Coach Hanley Hank Slagle has an excellent squad which includes eleven returning lettermen. Among these are Catcher Bob Murray, an infield composed of Captain Lee Carey, Captain, Third Base v , , ' ' L J 2 is ge 5 ipiiip k , A t gnu, 11- f f My V, , ,Wa at fi ,, 4 -' , ta ,I o' - 1 ff ' :V i YN W - ' ,swf ' ,. ',,-7 ' N 1 - S ' Carey, batting in the cleanup spot, at third base, Shortstop Bob Acosta, Chet Vasey at the keystone sack, and Nils Johansson alternating with Roy Robison on first, and the outfield of Dale Edwards in left, Bill Hassey in center, and Cliff Myrick, right field. All but Vasey and Robison are seniors. Myrick, a left-handed hitter and the only starter who is not a returning letterman, is the squad's leading batter, slugging the pill at better than a .500 clip. Hassey is an ex- cellent Helder, possessing one of the most ac- curate throwing arms in the state, while Acosta, Carey, and Vasey form an air-tight infield. Hassey and Carey are both playing their third season as Badger regulars. Supposedly weak in the pitching depart- ment, Tucson has displayed four of the best hurdlers in the state: Eddie Jacome, Tommy 108
