Pink lmps Row lslfayne Shebloslfy lmanagerl, Donald South, Floyd Bentley, Tom Rux, Bob Brooks, Milt Dabagia. Row 2- Bill Leach, Ken Volts, Mike Storen, Len Kazmucha, Bert Waterhouse, Mr. Adams ffioachl. Row 3-Bill Karm, John Brooks, Norman Vaughn, Bob Ranrlhan, Allan Lazarus, Jack Wilson. The HB team or the Junior Red Devils showed a great deal of promise. Doug Adams did a swell job. and his team lost only a couple of games this year. Our Pink lmps beat the La Porte junior varsity by a wide margin, and so the Devils of the future should certainly be able to hold their own against the Slicers. Don South. Bob Brooks. Tom Rux. Bob Randhan, and Ed Werner are all promis- ing. Group these with underclassmen Burrell. Delaney, Penfold, Gondek, Schreiber, Donaldson, Korn. and Waldo. and you have the makings of a conference championship team in 1951. The fellows we haven't mentioned, but who played Pink Imp ball, needn't feel bad, for in our estimation. the lmps had a fine team for a junior varsity.

The Bed Devils defeated all other conference foes and finished the season with seven victories and five defeats. Alan Spicer's pitching and ,loe Tanski's hitting led the Michigan City drive. Spicer struck out 38 men while walking only 7, and Tanski got on base 16 times by base hits or walks. Fine fielding by Leon Kosakowski. Bob Szot. Fritz Sperling. and Spicer meant a great deal in putting the team into a second place tie. Other standouts on the team were Benny Witek, Ken Schreiber, Bill Steinborn, John Foss, and Marv Pozdol. who was named captain for the next season. SCORES Michigan City .......,, ,,,,,, 2 S. B.
