Friday, March 29, l963 Scarlet By Len Fever Calodney 5813 Sports Editor As a member of tlle Midwest Collegiate Athletic Cons ference, termed the best conference set-up in the country by John A. Pfitsch (Director of Intercollegiate Athletics), Grinnell is in the unique position of offering high perfor- mance on the books and the ballfield. To achieve this end, Grinnell has been able to attract those students who are stand programs have advanced to outs in both areas. Since both gether, Pfitsch feels we are rapidly reaching the point where we can compete favorably with eastern prestige schools What is it then about for this class of student. the Grinnell athletics that makes it so successful? Pfitsch thinks the key lies in the proper emphasis in the program. Many schools gain repu- tations for producing perennial excellence in one sport or another, but in the process giate squads. Not so at Grin neglect their other intercolle- nell where a definite attempt is made to promote all sports equally. Only by sending out representative teams in all competition will we gain the greatest benefit from our at llletics, Pfitsch believes Pfitsch also holds that we can attribute the overwhelm- ing success of our intramural program to the varsity ath- letics. Since those most interested in varsity competition are generally also active in IM‘s, if intercollegiate athletics were dropped, the school would probably lose ‘many of its students with the desire and level. ability to compete on the 1M Begin Spring Sport BASEBALL Grinnell’s varsity baseball team has been readying itself for the upcoming season with a four-week session of indoor and outdoor practices. Coach John Pfitsch, taking over head duties again after a one-year absence, will have to re- place three regulars lost through graduation, in addition to last years leading hitters. , Dale Furnish, Dick Mittel- bushei' and Roger Miller have departed and slugging outfield- ers Bob McIntyre and Thomas A. Wanner are not out for the team. Also missing is Chris Sprung. Furnish was an all- conference selection at second base, Miller was catcher and team captain, and Mittelbusher was the team’s most valuable player as pitcher. Wenner and Mclntyre ranked 1-2 in hitting, both having batting averages well above «ha .300 mark. Sprung was invaluable at third and on the mound. Pfitsch has, however, an out» standing bunch of sophomores to go along with an experienced core of veterans. Captain Art Peterson, first baseman Jim Ienks, outfielder Bruce Bell, pitcher-outfielder Cal Collier and infielder-outfielder Jim Fl 5 h e I' are the returning lettermen. Out- standing among the players up from last season’s undefeated freshman squad are pitchers Denny Hanssen and Barry An- derson and infielder Dick Ulrich. The starting lineup has not been set, but good bets are Jenks at first, Peterson at short, Ulrich at third, with second base being contested among John McDonald, Phil King and Howie Bunton. Joe Thompson, Upton Ethelbah and Bill MCKlveen are also well up in lhe race for an infield berth. Collier, when not pitching, along with Bell, Fisher, Vern Robinson and Randy Morgan, will form the nucleus of the outfield. Don MCWethy and Wayne Gano will handle the catching duties. Hanssen, Anderson and Collier form an outstanding, al- though shallow, pitching staff. Other players include Mel Chilewich, Masakatso Kate and Bob Glass. TENNIS By J. Eric Jacobson s a n Stafi Writer WiLh an eye toward improv- ing last years 5-5 record, 11 varsity tennis players have been working out under coach Edd Bowers. , ”A better team in a better league” is Bowers’ evaluation of Grinnell’s position this year. Ripon, Carleton and Lawrence are expected to be the Pioneers’ toughest opponems with Knox a league dark horse. Even zhough only two regulars are returning, Grinnell appears to be improved from last year. lThe two returnees are Bob Eramson and Jim Smith who played number one singles last season. An addition who will bolster the squad is Guy Ashton. As a sophmore, Ashton won the con- ference number one singles tournament and was on the win- ‘ning number one doubles team. die is now back as a senior after spending last year in Puer- to Rico. Bowers plans to play Ashton and Smith in the one and two positions. Bramson, Ken Clymer, Bob Hewes, Larry Shannon and John Schwartz will be fighting it out for the lower three spots. Doubles teams have not been composed as yet. Other team members are Jim Adelman, Chlp Clark, Ed Hill and Dick Metzlei‘, The team began practices in SALES . REPAIR .

Last Saturday in s. nine team meet, the Pioneers finished sec- ond to SCT, scoring 54 points. while the Panthers collected 80. This is not exactly indicative of the respective team strengths, however, since the team balance of the Pioneers is a greater fac- tor in a dual meet. At SCI, the Pioneers were first in the sprint medley, with the relay team composed of Fred Berg, Tom DeBei-g, John Edgren and Jeri Lang- ham. The 24.1ap relay team, consisting of Paul Patterson, Pete Kmnz, Bruce Beckord and Jeri Langham, and the War/(outs started working Outdoor week. GOLF With Coach Larry Crawford's return to Grinnell after com- petlng in several tournaments on the pro tour, official golf practice will begin soon. The unseasonably warm weal» ther has given the team a chance to get away from the practice tee in the gym to the country club course. Several good sophomores make the outlook for the team bright. These include Dave Sellergren, Pete Klein, Rick Miller, Mike Miller, and Dick Orr, the top five from last year's undefeated frosh squad. Only two returning lettermen, Russ Hardin and Rick Fuller, are back lo fonn this year’s nu- cleus. other upperclassmenback. ing them up are Gary Fisher, Dave Eaetz, George Forrest, Paul Nelson, and Jerry Cozad. The linksmen will have to gel. ready quickly for their first meet April against iowa State here. 3, the gym early in March and this 12.1cp team, made up of Lang- hm, Edgren, Beckord, and Berg both finished second. Outstanding in the individual evenls were Kent Rogerson, who was second in the high jump and matched the wlnnlng leap but lost out on the number of misses and Gene Kowert, who finished fourth in the shot put with a throw which exceeded his previous best by two feet; and Bob Hal-rill, who finished third in the broad jump. While the varsity was com- ] excellent paling at sex, the freshman lock part in the AAU meet in Des Moines. Coach Young com. mended four freshman for their performances. Jim Miller, who finished second in the shot, threw it 48’ 61/2", which is better than the Grin- nell varsity record and only 3" short of the conference varsity record. The only other freshman to place was John Tepaske, whose 52.3 time for the quarler was good for fourth place. Baseball April Ill—Central, away. April is—Simpson, home. April 2043ornell (2), home.
