Sports cope
Iiaybe Bailey's baseball
team didn't get into the
series play-off this sea
son, but at least they can
say they defeated Rock
Ridge twice vjithout too
much trouble. In years
past Rock Ridge was a head
ache to Bailey but not to
those boys this season.
In all probability
Coopers will likely be the
Southern District winners.
This is a mere guess, mind
you; the unexpected could
happen.
Count For Season
Bailey's wins and losses
thus far for the season
stand at the count of I4.
wins against 5 losses. At
least one more game is
scheduled before the sea
son ends—^with Micro there,

are sorry you broke your
finger, but I suppose be
ing sorry doesn't help a
bit. Maybe that gave us
all a fair warning •about
the "Dangerous Slugs"
Newton Glover hits.
Well, sports fans, this
issue ends another sports
round-up for the school
season. I have thoroughly
enjoyed being able to
write this colwiin for you
these past two years. I
only hope your sports edi
tor next year will take as
much interest in it as you
demand for better reading.
Thanks for sticking me
out these two years.

Coach Westall Reviews
test Baseball Season
In an interview with
Coach Westall, a conslus-
ion was reached deciding
why Eailey had such a poor
baseball season this year.
The reason was attributed
to these facts—lack of
practice time, no well-
developed pitchers, and
the boys' inabilities to
hit.
Practice Time
The thirty-minute . home
room period for the pur
pose of the ball players
to practice is not enough
tiriie, declares Coach West-
all. Ke said if the play
ers could remain after
school for practice possi
bly more could be accom
plished, but most of them
live on farms and have to
go home to work,thus"kill-
ing" that idea.
Pitchers
"Our pitching problem is
quite a major one," states
Westall, No pitcher can be
made overnight. Before he
can throw a hard, fast
ball, or even a curve he
must have a strong arm,
lots of practice, and be
able to controll the ball,
he stressed.
Better Batting
"Why the boys can't hit
any better than they do is
rather a puzzlement to me,"
says the coach, "It may be
the fact they don't keep
their eye on the ball when
up at bat during the reg
ular practice or our pitch
ers are unable to throw’
the different pitches they
are likely to encounter
when up against other
tearfts' pitchers.
"Before the players can
ever hope to have a suc
cessful season they must
