Brundage Warns U.S. On 'Mixing' By JOSEPH Y. SMITH Moscow -IUPD- The United States was warned Saturday that it would lose out on fu ture international events if it continued to mix politics and sports. Presenting the threat from this Russian capital was an American Avery Brund age of Chicago, president of the International Olympic committee. "The only object of the Olympic movement is to build international good will," Bruredage said Friday. "We Jon't propose to let govern ments use sports as a political weapon or political tool. That is our view on this question and it is a very important one." Brundage, in Moscow await ing the opening of the 25th annual meeting of the IOC next week, said the problem of "political interference in sports" would be one of the main topics at the conference. He pinpointed as examples of political interference the failure of East German teams to get visas to compete in the international ski champion ships at Chamonix, France, and the international ice hock ey championships at Colorado Springs, Colo., last winter. Brundage said that any country, including the U. S., which refused to recognize all eligible contestants would not be permitted to host the Olym pic Games. "We've gone a step fur ther," Brundage added. "We have asked the International Athletic federations to adopt a similar policy. I think you'll find that they'll do it. "In the case of the United States, it means that if the country wants international sporting meetings, it will have to permit everyone to come in." Brundage said that sports could exist outside of politi cal barriers, and gave as an example the German situa tion. "The politicians have been trying to put Germany togeth er for 15 years," he said, "and we've had a united East and West Oerman team for the last four Olympics." and full leatherette trim auto seat covers -.-or A rjll LEATHJ?I- PLASTIC ETTETRM Zjpi WORLD LEADERS r in seat covers. tcos. safety belts, carpeting, floor mats, cushions and related i, auto products. J, J y Vl7 Fanfare It's quite likely more than coincidence that North Eugene High school is state A-l track champion and that Bob Newland is an assistant cinder and field mentor for the Highlanders. Remember! Bob head-coached nine state titlists and one runnerup for Medford high. His influence, along with that of University of Oregon Coach Bill Bowerman's has had much to do with the surge of track ir. the Emerald Empire. We're told that Newland has resigned as Oregon divi sion track chairman of the Amateur Athletic union. We are surmising that he sympa thizes with the National Col legiate Athletic association in its battle with the AAU over control of track and field in this countryand or he wishes to keep peace in the Eugene track family. Bob is director of the June 15-16 NCAA na tional championship meet at Eugene. All Comers Meets Eugen. will continue its all-comeri track action with July and August competition with Bowerman and Newland as directors, according to in formation which appears to come from Newland. Meets for amateurs have been scheduled July 13-14. July 20-21. July 27-28. Aug. 3-4 and Aug. 10-11. Hih school boys and girls and oe com petitors will contend on Fri day evenings beginning at 5:30 p.m. and the younger boys and girls will compel, from 10 a.m. to noon on Sat urdays.

NO PAUSE High school sports compe tition is over for another school .year but there is no pause, no breath-catching mo ment before summer athletic activities in this area. Soft ball play Jackson County Northwest Women's and church leagues and independ ent is in full swing and American Legion junior base ball is underway. A state trapshoot is due here in a week and it won't be long be fore the city recreation pro gram for boys and girls will be underway. One program which will not be conducted this summer by city or school district here is track and field. The all comers meet's, which have proved, popular" In three past summers, are not. being held here because of grandstand construction at the high school stadium. There are re ports, however, that some mqets might be arranged at Southern Oregon college. WON'T BE MISSED LONG There reportedly were quite a few sad hearts, and perhaps a few tears were shed, when the old west side grandstand at the high school field was razed. We don't think, it will be missed long, however, after the new and bigger stand is built. CLEAN OUT FILE Spring end of the school year is a busy one, sportswise. There's both the demand for space and the lack of space, newspaperwise, along with this busy period. Quite a few things get pushed back or filed for later use. We'll try to clean out the file a bit.

VS3 Dick IVaumiale, ex-Medford high, got off a punt which traveled 73 yards, to set up the first touchdown for Stan ford university in its spring practice football game with the Indian alumni. Skip Face of the alumni fumbled on the four-yard line and a varsity man recovered the ball. Ragsdale did the punting through the game for the In dians, was the No. 1 safety man and handled the quarter back chores one-third of the time. He engineered two good drives. i Not in action for the In-, dians, however, was Phil Humphreys, another cx-Med-fordite, who worked at left halfback in spring workouts. He tore a ligament in prac tice and underwent surgery. Stanford coaches are counting on Phil for next fall.

Koch was one of three Medford area athletes whom Pilot Coach Tom O'Connor used to good advan tage. The others were Roger Houl and Dick Evans, cx-St. Mary's high.

After a scoreless 10th, the Falcons took the lead in the 11th when Bear short stop Al Suydam fumbled Willie Parma's grounder and let Darrcl Bloodworth score from second.

Worth Snaps Omaha Streak in AA Play Unit.d Pr.ss Int.rnational Dallas Ft. Worth snapped a six-game Omaha winning streak Friday night, 7-6, cost ing the heretofore artful Dodg ers a chance for a first-place tie with Indianapolis, the American association leader. The Indians lost to visiting Denver, 10-3, but remained a game ahead of Omaha. Rain postponed Louisville's contest at Oklahoma City. The Rangers jumped on Omaha hurler Bernon Wheel er for five runs in the first two innings. The losers tallied once in the opening frame, then cut their deficit to 5-3 on Mike Brunley's two-run homer In the third. But Dallas-Ft. Worth counted two more In the fourth and held Omaha In check the rest of the way. Dave Baldwin, the second of four Ranger pitchers, got credit for the win. The loss went to Wheeler, whose team mates committed five errors. Denver, which collected 14 hits off four Indianapolis pitchers, led only 2-0 after six innings. But they opened the flood gates In the next two frames, scoring eight runs, in cluding a solo homer by Jim Baumer. The victory went to starter Gordon Seyfried, who scattered ten hits while going the distance. Dallas-Ft. Worth played at Omaha again Saturday, Den ver was at Indianapolis and Louisville visited Oklahoma City. Ring Magazine Drops Robinson New York -lUPIt- Sugar Ray Robinson, former mlddle- weight and welterweight champion, was dropped from The Ring magazine's top-10 ratings today because of inac tivity. Except for nearly two years of retirement from December, 1952, to October, 1954, it is the first time since Sugar Ray became prominent in 1941 that he was not ranked among the top 10 welterweights or middleweights by The Ring A DRIVE A 0 Q this L BE IN'AW aUI 0 0 a With.

Scott New York - IUPII - Stan Harrington, Honolulu welter weight, recovered from a fifth - round knoexdown Sat urday night and hammered out an upset split 10-round de cision over Charley Scott of Philadelphia in their televi sion fight at Madison Square Garden. Twenty - eight - year - old Harrington, floored for the first time in his career, bare ly regained his feet at the count of 10 but rallied quick ly and was throwing punches at Scott in the Philadelphia's corner after the bell ended the fifth round. Harrington, weighing 148'i pounds to Scott's 148, won the votes of the referee and one of the judges on a rounds basis. Referee Barney Felix favored the rangy Hawaiian, ff-4-1, and Judge Bill Recht agreed, 6-2-2, However, Judge Tony Rossi had Scott ahead, 5-4-1. United Press International had Harrington winning, 5-3-2. And a poll of 11 sports writ ers at ringside favored Har rington, 10-1. It was a heartening triumDh for Harrington, father of six, because In his only nrevious fight outside of Honlulu In the same garden on Jan. 7, 1960 he lost a decision to Mexican Gaspar Ortega. He thought the verdict that night was unjust. And a press poll supported his contention 9-4-1. A c c ordingly, Harrington was reluctant to accept last night's fight as a substitute for Jorge Fernandez of Ar gentina, who had to remain in Buenos Aires because of hil ailing wife. Matchmaker Teddy Brenner finally con vinced Stan he would get a square deal in New York this time.
