Alabama Baseball Team to Play Every Game on the Campus-Meet Bar
 Ons on March 29

University, February 1O.-(Special.)-Th activities of the baseball team this spring will be confined entirely to the campus and not a single road journey is in- cluded in the new schedule that has been planned by Coach Lonnie- Noojin. Even the annual series with the Mississippi Aggies has been transferred from Colum- bus. Miss, to the campus,
 draft of the new schedule was given out by Coach Noojin yesterday and it is much shorter than that of last ysar. Eighteen games are to be played the opening one coming on March g. with the Birmingham Barons. It is barely possible that one or two other games may be added later on.
 A new contract has been secured with the Mississippi Aggies and as result the Aggies appear in Tuscaloosa for the first time since 1912 The contract is for two years and according to the agree ment the Aggies come to the campus this year and Alabama goes to Starkville next year. This eliminates Columbus as the scene of the annual conabats.
 Illinois will again tour the south and this team comes to the campus for the fourth consecutive season. It will be recalled that last year our first victory was obtained when Wikle shut out the northerners to o, on the day following their defeat of Turkey Bowman.
 In addition to the Aggies, Louisiana State, University of Tennessee and the University of Kentucky are among newcomers who will make their appear ance here Louisiana State was played last year at Baton Rougue. Sewanee has also been retained, but Georgia is dropped.
 The schedule is as follows:
 March %. Birmingham Barons.
 March 30: Howard college.
 March 31, Howard college,
 April 4: Illinois.
 April 6: Mississippi Aggies.
