Seaman The Lady Bulldogs opened up On Saturday three swimmers from the Corn- ing Manta Rays swim team participated in the Escape from Alcatraz swim spon- sored by the South End Row Club of San Francis- co.

The Ravens were the only team in the divi- sion to win the opener. And while the offense certainly was impressive, Baltimore's defense also excelled in its first game under coordinator Dean Pees. Playing without injured NFL Defensive Player of the Year Terrell Suggs — who had 14 sacks last year — the Ravens dropped Andy Dalton four times. Not only that, but Balti- more turned two turnovers into touchdowns over a two-minute span. After Reed's touchdown return, 37-year-old linebacker Ray Lewis forced a fum- ble that was recovered by Lardarius Webb, setting up a 1-yard touchdown run by Rice to make it 41-13 with 13:41 remaining. Reed's jaunt with a pass tipped by Cincinnati receiver Brandon Tate put the diminutive safety in the NFL record book. Reed has 1,497 yards in inter- ception returns, eclipsing the previous record of 1,483 yards by Rod Wood- son. It was Reed's seventh career score on a pickoff return. Also participating in the swim were Mark Pritchard of Corning, Mark O'Sulli- van, and Bill Groom of Red Bluff, and Nou Gordan of Tehama. There were a total of but we had wet suits. The hard part was seeing where you were going because it was windy and the swells were 3 feet high with white caps. But it was a blast and would do it again in a heartbeat." said Pritchard after finishing the race a strong 13th in his age bracket. Touvell and Wilson also swim for the Corning High School Swim team. Spon- sors for the swimmers were Blue Oak Reality of Red Bluff, Potrero Land Fill of Suisun, and Tiger Lines Trucking of Lodi.

It had been 76 years since a British man won a Grand Slam singles championship and, at least as far as Murray was concerned, it was well worth the wait. Andy Murray finally wins Ending a nation's long drought, and snapping his own four-final skid in majors, Murray finally pulled through with every- thing at stake on a Grand Slam stage, shrugging off defending champion Djokovic's comeback bid to win 7-6 (10), 7-5, 2-6, 3-6, 6-2.

Who said the reigning NFC West champions couldn't do it all again even with a far more daunting schedule? ''It's a big win,'' three- time Pro Bowl running back Frank Gore said Monday, a day after rushing for a key 23-yard touchdown with 8:41 left at Lambeau Field. ''We've got to keep going, keep working.'' The Niners snapped an eight-game losing streak in Green Bay dating to 1990. More than that, they showed they are a legitimate NFC contender for the second straight season. From the day the schedule came out, many looked at San Francis- co's games and saw the list as much more challenging than a year ago — starting in MCT photo Mario Manningham breaks past A.J. Hawk's tackle Sunday in Green Bay. Week 1 on the road against the Packers. Even Harbaugh acknowledged his team might not have as many wins in 2012. Now, the Nin- ers are 7-2 on the road since he took over before last sea- son and became NFL Coach of the Year. That road mark ranks second in team history to George Seifert, who won his first 16 road games. ''Poise comes from con- fidence. You'd be darn sur- prised if they didn't have confidence, they work extremely hard, they prepare so well and that's something that we need to keep doing,'' Harbaugh said Monday. ''The way we work, the way we prepare is one of the best things we've got going for us. You want to see that con- tinue.'' Alex Smith was an impressive 20 of 26 for 211 yards and two touchdowns for a 125.6 quarterback rat- ing despite being sacked four times. He has thrown 185 straight passes without an interception to break Hall of Famer Steve Young's franchise mark of 184. Smith, the 2005 No. 1 over- all draft pick, tossed only five interceptions all of last season. He rallied his team from behind five times, including a 36-32 victory against the favored Saints in the NFC divisional playoffs. The defense that impressed each week during the 2011 resurgence didn't back down from Rodgers all day, either, capitalizing with NaVorro Bowman's fourth- quarter interception to set up Gore's touchdown run. ''You turn on the TV or you hear people say, 'No, the Packers are going to beat them by two or three touch- downs' and you hear every- body saying all this and that,'' linebacker Patrick Willis said. ''But we know what we have and we have complete confidence in one another here across the board — offense, defense and special teams. As long as we have that and we're still together, I think we're capable of doing anything.'' And All-Pro kicker David Akers did it yet again, nailing a 63-yarder for one of his three field goals on the day — all from at least 40 yards. Akers set the NFL single-season record for made field goals with 44 in 2011, his first season with San Francisco. The 63-yarder hit the crossbar and went through the uprights, tying an NFL record. It came 18 seconds before halftime to give Har- baugh's group some See 49ERS, page 2B
