The 1964-65 wrestling team flnished a tremendous dual- meet season under Coach Bob Williams, compiling a 9-2 win-loss record and taking fourth place in district.

BASEBALL That Grand Old Game A season characterized by exceptionally good weather provided plenty of sunshine for South's young baseball team. Composed mostly of juniors and sophomores, the starting team was faced with inexperience throughout the season but neverthe- less ended with a respectable 8 wins and 7 losses, taking third spot in district behind first place North Eugene and second place Sheldon. The hardballers started out their season by splitting two pre-season games with South Salem. The reg- ular season which followed consisted of three rounds of play, each of which found South facing five other schools: Sheldon, North Eugene, Springfield, Willamette, Thurston. At the end of the first two rounds of play South stood 6 and 4, having bowed twice to both North Eugene and Sheldon. As the third and final series finished, South was 8 and 7, taking games from Willam- ette and Thurston. The Axemen, however, fin- ished rhe year in a climactic post-season victory over arch-rival Sheldon. Coach Bob Kane, who worked diligently developing each individual, summed up the season by saying, We didnit get the hits when we needed themf' VARSITY BASEBALL TEAM, FROM LEFT: Dennis Frantz, Couch Bob Kane, Terry Kane Mike Myers, AI Miller, Dick Pelermann, Fred Wcske.
