Penn BASEBALL
SQUAD in BUSY
WEEK OF ACTION

Philadelphia, M w 1.-TWO
league contests and another with
one of the strongest college base
ball teams in the East will keep
the University Of Pennsylvania
baseball team busy next week when
it makes its annual visit to New
England. re E
The schedule for the Red and
Blue calls for three games in as
many days. On Thursday next
Dartmouth will be met at Came
bridge. The following day Holy
Cross VII. sbe engaged at Worces-
ter and on Saturday, the trip will
close with a game at Hanover with
Dartmouth.
For this arduous series of games
Pennsylvania will be at full
strength 70 rthe first time tbs sea-
son. The return O. duty of David
Richie, first string ctatcher, who
was ineligible from the beginning
of the season until the Columbia
contest, last week, gives the Red
and Blue strength that has been
badly needed.
Ritchie's return to the good
graces Of the faculty has resulted
in the return of Jim Hauze, var
sity football center, to the infield
where he belongs. He assumed the
catching burden because no other
player was available who could
perform in the position.
4 Hauze, at secon dbase, fills q
gap that has caused the team I'M
told woe. Several have been tried
In the position but none has quail
fed either in fielding or. hitting.
In addition to the charges in
volving the catcher and second
basena an, Cariss has decided o con-
veIt the hard hitting pitcher, Lou
Edinger into. an ontfielder. In the
future he will play night field and
lend valuable support with his bat.
Poorf fielding has ruined what
ever chances the Red and Blue
had to win a high position in the
league but from now on the vet
eran, DR. Cariss expects the new
combination to provide better OPP
position than the old one did.
Andy Barton, only pitcher on the
squad with varsity experience, will
face Harvard on 4 Thursday and
Dartmouth on Saturday, with John
Horne as the pitching opponent for
Holy Cross. - ss III
