TUESDAY,
Prospect
Takes On
Butte Falls
Heavily favored on its home
court, Prospect high seeks to
ascertain no less than a tic
for the Jackson County B
Iood basketball laurels when
It encounters Butte Falls this
evening.
Victory would give Pros
pect a full-game lead in the
standings over St. Mary's
which it meets next week in
the final regular league con
flict. Tonight's game is the
last on the published sched
ule of the Butte Falls Log
gers. In the Class A Southern

Cascades.
Medford at G.P.
Medford, battling to keep
Its championship ambitions
alive along with a desire for
another state tourney berth,
meats Grants Pass on Friday
at Grants Pass while Klamath
Falls is at Ashland. Saturday
games take Grants Pass to
Klamath Falls and Ashland
to Central Point to face
Crater.
Four games back of leader
Klamath and 2 Vt behind sec
ond place Medford, title hopes
for Grants Pass are not the
brightest but the Cavemen
are much in the running for
one of tne two District o
state tourney spots. A Med
ford Black Tornado victory
over would give it a 3Vs
game bulge over the Cave
men and fortify its tourney
desires. Two losses by G.P.
this week end would just
about dash Caveman hopes.
Henley and Lakeview, No.
1 and 2, respectively, in

Already this year, golden

Today
ers of today are fracturing
par worse than it ever has
been blasted. Last year's PGA
was the only tournament won
by an over-par score, which is
a tribute actually to the man-
killing caliber of the Firestone
course in Akron, Ohio.
But on the whole the guys
who line their wallet with a
wedge really hop up old man
par. Look at some of their
heroics on the tour last year
as an example.
Palmer shot a seven-under-
par 29 for nine holes at Tuc
son which was matched in
various other locales by Cur
tis Person, Johnny McMullin
and Don January.
Bill Casper fired a 62 at
Indianapolis and there were
12 scores of 63 on the tour.
Gene Littler, Dow Finstcr
wald and handsome Bill John
ston all carded 129 for 36
holes which comes out to
84.
Doug Sanders had a 195 for
54 holes, reading 65-65-65.
Johnston stroked out 262 to
win the Utah Open, which is a
little more than 65 for each
of four rounds. That 262 was
26 under par, an algebra stu
dent informs me.
Birdisi Sevan Straight
Don Risplinghoff carded
seven straight birdies in the
Pensacola Open.
Gardner Dickinson Jr. had
11 birdies on one round of
the St. Paul Open.
Casper, at St. Paul, and
Art Wall in the Utah Open
went through the entire 72
holes with only one bogey.
Casper also shot 25 con
secutive sub-par rounds, from
Aug. 26 at Milwaukee until
Nov. 19 at Lafayette, La.
There were 17 holes in one
on the 1960 tour as well
two double eagles by Gene
Coghill of New Hartford,
N.Y., and Mac Main of Dan
ville, Va.
Sure, par golf would have
won $4,200 in the Masters,
$5,000 at Colonial, $1,950 in
the U.S. Open, $1,650 at Los
Angeles, $1,550 in the Buick
Open and $1,476 in the De
Soto Open. But you can't ever
count on par golf being good
enough to win, and these guys
are all after the top spot. Look
at Wall. He shot a 26424 un
der par in the Utah Open.
All it got him was second
place.
So they hitch up their pants,
spit on their hands and
while they tell you to "swing
easy" they hit it with every
thing they ve got. That way an
eight, a 12 or a 13 Is bound
to come up once in a while.
Ask Venturi, Palmer or Fleck.

A game slated between the

the circuit with 152 points

Russians Want To Beat
Us At Our Own Game
San Francisco - (UPU - The
United States, which invented
basketball, has already lost
international leadership in the
game, and the 1964 Olympics
could be "very rough" on our
cage prestige, Olympic coach
Pete Newell said today.
The power looming on the
basketball herizon is the same
one we see everywhere else
- the USSR.
"The Russians obviously are
gearing themselves right now
for the 1964 Olympics," New
ell said. "They are dedicated
to bringing their caliber up to
and beyond ours. They want
to beat us at the only Ameri
can game in the Olympics."
Russ Improvement Seen
Newell, who coached the
U. S. team to an 81-57 semi
final victory over Russia last
year, said the Russians will
certainly be better next time.
And, he said, the U. S. can t
be sure of having an outstand
ing crop of players like Oscar
Robertson, Jerry Lucas, Dar-
ral Imhoff, Jerry West and
Bob Boozer.
The U. S. will have to pick
its "best" team if it wants to
win the 1964 basketball Olym
pics, he said. "The selection
system in the past has some
times come up with an unbal
anced team because we were
more apt to take the players
by name." He said the Rus
sians sent to Rome a group
of players who were chosen
as a team.
"The Russians play basket
ball 10 or 11 months a year,"
Newell said, "and were sur
prised to learn we only play
from December to March."
But the thing that will make
it tough to maintain U. S.
basketball domination in the
Olympics is the fact that "the
game here is drifting away
from the international game,"
according to Newell.
"The international rules are
far enough from ours now,
and by 1964 the rest of the
world may be playing com
pletely different from the way
we play."
U. S. Leadership Sags
He said this was because
the U. S. "hasn't ever taken
the international leadership
we should. We have allowed
other countries to take the
lead which we, as the veterans
of the game, should hold."
Newell said Europeans "do
not get much chance to see
the game as we play it. What
they do see," he said, "is the
Russian game."
Newell, now athletic direc
tor at the University of Cali
fornia, made his comments in
