Coach Parent Will
Arrive Tomorrow
to Start Baseball

Coach Parent, who is scheduled to
arrive at Colby Tuesday. will face
the same problem as baseball coach
as he did last spring. namely, the
construction of 81 pitching corps able
to stand the gaff of the state series
and the out-of- state jaunts of the
Blue and Gray ball tossers.
At the present writing, there are
II pitching candidates for the Colby
1928 nine. OF this number, one has
had considerable experience as Col
by slabman. Six others have had
squad experience but have never par
ticipated in important Maine COL
lege series games.' Three are men,
bers of the freshman class who come
with considerable experience. Upon
the success of the three freshman
hurlers to come through on the
mound will depend much of the dop-
ings of the present Colby campaign
when warm weather and the disap-
pearance of the snow and ice enable
the Blue and Gray ball tossers to
emerge from the gymnasium and
cavort on Seaverns field.
Since Porter, Colby's pitching ace
last year left college last week there
remains but one veteran, Johnny
Howard. Howard IL a junior and
came to Colby from Goddard SEM
