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.

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.

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. A good
share of the KF Legion
players were on the Pelican
prep team which gave Med
ford high its siiffesi compe
tition last spring.
There's a good number of
Klamathites who will in
sist that, although Medford
won the high school toga,
the Pels had the better
team. But Medford backers.
