Phil Parsons doubles off the center Held wall. With a football player's strength and an outfield- er's nonchalance, R. J. Williams strolls up to the plate. He steps into the batter's box, takes a few practice swings and calmly awaits the pitch. The pitcher winds up and delivers. Once again, R.J. connects. As he casually trots around the bases, the ball sails over the ditch for another home run. R. J. hit eight home runs in the first ten games of the season. Scouts from the San Francisco Giants and the Houston Astros expressed an interest in R.J.'s baseball talents. He has been approached to play football for the U of W, WSU and all but one of the colleges in the state of Washington. Outfielder Williams led the return of eight of last year's regulars: Don Gonzales, Dan Leber, Phil Parsons, Jerry Berges, Bill Thomas, Chuck Joines and Mike Jones. Third year letterman and batting champ R.J. led the '66 squad to second place in the KingCo League. R. J., Kummer, Berges, Bever, and Hiles warm up before a game. Bob LaCount makes the putout. Last year's junior varsity contributed Bob La- Count, Gil Hiles, Greg Kummer and Ray Pace. Bradd Bever came on as a double threat both at the plate and on the mound. Sophomore Tommy .lull rounded the varsity roster. Managers were Vance Woodard and Greg Bafus. In their drive for the league championship, coach Ed Romeo's nine won all but one of their league games. The lone defeat came against the Lake Washington Kangaroos. The Totems won a total of fourteen games, losing only two against high schools. They suffered two setbacks in a double header with the U of W frosh team. Outstanding pitching came from Joines, Pace, Bever and Thomas. Parsons, Bever, Williams, Hiles, Leber and LaCount all hit well over .320 making the team batting average about .300. R.J. Williams, hitting over .500, supplied most of the RBI's and home runs. 9
