With Phil Sherman

This is the season which can be rightfully called the experimental stage, for no spring sport has progressed far enough to show the followers any definite trend, and in fact this writer has just returned from a motor trip to restful Savannah, where all sports were temporarily forgotten in impromptu reunions with alumni both going and coming.

We discovered that there was an alumni association in Philadelphia which is quite active and our old friend Fred Balch popped up to give us a good time. We now reserve a warm spot in our hearts for Philly even after the Arctic weather encountered during the Navy game .week-end last fall. Dartmouth alumni just seem to thrive in all climates and we met them wandering around in the United States Capitol, the Carolinas and even in the Arlington cemetery!

Just to prove that we were on a complete vacation, we blush to say that we were in three different towns Mt. St. Mary's, Gettysburg and Georgetown where the baseball team was scheduled to play, and we didn't see the games. Instead, the beautiful setting of Washington and Lee University, the military atmosphere around V. M. I. and the southern drawl of Wake Forest held the fascination.

A southern trip for the baseball team, however, is at best a practise jaunt, and even the results are not to be taken seriously. Jeff Tesreau, in fact, left three of his veterans at home, and the resulting long looks gave way to saner reasoning when the real meaning of such a move could be seen. Several promising men who had not played varisty baseball were enabled to break into the lineup on this trip, and although the team lost four out of the six games played, men were uncovered who should go far this year.
