IN D E X jirr m i- V 1 9 2 5 ' i , ' - V X Outloolc for 1925 With no less than seven letter men back, all of unquestioned ability, and with an abundance of freshman material, A. C. looks forward, as we go to press, to the most successful baseball season in years. Coach Morrison has an aspiring group of pros- pects with whom to develop a winning team. Among the veterans, also, who will aid Coach Morrison in his efforts, are Captain Meadow, Kelly, Menard, Henry, Mount, Gilbert, and Furman. There is also a large coterie of promising youngsters trying for places on the team. The greatest strength of the team, at present indica- tions, seems to lie in the imqeld, where have been assembled .the fastest men ever donning Panther uniforms. The outfield also is to be well cared for by veterans and capable new men. The pitching department, too, seems to surpass its strength in the preceding season. As yet no schedule games have been played, but the following is a tentative, yet probable summary, of the games to be played: West Tennessee Normal at Memphis, April 6 and 7. Jonesboro Aggies at Walnut Ridge, April 8. Jonesboro Aggies at Jonesboro, April 9 and IO. West Tennessee Normal at Batesville, April 20 and 21. Henderson-Brown College at Batesville, May 4, 5, and 6. Jonesboro Aggies at Batesville, May I5 and 16. 69 ' .., 1 ri iLf4c'i'. -.Vi Qi. A. ...,..- ...

The line-up was exceptionally strong, and if there was a Weakness, it was in the pitcher's boxg there were not enough old heads on the mound, the main trouble being that there were not enough pitchers of any sort. Another striking characteristic of the season is the size of the scores in most of the games. The scores were very large, which fact indicates that, all in all, the Panthers were a heavy-hitting aggregation, and that they were also a little weak in fielding, their chief diversion seeming to be in seeing which could make the most errors. But in spite of all this, one canlt help praising them for the Way they soaked the old apple on the nose and literally batted their way to victory. The season opened here with a series with the lrVest Tennessee Normal. In the first game the Panthers came from behind in the ninth inning to win by a score of 5 to 4 in a fast, well played game, full of thrills for both the spectators and the players. The next day the game was a repetition of the preceding one, the Panthers coming out with the score 5 to 2 against them in the ninth inning. But they shoved across four runs to another victory, and the fans went wild. This series on the home field was followed by an eight-game trip on the road. Hawkins went, and gives something like the following account: 70 I IEHWYI. N ...-.Ag -Manuva . wnmviir-mi.:inwxniu4
