E210 '50 VARSITY sQuAn AROUND THE DIAMOND The advent of spring brought back the crack of the bat and the thud of the ball against leather for seventy-five candi- dates. ln a short time, this number was reduced to twenty- two players, who, due to their ability, were chosen to repre- sent the Eagle nine against varsity competition from other high schools throughout the District and its vicinity. The eight returning letter- men formed the backbone of the squad augmented by the candidates with proven talent for baseball. The brunt of Cionzaga's attack was borne by pitchers Scott Cranston and Jim Spelman, catchers, Tom Flint and Tom Deveau, infield- ers, Pat O'Neill, Joe Hogan, Owen Beatty and Jack Glenn, outfielders, Ken Atchison, Jim C-ardiner, Norm Brown and Jack Callaghan. Important games slated for the season included tilts with Roosevelt, Tech, George Wash- ington, Coolidge, St. Anthony, Bethesda, Ana c o s t i a and Georgetown Prep. ' I Third Row: J. Gardiner, J.

TENNIS SQUAD V -v-- ,..f.-.cw...s-vm - uso- Top Row: N. Vandoren, R. McGrath, R. Flynn, Mr. Smardon, S.J., P. Hein, J. Corbley, T. McGuire. Bottom Row: T. Buckley, J. Yetter, W, McGuire, J. Kennedy, J. Burke. TENNIS This popular spring sport has once more been restored to the Eagle's athletic program as a major activity. With four veterans from last season as a foundation, Mr. George Smardon, S.J., serving in the capacity of coach, tackled the Gonzaga High tennis schedule for l945. When the first call for candidates was issued, about thirty'enthusiastic hopefuls promptly responded. Under the very able assistance of Mr. Smardon, a most representative squad was rounded out. The Purple have four monogram winners, namely, Bill McGuire, Jack Yetter, Tony Cook and Jim Kennedy. The Purple netmen have a full schedule featuring matches with such vaunted foes as Friends, St. John's, Tech, Georgetown Prep, and Western. Against this formidable opposition Mr. Smardon will rely on the stellar net prowess of Billy and Terry McGuire, Yetter, Cook, Kennedy, Vandoren, Burke, McGrath, and Buckley. With these top-flight raqueteers as the nucleus of the squad, the Gonzaga courtmen, with a reasonable amount of breaks. should expect a successful season. 5 . M QQ, N' 1 I J -Q ixx
