FAILED TO ELECT
BASEBALL LEADER
Catholic University Players
Went Right Out to War.
SHORTEY AT FORT MYER
Football Captain and Others Joined
Organizations at First Call.

Catholic University Is without 4
baseball captain for next year. Fall
ure to elect a leader may mean the
appointment OF a captain next fall.
Tom Kendrick, veteran pitcher, is ex-
pected to be the logical choice for the
Leadership.
When war was declared many
Catholic University athletes immeul-
ately Joined various organizations. So
intent were they in Joining the colors
that they forgot to elect a captain.
Among tHe athletes were practically
all Of the baseball players.
In Reserve Corps.
Mike Shortley, captain OF next
years football team, IL at present in
the Officers Reserve Corps camp at
Fort Myer. Frank Greer, for the past
three years a mainstay in basketball
and football. is also at Fort Myer.
Pat Rooney and Tom Kendrick. OF
the baseball team, are under age and
are at work at present. Rogers,
White. and Harrington. of the base
ball team, are at the naval training
camp at Norfolk.
Fahey and Butler, two other base
ball members, are with a shipbuild-
ing concern somewhere In New Eng
land.
Frank Kean Elected.
At q recent meeting of the track
team Frank Kean was chosen to lead
the runners for next season. Kean
was q member OF the relay team, and
one of the best quarter-milers in this
section OF the country.
E. w. o'Brien, crack right forward
on the basketball team, was chosen
as captain OF the team for next year.
O'Brien is In his sophomore year, as
are many members OF the team.
The fact that Shortley IL q member
OF the reserve corps may mean his
loss to the football. team No coach
has been selected for the eleven as
yet, and a meeting OF the athletic
council is awaited which will determ-
Inc whether or not the sport will be

1t goes without argument that. II
the Cleveland pitchers develop as

Will prove most dangerous. Today
Stanley Coveleskie Is pitching as
