Second row: John Allen, Gene Moore, Jack Arthur, Richard Fouts, Wayne Martin, Lyndal Wilson, Bob Bell. The Eagles were very successful in their 1947 baseball season as they were rated second in the Howard County Conference, with Greentown holding first place. We lost our first game to Greentown by one point and nearly made it as we pushed a four-run rally in the final inning of the game. The rest of the season we had smooth sailing, but we had to put on some hard last-minute drives to get the winning runs. After our first and only loss we presented the fans and coach with seven consecutive vic- tories.

SECOND TEAM Front row: Bill Young, Student Managerg Gerald Waldron, David Mason, Frank Wilson, Robert Lawson, Benny Clingenpeel, Elmer Byers. Second row: Ivan Skiles, Archie Robertson, Rudolph Schroeter, Richard Fouts, Joe Mason, Danny Waldron, David Price. We were very proud of our Seconds this year as they won 12 out of a possible 16 games. As luck would have it, all four defeats were from teams within the county. But, upon their second meeting with each of the four they came through and really took 'em. After such luck they still held on for a third-place rating in the coun- ty Reserve standings. First place went to Union and Howard Township grabbed second position. Here's hoping they'll make EHS ai tough, future ball-club, and right soon now, too.
