Spring was officially sprung the first of March t as coach Dick Enberg and the freshman baseball ' team went into first round action. As they are first year players, any speculation on their chances for a winning season has to be made prudently. Their 1 record presently stands at 1-1, but further experience t I should provide enough diamond poise tor a better- than-average record at the seson's end. $52?y 2.1: IN THE FIELD, ROW 1: Nagy, Matsui, Herrick.

A transfer from Volley J.C., he is a fine uIl-oround performer as well as ex- celling on the horizontal and parallel bars. Valley State is justifiably proud of its gym. nostics team. In its first year of competition, the squad won the first CCAA championship in the school's history The start of the 1963 season was slow, but as they progressed from meet to meet, the team gained the momentum needed to cap- ture the CCAA title. Not content to rest on their lourels, Matador gymnasts then won the Cali- fornia State College championship. Coach Bill Vincent credited team unity and skilled individual performances as the main factors in last season's triumphs. The 1964 squad is basically the some as last year's group but the team is better ex- perienced and has gained in poise. Stiff opposi- tion is expected from Cal State at LA. and the U. of California, but team spirit is tremendous and Bill Vincent is again counting upon team. depth and unity to retain the league crown. Re- sults from the first three meets this year show decisive victories to bolster Coach Vincent's op- timistic outlook. The only problem confronting him now is that of campus apathy which he hopes to overcome by establishing the venerable tradition of a winning team. He has definitely taken the first step. During his iunior year, Larry placed fifth in the NCAA finals on the high bar. As a senior, he is expected to do just as well. In addition to the horizontal bar, Larry is a skillful performer on the parallel bar and rings. Larry Robinson In his 105T 1 performer inIm ViCTOinUSIYI 'n tumbling- CHAM
