ond in the circuit with 6-2 last
season and again looms as a
contender. Grants Pass looks
tougher than it did last year
when It was the cellar club
with a 1-7 mark.
Crater has a substantial
crew with experience and
fine talent and is expected to
make and strong and spirited
bid for the District 6 A-l ban
ner. Ashland will challenge

experienced players rise to
the task. The Comets of Cra
ter were 2-6 for league games
last year and Ashland 4-4.
First Indication
This week end's contention
will provide the first real in
dication of how the Southern
Oregon conference clubs
match up. Bad weather has
restricted the activity of the

worked Wednesday In one of
the show buildings of the
Jackson county fairgrounds.
At Grants Pass, the Cave
men through yesterday had
only one day of practice this
wee k Monday because of
the rain which has thorough
ly soaked their field.
On the conference race
Grants Pass Coach Ron Mau
rer ranks Medford the favo
rite on its experience and
pitching talent. But, of his
own team he says, "We could
take it all if our pitching and
hitting come through." He
added, "It's going to be a bat-

Far West
Relay Meet
Saturday
Eugene - IUPD The sixth
running of the Far West re
lays is scheduled for Havwarrt
Field Saturday, but the way
the Oregon and Oregon State
track teams are going, there
may not be enough athletes
left to run the meet.
Defending national collegi
ate champion Oregon is fa
vored to win the team title,
as it has every year since the
meet Began.
However, Coach Bill Bow-
erman's already - dwindling
forces got another shock
Thursday when distance man
Mike Lehner was ordered to
the sidelines for at least two
weeks because of mononucle
osis. Lehner, who finished
third in the NCAA , steeple
chase last summer, may be
lost for the season.

State, favored in the 100, is
out of action with a pulled
muscle. Sprinter Lynn Eves
and quarter-miler Lee Hazen
also have muscle woes.
Washington State sprinter
Jim Easley is through for the
season because of muscle
problems and defending pole

of Washington is a doubtful
participant Saturday for the
same reason.

The Los Angeles Angels not
only have Just about finished
preparations for the 1963 sea
son, but apparently have per
fected their road show ver
sion of their stylized ninth
inning drama.
In 1962, the Angels never
really gave the fans a chance
to breathe easy it was
always down to the wire, win
or lose.
The 1963 edition of the im
pressive Angel ballclub Is no
different. Thursday, the Ser
aphs came from behind for
three runs in the ninth to beat
Cleveland 4-3 for their third
win in a row scored In the
final frame.

Cleveland - IUPD - Record
breaking performances were
expected to continue today as
the spotlight turned to indi
vidual events in the Nation
al AATJ women's indoor swim
ming and diving champion
ships. The Santa Clara Swim club
showed the way as the meet

which set the former record
of 3:49.8 last fall, was second,
and the Northern Virginia
Aquatic club was third. Both
teams also broke the existing
American and AAU marks.
The young Californians
completed the medley event
in 4:09.5. clipping almost sev
en seconds off the former
mark of 4:16.2. Miss DeVa
rona, leading off instead of
finishing up, put her team in
front to stay by flashing the
backstroke leg in 1:02.1, a
new American record.
