Baseball is back at Chemawa again,
after many years of absence. Twenty
boys turned out for the 1972 team,
which will have to play all its games
on the road due to a lack of a home
field.
A wet spring has held down the
number of games, but Chemawa looked
good in an exhibition game against the
Woodburn jayvee squad. The Braves
beat the Bulldogs in a six-inning con
test, 6-1.
Coach William Eoff had special
praise for southpaw pitcher Gene Pur
ser. Purser, a senior, struck out 14
Woodburn batters and allowed only
three hits in his first start for Chema
wa.
During the rain the team is still
practicing, giving special concentra
tion to developing their infield.
