A few casualties and one major loss in per10nneJ have marred the otherwise successful practice sesslon1 whic,h e • University- of San Diego footballers have been cond11ctl:ng at Navy Field. ' With the first week of the spring "exams' 1 past, coaches
Bob McC11tcheon and P au 1 Platz have expressed satis- faction at the performances turneu in by most of their charges. "Generally eaklng," said Mccutcheon, "the team looks pretty good. Most of the boys are living up to our expecta- tions and a couple of them have shown vast improvement over last season." The Pioneer head coach had particular prai • e for tackle Rick Novak and quarterback Billy Bourque. "Novak has surprised us," he commented. "He·~ the most improved line- man c t tne squad. Bourque ha.5 been runriing the team very well. If he continues, he may be our No. 1 quarter- back next fall." Mccutcheon a Is o singled out Ken Cook and Don Gwalt- ney. Both played in guard positions last season, but have been switched to center. "They're making the transi- tion very well," added Mc- Cutcheon, "and they should give letterman Jack Gal"O- fono a good fight for the first-string berth." Backs Bob Keyes and Ava- lon Wright also drew raise. "Wright ha, a slight knee in- jury, but has been running well," the USD mentor said, "while Keyes has looked the best ot all our backs." The injury list at the be- ginning of this week included Wright, Novak [slightly spramed an k I e); halfback Tom Gates [twisted knee), tackle Charley Franklin (in- jured foot and bruised hip), end Wayne Bourque (sprain- ed ankle), and Keyes. The latter was ordered to take a couple da s of rest Monday after Dr. Richard Luther, the team phys clan. reported that the , ' egro speedster had a sli:;ht touch of the flu. The only major setback of the week was occasioned by the lo,s of fullback Jim Frankson. The former San D1e;;o Jun or College and Washington s tat e College I standout left the squad be- cause of financial difficulties. He had been out of school more than a year before he began auditing courses at USD this semester. He re- ceived word from the Vet- eran's Administration during the weekend that he was no longer eligible for educational

Both ~eaknesses are expected to be rei:nforced by additional talent be!ore starting time next fall. • • • When the Pioneer gridders end their practice sessions with the "Blue-White game" May 17, most of the pros- pective players who will join the squad in September are expected to be In attendance on the sidelines. Following the skirmish th e y will be guests at a spaghetti dinner where they will meet their new teammates, a., well as coaches, school officials, Slld booster members. • • • A lo n K the USO baseball front, Lavon Baker still hold.ll a. commanding lead over Bob Duncan in the hitting depart- ment. Baker Is whacklng the ball at a .441 clip, while Dun- can 1s at an even .400. How- ever, the latter leads the team in home runs, with tlve to his credit. Dick Shea tops the three- man pitching staff with a 3-2 record. He's followed by Hec- tor Sanchez, who has won two while losing three. The pitching has been a weak point all season, al- though the Pioneers have ra,·ed extremely well again.,t opposing throwers.

Shaules captured the county scoring championship, marking the fourth straight year that a St. Augustine cager led the county's prep scoring.
