Show I I Olympus Baseball Hopes Riding On Untried Aces Titans Young, But Tough Olympus Schools High baseball team is hopeful but the Titans must place many of their hopes on a group of baseballers and the young schools baseball tradition. The Olympus team is sprinkled by several veterans though the bulk of the team is anchored at key positions by sophomores and juniors. "We have good balance, good speed, but were a small club team experand lack over-a- ll ience to rate a top contender coach John admits role, Ericksom former Utah State University baseball star. We feel we can do very well with our club with a steady and determined effort, he said while watching his team go through a recent workout. The Titans meet a tough when they host Granite School at High 3:30 p.m. The Olympus infield is sound with Allen Dipietro, a junior lefthander working first base. Dipietro also swings from the left side and is rated one of the finer baseballers m the region around first base. At second is Rick Curtis. test Friday Curtis is quick, has proved his ability to spring the pivot on the double play and is rated a 'good hitter by his coach. Were expecting a lot from Rick, Erickson explained. John Hunter, a two-ye- ar letter man at Judge Memorial, is the teams shortstop. Hunter moved to the Olympus area during basketball play and should be a valuable addition to the team. Hunter is quick, has a good arm, can work the double play with finesse and rated a good hitter. Hunter throws and bats right. Bill Pap schools fine i is the clubs third saeker. Papanikolas is fast, has the good arm for deep throws from his third base spot and is the teams cleanup batter. Paul Clark and Bill Terrell alternate at leftheld and both play the position extremely well, reports Coach Erickson. Clark is one of three Clark brothers to play cm Olympus baseball teams the past four years. He throws and bats righthanded and is a junior as is Terrell. In centerfield is Ron Fisher, a sophomore. Fisher bats and throws from the right side, has good speed, good throwing and is coming on his hitting. Right field is Bob Scott, another junior. Scott is a southpaw and bats left. Scott is faced with beating out a tough Keith VanRoosendaal who is recovering from a rash of injuries that sidelined him most Van of the school year. Roosendaal is quick, has good throwing power from the outfield and is certain to see a lot of front line action before the seasons over. Erickson has several pitchers but is lacking the strong veteran type who had a big year as a sophomore or junior. Anchoring the mound corps is Steve Nelson, a junior. Nelson is a righthander and is noted for his fastball and over-a- ll control. Nelson also has a variety of pitches though hasnt thrown too many this early in the season according to Coach Erickson. Rem Reynolds is in his last year of varsity play and is certain to pull a turn on rotation. Reynolds is a lefty but hits from the right side. April No. 3 in the pitching lineup. Smith specializes with the fastball. Steve Ames, another junior, is the schools top golfer but plans on helping out in baseball. too. Ames is a control pitcher who throws from the 14. 1966 I I Tom Smith, another junior is rated I rtlr - ' ? L&r v f f A iH ,! 1 ifji i ; v J 1tji f : I Uil v ? right side. Reserve strength has Dev1 Nielson and Mike Cole listed ready for action. Nielson is a good gloveman and could work into the starting lmeup with additional hitting power. He is a junior and a punch-ty- pe hitter. Presently, he is playing behind Hunter at shortstop. Cole is understudy to Curtis at second base. Cole is a good hitter and only experience is keeping him from busting into the front nine. Olympus hopes for a tight and experienced mound crew were blasted when Steve Bab-b- el was injured in a mishap. Babbel is still out of action. He may be able to play some ball this summer but were not going to be able to use him too much this spring, Erickson laments.
