ATTENTION SOFTBALL MANAGERS AND PLAYERS
Softball schedules have been made by the weary hand of Nick Skimbo, Nick has
worked very hard in arranging the various teams in dates • yflzre they could be up
to their full strength. 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.
