TECH TEAM

BIG SCORE
Back in 1903 Tech Lost to
Varsity 23-O. Better

MORGANTOW,

MoRGANToWN April 21-(Special)
Back in 1908 when Carnegie was
In Its infancy and had developed what
was considered then a fair baseball
team for the institution, Kemp"
Shelton who now pilots the West Vir-
ginia team, was playing second base
for the Mountaineers while he had
as team mates such we'll remembered
stars as Dick Nebinger, "Hoss" Wiley,
Blake, Gregg, Corby and others.
As it happened Carnegie Tech was
induced 10 come here to open the sea-
son that :oring and when the final
score was rung up West Virginia had
scored twenty-three runs while Tech
had to be content with the well known
goose-egg.
Only on one other occasion have
West Virginia and Tech met at base
ball, this being in 1911 when Tech
again played another early season
game here. losing this time by a
score OF I'll, a fairly creditable show
ing when it is considered that the
Mountaineers had RED" Vass on the
mound and Bill Lively, Clay Casio
and other stars in the lineup. The
1911 West Virginia team won thirteen
out of seventeen games, record that
approximatcs that of Shelton's Var
sly teams during the last two years.
In fact, Tech is expected to givo

while the team has been unable as
yet to open its season because OF
rain, the team is regarded as the best
that Tech has put out since the dia-
mond game has been played there.
Shelton will likely rely on Lemley and

old well. 1t is stated that 73-foot
sand was passed through with ro-
tary in the old well and so confident
are the owners that his is the sand
