Working in close cooperation the athletic committee and the ath- letic director have built an impres- sive athletic program at Florence State. Starting in 1949 they have combined to make Florence a foot- ball power among small colleges of the south. They have constantly bettered the basketball and base- ball programs. This year they have inaugurated intercollegiate swim- ming at the college. It is significant that they have accomplished these programs without undue emphasis being placed on athletics and with- out damage being done to the aca- demic life of the college.

Under the direction of Coach George Weeks, the Florence State baseball team enjoyed a very good season. Playing a tough schedule the team gave a good account of itself, having lost only four games. Instrumental in their fine season was the work of H Melton and Coach Calich. These two pitchers gave Florence a very dependable mound corps. Larry Gram, the superlative short stop and Wendell Tay- lor, supplied most of the power hitting. Brewer was an excellent receiver while Bill Farris and Lucy Hunt were outstanding in their fielding chores. John Bos- tick handled the hot corner effectively and Bill Harbin nailed down the right field spot. Ray Arm- strong doubled between the outfield and the pitch- ing mound. t.LOKC.I ( AI.ICH H MK1.TON Bill Farris scores ELBERT DEASON LUCY HUNT I BILL HARBIN BROWN MITCHELL KEN SHEFFER PAUL DYER WENDELL TAYLOR FRED SHAVER RAY ARMSTRONG lARm (.RAM JOE HREWER |OHN BOSTICK For the first time in the history of Florence State, a swimming team is now a part of our Athletic sys- tem.
