Baseeal Coach John Rollins’ Boll Weevil squad was looking for some sort of miracle this year. From the beginning of the year, even before the team took to the diamond for spring practice, Rollins knew that pitching would be the big deficiency. And it was. The Weevils finished the season with a discouraging 10-14 record, 4- 10 in the AIC to finish in seventh — place in a field of eight. They had all the elements — except one —for an outstanding season. The team hit well, they had good fielding and excellent speed, but pitching was their downfall. et y,.- ie a 194 Baseball

Denson characterized him as ‘consistent between 14-6 and 15-0.” Gary Davis, a Little Rock sophomore, also showed promise in the 800-meter run, with a 1:54.6 clocking in the last meet of the year. Denson noted that the big problems seem to be speed and field events. With Culp around to handle the hurdles and possibly take points in the high jump and pole vault, the future of the teams rests with Denson’s ability to develop his stable of freshmen to fill in the gaps.
