SUNDAY, AUGUST 14. I960 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, ORE. Boston Betters 24-Year-0ld World Broad Jump Standard Loi Angeles - (UPD - The Army'i Bill Nitder Satur day was named lo xt-pUe Dave Davis on the U. S. Olympic (hot put team al tar ha broke his own un official world record in a Friday runeup meat. By JOE St. AMANT Walnut, Calif. - (CPU - Ralph Boston's world record jump of 28 feet, 11'4 inches belat edly closed the door on an era and today focused atten tion on the brilliance of the Olympic track and field team that will represent the United States in Rome. Boston, a slender 21-year-old Tennessee A&I bio-chem-Istry student, surpassed the 26-foot mark four times Fri day night in the final dress rehearsal for the U.S. team, which departed today by plane for New York. It leaves Thursday for Rome. With his 26-114 leap, Bos ton surpassed the oldest world mark in track annals -26 feet, 814 inches set by Jesse Owens in 1935. Four Marks Beaten Four new world records were set in the meet at Mt. San Antonio college, two oth ers were equalled and two American marks fell to the splendid field. Bill Nieder, who failed to finish in the top three in the Olympic trials, made a strong bid to be included in the U.S. lineup by having the shot 65 feet, 10 inches Friday night - three inches better than his own pending mark and far surpassing the standing rec ord of 63 feet 4 inches. Dave Davis, the No, 3 shot putter, has been troubled by injuries, but turned In a cred itable 59 foot, 8V inch performance. Other world records were set by Harold Connolly, now a Santa Monicn, Calif,, teach er, with a hammer throw of 230 feet, 9 inches, and a mile relay team consisting of Ed die Southern, Earl Young, Otis Davis and Jack Yerman clocked in 3:05.6. This bet tered the four-year-old mark of 3:07.3, also held by an American team. Burleson Wins Dyrol Burleson, University of Oregon middle distance star, won the 1,500-meter run. Burleson was clocked in 3:41.3. Former Oregon runner Bill naturally, won't agree with (which are Aug. 31 to Sept. 5 that contention, this year) aie as profitable TOURING HELPS AREA to this area as a number of Rogue Valley Country conventions held at Medford club's six-day Southern Ore- or more so-according to Don gon Golf cham pionships; McNeil, secretary-manager of the Mcdford Chamber of Commerce. He brought out that the tourney which has brought more than 200 players from out of town for the six days compares to a normal conven tion of 700 to i.uoO people meeting here for around three days. The golfers, he pointed out, in addition to being here longer, are in more of a hol iday mood and spend more, per person while in the area. Actually 200 players means somewhat more than 200 vis itors since in a good number of cases families accompany contestants to Medford. McNeil further mentioned that the economic return from the tournament to the area If equal to the annual payroll of a small industry. Dellinger finished first in the 5,000-meter run in 14:09.7. Otis Davis, also an ex- Duck athlete, was third in the j 400-meter dash in 45.9 sec-! onds. He was behind Glenn j Davis, former Ohio State star, and Earl Young of Abilene Christian. ! Dave Edstrom, on the Olympic team as a decathlon man, was 11th in the javelin event. He threw the spear 197 feet, 5 inches. , Darrell Horn, an alternate on the U.S. squad, was third in the broad jump and Jim Grelle, stepping out of his 1,500-meter event, was fourth in the 800-meter run. Horn went 24 feet, inches and Greele was clocked in 1:48.8 seconds. sipiHnr Tourneys Set In Sand blower Baseball Loop SANDBLOWERS LEAGUE W. (Final Standings) W.

FANFARE By DICK JEWJSTT Mail Tribune Sports Editor Starting late this month, the Mail Tribune will begin publication of a weekly col umn on bowling. This feature will replace individual league standings and results which have been published in this newspaper for many years. The Mail Tribune believes that the change, while a re duction in quantity, will bring improvement in the quality of its coverage of the sport. Pub lication of a column has been considered for some time. Phenomenal g r o wth of i bowling and the popularity which has made it this coun try 's largest participation port is fully recognized by the Mail Tribune Bowling de serves good coverage. That, certainly, is agreed. And, the Mail Tribune, even with one cutdown a couple of 'years ago, has given more space to bowling than have many other papers in the state. Pro Grid Heads Favor Growth Chicago-uIPD-Rival pro foot ball commissioners have agreed on one poim: Both fa vor expansion of their leagues Pete Rozelle, head of the National Football league, and Joe Foss, chief of the new American Football league, both spoke of future expan sion before a meeting of the Football Writers association Friday. Rozelle said NFL sentiment was for the addition of two more teams in an "orderly, well-planed expansion to ward establishment of a 16 club league with two divi sions. Foss said that while his league looks to expanding, he is chiefly concerned with tn current eight members. He in dicated that if any failed to fulfill their financial promise, they could "pick up kit and kaboodle" and get some place where they can do it. Gold Ray Fish Count WEEK ENDING AUG. 13: Chinook salmon 170 in cluding 57.6 per cent jack salmon.) Summer run sieelhead .83. FULL SEASON: Chinook salmon 24.337 (including 22.2 per cent jack salmon) since April 7. Summer run steelhead 777 since May 2. HONOR AMATEUR GOLFER Rochester. N. Y. - IWD Francis D. Ouimet, an out standing amateur golfer be tween 1913 and 1938, will be honored Aug. 25 at the "Hill of Fame" at the Oak Hill Country club when a pin oak tree will be dedicated to mm. A bronze plaque will identi fy the tree in the midst of 10 others previously aeaicai ed to famous golfers. RIGHT EMPHASIS Growth in bowling here. with the enlargement of one establishment and the con struction of another, giving the community 62 alleys, has resulted in many more teams and leagues than ex isted two or three yeaars ago. To the Mail Tribune this expansion has meant a problem of lime and me chanics in getting league re ports in type and a problem of space has confronted the newspaper in getting them into the sports pages. To meet this situation reports have been pared to a point of lackluster so far as gen eral readership is con cerned. It is felt that column treatment will present bet ter the color, the glamor, the drama and human in terest in the sport and will increase the public interest. At the same time it will bring more attention to the feature activities and per formances of Medford area keglers and to the high lights and main events at the local lanes. It will put the emphasis where it belongs. CONGRATULATIONS KF Congratulations lo the Klamath Falls American Legion junior baseball team for its state championship. Their title gives this section of the state its second Ore gon crown in baseball this year, for high school age boys. The other mantle was by Medford in Class A-l high school baseball.
