He has revised the schedule twice and that second revision is the last—providing nothing drastic happens. Therefore, the Student Athletic Committee has decided that the schedule printed here in this paper must be followed to the letter. Failure for any team to present themselves on the diamond when they are scheduled to play will result in a forefit. If complications arrise, the managers must notify the Athletic days before a requested postponement date. Managers cannot arrange the dates of ganes among themselves. The Student Athletic Committee arranges games. The managers will be notified when rainecUout games and postponed games will be played. They- the managers- must inform their ball clubs of the changes. The soft ball games will be played ad scheduled. iib« R • H • Blue Jays Onderko, l.f, Kakaley, c?,3b Prokop, s. s. Turribach, 3b,p. Mitchell, c. Kobrick, 1 b Helock, 2 b Sirota, l.f. Tomsho, p.,c.f.
