I With a veteran coach and a few men Coach Long had a pretty tough schedule. The team participated in a most successful season this year. Coach Long fielded a well-bal- anced team which featured ex- cellent pitching, good fielding, and fair hitting that improved greatly as the season progress- ed. As a whole the Cubs dis- played tremendous enthusiasm and, under good tutelage, play- ed a much better brand of ball at the conclusion of the season than they did at the first. The Cubs team largely was composed of freshmen, sopho- mores that all whom hope to re- turn next year. Good luck to a good team and Coach. Although yearbook printing deadlines did not allow a re- porting of the final league standings, at this writing the Cubs were definite contenders for the league title champion- ship with no defeats in league play.

Spring when a young man's fancy turns-to baseball. Such was the case at Central High this season. Varsity Coach Marty Kaufman was handed the headache of sorting out the good from the bad a few days before the first practice game. The Grizzlies had four pitchers back from last year, Marve Carey, Jim Magarian, Doug Atwood and Don Bonillas. All are very good chuckers. Carey and Bonillas are Juniors that will be with us next year. All though Central didn't win the title they put up a good fight before losing six games. Only four of the first string will be leaving. The outfield is in the hands of Joe Amaro, Charles Craig, and Jerry Olguin. The infield fea- tures Ralph Salazar, Bill Jacinto and Charles Aragon. Alex Montanez and Jim Webb both running men share the catchers spot and third base. A few of the other eager hopefuls that have been looking good in early season play are Dick Price and Bob Simonian.
