SYMBOLIC Mcdford's fourth place tro phy In the 1963 Oregon Class A-l basketball tournament Is symbolic of the sacrifices the players made-the things they gave up in order to play ball. That was pointed up by Head Coach Frank Roelandt Friday t a meeting of the Medford Linebackers club. Roelandt and members of his Southern Oregon confer ence co-championshlp squad were guests at the noon lunch eon of the sports boosters group at North's Chuck Wagon. BETTER THAN EXPECTED Roelandt discussed Med- ford's four games In the state tourney. He declared that the Black Tornado had a "typical opening night" in the Leba non game. The coach com mented, "Lebanon was a much better club than we an ticipated." He brought out that his charges came back when it counted and he cited Mike Neathamer and Larry Vowell for a fine defensive job en the Warriors Tim Blan chat. North Eugene was describ ed es a fine ball club by Roe landt but ha stated. "We thought they were better than they really were. He men tioned Jim Hill's tine scoring quarter, pointed to defensive lapse In the early game on the pert of the Tornado and brought out that the Torna does ren out of gas in the fourth period and thai the Highlanders were hitting. Roelendt reported thet. against Pendleton, "we got behind and then pulled out. We played good ball." OP GAME BEST PLAYED Tile coacli told of the com ment of others to him thai the Medford - Grants Pa.ss game was probably the best played game of the whole tourna ment so far as defense and of fense was concerned. He brought out that the two groups of boys had played against eacli other some 30 times since tlicy were ill the seventh grade. 'We think the best club won. said Roelandt. DAY AHEAD NO HELP The Tornado tutor report ed that, if and when he takes a team to the tourney again. It will not go up a day ahead of time as was done this year. He Indicated that the ball club did not profit trom sleep ing In strange beds and from restaurant meals prior to the opening tussle.

REPORT ON McINTYRE A letter on Bob Mclnlyre and Dick Ragsdale, sopho mores from Medford, has come from John Simmons, Stanford university assistant sports publicity director, promising to keep in touch with us on the progress of the two. Said Simmons concerning Mclntyre: "Bob has been a real key in Coach Payton Jordan's sprint plans during this track season and ran a vary fine 49.5 quar ter mile In a recent triangular meet against Fresno State and Oregon State, finishing third. "He has been a member of our 440 relay team which fin ished second to San Jose in . , , triangular with San Jose end Oklahoma in the time of 41.2, only one tenth of a second off the school record of 41.1. Bobby ran the second leg in that par ticular race. The week previ ous he had run the third leg in the same event against Fresno State and Oregon State and was generally cred ited by Coach Jordan with having won that event. He pulled away from his men to give our anchor mar a five yard lead going intcerne final 110 yards. Payton plans to continue using him in all ol the dashes, primarily concen trating him in the 440 yard races in dual meets but with the possibility that he could run in the 100 and 220 if needed." REPORT ON RAGSDALE About Ragsdale, he report ed: "Dick Ragsdale just finish ed a successful year with the Stanford rugby team which won Ihe recent Monterey Rug by tournament, defeating Ore gon State 14-0, The Unlverll ties club of LA 9-0, USC 13-0 and the Kats chtb of British Columbia 22-0.

Dick finished the reason as the regular fullback and was tied for the fourth lead ing scorer with 15 points. His kicking ability earned him the fullback spot, as kicking plays a very Important part in this game."
