The camp will end with a
geme matching the top players in

The two day Rockdale camp is
the third that the Colts have held

was signed by the Colts in a Lub-
bock try-out camp Friday.
Murff and his staff arrived in
Rockdale Wednesday afternoon
and finished outlining the pro-
gram.
Several fields in Rockdale were
prepared for use if the situation
demanded.
Try-outs for the Colts consist
of a number of cut-downs. The
boys are tested on baseball fund-
amentals such as hitting, throw-
ing and running. “The scouts arc
especially interested in boys who
c<*n perform well (under Ipres-
sure," Laurence said. When a boy
is cut off he is told what his prob-
lems are and how he can correct
them the Rockdale coach added.
“If this year's camp is a suc-
cess, we will try to make it an
annual affair,” Laurence noted.
