COLBY COLLEGE

Lincoln Heyes, rs, has been chosen
! to captain this years baseball team
! by the letter men left from last yea
at Il recent meeting. For some reaS
/ the captain was not elected Mt To
close of the season last spring. and tbs
year the election has dragged alOrs
till now. Heyes is a popular chOIcs
with the students, as he was one Of
the stars of the team last year in ad.
dition to being very popular among the
student body. Heyes played at second
base last spring and was easily one Of
the best infielders in the State college
ranks. He is a fast fielder and while
ne is not especially strong in obtain.
ing hits, he can usually be depended
upon TO get on the bases in some man.
ner. as his record will show. In one
game last year he received q pass 70
frSt four times out of the same nun.
Der of times lie was facing the oppos
ing pitcher. Captain Heyes at the pres
ent outlook has some good material
from which to build the Varsity out
nj tins coming spring and if all goes
wei and too many men DO not leave
to enlist he will lead a team which
should give any team in the State al
good rub. The schedule for the com
ing season has not as We, been an.
nounced, but it will probably be forth.
coming soon. A full schedule of games
will probably be played
