somewhat before the opening games

so after that time.

He has fine arm. Mcmahon. who
came up from the frosh crew, also
is a good thrower but. of course

ability.
May, who did the most consistent
work on the slab last year. and
Clark, who shared the bulk of mound
duty with him, are again on the job.
Gevon and Meehan, both lefthanderS

freshmen nine, and Kozak and O'Con-

pendicitis and was forced to quit for
the season.
Third Worries Maryiaud
Ii Shipley can get in two or three
days work during the week he will
have his Maryland team in pretty fair
srim for the game with Gailaudet Sat
urday. Third base stiil remains the
main problem for the Old Line coach, |
but he is hopeful that HALEY will
come through and permit him to send
his team against the Kendall Green
Grs in the way that it has practiced
in the last fou~ or FIVE sessions on the
field
The positions were occupied as fol-
Watkins, catcher; Troxeu. first
base; Pollock, second base; BesIey,
shortstop; HALEY, third base: Groves,

and Remsberg. right field.
All of these players were on the

other candidates for toll behind the

However, Gardeners experience may

Pollock will go to left.
Ship1ey will decide these matters
this week if the ground gets into
shape soon enough for him to see the
players in action two or three times
before he takes them over to Ken

Ray, with the 1928 freshmen. and
Cochran, who was out with the year
Iings for several days last spring,
also are hopeful of breaking into the
out6eld.
GaIiaudet Outlook Brightens.
Although EIstad will have to do
considerable building at Gallaudst,
the outlook is not as dark as was at
first thought, as the new class has
provided some likely looking ma
teriaI.
Bradley, who will join the squad to-
morrow will make the third candi-
date for first base. He has been the
regular first sacker for two years and
will likely get the call again. Nilsson,
a normal student at Gallaudet and
Manner. a member of the new class,
are the other two. Both are likely to
