Fielding, l-litting, And Pitching Pitching, batting and fielding are talents the boys on the baseball team possess, but kept hidden until Coach Richard Taka- moto uncovered them. Sluggers Carl Kawauchi, Richard Tani- mura, Dennis Irie, and Joe Kawamura pounded the opposition with many base hits, while veteran Lloyd Sueda, Ken Imada, and Gary Fujimoto kept their scores down. This year no seniors participated, mak- ing it possible for the team to place in the actual standings of the league. Although the team didn't come close to winning the championship, the boys showed real major league qualities. The Rainbows placed high in such values as team work, hustle, and determination to play baseball. They didn't win all the games but they gained valuable experience playing for University High School.
