Trutman, R. Hamilton, A. Harr, B. Flarland, C. Davies, Coach Friberg. Coach Gregg Friberg, using top quality reserves, began early in forming a stronger reserve squad than in previous seasons. Because of added strength, due to the large number of returning varsity lettermen, this year's reserve diamondmen are looking forward to a greatly improved season and possibly a city reserve champion- ship. This year the reserves played a number of games on their own home field, which was just finished this year. These talented reserves put a lot of strain on the varsity for starting positions, because they continually came up with sparkling performances to show varsity capability. A hardy congratulations should be given to Coach Friberg and his troop of hustling reserves for a fine season and an excellent showing for Mount Tahoma in reserve competition. One-Hundred-Eight
