Both batsmen are power hitters, as evi denced by the homers they pound ed out in the ATO fray to pace their team to an important win. The Theta Chi boys will field a well-balanced team this afternoon combining plenty of hitting power and a pair of top - rate hurlers, Paul Sowers and Tommy Wright. Records reveal that the hilltop gang have never been limited to less than eight runs in a single round-robin encounter.
