Rounding out the frosh squad are All-Leaguers John Anderson, a 6' 6" 210 pounder, with a deadly hook shot; Gerry Rodriguez from Sonora, a 6' 2", 180 pound guard-forward; Nick Willard, All-Marin County from Novato High School, a" 6' 2", 170 pound guard. Completing the squad are Phil Husby from Santa Rosa High in Montgomery, Ken Balzer from Washington High School, here in San Francisco, and Ed Engler from nearby St. Ignatius High (TheFoghorn).

This year's Frosh baseball team, under the capable direction of coaches Phil Vukichevich and Dan Benedetti, showed great promise for the future. Not only did the team have abundant talent, but also possessed genuine determination and strong desire. Leading the power-packed team was slugger Bob Pindroh, who held down the first base position. Second base and shortstop are capably handled by Rick Kuhtn and Tom Anderson, respectively. Third base was backed by the able fielding of Nick Willard, and the catching chores were shared by Ron Redmond and Dan Quinn. Hard firing pitchers Roger Strack and John Anderson, along with hustling outfielders Joe McNeil and Lon Gallagher, rounded out the powerful club. With this kind of talent at hand, USF baseball fans can look forward to great success in the future as these players move up (TheDon).
