There are, of course, no veterans
from last year and Coach Newberry
is facing a task of developing a
baseball team from green material

school teams, and prospects have
picked up in the last week.

catcher two years ago. Hoover Is
another local schoolboy. Miller. Kelly,
and King are the others trying for
the backstop job.
Among the pitching aspirants arc
Neal. Bolton, Franzen. and Noel. Both
Bolton and Franzen have made good
so far in basketball and football, and
can be expected to come through in
baseball with the same degree of pro-
ficiency as was shown in the other
sports.
The infield will be chosen from Love,
Hazelhurst, r. T. Foster. Hunter,
Thompson. Uhl, Horn. and Barrigan.

college pitcher and former member OF
