BASE BALL The first day of school we started baseball practice with a new coach and principal. Mr. Brown first helped us deter- mine positions we were best suited for. Our first basemen and catcher had graduated last year, meaning complete new replace- ment in those positions. We all took a day off and worked hard at remodeling our diamond, turning home plate towards the Northwest, giving us a longer left field. Highlighting our season was a victory over our traditional opponent, Deer Creek, by a score of 7-6. Highest bat- ting averages were made by Wes Knapp with.363 and Don Kamp with 353. Fall games played and results are as follows: Danvers ---- 22 Goodfield-6 Low Point --- 8 Goodfield-9 Deer Creek --'7 Goodfield-8 Carlock ---- 3 Goodfield-9 Danvers ---- 6 Goodfield-2 Deer Creek -24 Goodfield-4 Low Point --- 5 Goodfield-2 We are looking forward to spring baseball. It is antici- pated that our spring season will be a successful one. A ten game schedule will be played with five games at home and five away. Both defensive play and batting power are expected to improve with each game. The spring schedule consists of home games with Ben Funk, Danvers, Deer Creek, Low Point, and Carlock.
