CHEERLEADERS The Cheer Leaders expanded this year to a squad of nine members, five varsity: Gerry Mayer, Mary DeWitt, Ruth Hegel, Dick Blandau and Jim Smith; and four J. V.'s: Betty Jane Craig, Kay Friedlander, Gus Kubish and Jim Webster. The squad did a fine job in cheering the boys on to victory. The Cheer Leaders will long remember the Millersville game where they received their greatest workout in cheering the boys on—and it really was on to victory.

BASE BAIT Spring was in the air. All of the fellows were talking baseball. One fine afternoon practice really started. There were some very good prospects among the many aspirants. Some were good enough to be assured of a berth, but the majority were hanging on the line. Finally the cut came and a squad of about twenty men remained. The first team, picked from these twenty, was made up as follows. Pete Smick, the captain, was at first base; Harry Nickles started behind the plate; Jim Hicks was at second. Chuck Miller at short, and Bud Farnelli at third, were relieved by Jim Gerhard when necessary. Leadoff batter Dick Smith played right field while Lloyd Smith was in center. Roy Green and Dave Barr splitting the duty in left rounded out the group of regulars. The opening game at Glassboro found Gene Wentling on the mound pitching to a three to three tie in fourteen innings. Subsequent games found Dave Reese, Dave Curtis, and Lloyd Smith doing a fine job of pitching. On the offensive side, Gene Wentling was the big gun. In his last year of play for King’s, he hit at a .556 clip and batted in ten runs to lead the team in both depart- ments. Lloyd Smith led the team in home runs with two and in runs scored with seventeen. As a season total King’s had six wins, four losses, and one tie.
