Baseballitis Breaks Out At Willamette; Season's -; Prospects Appear Rosy Spring weather betimes, has brought with it the baseball bag and some of the Willamette swat fans have already trotted out their old tips; and begun getting their throwing arms loosened up for the coming season. . ' . Basketball Is still in rogne for the Bearcats, but a few' of the dia mond men who are not perform ing on the court are thinking base ball. ' ' ; "Prospects are bright. for the coming season," said Coach Keene, taking a few moments from' his present , worries to consider the spring sport. Competition for po sitions on' the nine will be mote sharp this season than for a long while past.- -j--' - -'.;.:,. :-' ' The. positions 'of catcher and third , baseman are the only, one where lettermen are not returning.- Cardinal wofe the mask .for WillameUe last season, but will not return.- He played three sea sons for Willamette and while not battin g a? high average, occasion ally poled out home runs. Harold Hauk'a absence from 'third base this spring, will be noticeable. Jlauk wae one of the most depend able players on the team last sea son and was one: of the best hit ters. Hauk played four years on the baseball team. ' " , . "Muit" Deeta is another of. last season's conference' championship team who has played his four years of baseball for- Willamette and will not, return. "Mutt" was an outfielder, who had a well-controlled peg and played heady ball. On account - of his abbreviated height . and left-handed batting stance, he was a good lead-off man and frequently got walks to first. .Bunting and bitting were also Well within his power. Deetz was one of. the best base runners on the team and was the best slid er. Trachsel is another lettermen who will nqt return. Although he was not a regular, he was a good utility infield er. Battery Jobs Will Be Cared For I . There will be no- lack of ma terial to take the. places of these men ' however! , and competition will ; be keen, i Behind the plate Bob Houck, Messenger and Crib ble are three! of the aspirants. Houck -was on the squad last sea son and in addition to receiving the ball well, he also proved-good with the bat toward the end of the season. :; . r -: -- Both Andy Peter son and "Squeeky" WHson will be back for the pitching staff again this sea son. "Squeeky," the southpaw twirler, and Andy, the speed ball hurler, both pitched championship ball last, spring and ' in addition each, played bush league ball last summer, P.etersorf pitching for the Salem Senators.

These two highs brought in the high series count totalling 2964. Mohr, of the Bedders, flowered out with; high individual game of 279 and came within a strike of beating Hall's I league record of 288. .
