THIRD ROW: Assistant Coach Bob Beedle Don Partridge Gnrdan Gray Rod Moore Ron Paul Bob Holton, Sam Klopstock Louis Ramke Mr Prather CK The Green and White lightweight cindermen, with no returning veterans to lead them, lost their first four practice meets, although with each meet the times and distances improved and the team scored more points. Bob Holton, 3303 Robert Yim, sprintsg John Cloney, l320g Dave Latini, pole vault, and Co- captains Arnold Beaulieu, hurdles, and Rod Moore, field and distance, all look promising and capable of placing in the league. The '4B's were hurt when sprinter Dave Wil- liams and distance and field man Ernest Godbe were lost to the varsity when they missed the weigh-in. The C,s,,' following their big brothers' exam- ple, also lost their first four practice meets, but with sprinters Ben Anixter and Steve Sousa, and the all-around performances of Dave Marshall, may have success awaiting them. Moore clears bar, but just barely. Rosenhahn goes over hurdle as other trackmen watch. '

The varsity baseball team started slowly this year, but improved steadily. Al- though the team lost twelve of its first fifteen games, coach George Corson said that the horsehiders would probably end the season with a fifty-iifty record for lfifiglle CI1COl1IltCI'S. At the end of the practice season, Frank DeSousa was the leading hitter with a .400 average. He was closely followed by Earl Ramponi and Milton Hain.
