BASEBALL

"Jeff" Tesreau has become connected with the Recreational Department of the College, and has been engaged to guide our baseball destinies for three more years. He will give in the future, as in the past, expert, careful and intelligent tuition to his squad.

The baseball schedule will undergo radical change. Recent faculty demands are that it be abbreviated, and that the travel of teams particularly be diminished. We have recently formulated arrangements with Columbia, Cornell, and Pennsylvania providing for a three-game series in each case. In addition to the trips to play the teams just mentioned we will continue to meet Princeton, Harvard, Yale, and Brown, but we will be unable, although willing, to meet the teams of some of the smaller institutions with whom our rivalries have become continuous and traditional. It is now planned that the home games at Prom will be this year with Columbia and Pennsylvania, and that Cornell will appear in Hanover at Commencement. Dartmouth fills the Alumni Day date at Franklin Field, the most important on the Pennsylvania list.

The Memorial Day date at Worcester with Holy Cross, which has provided a contest full of interest for many years, will be absent from the schedule owing to an agreement for that day reached by Holy Cross with another institution. It seems likely that April 19th will be substituted. The game with Harvard, it is expected, will be a late season contest. On May 30th we may meet the University of Vermont at Burlington.

A southern trip early in April last year brought good results, justifying repetition. Headquarters will be established in Washington and games are arranged with teams in that vicinity. On the way north for the last two dates we will meet Pennsylvania at Philadelphia and Columbia at New York.

For the first time during his service at Dartmouth it would seem that Coach Tesreau will be amply supplied with pitchers. In addition to the pitching talent from last year's squad there are at least three men of promise from the freshman team and one likely transfer, seeming to guarantee a choice for box work for each contest from a number of capable performers ending the ne cessity for reliance upon one man or of manufacturing pitchers from men trained in other positions.

Loss of material from the varsity team has been serious. One lone veteran remains in the infield and the outfield suffers similarly from graduation.
