Three other finals are scheduled today and tonight, including the broad jump in which Clifton Mayfield of Central (Ohio) State college equalled the NCAA meet rec ord in the preliminaries with a wind-aided leap of 26 feet 7 inches. The other finals are the hammer throw and the three-mile run.

Russell will pro vide the program on Monday evening, June 17, at the regu lar meeting of the Jackson County chapter of the Izaak Walton league. Russell is manager of the Klamath Basin National Wild life refuges with headquarters at the Tule Lake refuge. He will show 'slides, concerning refuge activities and opera tions. He will talk on the legis lation before Congress affect ing these refuges and will answer questions. The meeting will be at 8 p.m. at the American Red Cross building here. The public is invited to the meeting. Col. Paul Weiland arranged the program. He said that it should be en joyable to all who are intei- ested in duck and goose hunt ing or in conservation of mi gratory waterfowl. Weiland said also that the program should prove informative on the controversial question of whether the Klamath Straits unit, with its "firing line" for Oregon hunters should go into private ownership. For a quarter of a century the controversy has raged in the Klamath basin over use of some of the lands in the fed e r a 1 Klamath reclamation project for waterfowl or for agricultural purposes. Several bills have been introduced in Congress this year in an effort to resolve the issue. Among other things these bills would set the priority of use which will be made of cer. tain lands, guarantee that the acreage of the Tule lake sumps which are vital to wa terfowl of the Pacific flyway will not be reduced, provide revenues to the counties in which the refuges are located and reimburse Klamath Drainage district for develop ments on the federal lands. Russell has managed the Klamath refuges since 1959. He is a graduate of Oregon State university in fish and game management. He has served as assistant manager of the Tule Lake refuge and as manager of the Minidoka, Swan Lake, Horicon and Low er Souris refuges in Idaho, Missouri, Wisconsin and North Dakota, respectively. Walton chapter business at the meeting will concern the Congressional bills on the Tule Lake, Lower Klamath, Upper Klamath and Clear Lake refuges. One bill, S.793, is the one favored at present by most all conservation and sportsmen's organizations in the country but they consider it "in trouble" because of ef forts of the Klamath Drainage district and others to amend it. The amendment would re quire the secretary of the in terior to dispose of the Klam ath Straits unit which has 6,338 acres of grain and po tato fields on the north bound ary of the Lower Klamath refuge. The famous "firing line" forms the southern boundary of the straits unit. '63 BUICK "SPECIAL" 2-Dr. A lew At $61.75 Me. Penneys ALWAYS .FIRST QUALITY ' .

(UPI) SECTION B PAGES 1 to 14 SIPdDIKTS MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 1963 Ducks Gain Seven Spots In NCAA Track Prelims; Renfro Reinjures Knee Albuquerque - (UPU - De fending champion Oregon managed to fill seven qual ifying spaces in the National Collegiate Track and Field championships Thursday nigh despite an injury to Mel Ren fro. Oregon State picked up four spots. Renfro, who scored 14 points in Oregon's .victory a year ago, reinjured a sore knee and failed to qualify in either the broad jump or the high hurdles. Dave Blunt ran a 9.4 100, the fastest of his career and qualified ' in both that event and the 220. Paul Stuber and Terry Llewellyn cleared 6-7 to qualify in the high jump. Ray Van Asten and Lewis Powell both made it through the 880 preliminaries and Bob Watson qualified at 15-4 in the pole vault. Wyaii Paces OSU Oregon State hurler Tom Wyatt led the Beavers with qualifying performances in both the high and intermedi ate hurdles. Norm Hoffman and Jan Underwood joined Van Asten and Powell in the 880 field. The six-mile event also was a disappointment for the Ore gon schools. Clayton Steinke Coaches Seek International Rules Adoption Albuquerque -flJPIu A strong movement to adopt interna tional rules in American track - including substitution of meters for yards-is under way in the National Track Coaches association. ' NTCA Chairman Bill Bower man of Oregon said "it's the finest thing that could happen to track and field." Bowerman pointed out that this year coaches substituted the 330 - yard intermediate hurdles for the 220 yard hurdles. Conditioning Jump He said adoption of the 330 lntermediates was a condi tioning jump to the 440-yard intermediate hurdles. Coaches vote today on a recommenda tion that dual meet collegiate competition include the 440 intermediates next year. I This would be a big step I toward the 400-meter hurdles j - part of Olympic competi tion. I Other progress is the six i mile run which appeared in j the United States for the first I time this year. The U.S. has lagged in international dis tance races in the past, but ! last year the NCAA adopted the three-mile run and Amcri l ca's young athletes are tough i ening gradually to the gruel j ing internationally popular i races of 5.000 meters and up. of Oregon finished fifth bc ; hind winner Julio Marin of Southern California teammates Dan Tonn Mike Lehner and Oregon Slate's Rich Cuddihy did not place. ,,..!...

J. -rtlPIl- Heavy weight contenders Doug Jones of New York and Billy Dan iels of Brooklyn, who share the dissatisfaction of having lost to Cassius Clay, meet to night in an "I-want-Clay-again" fight at the Teaneck Armory. Jones, ranked tnird among contenders, is favored at 11-5 to whip tall Daniels, rated sixth, in their non-televised 10-rounder. Jones, 26, is favored be cause of his combined boxing skill, punch and ruggedness. Also because he went the 10 round distance with second ranking Clay of Louisville be fore a sell-out crowd of 18,732 at Madison Square Garden on March 13, although he lost the decision.
