INITIAL ROUND Of
COLBY INTER-FRAT
MEET STARTS WE'D.
Especial to Kennebec -ournal)

waterville, April 12-Coach Mike
Ryan Of the Colby track teams has
announced that the initial round Of
the annual internationally track win
be run off next Wednesday afternoon
and the three other rounds will be
beid on successive Wednesday after
moons until May Z. This year the In
termural meet is being held consid-
erably later than has been the usuaf
custom but the schedule Of the var
sity track teams has been such that
Coach Ryan has been compelled to
put off the meet several times and
finally announced that the first round
would be held next Wednesday after
noon.
The events which Coach Ryan has
announced will be contested on this
coming Wednesday afternoon will be
as follows: so yard dash, 600 yard
run, 1 Ia mile run, throwing the
javelin, putting the shot, running
broad jump, pole vault and the ham,
mer throw. This year, Coach Ryan
has introduced q new event into the
meet in the javelin throw. This
event has become very popular
through the eastern colleges ana has
promises OF becoming regular event
in the Maine intercollegiate Track
and Field Meet in the course of a
year or two. Coach Ryan hopes to
develop some men in this event who
/ will be able to place If this event is
enter ed in the State Meet in a year
or so.
This year the meet should attract
a considerable bit of attention as
there will be some stiff competition.
The strongest teams, at least on
paper, seem to be the Delta Kappa
| Epsilon, Lambda Chi Alpha and AL
pha Tau Omega teams. In these
three fraternities there are some of
| the best track men in college and
the competition should be about as
stiff as could be found. The PHI
Theta's have a fast man in Mittles-
| dorf who will undoubtedly capture
| the short dashes and the Zeta Psi's
| have about the best weight man in
| college but the rest OF the material
| seems to be in the first three men,
| toned fraternities. The Delta Kappa
Epsilon aggregation will have Rear
| on in the dashes while the lambda
Chi's have E. FranSen, E. Taylor, G.
| Taylor, II. Franscn and several other
good men to rely on.
l. Coach Ryan first inaugurated the
intermural tournament in 1921 when
| the Alpha Tau Omega aggregation
cleaned up and were awarded the
Druid cup for first place. The fol-
| lowing year the Dekes crashed
| through and won the meet in the finla
| round, just barely ousting the A. T.
O's. Last spring the Zetes pulled
| through in fine style in the final
round after it looked as though it
might be either the Dekes or A. T.
O's. year.

Inter-Class Games
In Order for COny ~.
Ball Crew This Week

Coach Thompson had his crew Of
baseballers at Capital park Satur-
day for their workout. Instead of the
regular practice work little spice
was added to the regular program in
the form of a scrimmage game. Two
teams were formed and they worried
along for five innings. The game
was not finished as It was cold and
raw on the field and Coach was not
anxious for his players to hav a lot
OF sore arms and muscles.
The men performed in good style
and by today or tomorrow the inter-
class baseball series will be started.
The teams will draw for the team
they are to play. the sophomores pro-
badly facing the freshmen and the
juniors the seniors. According to
the way the men shape up the most
interesting game would be between
the juniors and seniors, as they have
the most experienced men. The
games will be played at Capitol park
and will probably take two or three
days to run off.
New uniforms have arrived, but
they will not be given out until after
the class series. The inter-class
series will give Coach a chance to get
line on his men and probably after
the games the squad will be cut to
about 90 or 25. At present about
30 aspirants are out for a chance to
make the team. - .sawun
The season will start off with a
set-to with the alumni, as is the
usual custom. The game will be
played a week from today. George
Martin has charge Of the alumni
team and it is said that he has been
scurrying around gathering in q
flock Of ex-Cony's best and will have
a team that will give the Cony boys
real battle.
Coach at present is passing a great
deal OF time with his pitching pros
poets. According to the way the men
shape up, Gregoire. Burns, Aubin and
Poor handle the ball in the best style.
-Four other men, Webb, Bradstreet.
Norcross and Sawyer also saow up
good on the mound. The pitching
STAN. however. as wen 6s the rest
OF the inner and GUITAR garden posi-
tons will not be decided on until
after the class games, or the alumni
game at the latest.

ELM CITY GUNNER
TRIM LOCALS IN
WEEKEND SHOOT

The Waterville Country Club gunners
again took the measure of the outfit
representing this city Saturday but
were forced to do much better work to
gain the decision this week, getting
away with narrow margin Of nine
points. The defeat was really decided
gain for the locals, who were trimmed
to the tune of q 3o-point margin last
week when these two clubs met In
their first duel of the season.
The match, 500-point affair. was
featured by some brilliant shooting on
the part of both teams. Duffy Blaisdell
Of the winners was high man, scoring
"A out of a possible SO points. He was
hard pressed for honors by George
Stobie, who scored 43, and Sidney
Getchell with AZ.
L. d. Flynt, G. Nelson and Dana
Hanks of the local club ended in a
deadlock, each having run up score OF
SO. The showing Of the Augusta club
was very encouraging considering their
previous defeat at the hands of the up
river team and should hold their own
from now to the end, Of the season.
The Watervilie traps will be in con-
dition next week and the Augusta boys
are cordially invited to attend the
Wednesday afternoon shoots which
take place throughout the summer in
the Elm City. If plans are carried
through, the Augusta traps will be in
stalled about the first of May.
These weekend shoots are well at
tended and the club representing the
Capital City deserves the support OF
the fans. Considering that the Water
Vile club is ranked as the classiest
outfit in the State, the locals must rank
very high as opponents of the trap
game and should give the lovers OF the
sport some good exhibitions this sea-

PARENT GETS Line
ON MEN PRACTICE
GAME SATURDAY
Special to the Kennebec JournaD

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
waterville, April 1.-THE FIRST
practice game of the season was held
this afternoon between the first and
second teams at Colby college. re-
sulting in some work that met with
the approval OF Coach Freddie Par
emit. The teams lined up in the af-
ternoon with practically no men in
places that they will ultimately play
but before the end of the game,
Coach Parent had used up practic
ally every one of his 80 odd men
that were out and had q good line
on all of them.
Starting on the so-called first
team were Muir and Shanahan as
the battery, MCGOWAN at the initial
sack, Cutler at the Keystone sack,
Carson on the hot corner. Capt.
Fransen at short stop, Ev. Fransen
in the right field gardens. center
leld was covered by Lorinsky, and
Howard in the left side of the field.
On the second. Mason and Whelpley
did the battery service with Dunton,
first base, Nickerson at second. An
derson at the hot corner, Maxwell at
short, O'Dennell in the right field
gardens. Peabody at center and Mil
let at left.
Porter replaced Muir after two in
nings for the first team, Coulman
relieved Mason for the seconds at the
same time. Weymouth relieved Por-
ter after two innings and Saucier
took Coulman's place on the sec
onds. All hurlers were given two
innings of work by Coach Parent
and then sent in as the cold wind
was not exactly in favor of them.
No changes were made in the rest
of the teams until after the third in
ming, when numerous men were sent
in to play the rest Of the game. Some
of the men who played today looked
like mighty good material and now
that Coach Parent has a line on all
of the men, he will take the rest of
next week to develop two strong
teams which should put up quite an
argument against the University of
Maine gang on Saturday afternoon.
Among the pitchers there were
several, who. in spite OF the raw cold
wind which swept up the field,
showed up fairly well. Mason SEEM
ed to have good deal Of control
over the bali but was hit rather
often by some of the first team men.
Muir looked as good as there was out
and his two innings were pitched in
good style for the opening game. He
has fast left handed ball that
seems to get the opposing batters in
hole. Coulman looked good while
he was in the box for the seconds
| and was hit little the two innings he
was hurting. All of the pitchers did
little with the ball under orders from
Coach Parent as he does not want
| any sore arms on the team this
spring with his few pitchers.
Some Of the hitting today was
good. both Fransens, Cutler, Nc
Gowan and Lorinsky landing on the
ball for the firsts and Whelpley,
| Dunn and Peabody for the seconds.

COLBY BALL SQUAD
UNDERG0ES final
PRUNING BY PARENT

Especial to The Kennebec JournaI)
waterviile. Apr. 13.-The final cut
In the Colby baseball squad was
made tonight by Coach Parent and
four men were dropped from the
squad as the last axe was welded
by The Blue and Gray mentor. The
men who were pruned from the
squad tonight were Colby, Pike,
Pierce and Rood. It is understood
that two Of these men were ineligible
to play and Coach Parent desires
to ge: al men who might not be in
line for playing away SO that he can
devote all of his time to the mate
rial on hand.
The squad this year has been
nearly IS percent larger than 1t has
been fin previous years and Coach
Parent has been hampered with SO
many men out. The cuts this year
were .aade in rapid succession SO as
to enable the Blue and Gray coach
to get his team assembled and some
work done before the opening game
of the season.
1t is understood that Mason. the
colored hurler who has been look
ing mighty good the last few days
out, will leave college the first OF
this week as he is below In his
studies and not able to keep up with
his college courses. Mason was un-
able to pass sufficient courses the
first semester to play on the. varsity
but Coach Parent was hoping to use
him on the seconds.
Monday afternoon the teams will
| be sent through a hard afternoon
workout to do away with some OF
the glaring errors that were made
in the game Saturday afternoon and
undoubtedly there will be a three or
four inning game between two Dick
ed teams. Work this week will oe
of the hardest variety as there are
only FIVE days in which to whip the
team into shape before the Maine
game here on Saturday afternoon.
