Our battery was very strong. Gil Smith, the wicked-winged pitcher has two more fine years ahead of him, and he should surpass Thorny Mackay of blessed memory in his speed and control. In the two tough games played. Gil never failed to maintain control of his pitches, and it was not his fault that the games slipped through our pngers. Blake Childs, the plate end of the battery is a Senior, and so the team will not have the benefit of his leathery palm and lung next season. In the infeld, Senior and funiors .shared positions. Detoy on first was a consistent batter and held his errors down to a minimum. Mitchum, who kept second base from blowing into center field when the opposing batsmen started to make the rounds, has another year in him yet, as does the third baseman who must remain nameless because of so many changes at that position. Sturgis could have had the position for the asking if he ever deigned to show up for practice, but unfortunately he and Mr. Horning could not seem to agree on how Ceasar .should be translated. Beckwith showed moments of brilliance at shortstop which he played all season in spite of the fact that he had never played softball before.

Sh ,Y 'gi ...L-,.. H. 9? kwa? 1,- yg-,digg . 5 Q' b -li., and . . . and Swimming . More emphasis was plated on swimming Ibis year than in any previous season, probably because of tbe sbut-down of baseball and tbe cancelling o f the golf and tennis sebedules. As this is written. only two meets remain to be swum, the Blueb- Foxe Invitational, sometimes called the Paeifr Coast Prep Championship, and a meet will: Har- vard Military Academy. It is probably bad to speculate. but it safe to say that the latter meet will be won by sheer sujzeriority, while tbe former, in which Flintriflge will be defending champion. may well be won by eagy swimming.
