Dick Schoonover watches -bewildered as his shot hooks into a cactus patch. Even so, Dick will burn up the course-next round. The surprise success of UCR's first baseball team can be attributed to the fine team spirit which prevailed throughout the short but exciting two' month season. In three of the lasd five games, the Clan was as much as three runs behind going into the last inning and still won all three games. The season's last victory was the most satisfying as the Highlanders, facing a sixfrun deficit, roared from behind and scored an exciting '7f6 triumph over Pomonaffllaremont, a fitting climax to a successful season of 9 wins and 4 losses. Batting honors went to George Mineah with .423, and the team's batting average was an unbelievable .389. With no graduating seniors and 5 freshmen on the squad, next year's team should be one to watch closely.
