Freshmen and Second String Men Look Promising; IS Games Scheduled. With a hard schedule and only six letter men in college chances for a suc cessful year of hasebal! look poor at present. The varsity program calls for about 18 gam os and only one slab ar tist of varsity experience back. Bill Tuerck. star artist on last year’s squad, is back but it ineligible because of the four year rule, so the bulk of the work in the conference games will un doubtedly fall on >Scoop Rathbun, who is the oniy experienced man on the pitch ing corps. Shy Huntington, catcher for two seasons, is back and anxious to don the pad and mit. He will be a big factor in making up a championship team. “Anse” Cornell, captain and short ' stop on last year’s team is also among the missing, as he graduated last June. Cornell's batting prowess and clever fielding will be sorely missed. Maison, third base, Sheehy, outfielder, Grebe, second, and Captain Nelson at first are back and will form the nucleus around which Coach Bezdek will fashion his in ner works. The outfield suffers the worst from the loss of men. Medley is out of school and may not return. Sheehy is back and will be seen in the center garden. Among the second string men and freshmen of last year who will be out for positions are: Jake Risley, sub-catch er and outfielder; Knighton, pitcher; Wilson, pitcher; Fox, infielder; McCre die, outfielder; Farley, infielder; Hu:-n. outfielder; and Alexander.
