Gary Heintz, a squadman from last year, figures to hold down second base despite a challenge from Rick Melead. A real dog fight looms at first between I.V.

Lancers Look for Improvement Over Last Year Varsity Baseball: front rowg Pat Maloy, Bob Villedent, Rick Melead, Stene Hudson, Steve Gallegosg .fECOIId701l Coach Gleeson T Taylor, Dennis McDougal, Pete Sanchez, Jim Travis, Bob Darling, Raoul Valenzuelag llvird row: Rene Hurley Bob Suedkamp John gensmyer, Ruddy Valenzuela, Mr. Weakland. The lack of one pitcher kept Salpointe from rush- ing to second place last year. With sound pitching and good defense, the Lancers kept very much in the race until the final two weeks, when, without a pitch- ing substitute for Larry Brazaskas, Salpointe dropped five straight and bowed out of title contention with a 9-11 record. Key losses leave this year's squad a big question mark. The most significant problem facing Coach Glea- son's ball club is filling his depleted pitching staff. Danny Mejia, Q3-1, 1.97 ERAD, is the only member with experience. junior Varsity.Hurlers Rick Melead, Rich Gallegos and Steve Hudson are up for a shot at starting assignments. Newcomer Mike Wolfe appears to have all the tools for making a contribu- tion to the team. The outfield seems set and strong. Pete Sanchez, C.529j, an American Legion All-Star, is set at left field, as is sparkplug Bobby Gomez, f.533j, who leads off and holds down right field.

Heading the contingent are Pat Dejonghe in the low hurdles, Randy Wooley and Mike Nichols in the highs, while Randy appears set for improve- ment at high jump. The Barcelo brothers, Cosme and Rudy, dominate the pole vault picture while Charlie Brackney, with his gang of Gene Adams, Len Sweeney, Bill Lavor, and Freddy Elias look forward to ending impres- sively their distance careers. Dave Watkins in the discus and Gilbert Garcia in the shot put are gun- ning for improvement. School Records: High hurdles: T. Nichols, P. Dejonghe 15.5, 440 yd. relay: C. Whilemy, J. Fishman 44.3, D.
