Baseball As the signs of spring appear, McBurney's baseball team is looking forward to a great season. Under the tutelage of Coach Edson Scudder everyone is expecting the team to have one of the finest records in McBurney history. The team has many veterans returning this year which explains the optimism. lnfielders Ted Simon, Doug McCartney, Ken Fielder, and Ted Daniels, outfielders Will Caterson, Dave Mills, and lohn Sloss, and pitcher Fred Pivko are returning this year. They will be bolstered by newcomers Rod Nash, lohn McGovern, Tony This move, if successful, will ease the need for moundsmen and enable Ken Fielder to lee the third pitcher. Student Manager of athletics, Bo Lum Lee, has entered McBurney in the M.A.A.P.S. base- ball league. McBurney's schedule this year is: April l3 Collegiate home Price and Owen Gavigan, April Locust Valley home Two problems face Mr. Scudder this year. April Columbia Grammar home One is finding a catcher and the other is find- Apfil Fieldston GWCIY ing two pitchers to help Fred Pivko carry the April Woodmere ACC1d9fUY home load. The candidates for catcher are Ken Field- MOIY Bgmgrd CIWUY er, Ftod Nash, and lohn McGovern. Best bet for MOIY Kew FOTGST YIOTUG the job seems Ken Fielder with the others not MCIY RhOCl9S hOm9 far behind.
