right-field berth instead.

larly as Gordon. In the contest with
Central Rhees smashed out a homer,

pleasing to the Manual Trainer to
make this mark against the Blue and
White because of the intense rivalry
existing between the two schools. In
each of his other games he got dou-

Consideration for players on the
all-high was given only to those who
played in four games, with the e1-
ception of pitchers. There is little
doubt that Western would have had
at least two positions had three OF
its star athletes played in four CON
tests. Stevens, Dulin and Gichner
failed in their studies prior to the
Tech battle.
