In Early Season Diamond Play 9 i my Jon Davis Mike Melton TOYT1 Turner lnfielder Pitcher lnfleldef Jim Helmer Stan Sowc Bvb Bolderson Outfielder Pitcher Outfielder Under the excellent leadership of Coach Bob Ross, the Varsity had started fast winning their first eight including three league encounters. Up To the time of printing, strong hitting was making up for hot-cold pitching and shaky defense. However, improvement was being seen, in later games which gave hope that pros- pect of a big year in baseball was coming about. Early pitching had been done by Mike Melton, Dennis Lightner, and Stan Sowa. Melton and Lightner turned in excellent performances while Sowa, out from basketball late, was iust showing signs of coming around to form at the start of league play. 20 7
