V eteran Coach Herbert
Harper is optimistic about the prospects of this spring's ecology team. Built around a nucleus of returning players Camp Howard, Clay Craddock and Jimmy Collins; rookies Paul Ogden, Scott Gilbert, Davis Aikins and Whately Fore have added drive and style to the rototiller. "One-wheel" Jack Fralin has displayed his talents with periwinkle, grass seed, and honeysuckle as well as a natural proclivity for poison ivy. Pat Miller has done a fine job on wheelbarrow. Although hampered by hypochondria , senior Tommy Bruhn has been able to get outside once or twice during the season. Craddock,
who is similarly afflicted and in addition allergic to grass, leaves, trees, and work, has also been sidelined. Howard has suffered a finger injury and Fore a weak
ankle. According to assistan t Coach Jay Hight, the team suffered a temporary loss of morale when hot prospect Rob Craighill dropped down to track, but confidence has been re- gained with the continuing reseeding and periwinkle project along the front campus. Coach
Harper takes pride in his "enthusiastic band of volunteers." Spectator attendance at plantings has been fairly good
