UNIVERSITY TO
Open SEASON
Wahpeton Science Friday and
Brandon Saturday-Fast
Team

Team
The university baseball nine will
open its season Friday afternoon at
4 o'clock when the Wahpeton science
team will be here for game. On
Saturday, the varsity men will go up
against the fast Brandon aggregation
which is spending it's training sea-
son in the city.
The university promises to have an
exceptionally, fast team this year.
Nine members of last years team
are back and the new material is
giving some Of the old men a hard
run for their position.
Last night. the faculty team was
out for a practice game against the
varsity and the "Profs" certainly
showed that they knew the practice
as we'll as the theory in baseball.
Art Hargrace, an old time varsity
pitcher, was on the mound and Mac
Allister was at the receiving end of
the faculty battery. ::
The lineup Of the university team
for the first game cannot be stated
and it is probable that number of
men will be given an opportunity.
There are two or three men trying
for every position and Coach Conmy
will have no easy task selecting his
warriors.
Pitching Staff. :
Campbell. Robinson, Mcintosh,
Brennan and Void are trying out
for the pitching. position. J Campbell,
who Is captain Of the team, was the
mainstay in the box last year and
will undoubtedly bear the heaviest
burden this year. Vic has good con-
Mcintosh pitched a couple of games
for the varsity last year. He has
speed and curves but was trifle
wild last year. His control Is better
this year and he should make a re-
liable slab artist Robinson has
pitched interdepartment ball for sew
eral years and was a sub pitcher for
the varsity last year. He should de-
velope into strong man. Brennan
is new at the pitching position but
has grown UP in baseball. He has
played practically every position on
the team and last year made a strong
bid for the receiving job.
Void pitched for the law school
team last year. He has been out of
practice for the past three weeks on
his trip east and it Is hard to say
what he will do. .. He has lots Of
speed but last years lack Of control.
The three contenders for the catch
er's job are all good men. McIlraith
played in the field last year, alter
mating with Netcher at the receiving
Job. Mac plays with the fast Pickett
bunch too and is an all around play
er, being one of the best batters at
the U.
Monson and Vail are new men at
the university but both have good
records from other schools. Monsoin
formerly played on the Fargo college
team and Vail played at the North
western university. Both have been
showing up in good form.
Gullickson seems to have a cinch
at hrst base. Gullick is one of the
best batters Of the team and is fast
on the bases. He covers a lot of
ground at first and filled the position
In fine shape last year.
The other infield positions are I'M
certain. Bradshaw seems to have
the best Of it at second while Jacob
son at short and Blewett at third
have the advantage Of playing the
position with the team. before. But
Evans. Sad, Vail and Sagen are nut
ting up classy scrap and it is any,
oodys fight at present. In the out
held, Dryden and Sagen of last
years team are trying for positions
Both men played good ball last year
but will have to fight for their Jobs
with Evans. ,Blewett and others if
tnese lose out for an fnf1eld berth.
one of the strongest assets of the
team is Chick COMFY for coach.
Cnick was one of the best men the
university ever sent out and was
captain of the baseball team for two
years. He is now playing With the
Picketts and keeps right IN on The
game. He will turn out a team that
WILL be a credit to the university.
