The colors of Blue and Gray were for the second time this year flying in the C. I. F. playoFFs. This feat was accomp- lished by the I954 EI Rancho Varsity Baseball Squad, coached by Jack Dandrige who gave us a Bee football champion- ship. The Don sluggers swept eight out ot ten S. G. V. L. games, defeating runner up Baldwin park twice. The Dan- ridge clemons blasted such teams as Monrovia, Santa Maria, Citrus, South Pasadena, Paramount, California, Centennial Bell Gardens and Baldwin Park. Only two boys on this years squad are seniors which means more glory tor EI Rancho on the Baseball diamond next year. Coach Earle Fisher gave us another championship as his J.V.'s blasted four hopless league opponents. The Fisher nine romped to such victorys as I7-6 over Paramount, 2I-4 over Baldwin Parlc, and I5-I against Bell Gardens. George Edwards led the men of Fisher in hitting, his pitching was also a standout.
