Strong Foreign Delegation
Competing in Masters Golf
MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, ORE.

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.

PAL Club
Will Close
Until Fall
Medford Police Athletic
league is closing through the
spring ' and summer months
and will reopen about Sept 1,
PAL Boxing Coach Jim Zack
announced today.
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.
The card planned was to
have been a return one for
the one at Chlloquin last
month. However, the Chilo-
quin boxers apparently lost in
terest after the March care!.
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. "
Zack expects to develop a
strong boxing club this fall
and drill and train the boys
to compete in the Oregon
Journal Golden Gloves next
February.

Bulkley's tr a c testers,- who
fnnnH themselves without any
other collegiate competition in

Jockey Roy Gilbert Keeps His Promise With Death
By TIM MORIARTY
. 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.
Roy Gilbert, only 22 and
one of 13 children, had kept
his promise with death,.
, Gilbert of London, Ky.,
rode his first winner at Sun
shine Park in Florida on Feb.
6, 1858. He finished that year
with 16 winners, increased it
to 53 in 1959, and last year
he booted home 81 winers.
With the start of the 1961
season, he was moving fast
among the "little giants" of
the jockey world. During a
14-day period last month he
rode four straight stakes win
ners, including Merry Ruler
in the Swift Stakes at Aque
duct, on the opening day pf
the season, March 20.

There are ao-called "bargain" tires, "cheapie" tires, "discount"
tires and other tires you've never even heard of.
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. Remember that for about the same price, you can get a lot
more tire a Turnpike-Proved Goodyear tire. It's c-!M the 3-T
Nylon All-Weather. And it costs you as little as
$1288
