VARSITY DEFEATS PRISO N N IN E
In the first real struggle of the season our varsity
defeated the state prison'.team at Salem last Saturday
afternoon 4 to 2. Superior hitting and fielding by
our tdssers and stellar pitching by Phinney easily kept
our team in the lead“ and out of danger.
Bucheri, our lead-òff man, started the scoring in the
first inning and was followed by Atkins in the fourth,
Dandro George in thè sixth and by Atkins again in
the eight, while the O.S.P. team made their markers
in the fourth and sixth innings. The seven hits reg
istered by our braves were kept ‘p retty well scattered
so that they were not directly responsible for the
scores. While the score registered by the prisoners
can be charged to the wild throwing around the bases
to catch the runners off.
A slight-change in the line-up will probably be made
before the next game and in all probability DePoe will
be given a chance to show his wares around the first
sack in place of Minthorné, who is a senior and play
ing his last year on the varsity. It is also quite likély
that Claplanhoo and Dumore will be put in the out
field positions. Although the team looks fairly well
for the first game óf the season there is considerable
nervousness both at the plate and on the field, with
men on bases', ’that will havè to be overcome i before
our tossers will be in top form.
.With-three games this week and each one a hard
one our varsity will be taxed to the limit, especially
the pitching staff, but in each game we should come
out with the long end of the score. The game with
Salem high school will be played here Wednesday-after -
noon, and the game with Mt. Angel College Friday
afternoon. Salem with a State champion nine'and Mt.
Angel', ‘easily the non-conference champions last year,
will be games that will give our tamest spectators a
thrill. Saturday the team will journey ba’ck to the
state prison to give their team another trimming.
Our schedule is now filled and Mr. Bent is busy try
ing to switch dates to make it possible for our varsity
to play in Portland on the 11th and 12th of May against
Columbia University.
