About twenty-five men were in uni

the only men trying for tjhe backstop

out. The pitching department Is still
the strongest. Townsend, Morse and
Beltzer of last year's team are out, and
also Adams, a Freshman from Wahoo.
The first came Is still several weeks

reason for not deferring the election to

riobhble that a tournament between
the clubs of the two institution will

during the latter part or May. If this

that a return meet will he scheduled
