Lexington Lumbar 989-8586 Lexington VanMarter to post a 62-57 win Sunday. The early stages of the game shaped up as a rout with undefeated Eckman jumping out to a 26-12 lead by forcing turnovers and capitalizing on 12 first half points from Jim Lankford.

Cards lack experience Baseball has returned to lone after a years absence and the comeback is none too soon. With only six practice sessions to prepare his team for their season opener Tuesday against Riverside, Coach Del LaRue's task is not made any easier by the fact that only one member of the 15-man roster has any varsity experience. bfflll is b&chM t!on8 Kevin McCabe is the lone returnee from the 1976 Card team and LaRue figures the junior will be seeing plenty of action on the mound, behind the plate and in the infield. After Monday's first day of practice, LaRue said he was beginning to get an idea of where most of the players would end up for the year but no positions were definitely nailed down. Possible mound staffers to go along with McCabe include sophomore Gari Gaustad and freshman Les Thompson while freshman Greg Riet mann might be handling the catching chores with McCabe. Sophomores Robin LaRue and Jerry Rietmann and freshmen Shawn LaRue and Treve Peterson are showing a preference for some infield work Brian Rietmann is the only senior on the squad and he is joined by Junior John Lind strom, sophomores Glenn Krebs, Bruce Millman, Frank Engelman and Larry Snider, and freshman Barney Rea.,, j SELL WITH CLASSIFIEDS 676-9228 machine storage ana snop 3202 SPECIFICATIONS; 24 x 36 x 11' clearspan construction 5 12 roof pitch Engineered trusses. 12 O C.
