 There are three principal candidates for positions on the twirling staff Firstly primarily, and in the begin ming, gentlemen, we present the name of Athertoq Earn Anderson, common ly known about the campus as Bud a gentleman who, by the way, stepped into the limelight last year when he handed the Hendrix Bulldogs a con- plete shutout. Bud is expected to go strong again this year. Yea, bo.
 The newest arrival into the purple and gray camp is one Horace Tanner, who halls from that metropolis of sportsmanship which has already pr5- duced one of our pre-eminent ath- letes-Guy, Arkansas. the home of our esteemed friend, H.

 The third candidate for mound duty is Kirby, last years second stringer Kirby has some pretty hot stuff, and we hope him the best of luck. For the position behind the plate, Swiftly Henderson, who won won derful rep last year, will probably file homestead papers next week. It just can't be denied that Swiftly will be in line for all-state honors this year.
 Another formidable candidate for his place exists in the person of Frank Thomas, who has had considerable ex- perience in the receiving end of the diamond, and who is said to be a catcher of the first rank.
 l.. Pinchback, Gibbons and McGinn are avowed candidates for the first base job, while Weatherly, of estab- lished fame, will probably cinch the second bag position without opposi- ton. Allison, who served at third last season, will protect his title again. Another formidable candidate for this job is Cornell, who purports to have had great deal of experience in that field of the diamond art. Snap Hammer will probably establish his claim to the short-stop position with out opposition.
 Two outfield men of last years nine are back, namely, Lynch, left fielder and Fair, center. They will defend their titles against host of other candidates. The right-field job is wide open, with A. Dunaway and Roscoe Cox as prominent candidates.
