins the game," Newell stressed, "not the individuals. Our fellows have never played together before and it takes some doing to get them functioning prop erly." Newell's point was proven last Saturday when finest ag gregation of amateur basket ball stars ever assembled lost , to the Cleveland Pipers of the National Industrial Basketball league, 101-96, in overtime. Not Disheartened "We weren't disheartened by our loss to the Pipers," said the former coach of the University of California. "It showed the boys needed the work. That was our first game after only five days of work outs. A lot of the boys were stiff and sore-legged." "Anyway," said Newell, "we're not particularly inter ested in the immediate re sults. Our job is to see that this team is all set for the Olympic games." But Newell admits he was a bit happier after his cagers avenged its earlier defeat at the hands of the Pipers and beat them Wednesday night, 91-69.

Francis, Garner Bolster Raider Gridiron Hopes Asnland-Little more than a month separates Southern Oregon college and Sacramen to State college before they tangle in the Shriner's Myrtle Bowl game in Coos Bay Sept. 17 in the opening of the 1060 grid season. With the little time left, the reluming roster of Raider grid " hopefuls continues to swell with the addition of scatback Eldon Francis and Willie Garner. Francis, a grad of Medford High school, will be in his fourth' year as a Red Raider footballer. The fleet back was with the first offensive unit last year and is a good bet to be there again this season. Versatile Francis is not only a grid iron standout. He was a state champion in the javelin in addition to winning three monograms as a baseball player at SOC. He often passes off the run- pass option to utilize his speed and throwing ability. Garner, a grad of Phoenix High school, was one of the few Raiders to play both ways last year. Offensively he was tackle and on the defense he was a linebacker. Garner gained all - confer- mention on the offensive unit and on the District 2 NAIA squad. Raider Coach Al Akins often refers to Garner as "one of the most valuable linemen in the Northwest." Fall practice for the Raid ers will open Sept. 5 with nearly 50 men expected to an swer the initial call. MONDAY NIGHT MIXED auiiiuiiifi.. Pinheads 21 Fifty-f our tiuo .........
