May 5, 1967 Fitzwater plays on champion softball team A three-time All-American winner, Miss Carolyn Fitzwater, girls’ physical education teacher, has previously been a member of the women’s 1964 world cham pionship softball team. Coached by Miss Lois Wil liams, PE teacher and assistant vice-principal, the team spon sored by Erv Lind Florists went into the championships in 1964 after being runners-up in the 1963 season. “I don’t think in all the tour naments that we . placed lower than fifth place in the final standings,” stated Miss Fitz water. Starting to play for the team in her freshman year of high school, Miss Fitzwater was a member of the softball team for 17 years before she quit. The team disbanded about three months after the championship in 1964. Playing shortstop and second base throughout the years she was on the team, Miss Fitzwater received 3 All-America awards, 2 as shortstop and 1 for playing second base. Having played for a team in Arizona before coming to Port land, Miss Williams received 5 All-American awards. After catching and playing first base for the team, Miss Williams coached the team one year, the year they became champs. “Miss Williams was one of the best coaches in the country, even HELP WANTED! by different groups of people in the different countries. Approximately 80-90 games were played during the summer season as the team traveled from coast to coast playing in nearly every state.

BROADWAY When Coach Mark Cotton’s track team lost its city relays title to Marshall 3 weeks ago, it appeared that the city might have a new champion. A week after their loss to the Minutemen the Generals met them in a dual meet and although rated a 2-point underdog, won 1-64. Superlative efforts were turned in by Bruce McCormmach and Onia Bates, who won the high jump at 6-0, but a great deal of the credit must go to the strategist and shuffler of talent, Coach Cotton. By inserting Bates in the high jump, Coach Cotton was able to use his depth in sprinters and virtually win the meet by “out-coach ing” the opposition. It seems that a surprise performer turns up every year, and many people were surprised at Greg Kreimeyer’s 208-foot javelin toss. But it was bound to come; Kreimeyer has thrown over 180 feet all year, and with Walt Erikson, 194 feet, the Generals claim the league’s best pair in the event, both surpassing state qualifying standards. Bruce McCormmach’s win in the 880 and second in the mile over Tom Taylor and Steve Squires of Marshall have probably been his two biggest victories. Another rather unsung track performer has been Bob Ewen, who defeated Steve Stock in the city relays, and has thrown over 55 feet. Ron Brown has the low time in the city in the high hurdles and Nick Munroe is a fine pole vaulter. Which all adds up to a pretty bright outlook for next week’s city qualifying meet. And don’t be surprised if Bates puts the shot 60 feet- Takes you to the frontier of fashion! The smart elegance of the hopsack suit takes you miles ahead in fashion.
