Bulldogs To Victory Although these three spec-dsters were the Big Tlll'l'l'.,, they could never Win a meet hy themselves. They had to have many good boys backing them up and Well they did. Dave Freeman, senior pole vaulter, who blossomed out this year after relatively staying in the haekground, chose his senior year as his year to shine. After placing fourth in the City Meet, he went on to tie the city champ for first place in the lletcrshurg Relays and the conference meet. Freddie Bosse, wt-ll known in athletics during his four-year tenure at Bosse, also fared very well in the pole vault. Tom Young, senior high jumper, won the city meet this year, as he soared to a height of 5 ft.-ll in. Although outshone hy Snodgrass in the hurdles, Dick Alhin was always out there giving his all for Bosse. -lim Alderson and Don Lcllnc took turns running on one of the Hnest half-mile relay teams we ever had. Adrian Fleming, discovered in a gym class, was invited to try out for the squad, and participated in the broad jump. During our four years at Bosse these boys and many othcrs gave us many fine track squads and many chznnpionships. 1957-58 varsity track squad - Ist row, left to right - T. Ynung, H. Turner, D.

BASEBALL, coached hy Art Acker, got off to a slow start this year, but after they got a few games under their br-lt, they turned on the steam and at the time senior edition went to press hey had a win streak of four games going. Spring rains slowed the team down in early May. Before their first game they had only a few practices in which to thaw out their winter kinks. Opening their season with two losses to XVadesville,and Jasper, 3-1 and 4-2, respectively, our team finally got in the win col- umn, downing Mater Dei in their third game, 9-0. After dropping their fourth gaune to Memorial, 4-2, our glovemen started their win streak. First came Tell City, 9-1, then North 4-0, all falling to the 1low-experienced dizunontl crew. Lincoln fell to our squad 24-l. Next a previously un- beaten Pieitz team came tumbling down, 3-2, under our powerful force. Seniors Eddie Epperson, Torn Dorris, Don Hess, Ron Folz and Barry John- son all helped to stage the win streak. These seniors were hacked by a powerful squad of nnderclassmen. The hunt signal is on, and senior Don Ilcss reaches out for the bail in an attempt to sacrifice ri Bossa runner flown to .second base. Coach Art Ackcr watches the action from the third base coaching box while Ilcss .stretclzcs out to reach the low pitch. 25
