COLLEGIANS DOWNED
10 TO 2 ION SEM. CAMPUS
Such Swatting as Witt Did
Hasn't Been Seen in
a Long Time

In the fast gathering twilight of
misty May evening at the campus late
yesterday, company of balltossers hus-
tied down the hill to catch the 5:45 train
that would take them back to Winooski
park and st. Michael's college. Left in
their wake was a band of hoarse SEM
inarians who had just begun to celebrate
10 to 2 baseball victory which Goddard
had achieved over the visitors. 1t was
the seminary's first school game and the
cheering was anything bat subdued. God.
dard had started off its schedule in
manner that bids fair to land the lads
state championship, but apart from
this significant feature, the local stu
dents had taken the measure OF neigh |
boring school that more than once has |
been a hard nut for Goddard to crack.
The story of the contest centers most |
ly around the amazing performances of
Captain Witt with his magic bat and
peerless pitching of Tommy Davidson.
st. Michael's scores were in the nature
of dispensation, but nearly every tai Il

kept the college fielders chasing the
length and breadth of the lot The hard
hitting Goddard third baseman performed
feat seldom paraleled on the campus
by driving out two home runs, couple
of singles, all at time when hits
meant runs, and above all, by mauling
the ball for an average of 1000, no
less. Davidson kept the neighbors from
collecting more than two bingles and
had his finger on the situation all the
way through. Coach Hoernle's men
proved their mette 1t was a team
little short of mediocre in its capacity
for hitting or fielding that represented
St MichaePs. Clark was never cut out
for an enigmatical moundsman and his
support at times defes description. II
