With many players able to perform well in two positions, Coach LaMotte was able to juggle the line of offense and defense, keeping there oppo- nents continuously on their toes. With many com- petitive players who knew what they were doing and how to do it well, the team gained the exper- ience to command respect for the future years. With all things considered.

J.V. Baseball Comes On Strong This year ' s J.V. Baseball team consisted of four- teen well rounded and hard working players. A li i of time and effort was put into practices and games. Their practices were led Coach Vukojevich, and for two to three hours a day, consisted of running, batting and fielding practice. Despite the fact that the team was short on experience, they fought hard and ended the season with a very re- spectable record. Everyone got along well and did their best throughout the whole season, comment- ed Coach Vukojevich, and I felt the team was twice as strong as last year ' s. Over all it was a good season for the Junior Varsity baseball team. The players gained experience, and in the process prepared themselves for varsity play. n n •ieftWrM . »rv hr«.
