Height and Spirit Sparks Catalinzfs Freshmen Cagcrs ball team had the spirit of a top notch squad. Team members had the services of 6'5 center Randy Butler. Little Dave Schwanke had the distinction of being the only first stringer under six feet, but made up for it in deft ball handling. Rounding out the team was Barry Metler and Andy Scala who helped give the team its unusual height and speed. Team leading scorers were Eric Evett, Mickey Foster, and Chett Johnson who provided the team punch. The team showed its promised mettle near the end of the sea- son after it got off to a poor start. RICHARD BARNES, frosh basketball coach, has taught mathematics in Tucson for eight years, two at Amphi and six at Catalina. He re- ceived his bachelor's degree at Wisconsin State College and his master's degree at the University of Arizona where he played basketball and baseball. ,' GSALJ4.

Six Returning Lettermen Head '63 Baseball Squad With six returning lettermen and a host of talent from the junior varsity, the Trojan diamondmen opened their 1963 baseball season in hope of better- ing the cellar-dwelling position that they had held last year. Heading the returnees list was three-year letter- man Don Gabriel, playing in the outfield along with infielders Pete Snell, Steve Owens, Kenny Fox, Les Hileman, and Ric Crenell. Expected to see action this year was first baseman Dave Palmer, promising sophomore third-baseman john Hess and outfield pitcher jon Holstrom. The Catalina eleven opened their season with twin wins over Nogales High. In the first game CHS relief pitcher jon Holstrom relieved Ric Crenell in the top of the fourth inning and allowed only one hit during the rest of the contest as the Trojans went on to defeat the Apaches 6-4. jon also collected a double in the final inning to supply the winning runs. It was the same story in the second game as the Trojans came from a 4-0 first inning deficit to notch a 7-5 victory. Again it was Holstrom who was credited with the victory. Ric Crenell was the big man with the bats as he led the CHS hitters with a single and a triple in four times at bat. The Sunny- side eleven handed Catalina its first loss of the season ll-9, as the Blue Devils rallied for 6 runs in the final frame to notch their third win of the season. Even though the Trojans came out on the short end of the score their hitting came alive as both Ric Crenell and Kenny Fox collected three hits. 1 See Spring Supplement for Seasons Recorclj
