Nine Grid Starters To Be
Replaced at St. Mary's
St. Mary's Coach Bill Mc
Kibbin this season has the
task of replacing nine starters
from his 1959 Class B high
school co-championship foot
ball crew.
But, the mentor of the Med
ford parochial school squad
is not taking a pessimistic
view.
"I think we'll have a good
backficld," McKibbin said
after the first few days of
practice. "We'll be short up
front. But, they are sure eager
kids and I think they'll come
along." .
The losses from 1959 in
clude all seven starters in the
line and two backficld reg
ulars. Nine Lcttirmon
There are nine lcUermen
on hand. These are Dick
Evans, halfback; Fred Lucas,
fullback; Aundre Knutson, be
ing shifted from back to
tackle; Don Jacobson and Bill
Smith, ends; Alex Mete, back;
Don Pruitt, center; Jim Cal
hounrl. quarterback and safe
ty, and Dave Lowry, tackle.
The club averages bigger
than la.it year, mainly because
it is heavier at the flanks.
Thirty - three players have
signed for the squad. Biggest
turnout has been 32 and an
average of 28 players have
been on hand for practices,
McKlbben said.
A couple of non-lcltermcn
looking good rre Pat Stinson,
tackle, and 6"'.aa Von Bus
kird, guard, -'ho transferred
from Crater. .
Among those looking good
in drills are a non-lctterman,
Pat Stinson, tackle, and Brian
Von Buskirk, transfer letter
man from Crater.
Assisting the head coach
this season are Dick Paup, ex
St. Mary's who was graduated
last spring from University of

Olympics.
A battery of eight to ten
Russians wearing official
badges reading "coach" or
"interpreter" swarmed around
the diving and swimming
pools today recording every
detail about the U.S. and Aus
tralian girl swimmers.
One Russian "coach" was so
anxious to get a picture of the
U.S. girls' relay team in ac
tion, that an Italian referee
had to drag him away from
the .finish line.
American girls swimming
manager Mrs. Betty Baldwin,
said that Russians have at
tended every practice session.
"They make notes on our
warmup techniques," she said,
"and they keep a record of
how many lengths all the girls
swim every day. They don't
miss anything."

Duck Track Mentor
Tells of Gratitude
For Olympic Jaunt
By LEO H. PETERSEN
UPI Sports Editor
Rome -(UPII- Germany's Ar-
min Hary stole the thunder
from America's famed sprint
ers in the opening track and
field in the Olympic Games
today by setting an Olympic
record of 10.2 seconds in the
quarter-finals of the 100-meter
dash.
Hary, whose recent world
record of 10.0 seconds was
viewed skeptically by some
U.S. experts before it was ac
cepted, cracked the 10.3 stand
ard held by such American
stars as Eddie Tolan, Jesse
Owens, Harrison Dillard, Bob
by Morrow, and Ira Murchi
son. By contrast, Ray Norton of
San Jose, Calif., this year's
U.S. candidate for "world's
fastest human" honors, es
caped elimination only by a
photo finish. Norton, off poor
ly, was timed in 10.6 in a vir
tual dead heat for third place
in another heal with Jocclyn
de le Cour of France. The
photo gave Norton the edge
and a berth in the semi-finals,
averting a huge upset. Hora
tio Espevcs of Vnezuela won
the heat in 10.5.
Dave Sims, lanky Duke
star, also qualified for the
semi-finals as he finished sec
ond to Hary in 10.3 seconds.
Yanks Are Favored
The opening of track and
field was supposed to signal
the start of U.S. triumphs, but
Hary was the first record
hreaker. And his mark came
shortly after word that Russia
had just gained its sixth gold
medal of the games when Ivan
Bogdnn took the heavyweight
Greco-Roman wrestling title.
At this point the United States
had only three gold medals.
Uncle Sam's burly shot put
ters set the stage for expected
U.S. victories in track and
field by barely flexing their
biceps in qualifying for the
finals.
A heave of 55 feet was re
quired of each muscleman to
cam a spot in this afternoon's
finals, and the Yanks each
needed only one casual toss
for that. U. S. forces also set
the stage for further point
scoring by easily qualifying
in the men's 100-meter dash
and in swimming in the men's
100-meter backstroke.
Dallas Long, Phoenix, led
the U.S. shot put qualifiers

Oregon Trach Coach
(In Eugene,
Just Before Departure)
How does a man from Fos
sil, Ore., via Medford, who
lives in Eugene, express his
gratitude? Grateful are we for
this opportunity to be with
the seven track men of Ore
gon who are competing in the
Olympic Games. The world
championship!
We are deeply appreciative
that our university has had
the kind of administration
and faculty that recognizes
the place of wholesome ath
letics in education. A tradi
tion of high educational stand
ards set by men like presi
dents Donald Erb and Met
Wilson; professors Gilbert,
T h a c h e r, Turnbull, Macy,
Johnson, and Ellickson to
mention only a few, who have
set standards of academic ex
cellence, and at the same time
have recognized that athletics
makes a virile contribution to
university life.
Docs any community have
so many enthusiastic sponsors
of worthwhile activities? The
Eugene Gleemen, the VLT,
EEAA, Obsidians, Tri-Pass,
Oregon Club, and countless
other outlets for interests and
energies in the campus area.
Has any athletic director
accomplished as much as Leo
Harris? His position has often
been a trying one. He has
gathered about him a staff
of outstanding leaders of
young men in every sport. I
am proud to be associated
with them. There is no uni
versity that can match the
all-round record of scholar
ship, integrity, fiscal sound
ness, and cooperation that, ex
ists in athletics at Oregon.
Many Variations
Where is there a stale that
has so many variations of
pleasant living climates? The
Emerald Empire of the Wil
lamette Valley, the Rogue
Valley, the Coos Country, the
rolling hills of Portland over
looking the Willamette and
Columbia, the Wallowas, the
Blue Mountains, the Steens,
etc. Name it, Oregon has it!
The people in each of these
areas are friendly, competi
tive, vigorous and proud. Not
puffed up proud, humble
proud, and mostly grateful for
JEROME QUALIFIES

We will tell you what we

think of these Olympic
Games. How will our Men of
Oregon do? They will do their
best. Their places I cannot
foresee. I am a teacher, not
a prophet. Oh yes, and a hum
ble son of Oregon.

U. S. Swimmers Qualify
In swimming, Frank Mc
Kinncy, Indianapolis, Ind.,
and Bob Bennett, Encino,
Calif., easily qualified for to
night's finals, McKinney won
his semi-final in 1:03.8 in a
driving finish by a yard over
Wolfgang Wagner of Ger
many. Bennett, who set an
Olympic mark in his trial,
seemed to be loafing as he
finished third in the other
semi-final, won by defending
Olympic champion Dave
Thcile of Australia in 1:03.1.
Bennett was timed in 1:03.7,
compared to his Olympic
mam of 1:02.0.
But America's entries in
women's track and field were
not faring as well in the open
ing competition in that sport.
Willye White, Greenwood,
Miss., easily qualified for the
women's broad jump finals,
hurtling 19 feet, 11 inches on
her first try to pass the re

Irene Rabinson. lnglewood,
Calif., finished fifth and last

was eliminated.
Comes From Behind
Jerry Siebert of the Univer
sity of California had to
drive hard from fifth place to
second in the stretch to qual
ify in the men's 800-meter
run. He finished just a whis
ker behind Britain's Tom Far
rell, both in 1:48.9.
Ernie Cunliffe, 23, Stan
ford student from Claremont,
Calif., also qualified, coasting
home third in another four
man heat. Ousted here was
Hungary's Istvan Roszavolgyi,
former world record holder in
several events.

al victories by Bill Mullikan
of Champaign, 111., in the
men's 200-meter breaststroke
and Carolyn Schuler of Irln
da, Calif., in the 100-meter
butterfly, the United States is
running slightly behind the
victories anticipated. And
with 72 points, awarded on
the basis of. 10, five, four,
three, two and one respective
ly for the first six places, the
United States is tied with Ger
many bet-ind Russia's Olympic-leading
total of 88.
