Row II: N. Breeding, H. Meredith, E. Petersen, R. Brooks Row III: G. Thomas, D. Sweet , Winning baseball teams have become a tradition around Eastern. Much of the success achieved by our teams can be accredited to Coach Spitler and his assistant, Mr. Sheathelrn. This year, these two coaches have their charges working every night with the aim of turning out another winning team. Success for this season depends greatly on such veterans as Don Heller, Don Helmer, Eugene Petersen, Gary Thomas, and Neil Breeding. These boys, plus good reserve power, give our team the necessary ingredients for a successful season. ll07J

Wrestling Wrestling, ably coached by Don Johnson, ended its third year at Eastern. Cheered on by enthusiastic crowds, our men placed third both in the 5-A and the state. Dean McKay, state cham- pion of a year ago, proved his worth this year by annexing another state crown. Our other state champion was Bob Foster at 145 pounds. Don Phillips, winner of the state AAU meet, Dick Reese, Tom Champras, and Max Van Vlerah all showed plenty of power in their respective weights. With good material coming up, Coach Johnson hopes for an even more successful year in 1950.

Thirty men compose the track 1 X Gaim 3555 7 team, and Coaches Stillman and Eldred are putting the boys through their paces. Eastern's chances for a winning team this year have been weakened by a poor turnout of upper classmeng how- ever, the large number of talented sophomore athletes indicates future strength. Probable point winners will be Dean McKay in the mile run, john Bond and Jack Sturtevant in both the 440 and relays, plus Dennis Gil- christ and Chris Saunders in the sprints. Ron Miske, Bob Sears, and Bruce Newman, all sophomores, will compete in the high jump. Maiwiami HM! law L1o9J
