BASEBALL

Dartmouth's baseball season is just now rather unsettled, due to the necessity for re-arrangement because of the early date of closing college. With the renewal of former sports at Yale and Harvard, however, the indications are that these teams will be played on the diamond, and that a very substantial itinerary of games will be arranged with other colleges. A schedule was drawn up shortly before the end of the first semester, but that schedule has nowbeen largely remodelled. The schedule as originally arranged follows:

April—19, Y. M. C. A. College at Springfield; 27, Rhode Island State at Hanover; 30, West Virginia at Hanover. May—4, Brown at Hanover; 11, Tufts at Hanover; 14, Columbia at New York; 15, Army at West Point; 17, Wesleyan at Hanover; 20, Holy Cross at Hano- ver ; 22, St. Anselm's at Manchester; 23, Boston College at Chestnut Hill; 24, Tufts at Medford; 25, Brown at Providence; 28, Rhode Island State at Kingston; 29, Wesleyan at Middletown; 30, Holy Cross at Worcester. June—1, Boston College at Hanover; 17, Amherst at Amherst; 18, Amherst at Hanover (Com.).

A great deal of satisfaction arose among the undergraduates upon the final announcement that College would be closed at an earlier date than had been scheduled. Examinations are to be held from May 16 to 24, and Commencement season will extend from May 25 to 27, inclusive.

Two former Dartmouth varsity football stars were placed on the mythical all-American second football team composed of men now in the service in France. The men were C. A. Pudrith '16 and F. J. Dusossoit '18.

In the one track contest which the past month has seen, Dartmouth went down twice to defeat, once before Bowdoin and once before Tech. Coach Hillman entered a one-mile relay and a twomile relay team in the Boston A. A. games February 2. The one-mile team would have brought home a victory if it had not been for an unfortunate slip of Hamm, who collided with Wyman of Bowdoin and in the spill lost the baton.

One of the musical events of the month was a recital in Robinson Hall by Mrs. Lafayette Goodbar. This soprano presented a varied program of modern music and was well received by the music loving part of the College.

W. D. Hulbert 'lB has been elected captain and P. F. Tusting '18 manager of the gym team. A small squad of men is working under the direction of Coach Kaney in preparation for later meets. Tentative dates for several meets have been set but the uncertainty of having teams in the other colleges makes impossible any definite plans.

Under the auspices of the Outing Club a series of three preliminary outdoor meets have been held within the past three weeks. In these meets the freshmen have carried off most of the points, having chalked up 98 points from the total of 151. W. P. Fowler '21 proved a consistent man on the snowshoes and won the cup offered by the club for the highest individual score with a total of 30 points. S. M. Frederiksen '21 took second place in the competition with 22 points to his credit, and S. A. Densmore '21 was third with 20 points.

The Outing Club trip to Mount Washington this year was taken by 25 men. The notable feature of the trip was the descent, which was made on skis and which was unusually rough due to work being done on the roads at the time.

Dartmouth will debate Brown on March 22. Practise is going on at present, and J. E. McDonough '18 and H. L. Childs '19 look like the best material out for the team.

Freshman averages are unusually high this semester, according to a report just issued from the registrar's office. Fifteen freshmen have averages of 3.2 or better, and ten of these have over 3.4. O. H. Hicks leads the class with 3.8, R. W. Elsasser is second with 3.7, while R. R. Wells and K. A. Yeaton are tied for third with averages of 3.6.

Freshman elections for the second semester a. short time ago resulted in the election of O. H. Hicks, president; G. B. Harris, Jr., vice-president; F. A. Ross, Jr., secretary; R. W. Elsasser, treasurer; and J. W. Hubbell, college club representative.

In accordance with a new ruling adopted last fall by the Athletic Council, the following freshmen have been awarded their numerals for having played with the varsity football squad last season: G. N. Brown, N. W. Crisp, H. B. Garland, J. F. Graydon, V. R. Grundman, J. V. A. Hasbrook 2nd, N. Kadison, J. T. Murphy, H. W. Presson, P. Rosenthal, P. G. Sanderson, J. G. Shepherd, H. W. Schulting, Jr., L. H. Weld, J. K. Whetton. Of these Murphy, Presson and Shepherd were awarded their letters for having played in the regular letter games.
