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.

The victories included Wins over such tough opponents as Occidental, Whittier, and Pomona. Prospects look good for next year as only one member of the team, Charlie Field, graduates this Iune. Many thinks to Coach Crawford and his boys for giving the Highlanders one of its few winning athletics teams. Coach Waiyine Crawford, man of a thousand sports jackets, looks up for a moment from tallying all the High Page 93
