Ace hurler Dave Chamberlain uncorks a fast ball that retires side against Glenwood. Coach Benson's diamond men had a rough time getting started this Spring. Our first game was played here on our field and we dropped it 10-2 to the boys from North Park. The Warriors then travelled to Luther North and were stopped 10-2. The inability to get a good hit when it counted, was the down fall of the Warriors. Our third defeat was handed to us by Luther Walther. lt was Carlson's first loss and the score was 7-4. With three defeats to overcome, the Warriors had their work cut out. Our first victory came at North Shore as veteran Bob Carlson pitched a three hitter. They got their three runs on a two run homer and a single with a man on second. Luther South then invaded us and downed the maroon and white 5-1. Bob Carlson was the losing pitcher as he gave up 6 hits for 5 runs. Chamberlain returned to the hill and blanked West Chicago 5-O on 4 hits well scattered throughout the game. The Warriors collected eight hits. The game with University High was a pitching duel all the way. Carlson hurled a one-hitter to blank U. High. Dave Hanchett scored our lone run, stole second, and scored on a hard shot over short by Carlson. The final score was Wheaton 1, U. High 0. The game with Latin was a real fracas as Wheaton rolled to an easy 15-2 victory. Don Whitey Hultgren cap- tured the win. Dave Chamberlain was the big gun at the plate, getting four hits for four at-bats. The season came to a close with two defeats. Chicago Christian was a hard fought battle with Carlson losing his second game. The score was 7-5 in favor of Christian. Glenwood also gave Wheaton fits as they downed us 5-2. The loss was attributed to errors because we got the same number of hits as Glenwood. Baseball team Dave Hanchett, B.A. 295, Second base Dave Chamberlain, B.A. 413, Shortstop Bob Carlson, B.A. 314, Pitcher - three wins, two losses. J

Co-captains Nanfelt and Munsell admire the first-place Invitational trophy. Our Academy Warriors ended a very successful season by taking second in the P.S.L. Their first victory came in a dual meet with Elgin. Wheaton romped all over the Elgin thin-clads, 82-24. Previous to this victory, they took a second in a quad- rangular meet behind University High. In the third meet of the year our cinder- men racked West Chicago very badly. The final score showed Wheaton with 76W to West Chicago's 41 Vz. Veteran trackman Ron Nanfelt was the big point getter this year. Ron took a first in the low hurdles in the P.S.L. and a second in the quarter-mile. He qualified for the regionals but didn't fare too well due to a leg iniury suffered earlier. In their next meet the Warriors squeoked by a surprisingly strong Glenwood team, 66M to 60V2 in Wheaton's own Invitational. Invitational moo! ls won by J L.. Dashman Gedcle gets in shape for the P.S.L. meet.
