.gn fke .Spring A Pick Ye. Off qf H ctice shaxPe 9 me e rs' base. A time batting W The call to Play Ball was answered with a spirited response by the baseball-minded students at Gonzaga. The field at Bennings echoed the crack of the bat and the thud of the well pitched ball as spring training got under way. After two weeks of intensive practice a squad of twenty was chosen to represent Gonzaga on the diamond. From this group of capable players, Coach Ioe Kozilc selected a start- ing nine which met and overcame the best teams in the district throughout the nineteen game schedule. Behind the masterful pitching of Gil Lansdale, who holds the District High School strike-out record, the team fielded and batted in winning style. Brilmyer and Carroll also performed capably on the mound. Atkinson, Zanger, Glenn, Hogan and O'Leary made up the steady infield, while Beatty, Tancredi, Crans- ton, Breads, and Gerhardt proved to be stellar gardeners. Front row. L.-R.-R. P. Gibbons, F.

We make this statement only after careful study of the record ot the Freshman Quint. They played 31 games and lost but three of them. They tallied 1250 points to their opponents' 578. Such imposing facts are a tribute to the ability of the coach, Fr. Herlihy, Sl., and to the serious endeavor and increasing skill of the youngest members of the school who have made such astounding progress. Teamwork was the key to their success. But Bernard Lovins, Pat O'Neill, the Daly brothers, Richard and Philg Hitzelberger, Atkinson, and Poly should be singled out for special mention. Taking care of the rebou d n s.

For two weeks, the gym was packed with a howling, cheering crowd of devotees of Fistiana, watching their friends and classmates give and take the leather in ring-wise style.
