UPI Sports writer
You couldn't tell the play
er.s without a scorecard today
when baseball's other 18 ma
jor league teams - featuring
a multitude of new faces - at
tempted to catch up with the
Baltimore Orioles and the
Cincinnati Reds
The Orioles and the Reds
were first out of the gate Mon
day. President Kennedy wai
among 43,022 fans who watch
ed Baltimore turn back the
Washington Senators, 3-1, in
the nation's capital while the
Reds bounced the Pittsburgh
Pirates, 9-2, at Cincinnati.
Nine additional openers
were on today's schedule, in
cluding a pair of night games.
More than 70 players chang
ed uniforms during the off
season as every team except
Minnesota completed a trade
involving at least one key
player.
Home runs figured promi
nently in Monday's curtain-
raisers.
The Orioles rode to their
victory over the Senators on
aecond-lnnlng clouts by Jim
Gentile and John tBooijl Pow
ell. Steve Barber limited the
Nats to seven hits but needed
ninth-inning relief help from
Slu Miller.
Frank Robinson hit a two
run homer In his first at-bal
and Gordle Coleman added a
solo blast to get the Reds off
winging. Jim O'Toole pitched
a six-hitter and got strong
support from his Inficldcrs,
who clicked off double plays
In each of the first four in
nings. Donn Clendcnon hom

"I'm proud of every one of
them.
Concerning the record

high mile relay team. Benson
declared, I was astounaea.
He also remarked, "That was

put out.
The Tornado tutor reported

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

EX-TORNADOES HEAD
A note from Dick Patter
son, sports editor of the Ore
gon Dally Emerald, which
keeps getting covered up on
our desk:
Don Peck, Lowell Dean and
Booth Deaklns, all ex-Med-
ford High hoopsters, formed
the core of the Theta Chi bas
ketball team which won the
University of Oregon intra
mural league. Patterson de
scribed the Theta Chi club as
"one of the best we've ever
had." The team was unbeaten
and won its final game by 72

points and Peek and Deakins
each 16.
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. This team wag
considered by Coach Pete
Kmctovic as the finest rugby
team he has had here. It won
13 matches against only one
loss. 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."
