Baseball ers Produce Un expected Record The Patriot baseball team of i965 started the season, weak- ened by graduation losses and the loss of several ineligible starting infielders. They won 8 however while losing 9. An 8-9 record does not show the talent and accom- plishments of this team. They were the first high school team ever to defeat the Virginia Poly- technic lnstitute's freshman team. Several members of the team distinguished themselves. Pitcher David Reid posted a 5 won 2 lost record while compiling a low l.32 earned run average. Jim Altis batted at a .317 pace and was voted the team's Most Valuable Player. Seniors Tim Smith and John King batted 333, and .3l l, respectively. Junior catcher David Ward and sophomore catcher Phil Bushkar did a fine job defensively for the Patriots and Bob Bushkar helped Reid on the mound. Fresh- men Bruce Mann and Bob Blane promise to be a help to the team for three more years. Ten return- ing lettermen give the Patriots bright hopes in the years to come. ,n ,F f ., ,M-. .xii Charlie Denny cracks a base hit against Jefferson's Magicians Jimmy Altus grins and fields the ball from his third base position before the Andrew Lewis game which the Patriots later won l6-2.

The Patriot golfers of l965 have not one, but three boys who have shot sub-par scholastic competi- tion rounds. Billy Nash shot a three under par, 68, on two dif- ferent occasions. Bob l-ludgins and Richard Shepherd shot 68 and 69 respectively. The Patriots, always strong in golf, looked even more powerful than usual this year, losing only three matches of eleven. ln an outstanding 23V2 - SV2 victory over Jefferson, two Patriot golfers scored in the sixties and the other four all toured the course in fewer than 77 strokes. Next year's team will miss the ability of seniors Jim Forrest, Gene Taylor, Richard Shepherd, a sand trap. and Bob l-ludgins, geairff'-Wm is L T fe s W' vs will Qin
