park and kept in good condition until
the long, wished-for day came at last
and Chief" Broadhead called out
baseball candidates.
A great string of men, including
very few veterans, answered the call.
There was only one piece Of good
luck that came Chiefs way; he had
an experimental battery. Ron Smith
was on the mound last year. and
pitched a very consistent game, while
Andy Dempsey was behind the bat
last season and was famous for his
hitting. With these men as a bat
terry, "Chief" Broadhead started to
develop an intield and outfield out
of the abundance of raw material at
hand.
To find substitute for a player
like Rupe Mills is no easy task. Fos-
ter, one of the candidates who offered
himself for the position, plays a reg
ular and consistent game, however.
The height and reach Of Schultz
makes him strong aspirant for the
position. Stanley Ward came out
and also showed up we'll in practise.
The aspirants for second base are
| Mansfield, Simmons and Haux. All
are fast and steady players, with
Mansfield and Simmons showing up
| especially WELL At shortstop Karr
and James answered the call. They
are both somewhat new to the game,
but under Chiefs able coaching are
likely to become first-raters. At
third base another gap was left, and
Haarlander, although he played a
fast fielding game last season, will
have to improve greatly at the bat
If he wishes to play the game as his
predecessor, Frank Jose. did.
For the outfield there is an abund-
ance of material at hand. Ray Ward
played last season and put up a good
game in the field, and at the bat.
Stanley Sutton, who played in the
outfield for Central last season, is
also an aspirant for an outfield posi-
ton. Among the other men who are
out for the outfield are Grimm, Weis-
muller and Hagopian, all of whom
are showing up strong in practise.
With the addition of Halsted and
Diamond in the infield and the good
| form shown by the pitching staff,
Smith, Cohen and Steadman, Barrin-
gers prospects for championship
| team have frightened up considerably
in the last week and a successful sea-
son is looked forward to.
The outlook for a championship
| track team at Barringer for the COM
| ing season, owing to the loss of most
| of the veterans through graduation,
| is at present rather dim. However,
Coach D'Angola will have the in
| door track squad as nucleus around
| which to form his team.
The material for the field events is
particularly good, for such men as
Captain School, Gilbertson, Ward.
Sutton and Napolielo have signified
their intention of trying for the team.
OF the indoor squad, Buckley, Snee
and Driver will form the basis of
| the relay team, and much is expected
of these men. Probably one of the
most consistent point winners of the
team will be Bill Drabble, the cross
country star, who will compete in the
mile run.
In the junior events the team will
also be well represented, as a dozen
or so husky lads are out trying for
those events. The sprints will be
| taken care of by Wiss, Wadsworth
and Ten Eyke. while Terhune will
feature in the hurdles. The squad
which has reported for practise is an
unusually large one and will require
much wedding out before the opening
games on April 10.
