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.

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.

Lewiston did it the hard

of Northwest league baseball
games Monday night.
Lewiston topped Tri - City
16-15 with three runs in the
seventh. The Broncs, how

the Braves tallied six runs in
the bottom half of the inning
without the benefit of a base
hit.
Salem downed Yakima 8-4

John MacNamara and

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

Dick McLaughlin of Salem

a two-run homer in the third.
Salem added a pair in the fifth

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-

Moore do plenty of work. I'd
light to fight him again, any

weight. He's the smartest guy

Draw
the fight drew 6,731 per
sons, but left United World
Enterprises, headed by former
heavyweight champ Joe Louis,
a loser at the gate. 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.
