Our next game was with Harvard, and, as usual, it was a morale buster. The Harvard team romped over us and left us on the short end of a 9 to 2 score. However, in the Black-Foxe game that followed, we won an 8 to 7 victory, With this encouraging show- ing and the able leadership of coach Wood, the team goes on to an exciting, if not victorious, future. The line-up, as it stands when we go to press, is as follows: Pitchers, Mansfield Smith, Dan Payne, Dick Crandall, Francis Cobb, Catcher, Dick Hughes, First Base, Howard Hastings, Second Base, Bill Hoop, Short Stop, Wally Bair, Fred Kresserg Third Base, George Petrie, Fielders, R. Hickie, Turner, Hecht, E. Taylor, K. Nicol.

BASEBALL . The baseball season this year started out on a rather exciting note. After about a month's practice, the team went to Brookside Park to play Spanish American Institute. The boys knew they were going to have a tough time of it the minute they saw the S. A. I. pitcher warming up. He had a very fast and consistent pitch. As we expected, the game turned out to be hard-fought and close, with S. A. I. coming out on top with a 2 to 1 victory. A few disastrous errors showed that our boys were a little green, but on the whole they looked decidedly promising.

amd SWIMMING The swimming schedule has been successfully held up by Il talented group of boys this year. The defeats they have suffered have been partly due to sickness and partly due to the overwhelming size of the schools, like Whittier, that they were swimming against. The Hrst trial was the Mid-winter Relay Championship, held at Whittier. Although Flintridge was competing with fifteen other schools, all of which had at least 700 or 800 boys in their student bodies, our A team managed to come out in 4th place and our C team lost first place to Beverly Hills by the narrow margin of two points. Our first dual meet was with the strong Whittier team at their pool. Wfhittier won both A and B honors but our mighty, little men of the CH team took first place. In the A division, Slaught took first place in diving, to continue his perfect record, while Cutting took a hrst and second, Skillen a second, and Kingsley, Phillips and Ken- month took thirds in their events. Our A s won the four- man relay.
