close and exciting contest. The re-

on Hessler's double, and scored on Mars
den's clean single TO center.
The Farmers started the scoring in the
fourth, when Muninigkausen crossed the
pan with a tally. Catholic University,
however, came back strong in their part
of the inning, gaining a lead over the
Aggies with three runs. NJ. A. c. got
another run in the next inning. There

letting the Aggies down with no hits for
three innings. However, he was a little
wild, and in the fourth he was taken
out and Chief" Green, the mainstay of

indications will prove a terror TO the
College batsmen this coming season

still is the same cool-headed pitcher who
pitched the Brookland nine to so many
victories last spring.
