COLUMBIA FRESHIES
WILL HAVE NO NINE

II was officially announced in "The
Columbia Spectator the student or
gan. yesterday morning that the uni
vcrsity committee on athletics had
abolished the freshman baseball nine
and would permit first year men to play
on the varsity. The announcement
was preceded several weeks ago by
stories that such official action was
merely being held back until the last
three inches Of red tape could be
tackled on.
The reasons given for the abolition
Of the freshman nine are that there is
lack Of field accommodations and a
lack Of eligible men. Half Of the first
year men who play baseball are in
eligible because Of scholarship defci-
cncics, and Of the other half only seven
can get out Of classes before o'clock
each afternoon. As the varsity begins
practice on South Field at (. the fresh
men would have no place to play.
Andy Coakley. baseball coach, cut his
squad 20 forty men yesterday. or
these only four are freshmen.
