BASEBALL '62 Coach Carl Bolt in his second season with the Emory base- ball team, gathered in five wins during what was considered a rebuilding year for the Wasps. The overall record was 5-12, while the Smokey Mountain Athletic Conference record was 4-6. The Wasps were led by center fielder-pitcher George Bowman, who won the con- ference batting crown with a .591 average. Jim Hughes and Carlos Allison were behind him with .385 and .363 batting averages respectively. The Wasps scored an average of 6.9 runs per game to their opponent's 8.3 runs per game. This alone indicates that the Blue and Gold were by no means trounced every time they set foot on the diamond. The biggest contributing factor in the way the season ended was in the shortage of pitchers. The 1962 edition of Wasp baseball ended with a hopeful glance toward another campaign. The promising returners made the outlook for 1963 a bright one. They were Jimmy Hughes. Carlos Allison, Curt Campbell, Alvin Crowder. Johnny Moore, Gary Arnold, and Bill Bryant. With a little help from the new students, the first winning season in several years was expected. Loft fo Right: Huqhos, Enqlaman. Manaqor: Arnold, Bryant. Jonas. Sprahor. Campbell, Coach Bo t.

Wanting to forget their 4-8 record during the 1962 campaign, the racket squad looked forward to 1963 hoping to improve their record. The only two of Coach Paul Dele- plain's lettermen returning were Ronnie Via and Bill Jones. Via had a superior 34-5 individual record over three years of play. With a little help from the freshmen, the Wasps should come bock up to the calibre they were when they lost only two of 27 matches the two previous years. The Wasps scored wins over King. East Tennessee State, end Concord (2). They anxiously started practicing as soon as the last snow melted off the courts and stayed in high spirits all during the season. Traveling with the baseball team on several occasions, one of the high spots for the racketeers was the two day trip to Tennessee Wesleyan and Carson- Newman. 1962 SCHEDULE E H 3: Maryville 6 E4H 4; King E4 H 5: Concord 4 EJH 7; Concord 2 E H i: Milligan $ E H 2: E.
