“Fighters is the only appropriate name for the Cubs in baseball. Though they had tasted bitter defeats in former years, the Cubs did not give up. They prospered from their mistakes to come back this year with an experienced, hard-hitting nine. Last year some of the rookies showed promise. Tex Ritter dis¬ played a strong pitching arm, Tony Serewicz hit hard and fielded well, while Dick Hermann, Con Fecher, and Lee Hess played wide-awake ball. These five were joined by Jim Nolan, Doc Spresser, Don Kasperan, and Chuck McDermott to form the nucleus of Coach Dick Scharf’s starting team. Both Nolan and Spresser are ball-hawking outfielders who can also hit. Although only freshmen, Kasperan and McDermott have plenty of talent and may in future years be two of St. Joseph’s finest players. Fifty-seven

The cause of all this unusual interest in the secondary five was their amazing record of fifteen wins without a single defeat. Out¬ standing regulars were John Thie- me, Charles McDermott, Don Mc- Innis, Ronald Doherty, and John Baele. Fifty-six

High School squads found it difficult to penetrate the defense of the Cubs and to compete with their offense. There were also many hard-working substitutes always ready to back up the first team when called upon. As Twin Towers goes to press, the Cubs have won their opening game against Brook by the decisive score of 12-1. The feature of the game was Tony Serewicz’s home run. :■ mms m jail % t sspfkSfe , v. mmsi m y m ■ m B ii i - i m pK ■ ■■ I v ' ?- JRi . lligtll ■ . sissi w v »« I - ms Vt ' fmm m Vv- Vi® •: mm , - H m i - Ik - 4 IIS mf Kine % i mt ‘ Act • • 4 '
