Varsity Baseball Practice.
On Monday the Freshmen lined
up against the varsity nine in what
was the first of a series of practice
contests for the college team. The
other classes took their turns in
meeting captain Hirshman's aggre
gation and a regular schedule of
varsity-versus-class games has been
posted by manager Wilcox. Dur
ing the rest of this month and all
through April, when the varsity is
not busy, these struggles will take
place. Since the last issue of The
Collegian the squad has had some
valuable outdoor work and there is
no room for the pessimists yet.
Captain Hirshman is pleased with
the work of the team, especially
that of the pitchers, and State men
need not fear that the nine will dis
grace itself on the trip which opens
one week from today at Annapolis.
