COACH REAMS One of the hrst athletic events of the spring, track, commenced with an enthusiasticigroup trying out for the many dif- rent events. i - - t 'J V The large enrollment of the school brought forth a number of fine prospects, some of whom placed the Knights high in Jring points for rating of our district in athletic competition. It is predicted that among them are many outstanding future ack men. W A Although hampered by a lack of returning lettermen, the Napa Knights' track team of 1952 rolled up an eventful sea- n in North Bay League competition. There were only twelve veterans returning, but someof the newcomers reported in fine ape and made excellent showings. Among the top sprinters were Ray Bray, and two first-year men, jimi-.,Wright and Dan roten. In the hurdles there was Bob Carr, who performed veryswell for the B's while Paul Woodworth was outstanding in the division. Howard Marshall was among the top men in. the high jump competition. Edgar Ilsley and John Langenbach, a pair newcomers to the team, placed well at the shotput. Both demonstrated fine ability in putting fortli the eight-pound and elve-pound shot. g - T' iii' M t ' I ' Coach Reams was proud of the appearance of hisfmerg and isehthttsiastic over prospects for the future.

Baseball Coach Ham-ala With a large number of players returning for the '52 baseball season, the Napa Knights had a well experienced tear The season got off to a bad start, the first two games being canceled by rain, but the sky eventually cleared. The Knights had a well seasoned inheld during the 1952 season. Behind the plate for the second year was Duane Hu son. He caught the pitches of Eldon Hosiclc, who replaced Joe Jaeger on the hill, after the latter graduated. Bill Burge returning from last year, took over the initial bag. His double play partner at the keystone sack was Nick Tallent another va sity player back from the ,51 season. Handling the ball at the hot corner was Jim Duff, and Tom Henryjielded the horsehie at shortstop. In the outfield there was a completely different Gelding staff, since all the first string outfielders were lost to the India: through their graduation. Bob Stallings, shortstop on last year's B squad, tool: over in left field. Tony Marquez, last season's center fielder roamed the center field. Burt Paulson, up from the Bees, handled right field chores. ' Other pitchers included Vern Clymo, Al Craig, Jim Miller, and Jackie Martinelli, with Fred Scaruffi as the alterna catcher. Dave Fields and jim Harris substituted at third base, and Larry Bailey played second string shortstop. Ben Adan at Bob Pratt in left field, and Gayland Bickford in center field, completed the second string. In the '51 season, the Knights tied with the Franklin of Vallejo Braves for the Middle Four League championship wi' one loss apiece, each team losing one ame to the other. Howeve r, the Knights were not able to defend their championship, sin the Middle Four had been dissolved By the Stockton teams' inability to travel. V Napa had no B team this year, and as a. result next year there will probably be a lack of players who gained experien while playing for Napa High. This is particularly noteworthy because the entire infield will graduate at the end of the season Coach Hattala, who did such a fine job, as the Napa coach this year, will probably field a fine team next year, in spite 1 the lack of veterans.

On every day that the weather was permissible, the coach had the mermen in the water practicing on their turns, sftolti lciclcs, and the other things that were needed to enable the team to perform properly during the year. The team was coached, as in past seasons by Mr. Klein and Mr. Schlindwein. They were constantly on the job, oelli the boys what they were doing wrong, and showing them how it could be clone correctly. This year there were only a few veterans returning to the team from last year, but there were many promising roolc who tried out for the team. The boys could choose from a list of many events the ones in which they wanted-to swim. In the 50-yard freestyle,.Brt McLean, Adair Chew, and Ron Canepa swam, while Merrit Wmchell, Jerry Smith, and Tompson competed rhejj yard freestyle.
