BASEBALL FIRST TEAM BASEBALL HE breaks for Thacher varsity baseball all seemed to go the wrong way this year as the team ended with a two-win, nine-loss record. Al- though this may seem a disappointing percentage, the squad played some fine baseball and had an enjoyable season. The first game was probably the worst, as the team lost to Nordhoff 17-3 due largely to inexperience on the mound. On March 20 the squad travelled to Moorpark to receive a S-2 beating. Although victory was within reach, the hits failed to come when needed most. The Thacher nine returned from Spring vacation only to face powerful, league-winning Villanova. Hits by Mayne and Helmholz started the game well, giving us a 4-1 second-inning lead. The Wildcats, however, came back in the third with nine runs to clinch the game. The next day the squad went to Claremont for a non-league game with Webb. The Gauls started by earning an early four-run lead, but Thacher soon warmed up and tied the game in the top of the sixth. Webb snatched the game in the lower half of the sixth with three singles and a double, driving in four more runs.
