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.

Card Planned
Larry Burdette and Owen
Thomas, matchmakers for the
Southern Oregon Boxing club,
are in San Francisco in an effort
to line up talent for the club's
next fistic offering at the arm
ory on April 19.
There will be no boxing card
at the armory this week, the
promoters said. They are plan
ning a big show for April 19,
which will consist of eight
matches, each a championship
contest.
Trophies have been ordered
for each winner and in matches
where two southern Oregon boys
meet, it will be for a southern
Oregon title but where a south
ern Oregon boy meets a Califor
nian, it will be for the southern
Oregon-northern California title.
Burdette and Thomas said they
would visit all amateur boxing
gyms in the San Francisco bay
region in an effort to get the
best possible amateur talent for
the star-studded program.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE
OSC Wrestling Coach
Foresees Sport Part
Of Medford Program
Confidence that before long
amateur wrestling will be part
of the Medford high school sports
curriculum and that eventually
inter-school matches between
valley towns will be part of the
sports program was expressed
here Friday.
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.
