WootenPitchesNo-No As Tornado Wins 12-0 By Hank Green Coach Alex McDonald Is still looking for some hard hitters on this year's Medford high baseball team but he seems to have found at least one topnotch local pitcher-Last Friday afternoon the Tornado nine opened its South ern Oregon conference baseball season with a 12 to 0 victory over Eagle Point high on the local field with Derald Wooten going seven innings without giving up either a run or a hit. On the other hand the local boys could garner but two hits, both singles. Show Good Form Wooten, a sophomore right hander who shows good pitching form for a youngster, struck out 13 Eagles and walked one in the seven inning contest. Only in the second inning was Wooten in trouble as far as an Eagle Point score was concerned. In that frame Pat Simmons reached first on an error and went to third on another mis play. With Simmons on third and only one out Pitcher Bob Doher ty drove a fly fairly deep right which Terry Maddox hauled down. Simmons tried to score alter the catch but was thrown out by a good five feet as Maddox s throw came in perfectly on one hop and Catcher Gary Boshears had plenty of time to make the tag for the third out. Walks to Medford Eleven walks by Pitcher Doherty of the Eagles plus six visitor's errors and some heads up baserunning by Medford helped most in spelling a Tor nado victory. Medford's first inning in which the Tornado tallied seven runs saw walks to Boshears, Don Coss, Maddox, "Scooter" Loop and Wooten, errors on hits by Jim Whitby and Boshears up for the second time and a line single over second by "Snuffy" Smith. The other Medford hit a single by Boshears in the fifth stanza, was a line drive about waist high that the pitcher could not handle in time for a play at first base.

Coach Bob Antonacci of the Oregon State wrestling squad which won the Pacific Coast con ference championship and only recently returned from taking honors in the national intercol legiate matches back east, ex pressed this opinion during a vis it here. Stop Here Briefly He and "Bump" Elliott of the OSC coaching staff stopped in Medjord briefly on their way from Klamath Falls back to Cor vallis after attending a banquet in Klamath for the Pelicans' state champion wrestling team. Antonacci said he planned to talk with Coach Mel Ingram of the Grants Pass high staff rela tive to having an amateur wres tling clinic in the valley some time in the future. The OSC coach expressed the opinion that Medford could do well in amateur wrestling and said he hoped very much to see the sport started in the Pear city school. He pointed out that boys of 95 to 150 pounds who were too light for football and many other body contact sports can take part in amateur wrestling without meeting someone much heavier. Wrestling in schools and colleges is divided into weight classes. Helps Football Team Antonacci also believes that wrestling can help boys of "foot ball size" in playing that sport. Except for perhaps one year when a school or two had an inter-school match with Medford and several times when ama teur wrestling was conducted on a gym class basis, the Black Tor nado has had no such sport ac tively coached. Medford has had some inter school and quite a bit of intra squad boxing under the tutelage of Fred Spiegelberg. however. Trouble In lining up schools for inter-school matches was en countered this year and last, however.
