In the only action scheduled al

team hosts the Central Point Cra

Conference doublehcader starting
at 1:30 in Gem Stadium Friday
Because of previous rainouls and
the nearness of the close of the
season both games will count in
league competition. Normally
twinbill has a "counting" lirst
game of seven innings and
"non-counter" of five.
Also scheduled for Friday work
is the KU frosh track squad
Coach Gene Strehlou and lib
"baby" Pelicans journey to Med
ford for the district meet. The
freshmen will vie with six other
squads, teams representing two
Grants Pass junior highs, two1
from Medford and one each from
Ashland and Central Point.
Charged with perhaps the big
"est responsibility of the full week
end is the four man squad of Pel
varsity tennis players who head
for Corvallis and the state net
championships which begin on
Friday and culminate Saturday in
the title matches.
On Saturday afternoon the KU
varsity track squad goes up
against Medford, Grants Pass,
Ashland and Central Point m the
annual District 6 A-l track meet
which is being held this year on
the home grounds of the Cavemen
Coach Jim Inglesby's thinclads

in the five-way hassle at Grants

against Medford on Modoc Field,
Friday, the Pels were defeated by
a score of 81 2 3 to 40 1-3 in a
display brightened only by Bob

hurdles, set a new school record
in the highs and tied for first in

their performances in the District
6 A trials Friday and Saturday in
Medford, were Jim Norland and
Keith Baxter, both in the singles,
and Jan Baxter and Jim Johnson
who will make the trip in the
doubles. The four will represent
the Pels as defenders of the 1958
state co-championship shared
with the Springfield Millers.
The freshman track squad, one
noted for smashing existing school
frosh records throughout the sea
son, gets a chance to make up
for a pair of defeats suffered in
the rain-soaked meet with North
and South Grants Pass junior
highs at Grants Pass the same
day their elder brothers were
whipped by the Cavemen.
The Pelican baseball team, cur
rently riding a "percentage
fourth" behind the Comets, sees
an ideal chance to pull away giv
en a pair of wins over the Central
Pointers on Friday.
The KU nine compares a 1-3
record with the Comets' 1-2. The
only other conference baseball
game on tap for the week is the
"crucial" scheduled between the
Black Tornado and the Cavemen
on the Medford home grounds Fri
day afternoon.

Walsh Observes
78th Birthday
POMPANO BEACH, Fla. (AP)
Edward A. (Big Ed) Walsh, one
of baseball s greatest pitchers
will celebrate his 78th birthday
Thursday and he figures that
cancer and all, "I ve got a few
innings of living left."
A year ago, everybody thought
the old Hall of Famer's days
were closely numbered. His
chances of complete recovery re
main dubious.
But I'm looking Jt things bet
ter now," the one-time scourge of
the American League told a visit
ing reporter.
Life is like a ball game to me.
When I was out there on the
mound I never thought anyone
could beat me. If they did, they'd
have to go nine innings to do it.
"That's lhe way it is now. I'm
still good for a few more innings."
