3-2 Revenge on MPs

Capt. Waite's 'Soft
Toss' Pops 'em Out
The tables were turned in an old
SCU rivalry Tuesday night when
thv Officers’ softball team took
the measure of the Military Police
squad by a one run margin. 3 to 2.
A previous encounter between the
two teams saw the MP’s emerge
with a 22-14 triumph.
Anyone who saw the first game
between the two teams wouldn’t
have recognized in the Officers'
team the same organizttion which
had previously bowed to the MP's.
The added dash and spirit of the
Officers bespoke a fierce determ-
ination to revenge their previous
loss.

Mountaineers Clip Sea Gulls7 Wings
The Mountaineer baseball team got off to a good start by a 16
to 10 win over the Seagulls last Saturday afternoon. Playing the
opening game of the season it was the typical first game-—full of
bo-e-head plays and spectacular catches; brilliant playing at times,
and sometimes—phooey.
Anyway both teams enjoyed plenty of
hitting and there was plenty of that good old-fashioned razzing on
I»oth sides.
Rcth. starting pitcher for the Mountaineers, was outstanding pitcher
of the afternoon. He allowed only three hits in four innings of play.
De-adier, who relieved him in the fourth, pitched fair ball at times,
but weakened at the last and was hit pretty hard, Hall and Wakefield,
feer gull pitchers, were both hit freely. Pitching for both teams as a
wl. >le was poor.
The only casualty of the afternoon was in the pre-game practice
when Kelly, Mountaineer pitcher, who was throwing them over for
the boys to hit, forgot to duck and caught one on the snoot. 1 He was
sent to the hospital with a broken nose.
The final score was:
