the team, w hich undoubtedly ranks
one of the smallest teams
in lite nation, there is some good
material in the "Sturdy Six" and
Coach Burleson is optimistic
about the Owls' chances to cer
tain degrees.
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 !

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
