O J.V.'s Out to Maintain Record Tneq Made in 1960 Opening their season with a 9-1 victory over Salpointe, Catalina's Junior Varsity Baseball squad appeared To be in a position to tight it out for the city champion- ship. Led by the hitting and fielding of third baseman Steve Owens, Center fielder Glenn Thompson, second baseman Keith Wells, first baseman Bob Beaver, and pitcher John Holstrom, the Junior Troians expected their toughest competition from Tucson and Rincon. Coached by Les Wood, the Trojans main weak point was in the pitching department but coach Wood ex- pected this to be overshadowed by better than average hitting and good fielding. City champions last year when they were freshmen, they hoped to continue winning ways. K ., , S, ff- N YV! .1 z 5 Couch Les Wood ,ei -tgilt it A f C 9655335 .ri - I ga, 4- Q .Hina 1 .f ,,,, V.
