President-T. S. Lazell
Vice Presidential. r. jerks.
Secretary and Treasurer-E: w. simpson
G. Buchanan, F. W. Dana, L. ID. sykes.
The Maine State Inter-C Collegiate Asso-
citation will probably be represented by
Bates, Colby and Bowdoin.
The team has begun practice in the
gymnasium and the prospects for a
strong team to represent Bowdoin on the
diamond this season are good.
Allen, who played third base on last
years team, and Hutchinson, who
played at short, will probably go behind
| the bat
Bowdoin, it is feared, will be weak in
the box this season. Plaisted, who filed
| the position with credit last season, has
been obliged to leave college on account
of i'll heath; Downer will be able to do
nothing on account of injury received
last year, having, as he says "a glass
arm" Spring also has left college.
French, '95, who played strong game
with the Norway team last summer, has
great speed, but lacks control of the ball.
Allen, who has done some good work
| twirling the sphere, may be given trial,
while harrington shows evidences that
may warrant his filing the position.
| This is sure to be Bowdoin's weak point
and special attention will be given to
this position.
Downer, who played at first base last
year. and French will be the probable
candidates for this position.
1t is question yet to be decided who
will fill Packard S position at second. 1t
will take good man to do it.
Allen OF Hutchinson will probably
play third.
Sykes, who played short at Poland
Springs last season and put up strong
game, also doing some heavy batting,
will probably play at short.
Savage, who played an almost error
less game in right field last season, will
play in his old position.
Fairbanks, who has the reputation Of
playing good ball, Wilson, Hinkley,
Leighton '95, Dana, SWEET and Gateley
are candidates for the nine.
The Athletic Association has elected
the following officers:
President-R. C. Payson.
Vice Presidents-L. Stacey, F; G.. Harrington.
Secretary and TreaSurer-H. E. Andrews
DirectorS-G. S. Machan A. J. Lord, G. G.
Buchanan, Fl. A. Ross, G. Fl. D. Foster.
Despite the fact that Bowdoin lost
many of her best athletes in '91 it is
hoped, with the promising material in
the freshman class, to give an exhibition
fully mp to the standard of past years.
Professor Lawton is reading the third
book of Virgil to those who think of tax
ing the teachers course in the spring.
The places referred to in this book hav-
ing been recently visited by Professor
Lawton, and thorough Investigations
having been made, makes this course one
of great interest.
Mitchell, 80, Hastings and Nelson, '91,
