When faced with the same choice as the British at Tel Aviv, the Israelis did not decide to show the same mercy that was shown to them. It reminds one of the parable of the merciless official. In this tale, the king thinks that one of his officials owes him a great sum of money, and is to have the man sold into slavery along with his wife and children and all his property to pay the enormuos debt. But when the man begs the king for forgiveness, the king has pity on him and cancels turmoil in the region. The media has spent a majority his debt. The man, however, goes to a fellow servant of its time covering the various combatants involved who owes him a fraction of what he owed the king in the battles over the last few decades. As is usually and demands his money. The man shows no mercy the case with wars in this region, the forgotten for his fellow servant and has him thrown into people tend to be the ones who are hurt the most by prison.

But the element of. experience will be with the Rams as the probable fall line-up will consist of seven of eight players who were with the club last year. Improve your memory. A heavy burden will be placed on junior George Monson (.143 in six games last Order this memo board now-before you forget! spring), who will be doing the catching with Pete Strahm (.250 in three games) and Mike Barry behind him, both of whom are also third year players, Ed Napolitano (.304, 2 HR's, 4 triples and 16 RBI) will move from right field to first base as well as handling some pitching duties. That leaves right field up for grabs although freshmen Chris Malkin seems to be the best candidate for the job. Malkin and senior Pete Scuesa (.105) will probably share the role as designated hitter. The versatile Tony Russo, who hit a solid .281 last spring, will make the switch from third base to second due to Forlano's ab- sense and senior Billy Santo (.260, 2 HR's) will move to third. Senior co-captain Vinny Ferraro will remain at shortshop. The pitching staff will be led by senior co-captain Joe Vanchiro, who,was 3-2 in the spring but has the potential to beat anyone in the league. Tony LoBello will try to bounce back after a hand injury and a poor spring and could prove to be a very big contribution to the staff. Napolitano will most likely see a few starts and possibly some relief work from a bullpen that is rather shallow due to the loss of Billy O'Keefe(3-l last year). Unfortunately Marco Gugliemini, who was a standout in the spring, had a cumulative index that was too much lower than his ERA (4.20) and will miss the fall season. Matt Furey appears to have recovered from his eye operation over the summer and will probably get a good looking at by Blair and Nathanson this fall. The fall season will consist of 18 games, 17 of which will be away. The only "home" game as such will be at Allerton field on September 24 against Wagner. It is a season that is really like a spring training ordeal, a time for the younger players to gain experience while the veterans get their eye back. But there is an exciting feeling among the players as well as the coaches, a feeling of optimism as well as determination that hus been away for awhile. It is hard to say what kind of team this will be. As a unit the club hit over .300 but also gave up an abundance of runs. Fun- i^ damentals will surely be stressed this fall. A big year is expected from Nopolilono y An I remember, who had right field on his mind a lot in the spring and perhaps his hitting suffered 'a good t nes stir with bit itom that, although he still managed to hit over .300.
