Friday, March 24. |96| Baseball Squall S by Dave Buck Eight returning lettermen and several promising sophomores form ii strong nucleus for Coach John Pfitsch’s 1961 baseball club. Last year the Pioneers finished second in the Southern League of the Midwat Conference with a 4—4 record and sported a 5-8 season mark, but coach Pfitsch looks for improvement this spring. “We should be a little better this year," Pfitsch says. “We have several promising sophomores around in addition to a pretty good pitching staff and a few good hitters." The Midwest Conference is di- vided into a Northern League and a Southern League, of which Grinnell is a part, to compensate for an approximate two week head start in outdoor practicing for the four southern teams. In the Southern League along with Crinnell are Cornell, Coe, Moh- mouth and Knox. Grinnell finished second in the southern division last spring behind perennial power Coe, llul: baseball players are an op~ timistic lot, and there is lots of talk about Crinnell winning its first league championship since baseball was reinstated at Grinnell in 1957. With the first game two and a half weeks away, and since the squad has been unable to work outside, lineups are very indefin- ite. At the present time it.looks like the infield will have Jim ‘Linksmen To Meel Knox On April 8 With the first golf meet seliede uled for April 3 at Knox, l3 golfers have reported to Coach Larry Crawford. Due to the weather situation the team has been hitting balls inside, mov— ing outside whenever possible. According to preeseason pre— dictions, Grinnell ranks among the top three teams in the Con- ference, with Carleton, the de- fending champion, and Knox. Grinnell was undefeated in Con- ,ference dual meets last year and finished second in the Confer- ence meet. Fonr lettermen will lead the linksters this year. They are Steve Brodt, Jon Groteluschen. Lowell Hockett and Bill Me— Knight, Rick Fuller, Dave Pal- mer, Bob Halonen, Jim Soble, Tony Gray, Chuck Kriel, Steve Stults, Jerry Cozad and Craig McManus round out the golf roster. These members should push the lettermen in their fight for berths on the team. with a possibility of several moving the lettermen out or their top posi- tions. Golf Schedule.

The outfield should be consi- derably better than last year’s threesome with added speed and hitting power. Returning Out-l fielders include Dick Mittelbush. er and Ron Ochsner, but they will be hard pressed by three outstanding sophs, slugger Bruce Bell, and speedsters Howard Bunton and Jack Freter. The pitching start will prove to be the strong point of the squad with three promising hurlcis, rack Meyer was last year‘s leading pitcher with a +2 record and a line L66 earn- cd-run average. Behind Meyer on the mound will be Mittelbusher and 001157 ner. Roger Miller will probably see most of the catching duty, but Chris Sprung could fill in ]behind the plate if needed. The season opener for Grinnell will be Tuesday afternoon, April 11. at 3:30 here in Grinncll with Simpson College. These two clubs did not meet in 1960.
