BASEBALL - Front Row: Jerry Her- Andy Isaacson, Bill Combs, Bruee Glo- Kyle Holmes, Dave Driver, Ron Cham- Winning appeared to be a habit. that was hard to break for the jun- ior varsity baseball team. Whether squeaking through 4-3 or running over their adversaries 13-2, they al- ways played for keeps. The J Vs led the Southern Oregon JV Conference in wins - losing only three league games, one to Grants Pass, Medford, and Crater. Starting the season with four easy wins seemed to throw the Indian junior squad off guard for a close loss to Grants Pass 1-2. With the other three season losses strung out evenly during the remainder of the season, the junior varsity, for the most part, stood ground at the win- ner's stand. Freshman Kelly Davidson put in impressive showings in several fields to help lead Roseburg to a winning season. Leading the team in batting average - .382, RBIs - 15, and team points - 116, Davidson showed much potential as an Indian baseball regular. bers, Bruce Carne, Bob Steen, Marty Mittle- steadt.

Downing three dual opponents be- fore dropping the last two meets, the Indian thinclads produced a. much improved record over that of the previous year. With several out- standing individuals and good depth in most events, things were looking up for the '72 tracksters. When district rolled around, the team was feeling prime in several areas. Weight stars Stan Washing- ton and Bruce Richter pulled through the rainy weather to take first and second respectively in both the shot and discus. Washington's discus throw set a new district mark of 170'3n. Powering his way down the sloggy runway to leap 20'11 , John Spakousky won the long jump for the Indians. Distance runner Paul Diedrich took second in the mile run behind meet record holder Claude Neuen- schwander of Ashland. Rounding out the five state qualifiers, sophomore Curt Mendenhall placed fourth in the 100-yard dash in a time of 10 flat. Only two contenders from Rose- burg placed in state. Stan Washing- ton spun the discus to a fourth place finish and landed the shot out far enough to snag third. Placing right behind Stan in the shot was team- mate Bruce Richter. Boys' Track 131
