The Murray State baseball record of 7-12 wasn ' t overly impressive, but it looks better in the light of the fact that it was compiled by a team that was composed largely of freshmen. This was the first time in three years, that the Breds had not at least reached the division playoffs of the Ohio Valley Conference. The Racers will be coached for the first time by Johnny Reagan. With a new coach and a number of experienced men returning, bolstered by another crop of good freshmen prospects, the outlook is the bright- est in recent years. BASEBALL I 189

TRACK Marshall Gage, Thoroughbred hurdle ace, displays form that makes him one of the best in the O.V.C. Judging from the won and lost record, coach Bill Ferger- son ' s Murray State trackmen did not have a very successful season. However, it should be remembered that last year was the first year that added emphasis was placed on track, so the year was used mostly for building for later years. The Breds were sixth in the OVC conference meet, but they were only eleven points behind first place Eastern. Marshall Gage was second in the high hurdles and fourth in the low hurdles and John Brooks picked up a second in pole vault. Back for the ' 58 season will be four other lettermen. With these six and a crew of promising freshmen, the tracksters should be among the conference leaders. John Brooks, second in the O.V.C, approaches the take-off for a practice jump.

From a very limited program just a few years ago, it has grown to the extent that this year there were several sports in which the students could par- ticipate, including flag football, basketball, swimming, hand- ball, volleyball, tennis, softball, archery, and ping-pong.
