BELLEVUE MEN GET OUT DOORS
Base Ball and Track Team Csndi-
dates Are Numerous.

dates Are Numerous.
Indoor base ball work Is now q thing of
the past at Bellevue. Spring practice has
now started on the diamond, the men work
ing a couple Of hours each afternoon when
the weather permits. While the squad is
somewhat short in the matter OF old men
here, there are many newcomers OF ex-
p~erience and promise. Altogether some
twenty-five or thirty men are at work un-
der Captain Cassidy, two or three for every
position.
Cassidy hes played two years here as
shortstop, doing splendid individual play
ing as well as good team work, and should
prove an efficient captain.
The pitching staff is good. 1t surpasses
the usual staff and should go a long way
toward winning a pennant this spring.
The schedule. as arranged by Manager
Jones, is as follows:
April 1o-Bellevue against School for the
April Ie-Bellevue against Tabor, at IA

Indications are that the season will be
successful for the squad contains more
promising individuals than ever before.
| There are men of special abilities and all
around men. who can enter several events,
and there is no question but that the ma
terial is at hand for a winning team II
rightly handled Moreover, definite recog-
milton is being given the track men, as has
not been the case before.
There are but two events for which no
really promising material has already APP
peared. These are the hurdles and the
broad jump. Men will possibly develop
who can compete in these events. but have
not done so yet. In the high jump several
men are being tried. These are Primrose,
Enfield, Brandet and others. No ono has
been tried out for the hurdles as yet. but
Churchill and Sinsel have been spoken of
as possible competitors. In the weight
events there are a score OF good men
Barry, Primrose, Enfield, Curtis, Rice.
henderson and others. In the state meet
last spring Primrose won the discus throw
and he Is back In the field this year with
! even better form, and certainly more
strength. Curtis Is a close second to Prim-
rose. In the shot put Curtis is leading
Bellevue competitors. AS yet Enfield has
practiced little and his strength in the shot
put is not definitely known. Besides these
two. Rice and henderson should do well.
Barry is the only one who has made an
especially good showing in the hammer
throw and will probably represent Bellevue
IN that event. In the high Jump Sinsel and
jerks are thus far leading. with Sinsel a
little ahead. Enfield, however, who hal
only lately com out. may win from them
both. In the sprints Rscely probably has
the honors. Mohr has been a close com
petitor always. but is not now working
much for the track, being interested In
base ball. RaceIy now has the ribbons for
second place in both the 100 and 2oo-yarc
dashes in last years state meet. Primrose
Is q good 40 and sco-ysrd man. Gilman
will perhaps go in for the mile. II he does
he will probably win out. In the pole
vault Captain Templin is proficient. as are
also Sinsel and Brandt. 1t is likely thai
Brandt will be worth more TO the team,
however, in the runs and broad jump and
may give his attention to them,
May I the team will meet Doane college
at Crete. May % 1t will compete in this
state meet at WESLEYAN.
