game, drop into a Pacific
Coast league ballpark some
time this year. Chances are
you'll see two contests for
the price of one without hav

finally downed Spokane 4-3.
Manager George Metkovich
of the Padres got off easy.
Umpire Pat Orr chased him

fore Monday night's game was
to end. San Diego scored first
in the sixth when Mitch June
walked and scored on a sacri
fice and two wild pitches by
25-1 shots before the season
began. .-
But those odds looked en
tirely out of line Monday
night when the Dodgers
stretched their lead to a full
game by beating the Pirates,
9-3, behind Drysdale's nifty
six-hit pitching.
The victory was Drysdale's
first over Pittsburgh since
1957 and his third of the sea
son. Quite a difference from
a year ago when Drysdale's
record was 0-3 and the Dodg
ers were floundering 'in last
place.
The Los Angeles-Pittsburgh
game was the only one play
ed in the majors Monday. The
two other ones scheduled-Chi-
cago at Milwaukee and San
Francisco at Philadelphia
wire rained out. All the Amer
ican league clubs were idle.
Drysdale opened the Dodg
ers' eastern swing by striking
out seven Pirate batters. That
gave him a total of 32 strike
outs so far, tops in the. Na
tional league.
In addition to his pitching,
Drysdale, a guy who swings
a mean bat, also collected two
of his team's 11 hits and had
a hand in a five-run first in
ning rally that cased George
Witt and sewed up the game
for Los Angeles.
By winning, the Dodgers
opened up a one-game gap
over Milwaukee and San Fran
cisco, who are tied for second
place.
In the American league, the
eastern clubs launch their
first western swing today.

Relocation
Possible
Portland (UPD Possible
relocation of the University
of Oregon football stadium
in Eugene was given informal
blessing of the State Board
of Higher Education here to
day. Dr. O. Meredith Wilson,
university president, was au
thorized to negotiate with the
State Highway commission
for purchase of 94 acres of
land in a proposed park and
recreation area. The area is
located across the Willamette
river from the Oregon cam
pus. The present stadium is lo
cated near1 the eastern end of
the campus.
Wilson said the city of Eu
gene, Lane county and the
state system of higher edu
cation would be partners in
the proposed development.
The land would be purch
ased from the highway com
mission at a cost of $1000 per
acre. It would be bought
with money from an athletic
reserve fund.
Cheaper Land
Wilson said only about 40
to 50 acres would be needed
for the stadium and its park
ing facilities. Under an in
formal agreement with the
highway department, the re
maining land would be repur
chased by the state at the
same price.
Wilson emphasized that the
land would be cheaper than
any land close to the campus.
He said the' present site of
the stadium would be more
valuable for academic use.
The .overall plan to 'devel
op the park and recreation
area is ""the most significant
community planning that I
have ever seen," he said.
Wilson will negotiate with
the highway commission and
will bring a concrete propos
al to the board next month.
If approval is given then he
will complete negotiations
later in May with the commis
sion. He made the proposal at a
meeting of the board's build
ing committee. The board
members indicated approval.
