Racquet Club Receives Pointers THIS YEAR ' S LARGE TENNIS CLUB made cm impressive showing under the coaching of Mr. Berg. George Jamison and Pete Lopez, John Tripp and Charles Roach, returning lettermen, did a large part in racking up a good record for the year. Although matches were at a premium this year, the Owl racquet wielders managed to get their share of wins in season play. The Litch- field club was represented in the District Tourna- ment, but the competition proved too formidable, thus keeping the Owls from competing in the state tourney. The officers of the Tennis Club were: Date THE SEASON ' S RECORD School Owls March 18 — Scottsdale 2 March 25 — Buckeye 4 April 12 — Buckeye 1 April 26— Tolleson 4 Opp. 2 2 3 President Archie Tucker Vice President Mansfield O ' Neil Secretary Beverly Reese Treasurer John Tripp Instructor Mr. Berg (36)

Batsmen Face Tough Schedule COACH OLSSON ' S ROOKIE SQUAD, boasting only three returning lettermen, could not over- come a steady losing streak this year, but they did build a strong foundation for next year ' s diamond season. The Owl nine will lose two graduates: Charles Willbern, and George McNeil, shortstops and pitchers. The Owl pitching battery was made up of McNeil, Moreno, and Willbern. This year the first base position was held down by Trujillo, Wood, and Ray. Stewart played second and Polley played third. Moreno and Ackman served behind the bat, and the fielding was done by Tomlinson and Needham in left field, Wood in center, and Brownlie in right field. Willbern and McNeil served alternately as pitcher and shortstop.

Although fighting all the way, they could not pull out of a steady slump. Next year ' s ball team will feature more exper- ienced players since Polley, Moreno, Stewart, and Wood will head the list of returning lettermen. Wood will probably be the star moundsman of next year ' s team. STANDING: Polley. Ray. Sweeney. Wood. Brownlie. Willbern, Tomlinson, Moreno. SITTING: Mr. Olsson. Hall. Needham. Lopei. McNeil, Ackman.
