After experiencing a highly successful Season on the hardwood, Coach 'cDoc Jacobs sent out the call to returning veterans of the diamond wars and hopeful rookies to begin loosening up drills in preparation for a seven game schedule. Veterans returning included six seniors who would be wearing the Purple and Gold colors for the last time. They were: Russ Cangi, third base- man, Frank Keane, first sackerg Ray Garland and Steve O,Brien, Outfieldersg Tom Sorrell, ace lefthanderg and catcher, Paul Palmer. Although the schedule was marred by rain and temporary postponements, the Varsity squad man- aged to hang up a four won, three lost record, one of the best records that a Knight team has compiled in recent years. In the first game of the season, the host UVM Panthers nipped our Hilltop squad 9-6. It was a case of not enough practice and first game jit- ters that told the tale, despite the outstanding performance of southpaw Sorrell. In the second game the Michaelmen got off on the right foot, as they walloped the Panthers of Middlebury 17-9, behind the fine nine hit effort of Paul Murphy. Paul Palmer's tremendous home run highlighted the game. On the right track now, the Knights swept through a double header with Norwich 6-1 and 1-0, as Tom Sorrell and Paul Ripchick picked up their first collegiate victories.
