We're still waiting for a more complete explanation from United Press International concerning a picture that was sent the other day via UP1 Telephoto offices in Chicago. The caption said: "Financier John W. Cox . . . said he gave Yankee stadium to Rice university because he thought it was a good idea. Cox, a 1927 graduate of Rice, said he did not know its value." , Nice guy. O Although construction has started on the proposed Crater High school stadium, we learned this week that about $5,000 more is needed to finance the $30,000 project. Stadium promoters hope to sell at least 100 more tickets. They sell for $50 and are valid for three years. The Crater High school office will accept all contribu tions and requests for tickets. The contractor is now pouring concrete and is ready to "pour" the seats. Poles for the lights were being installed Saturday. O Last week we had the pleasure of attending a dinner given for members of the local American Legion junior baseball team. Gene Orr mentioned that new traveling and warm-up jackets were being ordered for the team next year. In addition to the new blue and white jackets, the players will sport new caps with the AL emblem on the front. It should be a sharp looking group. Coach (Chief) McLean made the quote for the day when he said the fellows were "darn good ball players and darn good citizens." We might add that this goes for a lot of other youths involved in sports activities, too. O Scott Eaton and Monte Jones, former Medford High football stars, planned to leave early this morn ing by plane for Portland to start drills for the annual Shrine All-Star game Aug. 11. The players are to be issued equipment at the Multnomah Athletic club this afternoon. Members of the State squad will be quartered in a downtown hotel and practice at the Woodrow Wilson High school field. - O . It seems as if young sports enthusiasts were making news everywhere this week. In San Francisco, according to UPI, a dozen high school students set out to solve the problem of "splintery scats" at Candlestick park. Armed with sandpaper, the boys started their eight-day task Wednesday. They planned to work four hours a day; the teen-agers will receive $1 an hour in addition to seeing two afternoon games as guests of the Giants, There are reportedly several lawsuits pending due to damage to clothing and lady's stock ings allegedly caused by the rough seats. is in rmaT mmtmmmmttmi)imitmi-mmmittm ilirmitiiiniiiiiiirrint Soap Box derby fans in Sacramento, Calif., recently witnessed a special lest race following the Northern California-Nevada derby finals. A "Rocket Car" propelled by two bottles of carbon dioxide fitted with "noziles" that give it a 60-mph level ground speed, raced against the top winners of the soap box cars. The "Rocket," going up hill from the finish line and the soap boxers going down from the starting line ran a dead-heat tie race. (See UPI picture above.) Associate George (known by the initials G.H.B.) still re fuses to accept the title of this column, "Fare Fan." We keep telling him that it's the logical name for a replacement to R.D.J.'s "Fanfare" column. Our faithful critic (and iriend) will be glad to learn that the boss will return to the sports desk Monday after two weeks of vacationing.

The rival teams, Metro and State, are each composed of 27 senior starts selected from la9t year's Oregon prep ranks. The game will be played un der the arcs at Multnomah sta dium. Two Medford athletes will participate - Scott Eaton, quarterback, and Monte Jones tackle. Both are former mem bers of the Medford Black Tornadoes football team. State's Coach State's head coach, Rose burg's Roy Thompson, and his two aides - North Salem's Spike Htllstrom and Tilla mook's Doug Hogland - are hopeful they can put together an aggregation which will break a long Metro win skein, interrupted by last year's 19 19 standott. Duke Moore, the astute leader of Beaverton high school grid fortunes, will lead the Metro eleven and his asst ants will be Tom DeSylvia, former Jefferson High School and John Allen of Jesuit high school.

Main Ph. 772 23 S1H GftllN STAMPS State, except for its tie last year, hasn't tasted the sweets of victory since 1956. On that occasion the Staters came up with a hairline triumph, 7 to 6. Metro all-stars will live and drill at Lewis and Clark col lege. State players will be quartered at a downtown ho tel and will go through pre- game paces on the Woodrow Wtlson High school field. Watch Flury Undoubtedly, State will mould its running game around Mike Flury, a 200 pound fullback who riddled Beaverton defenses last fall as Roseburg swept to a Class A grid crown in the stadium. On the Metro squad are sev eral former Beaverton stars who are eager for a second whack at Flury. Ex-Beaverton stars on the Metro squad in clude Rudy Dietrichs, guard; Jim Moore, tackle; Brian Sin- nerud, half back, and Ronnie Volicar, center. The four Beaverton stars- along with Moore, who suf fered as Flury pounded his Beavers into submission in last year's prep titular clash will have a powerful support ing cast as Metro hopes to continue Its recent mastery in the Shrine encounter. Jesuit's Tim Casey, a block busting fullback, will be call ed on to offer rebuttal to the State slammer in charges up the middle. The Casey-Flury duel, alone, will be something to see. Rough Line State promises a rough, hard charging line led by North Salem's 225-pound Wayne Looney and Gary Schmidt, a 195-pound defensive stalwart who starred at Grai.ts Pass. As matters now stand, these Shrine game foes are just as even as when they started 15 years ago. Each team has won six games and two contests wound up as tics. State dominated proceedings over the first seven-year Bpan and Metro stars have had their innings over the past seven-year stretch. Ticket headquarters for the Shrine game are at 119 SW Park ave. Reserved seats are $3 and $2 and mail order re quests are accepted. Non-reserved seats will be $1. Both Thompson and Moora sent their players one specific order: "Show up in top shape."
