Fanfare "I never saw so many good kids in my life." So remarked Ed Knapp, Crater High school cinder coach, concerning last week end's state prep track meet at Corvallis. His remark pretty well turns up the story of the meet. The "good kids" made the combined A-l and A-2 meet a memorable one. Their tal ent was pointed up by the eight records which tumbled, making the meet one of the outstanding ones in the his tory of Oregon cinder and field competition. GLAMOUR EVENT The glamour event was, of course, the half-mile which saw a 50-year-old mark erased on Friday and an approxi mately 24-hour standard beat en on Saturday. And, in the final the first five placers and probably the sixth were under the standard which had stood for 50 years. The half could be just as exciting in next year's meet. Of the eight runners in the Saturday race, five may be back next year. Champion Dave Duebner graduates but potential competitors for their schools in 1963 are Wendell Cox. Hillsboro, Jim Price. South Salem, Mike Curtis, North Eugene, all )uniors, who were second, third and fourth, and Steve Toews. Medford, and Dave Wilborn. Albany, who were fifth and seventh. One wonders just how much faster Duebner would have run his record mile or record half-mile had he been entered in just one of the two races. He quite likely was holding something back in his 4:14.2 in order to have a win ning effort in the half, which was turned in the blazing 1:53.6. OUTSTANDING Medford high's Black Tor nado may not consider its state track success memor able. Still the Tornado did just about as expected at Cor vallis. Toews' 1:55.8 half mile, although overshadowed in the race, was outstanding so far as his school and south ern Oregon athletes are con corned. And, there's promise of even greater things from the 16-year-old sophomore. His state mee. time, naturally is a Medford school record. Paul Bauer was the big sur prise for Medford with his 51-foot 1 Ms-inch shot put for fifth. It was his best put in competition. In the high hurdles, Scott Eaton, who gained fifth, was in fast company which was pretty well bunched at the finish. Although Scott Hampson failed to gain the finals in the 440 and 100-yard events. Coach Dean Benson declared that he did real well and "beat a few guys." CRATER PARTY Crater high trackmen will mark the end of a good sea son this evening with a party at the school. Awards will go to the most improved member of the Comet squad and will be given for the outstanding performance of the year and for the outstanding effort and sportsmanship. "I thought they did real fine," said Coach Knapp con cerning the Comets' showing in the stale track meet. Cra ter collected 19 points for 10th place. Paul Bransom set a Crater record of 21-10 in the broad jump. This gave him third place in state. Paul Jannusch. a senior who had not been out for track before, established another school mark with hir second place heave of 212-7 at Corvallis. to HOW MUCH CAN YOU USE? i Monthly Payments For You Get 2t Mo. 18 Mo. 12 Mo.

BARJLETT ST. Phone: 773-7404 By DICK JEWETT Mail Tribune Sports Editor Knapp praised the fourth place effort of John Champ in the low hurdles and point-! ed out that 6-1 the leap which gave Dwight James! sixth in state would have taken the championship in many past meets. James came close to clearing 6-2, knocking the bar off with the tip of his toe. INJURIES HAMPER A bruised instep bone, an Injury suffered in a meet earlier at Bend, troubled Champ at Corvallis. Bransom twisted his knee in his first jump in the Saturday finals, hampering his effort to im prove on his Friday qualify ing best. Jannusch's state meet cast was a good answer to those who may have felt he had the help of the wind in exceeding 200 feet in the district meet. EVIDENCE Knapp pointed to an un defeated season in dual meets, a third in the Hayward relays, a second in the Bend invita tional, a third in the district go and the 10th in the state as evidences of a good Comet campaign. He said that at Cor vallis. all four athletes he ex pected to score did score. He pointed to two bad handoffs which hurt Crater in the relay preliminaries. DID HAVE SOMETHING Third place finish in the A-2 state meet was particular ly gratifying for St. Mary's high. The Crusaders had won the state B diadem three years running. Graduation took its toll last spring how ever and the Crusaders were not expected to do much this year. Said Coach Bill McKibbin, "We are real proud of this group because we didn't think there was anything there." He pointed out that at the beginning of the season it was not known what to expect be cause the squad looked real weak. "We kept telling them how poor they were and they kept improving," the mentor remarked. CREDIT TO RELAYERS McKibbin gave "a great deal of credit" to his relay team which he termed a "mot ley" crew. Joe Kaiser was a fullback and pole vaulter turned sprinter and Jim Webb, according to the coach, applied a great deal of de termination and work. Other members oof . the quartet which won first in district and second in state were Tom Dar land and the strong running anchor, Paul Elliott. The 1:33.9 slate meet time is a school record as is El liott's 14.8 in capturing the stale A-2 high hurdles cham pionship. McKibbin described Elliott as a true competitor who was outstanding through the season. When the going got tough, he got tougher, de clared the coach, McKibbin said he felt the turning point for Elliott was in the 1961 stale B meet when he lost out in the high hurdles and came back to win in the lows. HIT HURDLE There is speculation that Elliott would have won the low hurdles last Saturday had he not hit the last hurdle and been thrown off stride. He was just starting to make his move at the time. A first in this event would have en abled SM to tie Reedsport for second place in the meet. Of Jim Calhoun, the spear tosser, McKibbin said that he has come a long way. Calhoun was second in the state jave lin with 188-Mi. He scratched on heaves of 193 and 190 feet.

This was during a mid-fight rally as Pastrano began Lewiston Tops Tri-City; Salem Downs Yakima By United Press International Lewiston did it the hard way but Salem stayed out in front the entire route in a pair of Northwest league baseball games Monday night. Lewiston topped Tri - City 16-15 with three runs in the seventh. The Broncs, how ever, tried to give it back as the Braves tallied six runs in the bottom half of the inning without the benefit of a base hit. Salem downed Yakima 8-4 in the other game. John MacNamara and Wayne Norden of Lewiston each hit homers but the big bomber for the Broncs was Bill Meyer with a solo and a three-run homer. Bob Rudd and Eddie Craw ford of Tri-City also homered. Dick McLaughlin of Salem got his team out in front with a two-run homer in the third. Salem added a pair in the fifth and Yakima never could catch up. Darrell Peters was the winner. Tonight Eugene Is at Tri City, Lewiston at Wenatchee and Yakima plays a double header at Salem.

(UPI) Moore, Pastrano Fight To a By NICK BECK United Press International Los Angeles - lUPU - Both Archie Moore and Willie Pas trano claimed victory in their 10-round non-title bout Mon day night, but the fight of ficially went into the record books as a split draw decision. To the aging Moore, it was an affront not only to his dignity, but to his record -and drawing power. He made it clear he wanted everyone to know he would be willing to fight Pastrano again, but "next time let's make it 20 rounds." "Everybody knows it wasn't a draw," said Moore, who is 45 or 48 years of age, accord ing to a variety of computa tions. "Willie was the most surprised guy in the arena when he got a draw." "I thought I won at least six rounds," Pastrano, 26, a fancy- dan who made the bulky Moore do plenty of work. I'd light to fight him again, any time, any place and any weight. He's the smartest guy I ever faced."

There was no rematch immediately in prospect. Moore was guaran teed $25,000 and Pastrano $15,000. In the fight Itself, referee Tommy Hart was the only of ficial picking Moore the win ner, with a 5-4 score in Cali fornia's simplified 5 - point scoring system. But judges Dick Young and Lee Gross man outvoted him, each scor ing it 5-5, a draw. The UPI scored it 4-4. Moore was a 2V4-1 favorite, despite the fact the San Diego, Calif., ring hero weighed in at a bulky 201 li against an acknowledged boxing special' ist. Pastrano, at 185 for his second comeback bout, took the third and fourth rounds with flicking jabs and was making Moore miss - and look badly in the process. Moore, still recognized as world light heavyweight champ in California, rallied to take the fifth, sixth and seventh rounds with a punish ing body attack. But Pastrano came back with a late rally in the 10th round that probably saved his draw. o o Studs, Grants Pass Vie in Legion Mix Central Point-A Central Point Cheney Studs American Legion baseball team which Coach and Manager Bill Ask with feels will give the oppo sition a good game and make it interesting for them will take the field Wednesday night for its first tussle of the season.
