The Andrew Warde baseball team, which last year qualified for the state tournament, also sporti ed a successful season this year. As soon as the weather became clement, the battery candidates began loosening up. Then with the ground on Warde's new ballfield hard enough to be played upon, the other candidates began practice. Re- turn-veterans Douglas Holmquist, Glen Englander, Howard Ratner, David Hamilton, Edward Moffit and Rudy Tackas, the able direction of Coach Robert Jackson, plus the newly chosen players equalled a victorious season for the determined Eagles. This year's team, having upheld Andrew Warde's excellent baseball record, displayed the spirit and determination which have characterized all teams in the past, in the present, and will con- tinue to do so in the future. sports Q 1' lu fi cf in lx ,Ti K N 4 Q W- X 5 i s ii .,..-hw
