Hadd is a junior and the other two returnees are seniors.Also returning are lettermen Bruce Williams (5-10), Pete Williams (6-3) and Jim Salomon-som (6-5).“This team is potentially the best squad I’ve ever had here,” says Dorado skipper John Tis-saw. “We have a little height and some depth for a change.“We lack experience in some positions, but that should comeduring the season,” adds Tis-saw.Other top prospects include 6-5 Benny Blackwell, 6-5 Ron Paulson, 6-0 Gary Wallis and 6-2 Ron Grable.'
