DIAMONDMEN TRIUMPH IN A With only three returning lettermen, seniors John ' 'r' ' Lepkowski and John Shannon ,and junior Marty Lap- pin, the 1961 Hoban baseball team repeated an ex- cellent performance, placing second, behind Central, in the Akron City League. Under Coach Zupke, the team fought its way to an 8-7 season. Starting the season with a superlative pitching job by Marty Lappin, who struck out 13 batters, the Ho- ban nine paced a 6-3 Win over South. In the second game Central revealed the strong pinch-hitting of Ron Aaron. Then South tried for revenge. In the last inning the tying and winning runs were scored by All-City catcher Dave Richards and Bob Dadik on a double steal and an error. In the North game, Won by Hoban 14-2, Denny Kraus led the hitting department with a homer and two triples, while Marty Lappin finished with a 4- hitter. Denny Kraus and Bob Dadik were the leading hitters on the team. Losing only five seniors through graduation, Coach Zupke has high hopes for reaching the number one position in the Akron area during the 1962 season.

BURNING THE MAPLES Every Thursday afternoon at 2:50, a bus-load of avid Hoban Kegglers makes its way to the Midway Bowling Lanes on Tallmadge Road. This started in late fall and continued into early May. Twenty-four teams were formed under the direction of Brother Jerome Meyer and led by President Mike Harvey. These teams were composed of all classes, freshmen to seniors. Several teams vied for first place position in order to gain the coveted top-team trophy on May 10. Other trophies awarded at that time were for top-man and top three-game-average man positions. Jim Patch fires the ball in hopes of gaining ano- ther strike to boost the team average. KEGGLERS M KE DEB T Jack Taylor, Anthony Ridle, David Del Pozzo, and Larry McVan watch hopefully as lim Bcmick tallies the scores.
