8 County Gazotto Medina, May 14, '68 2 Black River Thinclads Going To Regional Buckeye Runners Are Held Scoreless MILE RELAY TEAMS from the two Class A Medina County schools failed to finish in the money at last night's District Track Meet In Berea. At left. Black Dave Aker hands off to Gay Kast while (above) Larry Krueger passes the baton to teammate Don Bryenton. The Outdoor Trail By Dean Sponseller The Senior Division of the Medina Rifle Pistol Gub played host recently to the first Ohio State Hi-Power Rifle Match of the year at the m- ber one shooting grounds, Camp Perry. The Match, sponsored by the Ohio Rifle Sc Pistol Association, featured the competitive scoring of some one hundred and thirty shooters.

With the exception of some early morning fog on the second day of the two- day match, the big bore specialists fired under perfect weather conditions. In addition to conducting the Hi-Power Match, the senior members of the Medina group brought along eight members of their Junior Division and, under supervision, gave most of them a first experience in hi-power rifle shooting. The boys reportedly turned in excellent scores for their initial shoot with the big guns. Sgt. Sid Bowman of the Medina Police Department and a Senior Division coach, comment ing on the youngsters fine showing, said, would appear that many hours of training made available to these boys through the efforts of Judge C.

B. McGure, Robert Yaekle and Jim Groetz has paid The young sharp shoot from Medina, who scored high at Camp Perry were: Mark Jameyson, Frank Schmitzer, Phil Baird, Mike Groetz, Dave Klopp, Jim Stone, Bob Yaekle, Jr. and John Burke. Senior Gub instructors and coaches, supervising the Junior! competition were: Bill Groetz, Don Gorman. Sid Bowman, Frank Nebesar, Dan Schoenback, Stan Dylinski, Yaekle, Stan Condon and Bob Ank ney.

Want to chase a rainbow? Some really fine rainbow trout fishing out at Howard Maple Lake, on Rt. 301 south of Belden. This reporter and son, Jim, caught the popular and scenic pay waters shortly after the cloudburst, Thursday even i and before the tempera turned rather coolish hooked two both of which were about 15-inches in length. The fish were fooled into grabbing at Panther Martins and were wrestled in on light spinning tackle. Besides the rainbows, Howard has his lake stocked with perch up to 11-inches, large walleyes and bass.

The stockings of trout have been monstrous with over 300 fish planted, weighing some 400 pounds. The fishing pleasure is there and the fee is reasonable. You can reach Maple Lake by driving to Belden on Rt. 57, turn left on Rt. 76 and its the third or fourth place on the left past the Belden Fire House.

You miss it. Apparently in the eyes of certain TV news analyists, the National Rifle i has emerged as a very hwrible, 20th Century boogie man in the fight against radical gun legislature. This reporter has also shed a few rebuffs on the score. I in no way pose as a spokesman for the NR A but have some feelings about fanaticism that fit in with the thinking of the Rifle lobbying. Senator Thomas Dodd and fol- lowers such as presidential aspirant, Robert Kennedy have fixed ideas about gun legislation, which if accepted, would throw a noose on American citizenry with a very un-American 1 a of total gun prohibition.

President Johnson reportedly belongs to this camp. Senator Roman L. Hruska of Nebraska with his Firea BUI, S. 1853, brings sanity to the controversy. Major groups throughout the country have accepted i propos a I s.

And with S. 1853, Hruska puts the squeeze on lax mail and across-the-counter sales of fire-arms the really big issue in gun legislation of any kind. The Nebraska bill, at least to this reporter, seems lilte the truly sensible approach to the whole issue. But for some reason, probably the unreasonable, dogmatic desires of those zeroing in for total prohibition, S. 1853 make the grade.

Its too bad because of the prohibitionists get their way, the American sportsman and for that matter all the citizenry (not the criminal) will be the big losers. Tribe Downs Reds Bees' Nine Overturns N.Olmsted Paced by a 14-hit attack, Medina High baseballers, behind the three-hit pitching of Rick Williams, blasted North Olmsted out of first place in the Southwestern Conference standings, 9-0. Five players had two or more hits for the winning Bees, Tom Gevidence, Ray Eckert, Marv Gneve. Ray Matacic, Tonny Baratta, Larry Peacock. Rick Williams had a double.

While on the mound, Williams struck out seven, walked four and relinquished three hits. loss ousted the losers from the top position in the SWC. Bay Village, idle yesterday, takes the league lead. Medina is now 6-11 overall and 2-7 league play. SCORING N.

The Indians gave the National League team an exhibition of what the American League has been buzzing about recently the Tribe pitching staff.
