"Pick a good mature one, with strong legs. Keep them cool and don't handle them any more than you have to," says John Hand of Brownsville. And Hand should know.

Of the five frogs he brought to Jefferson on Sunday, four made the finals and one set a new Oregon Frog Jump championship mark of 18 feet 52 inches. It was a frog named "Johnny Crank," jockeyed by Hand's wife, Mary, which made a triple-jump of 18 feet 5 inches in the preliminaries of senior division and did half an inch better in the finals. The jump eclipsed the former Oregon record of 15 feet 8' inches set in 1962 by a frog from Scotts Mills. In fact four of the frogs entered in Sunday's competition surpassed the old mark, two of them doing it twice. Left unchallenged is the world frog-jump mark of 19 feet 3V inches set in 1966 at the Jumping Frog Jubilee at Angels Camp, Calif.

About 200 frogs were entered in Sunday's competition, sponsored by the Jefferson Jaycees. The weather was a sunny 87 degrees. Winning frog jump competition at Jefferson is nothing new for the Hand family. This is the third time in five years someone from the family has been in the finals. In addition to Hand's wife winning the top prize, his brother, Stanley Hand of Brownsville, entered the frog LBJ and placed with a preliminary jump of IS' 9" and final round mark of 15' a cousin, Eddie Pitts also of Brownsville, whose frog jumped 16' 4'2" the first time but only 11' in the finals; and Pitts' wife, jockeying "Daddy Long Legs" to jump of 14'6" and 14' 3V.

Rounding out the senior division finalists was Corey Brown of Jefferson, whose frog got into the finals with a jump of 16' 5" but jumped only 14' 9'6 in the finals. Hand's own entry jumped only 14' 1" in the preliminaries, so didn't make it to the finals. An uncle, Lloyd Hand, jockeyed a frog to a jump of 14' 3 but that wasn't good enough to enter the finals. Shortest jump of the day was 2' llVi" by a frog Duiurog entered in uie compeuuon wa: one ui 4 pounds 3 ounces entered by Jack Johnson of Albany. Entry from furthest away was "Sebastian Thorndyke" from Vancouver, B.

C. Last year's champion, Mrs. Jacob (Sue) Claasen of Brownsville, was back with a younger frog, Armstrong but it managed a jump of only 5' Her son. Randy, did better with a frog named after his high school band director, Ted Marshall. Young Claasen's frog jumped 14' In the junior division, for grade school age youngsters, there were lost of laughs for the audience, but few lengthy jumps, and in only one case did the final jump surpass the preliminary jump.

Junior division finalists, with the preliminary jump listed first, were frogs of Shawn Center, 14' 9 and 10' 31a" Mike Bryant of Jefferson, 13 9" and 3' Janet Westberry of Brownsville, 13' 1" and 10' Jim Bryant of Jefferson, 12' 5" and 6' and Greg Jellison of Jefferson, 12' 24" and 14' 4." Adding a little of his philosophy on selecting winning frogs for the competition, Hand said he hunts for sloughs or farm ponds with high shores, where the frogs are, of necessity, experienced in long, high jumps. He also suggests waiting till the day of competition to remove the frogs from their native habitat and then avoiding unnecessary handling. That's why he used a fish net to remove his family's entries from the jumping circle following their preliminary jumps. "The more you handle them, the more domesticated they get. You want them wild," Hand said.

The laughs in the junior division came from frogs that got away from their masters, little tykes obviously squeamish about handling frogs and the unusual variety of containers ranging from milk cartons to burlap bags in which the frogs arrived on the scene. A crowd estimated at more than 500 sat in the Jefferson High School athletic field grandstands to watch the 14th year of Oregon Frog Jump championships. They passed the time eating barbecued chicken and cold refereshments being served by the Jefferson Lions and auxiliary. But for many families, the dinner menu called for frogs' legs. If Big bullfrogs don't jump very well, discovers Jack Johnson of Albany as he poundsthe ground and blows in a vain attempt to encourage his entry in the Oregon Frog Jump championships at Jefferson on Sunday.

Even though this frog's jump of 5 feet 5 inches was far from being a record, its weight of 2 pounds 3 ounces made it the heaviest frog in the competition. Sunday's competition saw a new Oregon record set at 18 feet 5l2 inches. NEW YORK (AP) The stock market gave up'most of its modest early gains today in moderate trading.
