So this is baseball ? ? ? With our second year of organized base- ball beginning at North Allegheny, we are looking forward to a winning season with great hopes. With the enthusiasm of the student body for baseball, evident at all the games last year, we are sure will be repeated two- fold. lf the baseball team follows the example of the football and basketball teams, they will show great improvement this year. We are anticipating fine catching by Bob Hannan and Bill Wappler. Roger Hummel and Dick Goode should put on a good show on the mound. Jack Chotta, the versatile one, will double as Hummel on the mound. Tinkers to Evers to Chance. pitcher and infielder. Jim Beilstein, we expect, will repeat his fine plays on first. We are looking forward to seeing Bob Beilstein and Dick Royston, our two second basemen, per- form. Jack Lockhart is going to thrill us again with his catches at third. Our reliable short- stop is Joe Ford. Completing the team with their alertness and skill are the outfielders, Harvey Pekich, Jack Schweiger and Chuck Watson. With lots of hard practice and the able direction of Coach Fox, these boys will do a great job. lr

The track team which consists of approxi- mately thirty boys, is coached by Mr. Drazen- ovich assisted by Mr. Davies. A preliminary track meet within the team screens out those boys who will run in the next track meet. These preliminary meets will be held before every inter-scholastic meet. Since all of the boys on last year's team will return this year, the team should do better than last year. Track is more of an individual sport than one that requires mostly team work. The track meets are divided up into two sections, field and track. Low hurdles, high hurdles, one hundred yard dash, two hundred twenty yard run, four hundred forty yard run, eight hun- dred eighty yard run, the mile run and mile relay come under the track events. The events which come under the field section are shotput, discus, iavelin, pole vault and broad iump. Approximately fifty boys went out for the track team this year. They were cut down to normal team size. Since our football and track 'fields were completed last fall, six home track meets have been scheduled.
