44ScrubP' Baseball Nine this Spring
, Hell coach H. C. Mcllveen, 'O7
thinks itiadvisable'to have a college
baseball team ls spring. Last
year the four nin e of the interclass
league were relied upon to glue the
varsity team practice through dairy
encounters; but this system did not
prove altogether satisfactory:) The
"scrub team" this spring shoUld be

stronger than an sing class aggre
gation was last spring and it should
be able to give the varsity daily
arguments of the ,kind that the All-'
Class Nine gave•captain Hirshpan's
team last Commencement, when the
"bigfellows" won by the narrow
Margin of 2td 1. i •
Already • a number : of the :ft)i-e-
Mose stars in the interclass league of
one year ago have been paced on
the varsity, squad, which Mcllveen
intends to maintain with over twenty
el.
men during the whol of the corn
ing baseball season. ; At the same
time each class has, been making ,pre
parations to put a good baseball
team on the field and it is possible
that the membership of the league
may be increased by admitting' the
"Specials." It is good to see more
men enjoying baseball here this
spring has ever been the case
her,etofore since baseball is an ideal
college , sport. With probably
twenty-five players on the varsity
squad E;ird I morel than , twice that
many on- the four or five interclass
stuads, a great amount of benefit
should be derived from the national
pastime this spling on New=i beaver
Field, Old Beaver Field and half a
dozed less noted diamonds.
