SECOND ROW: Coach james, Varsity Baseball required great teamwork Helping the pitcher warm up for a big garlic with Dwight D. Eisenhower High School, the varsity catcher. jerry Kot. kept his eyes on the ball. Although hampered by injury and tnexperience, the varsity baseball team proved to be a much better team than anyone had expected and much better than the two-wins-and-eleven-losses record would indicate. This was the kind of team that could face defeat and play their very best baseball in spite of it. There were many times when the team was down by only one or two mns and would fight undaunted to the very last inning in an unsuccessful bid to pull out the victory. These boys loved the game of baseball, and they also had the right coach, Mr. james, to teach them to play a tough game like good sports. Our ath- letes had the will to win and left no doubt about it in the minds of their opponents. They really earned the respect of the South Suburban League. Team strategy was discussed by Coach james and Mr. Gutches, Director of Athletics.
