Call for Baseball Men.

Furthermore. Benniom VIII ask that all
those who expect 10 make places on the
1914 baseball team register their inten
tlon, SO that the men may be given
time In which TO get their arms into
shape. The gym Is not big enough to
accommodate all the men who have eX
jump into the work, but the coach has
promised that DIR. Bolin's annex Will be
turned over to the prospective pitchers.
The room is long and wide with plenty OF
light, SO that the half dozen different
batteries which promise 10 make reputa-
tions In the spring Will have ample space
in which to work.
Bennion himself will direct most of his
attention to the training OF the basket
ball men, Just giving sufficient time TO
the other sports to see that the boys are
kept busy and that they do not get any
wrong steers as to how TO train. His
right-hand man in this branch of the
sports will be Captain Earl Skidmore.
Skid has had about nine years expert
ence in the hoop game, and being older
than most of the players, he will be OF
great help In teaching the green men the
fundamentals.
Fortunately this year the mid-year ex-
anlinations VIII be over before the first
collegiate game, so that the many fresh
men stars will be able TO get into the
lineup. This will furnish the varsity with
about a dozen promising youngsters, and
although IT would be rash to expect
championship again this year the boys
may surprise the doubling ones. Besides
Slkidmore. who will play Il guard. II would
not be possible to name single man
who will certainly hold down regularly
any particular place this winter There
will be great fight for the center po-
sition between Mcintyre and Briggs.
Mac has been. practicing during the
holidays and is in a little better shape
than Briggs, but the latter Is rugged.
hard working fellow and will make the
old high school star jump all the time to

gets the center job the other will prob
ably play a forward.

good game at center for the freshmen
forward and IS bidding for regular
place. Parkinson is another freshmen.

sistent regularity during the holidays and
he too will be on the jump.
Men who have been showing strong in
the guard positions arc Lowell Romney
Aggie man and II he continues to play as
he did just before school closed for the
holidays he will probably be the regular
mate for Captain Skidmore,

ron, Sumner. Travers, Done, Abbott, Udy,
Less and Jim Paul. Ruggeri and Maughn.
Fast Men on Track.
The track men will go under the imme-
diate direction OF Captain Jamison, He
will have some OF the greatest track men
IN the state with which to work. There
will be Greed Raymond, who ran the
100 yard dash In 9:0t with an electric
timer; Jack Travers and Bob Flagel. both
OF whom ran the quarter mile in 80 flat
last spring, Carl Oleson. who is a great
quarter miller; Earl Wilson, a speedy mid
