STAFF PRACTICE
Full Team Is Expected to Be
Out for Gymnasium Drill
BY End of Week.

wILLIAMSTOW,N. Mass, March
Coach Jack Coombs of the
Williams College baseball team has
arrived here to take charge Of
practice. Battery candidates have
been working steadily for a week
under the direction OF Captain Hoyt,
and the rest of the squad will be
called out early by the end of this
week for indoor practice.
Coach Coombs has about twenty

and hockey seasons come to an end,
for several of the Purple diamond
stars are active in those sports as
well.
A general call for candidates will
be issued later in March, but the
regular nine will probably be picked
from the list OF early candidates.
Coach Coombs will be assisted in
his work with the Williams pitchers
by Chief" Bender, former star
twirler Of the Philadelphia Athletics,
who will arrive here on March IL.
and will stay until the 18th, helping

Many Of the college squads are
indulging in spring football prac-

Then, besides, no championship
Is awarded anywhere for spring
