BASEBALL PRACTICE TO BEGIN WITH A BANG •MONDAY, RAIN OR SHINE Thirty Candidates Out, Many Letter .Men and Former Frosh Available STRONG TEAM PREDICTED Eight to Contest for Pitcher's Job, Four for Catcher, Ten Infield— Stars for Outfield Official practice for the Varsity baseball nine will commence Mon day, according to the announcement made by Coach “Shy” Huntington, and from the present outlook there will be a banner turnout. A number of aspirants have been going out for the past two weeks and about 30 men of experience either on the Var sity or the frosh teams of former iears, have signified their intentions f joining the squad as soon as practice begins in earnest. “Monday, rain or shine,” was the verdist of “Shy” when asked as to the date when the squad would be called out, “and I expect to see a big turnout. If it rains, we will get busy witli some inside workouts.” Team Looks Strongest in Years According to the available material which is on the campus this season, the Varsity nine will be one of the strongest turned out in several years. Although a definite schedule of games is not yet available, tentative dates call for games with Washing ton State, University of Washington, O. A. C., Stanford, Whitman, Idaho, Willamette, Multnomah club and pro bably a few others to be arranged as the season advances. The nine will probably take a northern trip this year which will include games as far north ns Moscow and Pullman. Letter men will be available for practically every position except the catcher’s Job, ulthough this does not signify that they will not be given u battle for their place on the nine tills season. In addition to the mem bers of last year’s team which will be out, there are also a number of letter men who played on the Var sity squad in pre-war days and a number who made excellent showings on the frosh teams of former seasons. Battery Jobs Sought by Many Four candidates will probably be out for the catcher’s position, as far us is now known. These include Vince Jacobberger, who caugiit for the frosh last year, "Bart" Laughlin, who handled the receiving job for the frosh nine In 1917, Bob Earl who has worked on the Varsity, and "Spike” Leslie, who has been playing army baseball for the past two sea sons. At present the prospects tor a plentiful supply of pitchors appears to he good although It will he sev eral weeks before a line on the most likely looking material for this Job can be selected. Knudson and Jacob son were both members of th3 frosh nine in 1917 and made good in the box, Art Berg was a member of the Varsity squad in 1918, Walt Kennon worked with the Varsity squad in 1917 and Kddie Durift) showed up to advantage on last year’s team. Dick Shimm and Mare Latham both went good for the frosh team lust season and 1 ranees Jacobberger is also men tioned as a possibility. It is practi cally certain that all of these men will be out for the pitchers’ stall’ and there will no doubt be more who will show up later. Big Fight for Infield The prospects for a strong infield are equally as good, with llerm Lind, captain of this year's squad out for first, along with George Black and Roy Vcatch of last year's frosh nine. Vince Jacobberger, Rodney Smith, “Sheet" Manerud, Bill Collins, Carl Liehe. "IMnty" Moore. Jay Fox, John ny Houston and Johnny Finneran, are other infield candidates who are ex pected to show up strong. Manerud, Collins and Liehe worked on the frosh nine of lust year. Houston is a let ter man from last year's nine, while Jay Fox was a member of the Var sity in pre-war days. Johnny Fin nerun is not in school at present, but is expected to return for the spring term. Letter Men for Outfield The outfield Is going to be strong this year with three letter men trying out for the job in addition to the other candidates who will probably turn out for it. These are "Bill” Steers, who made his letter in 1918, John Gamble, who played with the Varsity nine last year, and "Bill' Reinhart who made his letter at short last year, but who is going out for a job in the outer garden this eeason. Lind, Knudson, Black, Manerud, Vince Jacobberger and Bill Steers can all be depended on ,for heavy sluggers, and batting averages on the Varsity will be well up if these men can keep their record of former years.
