He was the principal speak er at the Eagle Point High school athletic banquet. Lewis brought out the need of getting good grades to get into colleges in Oregon. He stated that screening of pros pective students now is the trend. He' told the honored high school boys and girls, "You've got to think about 1 your future before it arrives." The intelligent athlete, Lewis pointed out, is not necessarily the one who gets j good grades. He is, however, I one who works on his weak l nesses, who works or special ; techniques he'll use in games i and who devises means to overcome his d.sad"antages, Lewis said. The athletic di l rector, who is also Bearcat ! basketball and baseball coach, I stated further that the in telligent athlete is one who can adjust to situations, one . who can help his team by i spotting weaknesses in an op ponent and one who never lets himself get completely out of condition. Mori For Yourself "Do a little more for your self in working on your weak nesses," Lewis advised. Lewis said that he hoped that the banquet would con tinue to be held every year FISHERMEN Under New Management Nina Hollenbeak, Mgr.

Invocation and benediction Judge Rejects AFL Suit Against NFL New York - H'PU - National Football League club owners gather today to take up some business matters and to cele brate their legal victory which leaves the young Amer ican League to thrive or fail strictly on its own competitive merits. Lamar Hunt of Dallas, founder of the AFL, is consid ering an appeal from Mon day's decision by Baltimore Judge Roszel Thomsen. That decision rejected the AFL's anti-monopoly suit asking for S10 million in damages from the NFL. In the absence of any help of the courts, however, it ap peared that the American league would have to stake its success on its public appeal, which has not been over whelming during the first two years of its existence. Judge Thomson's decision conceivably might have or dered the NFL to abandon Dallas to the AFL exclusively, as well as pay damages. Such a decision might have beefed up the American Leaguers' coffers, given them the entire Dallas market and greatly raised their prestige in the eyes of the public. 3 1 i ENDS MAY 31 - Mileage Tire Inc.
