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

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.

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.
