A lack of. consistent hitting and a handicap of pitchers coming up with sore arms, kept the Beavers from going places. However, the prospect for the future is bright with only two seniors on the squad. Returning lettermen on the squad Were: Ron Nelson, Don Woodward, Nick Chester, Robby Pettit, Dave Pihoades, jerry Turner, Ron Albrecht, Arnie Kainu, and Henry Hoefs. Of these nine, only Nelson, VVoodward, Chester, and Pettit were regulars last year. Others who showed well were Bob Carrico who was one of the LCklITl,S top hitters, Ken Bays, Ron Huddleston, Arnold Lernke, and john Youngman. Chuck F eris, who moved to California at the end of his frosh year and who had earned a letter in baseball that spring, returned to Woodland in time for the Castle Rock game. It is hoped his hitting will give the Beavers sorely needed punch. Nelson and Carrico were the clubs only seniors. 1956 NORTH TRICO BASEBALL SCHEDULE April 13-Longview 3 . ,, .,,,. ,.,. , .

Blauman's runners gave a good account of themselves, but no point gathering in high jump, broad jump or pole vault did the trick. Mervin Brown, ace middle distance man, garnered the only first place ribbon with a work- manlike 880 yard run after just moments earlier taking second in the 100 yard dash. Rich Nehr came in second and Arnie Albrecht third in the 440. Doug Button placed third in the 880 yard run to Brownis first. Bob Hoefs took third and Bob Meize fourth in the mile run. Bill Reese and jerry Slayter placed third and fourth in the low hurdles. Gary Balch picked up a second place ribbon in the shot put, while team mate Bob Carrico came in third in the discus throw. The 880 yard rclay team of Albrecht, Reese, Nehr and Brown came in third to complete the point making for the meet. Total--27W points. Earlier in the season a new Lakeside Relay record for the mile relay was set at 3:41.3 by Brown, Hoefs, Albrecht and Nehr. Lost through graduation are Slayter, Carrico, Hoefs, Albrecht, Balch, Drivcr.
