Paced by hurlers Jim Burch and Dick England, the Rams posted a good overall won-lost record, and were a constant factor in the title race. Bob Shelton, Dave Boggs, Bob Griffin, Bob Douglas, and Rick Cusick supplied most of the batting punch during the season, and were responsible for such lop- sided score, as the opening day triumph over Surrattes- ville, 20-2. Tony Lagana, Bill Jones, Bill Lectka, Tommy Jen- kins, Ed Buenzli, and Bobby Cook also figured in Coach Hudsonis plans. Cook, Buenzli, Lectka, Jenkins, and Douglas will return next year, but it is doubtful if they fill the gap left by the eight departing lettermen.
