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-

Tom Huff out of Ore-Cal ac
tion. But, Huff, who looks
now to be the top prep jave

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.

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

of the top of the knee).

Clear, windless weather was
predicted for the opening
round. 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

Okla., at 12:30 p.m.

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.'

lots of il-has brought some

by a stiff wind through venti

the lanes and forced three
teams to take a "rain check."
