THE IUNCO-ED 1927 THE BASEBALL TEAM The baseball team under the coaching of Dr. Charles Johns has made a fine showing this year. Roy Sogaard- Pitcher. About sixty percent of the team is Roy Sogaard. Roy started his pitching career at the grade school and has pitched every year since. Eugene High and Cottage Grove High are among the many teams which Sogaard has beaten. ' William Blackwell. Third base, first base and Catcher. Bill is at the receiving end this year after a long and varied career in baseball. When in grade school he caught for Chick Lee, then pitching high school ball. Upon arriving at High School he played. third base, then first base and now is throwing runners out at second base. Gordon iWatrous. First base. Gordon is the hard hitting, sure fielding recruit from Benson Tech. This is the first year for Gordon, but he plays like a vet Sam Mitchell, Second base. Mitchell got his chance last year when he played for Lauritzen at third base after Ben had his knee hurt. Like the story book, Mitch was so good that he landed a regular position. He is the most dependable infielder on the team. Ben Lauritzen. Third base. Ben is a two year man and has the fastest whip of any man on the team. He is a good fielder and a fine baseman. Bruce Young. Shortstop. After many experiments Bruce was selecteo to play shortstop. Bruce plays fine ball at this position and his batting is the grief of many opposing pitchers. Vardell Nelson. Right fielder. Altho Nelson is a notoriously poor batter, his speed in the field kept a place for him on the team. It is very unusual to see Nelson thrown -out stealing a base. This is Nelson's fourth and last year in High School ball. Noel Dann. Left field. Dann is a hard hitting, sure fielder and has bolstered the batting strength of Junction considerably. Wallis Smith and Edward Ruder are alternate center fielders, Smith having three more years to play while Ruder graduates this year. Wallace Ayers is the excellent utility man who can catch, play out- field. infield and pinch hit with considerable skill. Harry Phillips spent most of his time practicing as a relief pitch or so didn't get to play in many games. He will by next year be a great help in the box. 25
