I)r. Herbert Bolton, professor of American history at University of California, also looking at the plaque, says this is undoubtedly the “plate of brass” Drake's chroniclers 'old of his planting.

Baseball equipment costs no more than it did in the golden day before softball’s rise. Expense would hardly be a problem. Intra mural teams wouldn’t have to be equipped like Tom Yawkey’s Bed Sox. Facilities would probably permit playing only one game a day. That would be enough, at least for the first year of revival. Why not urge houses to rally ’round and enter a baseball league? The in tramural higher-ups might be sur prised at the response. * * * A regular schedule, with a game a day, could be carried on through spring term. Perhaps there’d be only a few teams, and there’d be a cozy league in which each team could play all others two or three times.

Let's have a little hard baseball on our intramural schedule. The only interesting team games on the intramural slate at present are basketball, in which the season is far too short; touch football, which the powers that be are threaten ing to abolish, and, supposedly, softball. How about it, campus organiza tions? Do we want some RKAL intramural competition?
