Spring Sports Await “King Sol”
Spring is just around the corner, and the two
coaches of track and baseball are getting orga
nized. “Doug” Olds, another student from
Willamette University, will coach the thin clads
this year. With the help of the farm shop they
are putting the finishing touches on the track,
and Coach Olds figures on making it the best
cinder track in the Willamette Valley. Over
thirty boys have signed up and the first turnout
will be in the first part of March. The first
track meet will be with Medford.
In baseball Roosevelt Suppah will be in charge
of the baseball squad until Coach Bennett is
through coaching basketball. Almost all of the
lettermen will be back to play their old positions
again this year. Coach Bennett’s main worry is
to find a good catcher, a couple of pitchers, and
outfielders. Lettermen who will be on hand are
Warren Allen, pitcher; Harold Joseph, short
stop; Alvin Bobb, third base; and Henry Hillaire,
first base. The first league game is with Canby
at Canby.
Tennis will be adopted as a major sport in
the league this year. As there is no instructor,
as yet, all of the tennis prospects are requested
to buy their own rackets. Tennis will be played
the same day baseball is played.
