1 N D E X 1 9 2 5 A 4Ml 71f?pjr e - The First game was played at Walnut Ridge against the Jonesboro Aggies, and resulted in a I3 to 8 victory for the Panthers, in a game full of clean hits. The fol- lowing day, the two teams clashed at Jonesboro. The Farmers won this very erratic affair by a score of I9 to IO, when the game was called on account of darkness. The best game for the Panthers of the entire trip was next played, the game in which the Panthers took a five-run lead in the first three innings and in which they won, 8 to 5. The next stop was at lVIemphis, wherelthe final game of the series with West Tennessee Normal was played off. The Teachers won a close game by a 9 to 7 score. Infield errors helped to increase the Normal score. . At Clarksville, the following day, the Panthers met the Southwestern Presbyte- rian University, and the same teams played again the next day. All the Panthers seemed to find hits in their bats, and won both games by top-heavy scores, 21 to I4 and I6 to 9, respectively. 5 Coach Morrison's home town, Mclienzie, was favored on April 24, in a two- game series with Bethel College, The first game resulted in I2 to 4, the second, 8 to 5, both in favor of Bethel College. The Panthers then came home and wound up the season with a two-game series with the Jonesboro Aggies. The boys were victorious by a score of I9 to IO the first day, but lost to the Farmers the second day by an 8 to 5 score. The team is to be congratulated on its successful season, and on the record it has made both as a strong aggregation and as a group of gentlemen, of whom the college is justly proud.

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
