The Panther l.V. players are obviously learning their skills rapidly. Most league teams are small and many don't even have l.V. teams, however the Panthers have an outstanding j.V. squad as wit- nessed by the league opening win against Nordoff 21-2. Perry Cowan, Duane Pickett, Bob Collins and Steve DuPuis were the outstanding j.V. team mem- bers which lead the team to victory. Again this year the Panthers have fielded a strong, hard swimming Frosh!Soph water polo team. With many outstanding victories going into league play, the Frosh!Soph Panthers were the team to beat. Matt Hayes, jack Mantor, Bill Stamos, Scott Rhodes and Eric Simmons were the outstanding players of the season. 1 Eric Simmons throws the ball to a waiting teammate during the Frosh!Soph match against Nordoff.
