 | Haverford, Pa, April 5-As the southern trip of the Dartmouth | baseball team draws to q close with all. of the points of battle recorded in favor of the opposition, Charles AI Tesreau remains confident that the Big Green team has pitching and fielding strength sufficient to | fight it out with Pennsylvania for the championship. The veteran Hanover coach hopes to develop just one leading batsman to assist Rob- ert A. Rolfe, who in 1929 pounded the ball at .472 clip to lead all rivals in the informal campaign of the Eastern Intercollegiate league. | Tesreau hints further that Capt. Bart J. McDonough will bear watch- ing this season. despite an average ! of .120 last year.
 Following wild start against 1 Georgetown in a game at Washing ton last Saturday, Dartmouth has settled down to steadier play in the l field, and what is more important, Lauri Myllykangas and Gunnar Hollstrom have done better in the i box, even in defeat. It should be remembered that Dartmouth set out on this practice jaunt without hay ing worked outdoors for even one day and that some of the opposition down south was not the softest to be found in that section.
 l Tho nf ho ing trip has not disturbed Tesreau. whose concern over results will be- gin only on April 12 when Dart mouth visits New Haven to open Yale's home season in the Greens first official league baseball game since 1885. In the Dartmouth debut Yale will have the advantage of having played championship game against Columbia in New York three days earlier.
 Tesreau's search for batting strength is rendered the more diffi- cult because Dartmouth swatsmiths ] were not particularly impressive last year. Aside from Rolfe, the only regulars in the 300 class twelve months ago were Capt. John Park CT, who was graduated, and Harold E. Booma, the football star. Booma, who did not make the southern trip, is certain of an outfeld berth be- cause of his 1908 average in 1929, and Myllykangas may be impressed into the distant patrol between pitching turns because he hit .423 in four games last year.
 Other outfield candidates are the veterans Howard Harvey and Hal Andres and two newcomers, Mack and Barber. Harvey also is a mem- Der of the select stay-at-home circle
 but will be a regular on the squad when the league campaign starts
 Andres is counted upon to lend whatever assistance Capt. McDon. ough may need behind the bat, but
 that probably will be little. The

 Dartmouth last year except in tn,
