Carvalho, OF, H. Uyeno, 3B, and Coach Kubota. We have a pretty fair defensive infield, but need more power at the plate. The KIF championship? l'lI tell you after the season is over. So said Coach Akio Kubota, able mentor of the Red Raider baseball team, who has brought his share of championships to the Kauai High campus. Directing the defense from his catcher's position is Co-Captain Frank Yoshii, the Red's clean-up slugger. Outstanding sophomore shortstop Ken Nakakura, co-captain and erst- while pitcher Howard Uyeno at third, diminu- tive Norman Kamehiro at second, and lanky Delpidio Labogen at first round out a strong infield, The pitching chores will fall on the arms of two underclassmen, sophomores Sun Kwong Say and Caesar Koyanagi. An outfield combo will be fashioned from among Raymond Carvalho, Yuso Kurihara, Simeon Agao, Shigeru Matsumoto, Charles Ishii, Edward Costa, David Shimabukuro, and Mortimer Koide. Reserve catcher David Kaaumoana, Herbert Ida, Thomas Higa, and Douglas Pak are also slated for action. In their pre-season game, the Raiders breezed to an easy IO-l verdict over Honolu- Iu's Mid-Pacific Owls, with Yoshii banging out two triples and two singles and Say and Koya- nagi pitching a three-hitter behind errorless support. Coach Kubota maps out strategy with co-captains How- ard Uyeno, a senior, and Frank Yoshii, a junior. Uyeno, last year's pitching ace, will start at third base, but will be on hand for mound chores when needed. Yoshii, the number four man in the batting line-up, will be field captain from his catcher's position. E
