aggregation of baseball artists will be
found IN the team which comes from

This team is also making liz first trip
through the Southern states.
But the fact that Manager Hanes has

Wake Forest, and the further fact that
one Of these Is to be played in Durham
on Easter Monday, arouses the intense
interest, not only of Durham and the
student bodies Of both college commu-

we'll. There could not exist better
spirit of rivalry in college athletics
and though the Baptists won the series

Robert Gannt, than whom there IS no
better baseball pitcher among the col

team this year will be able to turn the
trick and to worst Wake Forest In the

southern trim on April is, and will be
gone for ten DAYS, returning In time
