Despite a hard workout in which he impressed his opponents
with his Jimmy Walker-like hustle and drive, this bearded chap

was down ever since June Cleaver upped and left him.
"Gee, Ozzie you look just like you swallowed a worm" said
Beaver. The Beav looked a little green around the gills from
a week long drinking spree with Larry "Fats" Mondello, a

schoolboy first
NEW YORK (') - Dave Ro-
berts, a .410 hitter for the UnI-
versity of Oregon, became only
the second collegian in the 15-
year history of the baseball
draft to be selected at the No.1
pick in the regular phase when
he was tapped by the San Diego
Padres Tuesday.
The Padres, who batted No. 1
in the draft of free agents be-
cause they had the worst re-
cord in the majors last sea-
son, went into the draft looking
for the best player available
rather than a player who had
the potential to fill a specific
position.
They feel they found both in
Roberts. a right-handed hitting
and throwing third baseman,
who in 37g ames hit 12 homers,
and 'truck ot ons onee in
144 at-bats.
Infielders were the most priz-
ed, 11 selected compared with
eight pitchers, three catchers
and two outfielders. How many
will make the majors remains
a major question-mark, but 12
players from the last two drafts
aireadiedith major league
clubs inctuding home mnilad-
er Dave Kingman of San Fran-
cisco and pitchers Burt Hooton
of the Chicago Cubs and Pete
Broberg of Texas.
After San Diego selected Rob-
erts, Cleveland picked short-
stop Richard Manning, a .614
hitter at LaSalle High School
in Niagara Falls, N. Y., and
Philadelphia went for Larry
Christiansen, a towering 6-foot-
3 pitcher from Marysville High
School in Marysville, Wash.
One unusual aspect of the
first round was the selection of
two players from one school-
Rancho Cordova High School
in Rancho Cordova, Calif. Out-
fielder Mike Ondina was pick-
ed by the Chicago White Sox
and shortstop Jerry Manuel by
Detioit
