'The first few WPeks of prepara- tinn for a rugged 12 game slate 'will e«nter around physical con- 'litionini; and baseball fundamen tals. This will gradually be mixed with the diamond strat>ev- which pould rjirrv the t^m hisher than th»ir third-place tie held in CIAA ,Pompetition last vear. Coach Tom Caldwell, looking at last year’s performenre ■ as being the best ever, is optimistic at the moment. Other than siuch factors !>s good weather, phsical condition ing, and team spirit, Caldwell hnpes to find replacements for: Matthew Godrtotte, cuptain and centerfielder; Georee Lone, third b.iseman; and Calvin Williams, sceond baseman, lead-off man, and tnir 1>aSe rufihef' who^'escapeff via the graduation route. ‘ The' rpturn of George Craig, Soph., Belmont, the team’s num ber one slugger and Maior League prospeet, gives Elizabeth City hope. Caldwell expects senior Mel Rilev, Newbureh, N. Y„ to assufne Ipadership of the buccaneers. With Joe Hind, Soph., Belmont, Wm. Teel, Greeneville, positioned in spots around the diamond, the Pirates should be a strong con^ tender.
