BOWDOIN SQUAD
LEAVES TODAY FOR
so. PILGRIMAGE

Bowdoin College, March 27-The
'owdoin college baseball team leaves
cmorrow morning for its annual
outhern trip during the spring re-
ess. The lineup has been decided
kept for one outfield position. A
cries of six games will be played
With teams that have had the adj
,antage Of outdoor practice. The
3owdoin men have oeen forced to
practice in the Hyde Athletic build
.ng and lack practice out on the
rassy open fields. This handicap
players have little or no experience
in collegiate baseball will prove hard
to overcome.
Nal Morrell has shifted back to
his old position of catcher with Les
Blake of South Portland as his I'M
derstudy. Gil Vaux. the promising
freshman, will not be able to go be-
cause of his studies. For pitchers
Coach Ben Hauser will take along
Southwick '25 of Reading. Mass, Red
Robinson '26 of Lewiston Wayne
Sibley '26 of Worcester, Mass. and
Horace Heldreth. Southwick is
the only experienced pitcher al
though Robinson and Sibley pitched
some games for the second team last
year. With good receiver
like Morrell to guide Them. the
new men may spring surprise by
coming through in excellent shape.
The infield has finally been settled.
Five men will go as infielders. Jake
Aldred pa of Methuen. Mass, is the
fist sacker, Dave Mclaughlin '26 will
play second, Captain Pupe johnson
Of Brownfield, shortstop; Barrett
Nichols '25 of Bath, third, and Don
Lancaster '27 Of Milo, utility infielder.
Aldred is an experienced first base
man. mclaughlin is veteran OF
last years team on which he played
third. He is n very heavy hitter.
Captain Rupe Johnson was one OF
the best pitchers IN the state last
wear, but has been moved to short
stop to fill the hole there, he has
played shortstop before on other
teams. Nichols is a fast man In the
field, but a little weak with the stick.
Lancaster Is the freshman who
threatened to take one Of the regular
ipfield positions. He will secure some
excellent experience on che trip.
The outfield is the most unsettled
part of the team. Fat Hill. former
first sacker will hold down centerfield
field, Mass, left field and Fish right
field.
There is very little hope Of the
teams winning a majority OF the
games that. it will play. The odds
are too much against it. Some ben.
efitting practice and experience VIII
be secured that will enable 1t to en-
ter the state series with a rush. The
team leaves tomorrow morning for
Boston, going from there to New
York Saturday morning for Anna
polls.
The schedule is:
March 29-Navy at Annapolis.
March 31-Georgetown at Wash
ington.
April 1-Columbia at New York.
April 2-Princetown at PrincetoWn.
