Bowdoin Baseball
1922 Spring Trips

Brunswick, NOV. 15-Wlth a no.
defeat football season behind her,
Bowdoin pauses for moment to look
ahead to baseball prospects and
schedule, before jumping into the re-
lay and hockey seasons of the win
/ ter months. The baseball schedule
has been nearly completed by Man.
Iager Wallace Putnam of Newbury-
port, Mass. 1t includes two of the
best trips that a Bowdoin team has
ever made; the first of these being
the southern trip where eight i'm
portant colleges will be played. and
then the New England trip with sew
en- games. 1t will be remembered
that on last years New England trip
Bowdoin set quite a record when she
took five out of six games against
the big colleges, losing only to Har-
ward by the score of Al.
This years season will open on
Saturday. Apr with a game at West
Point, where the baseball team is
hoping to regain some lost Bowdoin
prestige and help wipe off the slate
the football defeat of a year ago. The
next week the following colleges will
be played: Columbia. New York Uni
versity, Princeton, Pennsylvania, An
napolis and Rutgers. The game with
the Navy is still pending. Bowdoin
made an excellent showing on this
trip last year. and anything points to
at least as good success this coming
season, with some notable victories.
The New England trip will start off
with a game at Amherst on Wednes-
day, April 90. On successive days
are scheduled games with Wesleyan,
Holy Cross. Brown, Williams. Tufts
and Harvard. The game with Will
liams is another contest that is still
pending, and it is possible that either
Trinity or Yale may be substituted
en- May /.
Portland will have an opportunity
to see two of the big Bowdoin games
next spring if nothing happens. The
Brunswick nine is scheduled to play
Holy Cross in Portland on May II.
Those who saw Holy Cross defeat
Bowdoin by the score of to last
year in one of the closest games ever
seen in that city, will need no urging
to attend this year. The second game
to be played in Portland is that with
Tufts on May q.
1t is expected that games with
New Hampshire State college and
Boston University will be played at
Brunswick. Plans for the State
Series have been made. and these six
games will take place in the usual
order.
The schedule as outlined here is
still only tentative and has not been
ratified by the faculty vet. But the
final schedule will not differ greatly.
The date for the beginning of base
ball practice has not yet been def
nitely set, but it will probably start
in the athletic building some time in
February, or at least by the first of
March. Nearly all of the men from
last years championship team which
took all'six of the State series games
will be back in uniform again. Cap
tain William r. Needelman (second
base) and Donald X. Clifford .(first
base) both of Portland. are the only
members of that team which will be
