A news, note concerning the
Compton. Invitational track meet
in which Archie San Romani Jr.,
son of the famed distance runner,
of the 30s. finished third in the
mile with the fastest time ever run
by a hig'- school athlete, 4:08.9.
has some interesting dope in the
background. Romani was beaten
by Jerome Walters (4:06.2i and
Bob Shankland, but that's not the
point.
Another lad entered in the .'race
was Orange (Call High School's
Dale Story.
Dale smashed Dyrol Burleson's
national prep mart last week with
a 4.11.0 in the California state
meet at Bakersfield. His new mark
bettered Burley's record by 2.2
seconds. . . . That's moving.
But then along came San Ro
mani and that record filtered
away in the dust.
Story's la possible relation of
KU's Don Slory) flashy Bakers

to Len Surles. the ex-KU track
mentor, who now teaches at Or

Len, although not coaching now.
lives only a few blocks from the

become quite interested in the lad.

were canceled when it was learned
that the Redmond group had failed
to come up with a club for this

CHARLIE BANE
, . . Project boss
Surles, "I always marveled at the
great track and field marks post
ed by So-Cal preps until this
year. Now 1 know how it's done.
There are so darned many of
them that the percentage just nat
ural takes care of furnishing
outstanding marks. For example
Dale Story was the only Orange
County (pop. 850.000) high school
er to qualify for-the state meet.
Dale is a fine runner at every
distance from 440 up. Recently he
entered an 880 just for fun and
turned in a 1:53.1 ... he kept up
by breaking all cross country
marks this season. Of course, in
this climate he is able to run the
year round, which is a great help."
Len, after making friends with
t)ale, mentioned that he had
had a Don Story running for him
at KU, so now Dale and Don are
writing each other to determine
whether they are related.'
Incidentally, Dale will attend
Oregon State College next fall.
The Surles' seem real happy
with their, new home he notes
that they bought a new boat and
since they live just a short
way from Newport-Balboa Beach
they have made good use of it.
Len says, "Surprisingly, many
of our friends spend their vaca
tions in Oregon so we have been
doing a lot of propagandizing for
Frank Tucker and the KF Cham-,
bcr of Commerce. We will stay
here this summer but plan to drag
our boat up to those fine Oregon
Lakes next year.
The Klamath Kubs open at Gem
Stadium this afternoon. . . . But
the preparations haven't been
easy.
Primarily due to the effort of
two men. manager Irv Whitt and
city councilman Jimmy Barnes,
the Kubs are launched on another
Northern California League base
ball season.
Financially the Kubs are having
to go it alone this year, dependent
entirely upon gale receipts for
their very existence. In the past
there have been sponsors to light
en the load of Ihe cost of uniforms,
hats, balls, travel to Weed, Mount
Shasta, Vreka or Dunsmuir as the
case may be, but this year such
is not the case.
Whitt and Barnes have, between
them, shouldered the responsibil
ity of seeing that Klamath Falls
fans gel a chance to see good
semi-pro baseball as well as Lit
tle League, Babe Ruth and Ameri
can Legion ball , , . and it's quite
a responsibility.
Barnes and Whitt aren't beefing
mind you, but they are hoping
that the fans will turn out for the
games and make their efforts
seem worth it.
From where I sit. the Little
Leagues, the Rabe Ruth Leagues
and the American Legion are
natural transitional stages for
the development of a boy who
plays baseball.
t follows therefore that the
Kubs are necessary to provide a
spot for the hoy who wishes to
further his ball-playing alter he
has grown out of the lower age
groups.
Boost and bark Ihe Kubs every
chance yon get.

Odds and Ends ...
Oregon State College will be the

of ex-Pelicans . , , Jim Hall and
Bob Drace. Both lads were main'

Drace did pretty well for himself
on the cinderpaths. Bob Petersen
had previously signified his inten
