Baseball (1951-1952)

Expected in the turnout are members of last year's highly successful Frosh team, led by point getter Frank Evangelho. Frank will probably see varsity action this season. Richie Mohr, Klem Korte, and Carl Lawson will also return. Among the newcomers who are expected are Jerry Mullen, All-Northern California forward from St. Mary's of Berkeley, Dick Lawless, and Taggart Waider of Oakland High. There has also been a large turnout from San Francisco high schools. Stars in this division include K.C. Jones of Commerce High, Rudy Zannini, Bob Wiebush, Stan Buchannan, George Hayes, and Ray Healey from St. Ignatius, and Jerry Tamelier of Galileo (TheFoghorn).

Powerful, spirited, and experienced. This is how the 1952 USF baseball nine was described by opposition and scouts alike. The backbone of the team was the left handed hitting array of freshman Joe Arenivar, John Olcese, Eddy Rommell, Len Karp, and Gene Jacobs. Their power helped the Hilltoppers compile one of their finest seasons in recent history. Following them in the batting order were Hal Sandel, Lou Marietta, and Dan Moriarity, excepting for the substituting of Lauren Scola for John Olcese, and Dick Bechelli for Dan Moriarity, as Coach Bill Cunningham saw fit, this is what enemy opposition faced during the season.The first seven games saw the Dons win five, tie one, and lose one. Three of these tilts were pitched by ace right-hander Bob Thollander (TheDon).
