One of the top sports stories in the stale could be developed
in the ne.t few months, with the birthplace Klamath County.
It deals with the spring sport which has grown to an all-time
.high in spectator interest track and field.
And, of even more interest, is the fact it deals with tlie ac
;c$mplishmcnts of a distaff member of the track and field world.

checking her school work found that she was a lop student.
Bennett made a mental note of this "discovery" and when
the track season rolled around the following spring, he asked
Margaret to turn out for tlie school sport.
A Threat To State Ranks . . .
With track a sport new to the school, Bennett s principal con
cern was attempting to field a representative team. This was ac
complished as the Grizzlies ran second to Bonanza in the county
meet and second to tlie Anders in the district test.
However, Margaret anil her desire to compete was not Ig
nored by the Grizzlies' head jnan and he soon discovered his new
protege could be a definite threat in the state track ranks.
Much coaching followed and then the problem of securing
competition tar her.
But, us Ilennelt says, "When we located competition for her,
it was the best."
Margaret didn't slart with tlie easiest of meets as she was
first entered in the Junior Olympics.
- Bennett's faith in her ability was soon to be rewarded as she
x'ollectod two medals in this test a second place in the 00-yard
hurdles and a third place in the 100-yard dash.
Early Success Stuns All . . .
And this against some of the better runners in the stale and
with much more coaching and experience.
' Several meets at Eugene followed and she consistently came
home Willi second place finishes and occasionally first places.
Next came the Emerald Empire Athletic Assn. girls' meet,
with a possibility of becoming an Olympic candidate.
Her success in this meet was as stunning as the others.
Second places In the 100-yard dash, the g20-yard dash and
the 80-meter hurdles and third place in the broad Jump.
This was the result of the first year of action for the novice
girl track star.
Last fall, Bennett had Margaret join in the running of Ihc Griz
zlies' cross-country team for conditioning and she averaged some
two miles per day.
,, By the time the upcoming track season arrives, Bennett
feels she'll bo potentially ono ot Oregon's top gill track and
field stars.
, Top Times Are Recorded ...
Jlor best limes in the first year of competition:
ino-yard dash: 10.9
220-yard dash: 29.1
. 50-yard low hurdles: 7.6
-' 80-meter hurdles: 12.0
; Broad jump: M.7.
; Next summer, following what Bennett and Margaret hopes
: will be a successful second year of prep running, the Gilchrist
t gal star hopes to gain employment in Klamath Falls thereby of
; fcring a possibility of traveling and competing with tlie Klamath
; Basin Athletic Assn. track team, i
-' This is the athletic side of Gilchrist's own.
On the non-athletic side is a girl popular enough to have been
"elected junior class president by her classmates.
S She's active in the Gilchrist Methodist Church and sings in
-Jioth tlie school and church choirs. Hobbies include all sports in
deluding archery and skiing.
Athletic Scholarship Target . . .
"I was a young Tom Boy. I guess. But. not now, even though
-1 do enjoy competing in track." she offers.
-: Any thought of Margaret or "Ed' as she has been nicknamed
'by her school friends still being a Tom Boy is wiped out. She
: enjoys all school activities and loves to dance.
Ilrr big ambition Is to gain a collrge athletic scholarship
: through her track activities, with a major In physical education
; tlie ullimule goat.
"I've talked with other girls who iere competing In collrge
: track and they've given me advice.
"I feel there should he more snorts activities ollered girls
; in high school. Here we have no PE classes the last two years."
;. Margaret (cols llierc Is a large and growing interest in girls'
-sport activities throughout the state.
jj "At the. last meet 1 attended, there were girls representing
ip5 different towns in the slate.
? "Two real good runners are Janice Hughes of rieasant Hill
iiind she's only 13 and another is Shciyl Hathaway of Lebanon
Jiind she is 15.
'. Only The First Chapter . . .
"They're belli real hard to delcat."
Margaret has two sisters, one a student at Oregon State Uni
,'versity and Die other a student at Southern Oregon College.
t- Neither have ever shown an Interest In competitive sports.
; "They're more Interested in housework and boys!
" "01 course, I m. ion!"

ments of their young athlete-scholar-lcador.
And well they should lie.
A eood wager 1s the entire town of Gilchrist and (he school

automatically comes out of the
hole. This is not a conscious
action on his part. It happens
in natural relation to the
swing, if your ball has been
drilled properly.
When the thumb slides out
of its hole without any effort
on his part, Allison turns his
palm so it is at a right angle
wilh the pins instead of facing
the target. As his hand comes
up. this turn, plus the raising
of the hand, not only lifts the
ball over the foul line, it im
parts an action that causes the
ball to hook and produce a lot
of action that topples pins.
