Coach Burleson's team had an intrasuuad meet on the Mile High track Monday and student coach Ken Lenhardt reported that bad weather failed to hamper the ef lorts of the Owl thinclads. Lenhardt, who ran off the meet, said that John Maricich and Kd Cecil turned in top flight per formances. Maricich posted a 9.3 wind-aided century and Cecil was right on his heels with a 9.5 clock ing. "The wind wasn't great and these were tremendous times for the soft track and the weather," stated Lenhardt. Norm Johns, who is figured to place high again in the discus event this season and possibly win it, hurled It 139 feet into the wind. His best toss, however, has been 155 feet. Bob Chard was sec ond in the squad meet with a throw of 128 feet. "Both discus throwers can do better," said Len hardt. "By the time they threw, it was snowing and there was a strong wind against them." The high jump stopped at 5-6. Both Bob Bryant and Wayne Den nis were in the competition until this height when they succumbed to the wind and weather conditions. The Owls will be a team in shape, that is for certain. And they will have to be. Burleson, with only six participants, will have each athlete competing in four to five events. "We will prob- ably do better in the bigger meets with the individual performanc es. But we might be overpowered in a dual match. Wc figure to have each hoy competing in four or five events," he said. These boys out here now arc hard workers. They have to be because t really have a stiff workout for them," he said. "This is an ideal place to work out for track because of the hills. They can really get Into shape running around the hills. And he wasn t kidding. Maricich had just fin Ished running for about an hour and a half through the hills and he then ran three good 220s at which he exclaimed, "Coach. I'm a lit tle tired. My legs feel a little dead." Burleson explained that the distance he had just finished was close to 10 miles, virtually all uphill. Burleson is high on the ath letes he has out for track and he works them hard. He figures, however, that this work will payi off in the long run and it should ! a. - " AUGUSTA UPD Arnold Palmer, still unhappy about his wayward driver, was favored nonetheless today as he teed off ainst 81 other competitors in a bid to become the first golfer ever to win the Masters cham pionship four times.

The pair, along with Gary Player, are odds on favor ites to win the coveted title in play which began today at Augusta, Ga. UPI Telephoto Boxers Split Of Boxing In On Ban Oregon SALEM (UPI I Five former boxers split here Wednesday over whether boxing is "a brutal sport" that should be banned. They agreed, however, the ring and the fighters should be better padded. The testimony came before the Senate Health and Welfare Com mittee on a bill by Sen. Tom Mon aghan, D-Milwaukie, to ban pro fessional boxing in Oregon. He called it "legalized potential mur der." Former fighters Phil Moyer, Jimmie "Bang Bang" Walker, and John Gabel said boxing should remain. But they said it could be improved by requiring tour-slrand padded ring ropes protective headgear, larger gloves and a softer canvas. Former fighters Tommy Moyer (uncle of Phil and Denny Moyer and "Mick" Monahan said boxing leaves some fighters "hurt, desti tute, penniless or blind." Phil Moyer, now a Eugene busi nessman, replied that only the smallest percentage of fighters suffered permanent injury or death. He and Walker, a journalist, said fighting made them what they are today. Monaghan called professional boxing "deadly serious business." He cited cases of fighters left hurt or broke, culminating with the death last month of Davey Moore, a father of five. He said if Oregon doesn't act, the championship matches that are being banned elsewhere could come to Portland, and "a Port land, Oregon, killing could be seen nationally on television." Dr. Jack Battalia of the Port land Boxing Commission replied there are more deaths per year, per capita, in football and base ball than in boxing. He said the national board of underwriters rates boxing seventh among haz ardous sports. Football is first. Dr. Battalia said boxing is well controlled in Portland. Most wit nesses praised the commission. Battalia said, however, he would approve of rules requiring more safety equipment. He said he would like to see the Portland commission more strongly backed up on the state and national level in taking new safety steps. There is no slate commission. About 90 per cent of the bouts in Oregon are regulated by the Port land commission. Phil Mover said he thought fighters would accept new equip ment if they had to choose be tween wearing it or not fighting Co-sponsor Ken Maher R-Port- land, said professional fighting should be banned on "medical and moral grounds." He said brain damage leaves some fight ers permanently punch drunk. He said there is a correlation between boxing and crime. Tommy Moyer said fighters can be victimized by managers and promoters. Walker countered by saying if his son wanted to be a profession al athlete he would choose boxing. Phil Moyer, who appeared in the best of health, conceded he might have a detached retina but "nobody knows." He has been re tired by the Portland commission Red Raiders Wallop COS ASHLAND (UPI I Southern Oregon stayed unbeaten Wednes day with a 6-1 baseball victory over College of the Siskiyous.
