He expects to be quite shallow in the field c WU Trackmen, Bailers Work After a week of light and in fo r m a 1 workouts, Willamette's baseballers and trackmen are this week getting in their first heavy sessions between rain showers. John Lewis, 'Cat diamond men tor, Monday had SI candidates IS of them mound aspirants working out on the new Bush field. Lewis, with eight lettermen listed among his crew along with a batch of promising freshmen, expects the '49 club to be defin itely a better outfit than that of last year. The infield shapes up as one of the team's stronger points and the squad's power pos sibilities are encouraging. The pitching outlook is uncertain. Letterman Roy Harrington, a reliable mittman in '48, will han dle most of the backstop duties. Righthanders Howard Olson and Lou Scrivens, both starters last season, and John Slenchik, let terms n of two years back, carry good share of the pitching hopes. Other monogramers are Infleld er Bruce Barker and Outfielders Bob Douglas, Chuck Bow and Bob Lakie. The ball campaign op ens April 1st against OCX at Mon mouth. Meanwhile Jerry Lillie has been busy with his tracks ters on Sweet land field. Lillie is not overly op timistic about his cinder squad's chances this year what with only two lettermen included In a turn out of 32. They are Ted Mertz, high jumper and hurdler, and Wes Stauffer, a. distance man. However, the 'Cat mentor has a number of freshmen on hand who showed talent in prep ranks.

They tell us Borcher is paid over $8000 per year at Marshfield to coach. If so, we'd say he certainly gives 'em their money's worth . , .
