Baseball Entering the season with six returning lettermen including two of last year's All-county players, was the T958 varsity base- ball team. Returning lettermen were Anthony Aiello, Richard Zocchi, Frank Cardinale, Pete Roa, Anthony Barraco, and Leon Watkins. Barraco and Watkins were back from among last year's All-county players. When asked in mid March how this year's team shaped up, Coach Knap stated, The team looks pretty good. It we can get a couple of come-through performances by our pitcher candi- dates and not be hit by any more iniuries like those ot Barraco and Roo, we'll be all right. Diablo will be strong, although Las Coach Kmp Lomas will have the team. COGCI1 COUIQY This is Coach Tony Knap's ninth year as baseball coach. ln I952 the Pirates went through an undefeated season to be- come champs. ln i955 the Pirates also won the Shaugnessy Play- olTs, which consisted ot the four top teams of the league.

Coach Macfarlane J i Varsity and B Track Bidding a farewell as Pittsburg high's track coach, Coach Sterling Macfarlane will take over the task of principal of Pittsburg high in the tall of l958. During the tive years he has coached Pittsburg's track teams, the varsity team has won one county championship, has plgced second for three years, and one year placed third. His light-weight teams have for tive straight years won the county championship. Coach Mactarlane's comments at the beginning of the track season were, We are very thin in the A's in numbers. Although we have good individuals, we need a lot of entries to win. The B's could be the strongest team I've ever had here. In the years he has coached here practically all of Pitts- burg's records have been broken. The records still existing in the varsity are these: 440, Wiley McLane Cl949D, 50.7, shot- put, John H. Johnson CI949l, 57' 4V2 , the discus, John H. Johnson H9493 l48' 3 , and the mile, A. Azevedo Cl9303, 4:37.4. The B records not yet broken are the shop-put which stands at 55' 6V2 made by Herk Pardi in 1938 and the I32O made by Al Casillas lI952l, 3:2O.8.
