Compared With Last Falls
Football Eleven, Diamond
Outfit Resembles Midgets.
By BRYAN MORSE.

The fact that Techs baseball team
has failed TO display what is known as
the punch" this season is attributed by
many to the smallness OF stature and
youth Of the outfit. Compared with the
bigness of the football team that repre-
sented Tech last fall, this years base
ball team Is one of midgcts.
Mark Showers, Techs pitcher, is the
biggest player on the team. The others
are unusually small. In the infield
Ochsenreiter is of the average size. but
Hanlcin, Flood. Simpson, and Myers
form the smallest infield that has ever
represented Tech. Contrast these play
ers with such FORMER stars as "Ev' Bal
Iinger, Johnny Beall, Dutch" SterZer,
Dolly Gray, and others too numerous
to mention. and it will bc seen that the
present collection is on" Of real mid
gets.
other plavers on the nine, are about the
average size. but the other youngsters
fail to measure up with those who play
ed football last fall. Supplce. Hart.
I.atimer, Borycr, Gibson. and tho Other
football PLAYERS made m an eleven
which was far and away larger than
any of the other high school teams,
but in baseball Tech turns to the other
extreme.

Washington has a strong staff in

counting some others. Boston has a
high grade staff in Wood, Collins

are far stronger in the box than either
