Elstad certainly will have a deal
of building to do to put IA team on
rhe field. Half of the Gallaudet in
field will have to be composed of new
material. Jack Seipp, last years cap
rain and third baseman. is not in
college and La Fountain and Haw-
hins, who alternated at second base
last year, also are gone.
Bradley regular first sacker, is at
hand, but will not report for prac-
sice tomorrow and may not get out
all season. Should Bradley fail tC
fall into line, Elstad may have great
trouble unearthing another capable
initial bag guardian.
Danofsky is tile only veteran in
iiclder who really can be depended
upon. He is practically certain to
get some place in the inner works. as
he is an exceptionally good ball play
er for college ranks. He can take
care Of any infieid job except that of
nrst base.
The battery aggregation will have
to be reinforced and Elstad must un-
cover some new putfelders. The
coach is hopeful of discovering a
slugger to replace Benedict, outfield-
-,r, who hit in high figures for the
Kendall Greeners in 1923.
While the makeup of the team is
something for Elstad to worry about,
the Gallaudct schedule has not both

fornance carried it to within three
