York alumni. They will play Colum
bia' University on Monday afternoon
and New York University on Tuesday
afternoon. They will leave New York
Wednesday morning for Princeton
playing Princeton University We'd
nesday afternoon and then to Phila-
delphia where the Philadelphia alum
nj viii entertain the players prior to
the L. Of Penn. game on Thursday.
On Friday morning they proceed to
Newark. Del, and meet the L. Of
Delaware team Friday afternoon
which is the last game of the trip.
The team will then return to Bruins
wick in time for the opening of col
lcge, April II, after the Easter vaca-
ton.
This trip is the longest a Bowdoin
baseball team has ever made. i
comes, however. during the annual
Easter vacation and thereby the
players will only miss a few day IS
from college work.
Coach Ben Houscr has two good
pair of batteries. He has Captain
Pete Finn and Freddie Walker as
twirlers and Nal Morrell and Jack
Handy as backstops. Handy has de-
reloped his batting eye a lot this
spring over last and he should go
well. The other two pitchers, Rupert
Johnson and Lawrence Southwick
whom Coach Houser will take along
with him on the Southern trip arr
still unknown factors. They look
pretty we'll in practice but as yet do
not show the Caliber of the two vet
eran twirlers. Paul McGouldrick. the
freshman southpaw, who has been
going like house af1re in practice, is
Ineligible owing to studies ard will
not be able TO pitch at all this season.
Coach Houser will probably get
along all right on this southern trip
with his two veteran pitchers and the
other two auxiliary men because the
hard games are we'll divided up. Just
what he will do on the New England
trip a little later where every game
is tough game is a question.
The Bowdoin coach plans to use
Freddie Walker in the opening game
of the season with Annapoli Walker
looks better than ever and 1t appears
as though he ought to have a banner
year. The crafty baseball mentor will
save Captain Pete Finn to go against
West Point on Saturday. It is the
desire of the Bowdoin team if possible
to wipe out the stigma of the 900
football defeat handed to Bowdoin two
wears ago last Fall. He plans to send
back Freddie Walker into the Prince
ton game and Captain Finn in the t.
of Penn. game, the same assignments
as last year. Rupert Johnson will
pitch the New York University game.
He may use Walker for the Columbia
go against L. of Delaware.
Joe Smith on the third sack is in
much better shape than last season
around this time. He isn't so heavy
as last year and is snappier on the
field. AL. l1orrell at shortstop. like the
other veterans, looks improved and in
finer condition. Fat Hill has been
pulled in from right field to cover the
first sack, left vacant by the craua :
ton of Don Clifford. Hill is natural
ball player and performs very we'll al
| though he is little sluggish and as
yet not quite snappy enough in his
fielding and base running. Second
base is the big question mark in the
inf1eld. The loss of Bill Necdlcman.
last years captain. who was a snappv
ball player with excellent Judgment.
will be keenly felt in the makeup
of the infield this season. Al. Gibbons.
Bowdoin's star football PLAYER. has
been picked by Coach Houser for the
second sack. He looks pretty well on
the bag. but it remains to be sccn
how he will go in a game. He hasn't
had the experience that the other ball
players on the team have had and his
Judgment is not quite so accurate, al
though he will undoubtedly acquire It
Jas the season goes on.
Sid Graves Big Aid
Sid Graves. one of the stars on tho
Augusta Millionaire team last sum-
mer, VIII be big aid in the outficld.
He will cover centerfeld with Dave
Neodlcman in his old position at left
field and George Davis in tho right
garden. Ecd Jones. freshnan from
Exeter. will he used as utility man
but he has come so fast in the pa ST
week that it wouldn't be surprising to
see him playing regular soon. Hc
Will take the place of Sid Graves any
way during the Maine State series be-
cause the transfer rule will bar the
blonde outfielder from the Maine
championship games.
