It was a quarter of a century ago that Jesse Owens sol the In door mark of 25-0 in this same meet. Itobcrson, an ex-Cornell foolball player and now officer at Fort Lee, Va., still has a long way to go before he can challenge Owens' outdoor broad jump rec ord of 26-8V4 which also was set in 1035. The weight throw record by the 28-year old English teacher from Santa Monica, Calif, cracked an other "impossible" harrier In track and field, jusl like the four- minute milo and the 60-foot shot- put. Thus, jusl 11 years after Army's Jim Shollz became the world's lirst (10-footor, Connolly became the first weight-thrower to get over 70 feet.

Shooting free style, she took top spot in the I2S women's class at the "foul weather" Valentine invitational meet at Grants Pass, hosted by Siskiyou Bow Hunters, of that city. The Baxters are a good example of tha possible njoymant of archery as a sport for the entire family. KF Bowmen Earn Trophies Five archers out of I he seven from Klamath Falls who attended last Sunday's foul weather archery meet at Grants Pass brought home trophies. Tli Valentine's Day foul weath er shoot attracted more than 80 archers from around the state. Local winners were Murle Hodges, who placed second In the 325 class, and his wife, Ksther Hodges, who placed second in the 125 class, and three first place wins taken by the Baxter family. Dal Baxter won in the 230 class, his wife. Atidrev Baxter. took first in the 175 class, and Hicir daughter, Ann, in the 1 class. It was 15-year-old Ann's first women's competition. The trophies were made bv member., of the Siskiyou Bow Hunters, the host group at Grants Pass. They consisted of tiny bale of straw, tied with wire and glued to polished wood bases. A bull's eye target was fastened to the Iron! ol each little bale and a miniature umbrella topped the trophy to carry out the "foul weather" theme of the meet.

More power to them. The Pelicans appear to have an appointment In Eugene on March IS . . . But, 1 can't keep baseball from crowding in. Right now I have sixteen galleys of copy begging to be used all baseball. These are written, tongue-in-cheek style, by the sixteen American and Na tional League managers who each go to great lengths to explain jusl how they will win their respective pennants next season. An analysis of their works proves that all eight teams in each league will wind up in the lop division (there's room for four) and ot these, six will play in the lOilo World Series. . . . And I'll sell tickets. Here In our own neighborhood . . . a pair of embryo major league stars will go into orbit next month. Don-is' Alike Brunhani (see story Page 2B) will start his career at Pocalello In class C ball while Weed's Kim Kradshaw will pick up a glove and bat for (he Modesto Reds of the NY Yan kee farm system. Uradshaw, according to Lucilc Gaynor, our Weed correspondent, ccently signed with NY for an undisclosed bonus sum. Kim and his wife Judi will stay in Corvallis until his graduation from OSC and then they will travel to the spring training camp. A Beaver outfielder (or three years, uradshaw was the NCAA's lop basc-stcaler across the nation last season. He also hit a cool .421.

Washington was able to get off only 42 shots from the field and sink only 14 of those for a .333 average. Oregon, ranked 10 na tionally in defense, sank 19 of 57 for a .333 also. After a close first half that end ed with Oregon ahead 19-18, Wash ington turned cold and was unable lo score from the field for two minutes of the second half. Dur ing that time senior Chuck Rask sank 6 of 10 points his team scored for a 29-19 margin. Wash ington never again caught up. Rask led all scorers with IB and spearheaded Oregon's defensive play. The victory made up for a 63-56 Washington victory last month in Seattle. The box: Little Nellie Fox Highest Priced Sox By JOE MOOSHIL CHICAGO (AP) Diminutive Nellie Fox, an inspiration to little guys, has agreed to play baseball with the Chicago White Sox thus year for something like $50,000.

Why???" Obviously, this Idler, a well- written, well-thought out observa tion, deserves an answer. But, I'm afraid, one that must necessarily flclcnd the sports pages' position on the matter. No one can argue that the girls cfcrred to stiller from a lack of publicity but at the same time one would like to feel thai a yearn ng for publicity and acclaim is nut the prime mover behind the gins' efforts. Another thought . . . the sports pages of a newspaper arc (or should be) devoted to sports news coverage prior, during, or follow ing competition. Perhaps the drill team does enter competition. 1 don't know. But, if they do, I would still be at a loss lo place the event in the proper newspaper category. ... In any case, I don't feel that the pretty misses' activity could be classed as sports. As entertainment, the girls are great. While sports naturally provide fine enlertainment for millions of people across the nation annually, they are held primarily for the benefit of the boys (or girls) par ticipating. At any rate you rarely find sports mentioned on any other page in the paper, certainly not in the entertainment section. Last, and this Is a situation that the sports pages of the world have created fur themselves, the sports section Is not, repeat, not (or again should not be) a publicity agent ns such. (iranted.

Bulldog gets start Ex-BV Star Inks SF Pact DORRIS (Special) An ex-Butte Valley Bulldog baseball pitcher noted for the non-hit ball games credited him, signed a contract with the San Francisco Giants Thursday. ) Mike Branham, 18, the son of Mrs. Dora Branham, Dorris, and Clifford Branham, Bly, will pilch for the Pocalello, Idaho, club this season, afler spring training in thP Giants' minor league training camp at Sanrord, Florida. Pocatel lo is a class C member of the SF farm system-. Young Branham, who was also offered an athletic scholarship to Fresno State College, will leave Klamath Falls March 13 and fly to Florida where he will report to manager Mike McCormick. Branham said he would receive his transportation expenses and $300 per month plus room and board. The Giants contacted Branham who played at Butte Valley under Ken Cleland, now the school prin cipal, last July and called him to San Francisco for a tryout in bat ting practices. Last Monday he re ceived a call from John S. Schwarz, secretary of the SF farm system, asking him. to consider the proposal to work with the Poca lello nine. He was then mailed a contract. Branham said he "owed every thing" to his high school coach Cleland, who was instrumental in getting him the Giant tryout. Said Cleland, "My hat's off to Mike. He is the type of boy who is not satisfied unless he sees im provement in himself. I believe he realizes the opportunity given him and will make the most of it by- doing all of which he is capable.' The American League's most valuable player, whose energetic determination helped win a pen nant, now becomes the highest paid player in White Sox history. Not only does the little second baseman have the laugh on the wags who claim that home run hitters eat steaks and single hit ters eat cold cuts, but he also has earned the praise of his boss cs. "He's worth every penny of It,' says Sox President Bill Veeck. "He was our key man in the win ning of the pennant." Fox, who claims he is 5-10 and 160 pounds although he refused to get on the scales to prove his stature, is going to find it tough to add to his achievements of 1959. In addition lo the MVP award and playing in the World Series, he batted .306 and committed only 10 errors to lead the league in fielding. He also set seven major league records. When the I960 campaign opens Fox will be riding a record string of playing in 669 consecutive games an all-lime high for ma jor league second basemen. Fox broke into the Sox lineup in 1950 and batted a puny .247. Critics said he was too small, couldn't field and couldn't hit. The following year he hit a healthy .313. Two years later he ied the league in fielding aver age, putouts and assists. He has played in eight All-Star games. Not bad for a guy who claims of 5-10 and 160 pounds are met with knowing smiles.
