In spring drills this year's baseball team showed how anxious it was to win a fifth consecutive N.W.l.L. championship. Led by six returning lettermen, the team show- ed strength at almost every position. Art Covey at shortstop, Rav Smith at second base, and Richie Duffy at third form a tight infield. Newcomer Danny DiPace has proven himself worthy of the starting role at first base. The John lay outfielders sport some fast- running and hard-hitting drive. At the beginning of the season, Ricky Zuccaro, Doug Ritchie, Bobo Mueller, lack O'Brien, Dennis Brooks, Skipper Close, and George Johnson competed for the three positions.
