MAKING A NINE

With snow covering every available out-of-doors diamond, Coach Hazelton has found unusual difficulties in the spring training of the Dartmouth baseball team. Through an ingenious arrangement of nets in the Alumni Gymnasum, he has been able to treble the batting practice fields, however, and with excellent material available, a team better than usual should be produced.

Only three of last year's varsity were lost by graduation—Wanamaker, Parrott, and Perry, all battery men. The "D" men available from last year are E. T. Doyle '16, C. J. Eskeline '16, L. G. Perkins '16, E. R. Williams '16, B. O. Gerrish '17, C. F. Murphy '17, P. G. Osborn '17, R. G. Paine '17, and K. L. Thielscher '17. The wealth of material available from the sophomore class has strengthened the squad considerably, with Brumby, McBride, and Poole as apparently the strongest possibilities for letters. The pitching staff is on paper the weakest department, but through consistent training, Coach Hazelton has developed three pitchers of varsity calibre, Bartlett, Doyle, and Kent, who will probably be the mainstays on the mound during the spring.

The initial trip will be made to New-York shortly after the opening' of the spring recess. The first game will be played April 5 with Fordham at Fordham, followed by games with New York University on the sixth, Paterson on the seventh, the Crescent A. C. on the eighth, Seton Hall on the tenth, and Columbia on the eleventh. Returning to Hanover, the Green will open Mass. Aggies' schedule in Amherst the twelfth, and the first home game will be played with Bowdoin April 14.
