Coach Donohue says:
THE Auburn baseball outlook is fairly
bright. The candidates for the team are
many and of fair ability. While the in

outfield positions are still in doubt. There
are five or six good men working hard
for their positions, that it will be
sometime before the final lineup is actu-
ally settled.
Weems who is ait his best this year. will
probably do most of the pitching. He is
working on. and rapidly developing the
