With PHIL SHERMAN

Perfect weather and a team which was capable of playing well proved that Dartmouth was one of the best baseball colleges in the East this Spring, as the Green Indians played to full houses during their long home series which brought the leading teams of the East to Hanover.

At this writing Dartmouth is playing .500 baseball, which has been the consistent position in the percentage column since the season began. With a schedule which called for games exclusively with League teams save one, the Indians were under the handicap of having to be keyed up for every game, which was a very large order.

So it was only natural that the team would rise to the heights in one game only to slump in another contest; and schedule difficulties took their toll. The Green was called upon to play three League games in two days against the best teams in the circuit. At that Dartmouth took the Friday game from Pennsylvania and split the double header with Yale on Saturday.

In order to gain an official place in the Eastern League averages, a man must play at least three games at one position, and early in the month it actually appeared as though only a couple of Dartmouth infielders would make the statistics, so many shifts had been made. Jeff Tesreau experimented with all sorts of lineups and several of the men have played three different positions in League contests.

Hank Barber was injured just after the Cornell game, and Roald Morton, who made his debut as a second baseman in that game, was shifted to first. Loppy Rich played shortstop in two games, and then Tommy Maskilieson was moved over to that position for the rest, and Buster Snow, who started as a shortstop against Princeton, came in from right field to take over the third base job. Come to think of it, Rich played second base in the Princeton game, also giving him a three position listing. The only men who have held their positions consistently throughout the League schedule are Capt. Deak Mack in left field and Jake Edwards in center field. The situation is somewhat comparable to the basketball season when the team was shifted for nearly every game.

VARSITY INFIELD Roald Morton, first base; Jimmy Chesnulevich, second base; Tom Maskilieson, shortstop; and Buster Snow, third base
