The squad counted on lettermen Rich Sherrell, Jack West, Dar- rell Harford, and Lee Macomber to carry the team through their season schedule. The Honkers were included with Condon, Rufus, and St. Mary's of The Dalles in league play, due to the new sub-districts created by the re-zoning of various districts in the state. The winning team of each sub-district will meet on May 3, district playoffs, May 10, interdistrict playoffs, May 17, and the state championship B tournament at Drain on May 23 and 24. The probable varsity line-up included the following squad members: Darrell Harford, Bud Weatherford, Phil Hickey, Catchers, Jack West, Enoch Hickey, Harland Bilyeu, First Baseg Bud Wold, Lee Macomber, Second Baseg Monte Rhinehart, Shortstopg Bud Weather- ford and ,lim Bauman, Third Base, Right Field, John Hutson and Joe Potterg Alan Carr and Jay Wheelhouse, Center Field, Don Archer and Percy Rock at Left Field, Rich Sherrell, Jack West, Enoch and Phil Hickey composed the Honker pitching staff.
