1948 COUNTY SOFTBALL CHAMPIONS Back row—Paul ’’Mac McPherson, coach. Gaelon Goff, Dean Tyner, Lewis Urschel, Scott Schmedel, Wayne Burr, John Dierdorf, coach. Middle row—Dean Rautenkranz, Paul Myers, Bill Elliott, Duane Piper, Dave Hodge. Carl Holl, Phil Hodge. Front row—Thurman Bitzell, Dick McKee, Kenny Miller. Donald Brookins. Art Garrison. Leon Kindy, Boh Grossnickle. Having a well balanced team this year, the Trojans came through suffering only one defeat, which was a forfeit. Coach Dierdorf was head of quite a variety of talent and ability. Dave Hodge and Dick McKee were the top two men on the batting average chart, Dave holding a slight edge. Dean Tyner and Don Pete Brookins made a very good pitcher-catcher combination, in spite of Pete’s shortness. The infield, composed of Kenny Miller, Dave Hodge, Carl Holl, and Scott Schmedel was nearly impenetrable. The ones that did, however, get through the infield were soon brought to a halt by Art Garrison, Dick McKee, or Leon Kindy. The Heckman Bindery —Bound to Please Pjrc Twenty-seven
