Strong Foreign Delegation Competing in Masters Golf MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, ORE. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5. 1961 , Br LEO H. PETERSEN UPI SporU Editor Augusta, Ga. - (UPD - Gary Player, the little South Afri can who is golf's leading mon ley Winer this year, today gave ' the strongest foreign delega tion ever to compete in the tournament its best chance to Wiethe Masters title for the - first time. - Rated next to defending champion Arnold Palmer in the pre-tourney betting odds, Player, using a longer swing, has won $25,200 thus far in -1961 and thinks the days the Masters has been dominated by the United States pros "are about over." j "It may . be this year," said Player, competing in his fifth Masters. "But if not, I'd guess that within four years the for eign players will start win ning this tournament and once they do they'll keep on wining it." i The betting odds had Palm er favored at 4-1 followed by Player at 6-1. Agrees With Field' Player agreed with the talent-laden Masters field that this is by far the strongest foreign entry list in Masters history. "With fellows like Roberto de Vicenzo, Stan Leonard, An gel Miguel and all the others, we ought to do all right," he said. ' ' The best a foreign player ever has been able' to do in the previous 24 Masters tour naments was the fourth-place s n ;4 ties of Leonard, the Canadian star, in 1958 and again in 1959. Player's best was a sixth place tie last year. Peter Thomson of Australia, anoth er leading foreign threat, was tittn in 1957. In all, 17 foreign entrants will be in the field which will tee off Thursday for the first of the four 18-hole rounds which will decide the 1961 Masters champion. .Player feels the Masters course is built for a player like De Vincenzo, the Argen tine now playing out of Mex ico; Leonard, Angel Miguel and Thomson. .

Zack said that he has been having trouble arranging matches for the PAL club battlers. A show tentatively slated for April 29 here has had to be canceled.

Only a few showed up after ward for training. Other Clubs Busy Phone calls to other boxing clubs throughout the state found them to be either sched uled for matches In the next few weeks or closing for the summer. Since the PAL club apparently faces several weeks of inactivity, It was de cided to close until next fall when a new program could get under way. Zack said he hopes to ar range a show about the first week in October and then pro duce a show once a month at the Medford Armory through out the winter months. Be tween shows at the Armory on a monthly basis, the PAL club expects to travel at least once month. Several offers for fall shows away from Medford have been offered to the PAL club.

United Press International ' New York - (UPD - "I'm going to become a great jock ey or I'll die trying." That was the promise Roy Gilbert made four years ago to Woody Stephens when he quit his job as an exercise boy with the New York train er to become an. apprentice jockey. In- the intervening years, Stephens watched proudly as his protege made that long, hard climb up the jockey lad der. .,. The veteran trainer was at Aqueduct Tuesday when Gil bert climbed aboard a nervous filly named Plenty Papaya in the fourth race. Nearing the stretch turn, Plenty Papaya suddenly wheeled to the left and crashed into the alumi num Inside rail,, tossing Roy to the ground. Skull Fracture , Gilbert was placed aboard the track ambulance, blood oozing from his left ear. He died of a skull fracture before the ambulance reached f hysi cian's hospital.

Most of them do a lot of shouting about price. But there's a big difference in what goes into them, as compared to a Goodyear tire. 1. Goodyear girea you a stronger tire body. It's the tire body that . takes the beating. And it all depends on cords and plies. So we tested our 3-T Nylon All-Weather priced at $12.88 against nine other nylon cord tires in the $10-?12 price class or better. Goodyear'i tire rated 23.2 stronger than the average rating of all the others. 2. Goodyear fires you a tougher tread. You need toughness where the tire meets the road. So, Goodyear gives you all-new tread rubber in every tire. And it pays off good: Goodyear's tread was greater than the average of the rest. 3. Goodyear gives you greater over-all strength! Comparing the results of body tests and tread tests, Goodyear comes out way ahead. Actually, Goodyear not only proved out best on both counts but topped them all in over-all quality rating, tool -v- Before you part with $10, $11 or $12 for any tire, get the inside story.
