JV's Drive Results in Good Season Forecast IV fielders move in toward the mound in an- to George Milliron during practice. The IV'S are ticipation ot a grounder as George Miller pitches particularly strong on defense. Composed almost entirely of sopho- mores, the junior varsity baseball team, according to coach lack Geary shows drive and determination and a real hard working squad which could make up for the lack of upper classmen. Coach Geary adds that the boys are very strong on defense, especially in the infield and show a lot of strength in hitting. He feels that their hitting will compensate for the lack of pitchers. Leading the team in hitting are Iohn Francis, Frank Miranda, Mike Good- man, and lack Cox. Geary predicts they should come up with a good season and place well in the division.
