P. Dagwell. fa.-iedaff .gn -gjalateciation Unfavorable Weather conditions consistently hampered the progress of the 1937 edition of Coach Charles P. Dagwell's baseball nine early in the season. Starting with only tour lettermen, Mr. Dagwell whipped a team of rookies into winning shape. At the time the Iune magazine had gone to press, the Green and White pastimers were boasting of a .600 average, having Won over the Indiana State School for the Deaf, 7 to U, Ben Davis, 19 to 2, and Richmond, 7 to 5, while drop- ping encounters to the strong Decatur Central aggregation, 4 to Z, and Manual of Louisville, 9 to 4. Tech's most notable win was from the Rich- mond Red Devils who had a two-year winning streak of thirty-nine straight games. ln 1936 the Red Devils had overcome the Green on three successive occasions. The remainder of the tough schedule was as follows: Shelbyville, Anderson, Deaf School, Ben Davis, Louisville Manual, and Anderson. Pitchers George Clark, Raymond Lee, and lim Weaver, and Catcher Norman Linne formed the batteries for Tech during the long campaign.
