Pitching Is unquestionably the
best asset OF a ball team.
Without good pitching ball

OF course there are other things
required IN baseball aside from
pitching.
A batting offensive IS very neces-
sary. Fielding Is a consideration.
Baserunning also has its place.

into the makeup OF every successful

The First-Central tcssers seemed

OF a showing until the final game
when they ran up II points before
Brandywine annexed the winning
number Of 21.
At only two stages In tho hrst
game did Flrst-Central secure
points. Brandywine got them by ones
ond twoes and had run up 10 before

oolnt apiece on two exchanges when

Betzmer last year, was one OF the
sensations OF college athletes IN field

OF the events IN which he was en-
tered in dual meets. but also carried
on high honors in the Middle states

llshed new Delaware records for both
the javelin and shot put and In this
line is undoubtedly the best ath-
lete who has ever worn the blue

he got last year Betzmer should even
be better this season and Il is ex-
pected he will shatter some more
records.
