TRACKMEN SIDELINED Which brings up the ball Illness kept two Medford park, or stadium, issue. j n'6h youths, on whom Coach Speaking personally, this I Dean Benson has been count writer believes that, while an inS- ou' of the Ore-Cal relays, administrative bodv should 1 Pole vaulter Lloyd Hammons have a far sighted view, it should recognize the needs of the present and immediate fu ture as well and take action on them. That's why this writer be lieves the Jackson county court is right and proper in its modest (the word "medi ocre" has been said but not intended) improvement pro gram for the ball park at the fairgrounds. Renovating or re storing that facility is an im mediate need. WILL NEED BOTH The idea of a large stadium serving Jackson county, how ever, should not be laid aside, lost or forgotten. It is the ul timate desire and the day will come when it will be de sirable to have both the small er capacity ball park and the larger stadium to serve the county. For, this area con tinues to grow. We may not be associating with the right people or enough people. But. it seems to us that, of those we do know, the majority who want a sports facility presently favor the smaller one. RESTORING A school man pointed this out: That the ball park im provements planned by the court are only restoring some- was recuperating from measles - the severe kind, and high jumper Steve Davis had an appendectomy. Hammons is slated to vault this week end in the Rogue relays. A sore arm kept Ashland's Tom Huff out of Ore-Cal ac tion. But, Huff, who looks now to be the top prep jave lin heaver in southern Ore gon, will be on hand for the Rogues. RAGSDALE PLAYS RUGBY Dick Ragsdale, ex-Medford high all-around athlete and quarterback on the Stanford university squad now, was at the Medford Linebackers luncheon last Friday with his father, Lee. Dick played on Stanford's rugby team which recently won a tourney for the west coast championship. The Indians were unscored upon in four tournament games. STUDIES BECKON Bill Anhorn, junior at Ore gon State college and ex Crater high pitcher, is not out for baseball this spring be cause of a heavy class load. He is majoring in civil en gineering. His brother. Jeff, ex-Comet catcher, an electri cal engineering major, is try ing for the Rook team. NEW STRIKE ZONE An assailed umpire jumped thing that we've had, that the on us e couple of days ago field is already there in good : for not mentioning that the shape and that, unless some thing is done soon, that prop erty and tho facility may be lost to sports and recreation. He pointed out that the ball park served the community many years, that it fell in de terioration as the county has grown, giving one less recrea tional facility while actually more are needed. We felt almost like the man in the ticket booth last Satur day - the man who goes to an athletic event but never gets to see it because he is too busy. We were able for the first time to take in the Ore-Cal relays at Southern Oregon college and were so busy typ ing up results as they came to the press box - there were 13 events each in fpur high schools, three special events Southern Oregon conference is having the umps call the pitches in accordance with the newly established larger strike aone this season. We had heard that the Ore gon School Activities associa tion was not adopting the ex tended sone (higher and low er) this season end figured that was thai. However, it was learned that Portland area umps are calling accord ing to the new sone affect ing four prop leagues. South ern Oregon mentors felt they had better do likewise in order that the league champ would be prepared for the officiating in state playoffs. Under the new rule, the zone extends from the shoul der (top of the ball can be that high) to the knee (instead of the top of the knee). Crusaders Defeat Pirate Thinclads Phoenix - St. Mary's high of Medford, winning 10 of 14 events, outscored Phoenix 70 to 52 here yesterday in a dual track and field tussle.

The temperature is expected to be in the 80's and a crowd of at least 25,000 will watch the cream of the na tion's golfers start on the four day 72-hole test. Most of the galleryites will follow Palmer, as they always do here over the delicately manicured 6,980-yard Masters course. He was to Aee off along with amateur ace Char lie Coe of Oklahoma City, Okla., at 12:30 p.m. A rush of last-minute sup port for U.S. Open champion Jack Nicklaus made him sec ond choice in the star studded field, with Gary Player, the 19fil Masters' titlist, the third choice. former PGA champion Dow Finsterwald; long-ball hitting Bill Collins and 51-year-old Sammy Snead, a three - time winner of this event who ap pears to be back on his game despite a spur on his left foot. The players were going out in twosomes this year instead of threesomes as last year. Fifty United States profession als, 18 foreigners and 14 American amateurs comprise the field which will be cut to the leading players and ties after Friday's second round. Any player within 10 strokes of the leader, however, also will qualify for the final two rounds on Saturday and Sun day. Palmer prayed only nine holes Wednesday in his final warmup test, choosing the back nine "because it's more treacherous than the front nine." He carded one birdie, on the 16th hole, and eight pars for a one-under 35. "I didn't ploy real good and I didn't play real badly," he said, after missing a seven- downhill putt on the 18th. "My driving was a little better than it has been, but I still hit some bad ones," he explained. Pressed for some comment about his chances, Arnie seemed perturbed, then answered: "I'm not playing as well as I'd like to, but even if I thought my chances were real good I wouldn't say so.' RAIN HAMPERS BOWLING Buffalo. N.Y.-iUPI-Rain-and lots of il-has brought some changes in the American Bowling Congress tourna ment, none of which concern the leaders. The rain, driven by a stiff wind through venti lators in the roof and walls of the state armory, fell on the lanes and forced three teams to take a "rain check."
