without the Indoor drill altogether and
lengthen the, outdoor practice.

to get their arms limbered up, while the

soft ground"
Bright Prospects
DR.. Cariss was asked about the pros.
poets for the coming season, and he
waxed enthusiastic. 1--WE should have
"a good team IL all the members OF last
years team and the freshman from the

sfairly successful season considering that
SC was necessary to 80 through the en-
Stire schedule with recruit pitchers,
"This year with the experience they

have Walter Huntzinger back in the
box after an absence Of a year, and
