Meschke, Coach The 1959-60 B squad, which began work in November as an untried unit, proved to be one of the most exciting teams to watch,that Wabasha has seen in recent years. During the 16 game schedule the Junior Indians won 8 and lost 8, In only one of the games that was dropped were the J. V. s ever out of the picture. Two games were won by about 20 points, but with these exceptions practically all of the games were close. In most of the games 4-6 points separated the teams. Out standing players were: Jim Concidine, Leroy Ekstrand, Joe Flies, Jon Gillmore, David Jones, and Fred Meurer. B Team 23

In the final year of the Whitewater League our Indians finished in fifth placn, Although the record was lopsided, most of the boys showed a great deal of aggressiveness and desire to win The highlight of the season came when Wabasha defeated a good Mazeppa team in the last five seconds of the game. The score was knotted at 66-66 with seven seconds remaining. The Indians called a time-put to stop the clock. The ball was thrown into Dan Larson, the best shot on the team, and he took a desperation shot from 25 feet out. Wabasha won 68-66. This was one of the most thrilling games ever played in ohr gymnasium. Our Team was well balanced this year with three men doing practically all of the scoring. They were Dan Larson (11.5 average points per game), Gary Hager (10.A), and Ed Malone (9). Terry O'Brien and Jim Webb did fine jobs on defense for Wabasha. Next year's team will miss the height and rebounding of seniors Ed Malone and Gary Wagner. Lettermen for the season were: Ed Malone, Gary Wagner, Bill Hughley, Terry O'Brien, Bill Loechler, Jim Webb, Jon Gilmore, Gary Hager, and Dan Larson. 22

Nelson - Coach. Baseball In the opening game against Randolph the team went down to defeat 15 to 1 due to 14 errors. After this game, the team showed steady improvement and played some very good baseball. Succeeding games found them beating Mazeppa 19 to 3 and Eyota 7 to 3. This was followed by a heartbreaking 4 to 3 loss in 12 innings to conference champion, Goodhue. In the district play-offs, Wabasha defeated Mazeppa and then lost a well-played game to a very strong Winona team, 2 to 0. The highlight of the season was Terry O'Brien's rapidly improving pitching, which, at one stretch, saw him pitch 12 consecutive innings without allowing a hit. Chuck Grieves 24 Terry O'Brien, Pitcher
