ATHLETIC NOTES
Though our track team came home with the short
end of the score in the dual track meet with Oregon
State Rooks last Saturday two of our boys not only
won first but set new records for the high schools in
their events. George Meachem , heaved the shot a
distance of 46 feet 3.5 inches. Ernest Brunoe also
shaved a little off the school record.
John Frenier continued to live up to his early season
prediction that he was going to win all his races, by
capturing the half mile. John had to lower the state
high school record to do it and was hard pressed
throughout but a beautiful sprint at the end of a thrill
ing race was to John’s advantage/j He finished in
the excertional time of 2 minutes and 4.4 seconds.
James Oliver grabbed third place in the 220 yard dash.
Last Thursday and Friday our baseball team suffered
defeat at the hands of West Lynn 6 to 3 and then to
Oregon City 9 to 5. Joe Alexander formed the battery
against West Lynn and held them pretty much in
check except during the fourth inning when West
Lynn bunched seven hits and chased in four runs.
Joe struck out ten batters and allowed 15 hits while
Fox for West Lynn is credited with twelve strike-outs
and allowed nine hits.
Al Goudy took the mound for us against Oregon
City and, like Joe, managed very well except for one
bad inning. In the fifth with a two out and a good
advantage over the batter an error occurred and a hit
was made and the^parade around the bases was started.
Oregon City would not be stopped till they had chased
in five runs. Except for those two bad innings our
pitchers worked a fine, heady game. Both are “mix
ing them up” nicely and have developed good con
trol. Against West Lynn Joe Alexander did not allow
one free pass to pass first though he got into some
pretty tight places. Against Oregon City Al Goudy
allowed three walks which is a very good record.
How’ever Al gets himself into hot water pretty often
and finds it difficult to work his wTay out. Roy Mea
cham caught both of these games and did a good job
of both. Roy holds up the pitchers like a veteran
and has the “life” and “chatter” that are such big
assets to good catchers.
Roy is developing a nice,
quick throw to the bases and is a good batter. Because
of his short, stocky build pitchers find him difficult
to pitch to and he usually draws a walk or makes a
hit.
He is our lead-off man.
Philip Corbet should
also develop into a hitter. Philip bats left hand and
takes an effective position at the plate that denotes
nothing but confidence. He played his first game
against Oregon City and just at the right time came
through with a nice clean hit.
He started to catch
this spring but because of his batting will probably be
switched to the outfield. As yet there is much chang
ing about and switching positions in our squad to find
a workable nine. Eldred George and Alonzo Hoover
have been put in every position on the team but they
are now back in their original positions.
Hoover
started in the field then went to first and then caught
a little but he is back at his starting point to bolster
up that department both in hitting and fielding. But
it is likely he will play first when Alexander is pitch
ing. Joe will probably play first when Al Goudy is
taking his turn in the box.
Our line-up is probably the strongest this way.
Roy Meachem, catcher ; Joe Alexander, pitcher; Alonzo
Hoover, first base; Donald Hatch, second base; James
McKay, third base; Eldred George, short stop; Mar
cus Simmons, left field; Roy Peratrovich, center field;
Philip Corbet, right field.
