Sophomore. Hathaway was placed on the all-star team be cause of his powerful hitting and his ability to keep up the chatter in the infield. Abe hit 14 times out of 35 trips to the plate and handled 75 fielding chances with 7 errors. MAX SMITH A snappy, color ful litile infielder who was a threat to any pitcher with his bitting abil iiy. Max hit 11 limes out of 30 chances for a .366 average. His fielding of .875 is just fair, but lie figured in many double plays. DEAN VAN LYDEGRAF Play ing in the last seven games, Dean established himself as the most dangerous lead-off man in the league. He hit at at .518 and field ed .800. NEAL NICHOLS Nichols play ed shortstop most of the season but was moved to third to make way for Van Lydegraf. Nick, hit only .266 and fielded .718, but he went after every chance and was a sparkplug in Eugene high's cham pionship hneup. ROY SKEENS Roy led his team in baiting wiih 13 hits in 27 times at bat for a .481 average. He field ed with an average of .800. His spectacular overhead catches rob bed many a batter of hits. CHARLES DEAUTREMONT Transferring from the shortpatch to the outfield, Charlie patrolled the field position like a veteran. He hit .333 for the season and fielded 29 chances for a .896 aver age. BOB POLLARD Pollard hit 13 times out of 40 chances and fielded 21 chances without a single error for very outstanding 1.000 over age. DON PLATH This scrappy catcher used his head behind the plate and fielded .949 for the cam paign. Just as important, Plath pounded out enough timely hits to amass a handsome .415 batting av erage. BOB ROBERTSON Bob couldn't be left off the team. He pitched three games for Eugene, winning all of them. He struck out 18 opposing batters and walked four. He also had a high batting average of .428 for the season, and fielded 1.000. BUNNY BARKER Barker was the workhorse of the league. He won five games Bnd lost two for Junction Ciiy and piayed at other positions in between times.' He struck out 55 batsmen, far more than any other hurler, and walked only eight. OTTO LARSON The Junction second sacker registered a high .907 fielding average, taking 54 chances with S errors. This was the highest average of any second baseman in the league, and his av erage rated high with the averages of the shortstops and third base men of the league and so merited the position of utility infielder on our all-star team. REX McCREADY Rex was not the outstanding second baseman of the league but his excelient hit ting was enough to merit his po sition on the all-star team. BILL SHEAR Shear is known as an all-around ball player and couldn't be kept off entirely, de spite the fact that his .500 fielding average at third base puts him in bad light. He batted .333. Young Tops Goodwin For Oakway Title Ford Youne won the annual spring handicap tournament at the Oakway golf course this week, de feating Medalist Boh Goodwin, 5 and 4, in the final match. In the semi-finals Young de feated Van Duyne and Goodwin turned back Wilder. Michigan Cops Big Ten Crown Watson Leads Way In Track, Field Meet ANN ARBOR, Mich. May 20. i,Ri Capt.
