games last year was $3.50.
Willard, who captain OF the nine last year.
will play first base again this season He led bis
team in batting year and second in the inter-
collegiate games. Gallivan, 'es, will probably play
second base. He has never played on the Varsity
nne before but has led his class team In batting and
fielding for two years Quackenboss, OF the Medical
School, Will play third base. He led the Dartmouth
nine In batting last year Knowton, NJ 81, Is play

several years as catcher OF tho Phillips and
Andover teams and IS showing up Wen
