The opening Of the spring term finds
the usual revival of athletic interest
among the college boys, and baseball,
track sports ana tennis will occupy the
spare time Of many for the next two
months. The baseball team which
opened the season, week ago, by de-
lcaIrls colby to 3, was prevented by
the rain from playing the game with
Bates scheduled at Lewiston, Satur-
day afternoon. Two games will be
played later with Bates, May II at
Lewiston, and June Is at Brunswick.

pcctcd from it. capt. Havcy is prov
| Ing an ideal leader and has had an
| abundance of good material to dtaW
| from as 40 candidates nave been in
training since the middle of the winter.
| Gakcs, Lewis, Coffin and Stewart are
~ll that are needed for the box and
| blanchard leaves nothing to be de
sired behind the bat. 1t is a coincidence
that no seniors are on The team, this
spring. StanWood, '02, last years star
center fielder ana one of the best bat
| teIa, is out of the game on account of
| Il broken wrist sustained Il few weeks
= go, but the loss of the nine is the gain
of the track team, as he is one of the
best high and broad jumpers in the
| college.
The arrival of Coach I.athrop. Il
week ago, brought out large squad
| of field and track athletes ana interest
| is high in this branch OF athletics, so
that capt. Hunt and Manager Mitchell
