1922 Baseball Prospects Although almost all our 1921 stars have left us there seems to be plenty of very promising material for a well-trained team. Our team this year is a very light one, but since we saw what a remarkable basketball team was made out of the same new, light-weight material, we certainly have a right to hope for the same success in baseball. Only two or possibly three of this year's squad can be called regular members of last year's team, but nevertheless there have been several new candidates, who, although obscure last year, are quite an asset this. The playing of our captain, George Cortada, is well known to most of us. Having been on the varsity three years, he is now an accomplished player. Even last year he was one of the stars of the outield. The weak spot is hitting, although the majority are fair with the stick, there is need of one or two real sure hitters who can be relied upon in difficult situations. I This defect, however, ought to disappear later in the season when the team is more ex- perienced by practise and training. l 76 Review of Baseball, 1921 The baseball season of 1921 was one of the most successful in the history of the school. Having won ten games and lost only two, one of which was so evenly contested that it took twelve innings for our opponents to score the decisive run, we can rightfully boast of a really superior high school athletic team. The larger part of the games were extremely one-sided in our favor and could we have foreseen the su- premacy of our team we might have scheduled more difficult games. Our captain, Colin Campbell, was the backbone of the team and showed remarkable skill both in individual playing and in his leadership and guidance over his fellow players. The only possible fault that might have been found was the evident over- confidence which seemed to develop towards the end of the season. Gur only real defeat, attained by Dwight, was probably the result of the apparent demoralization in consequence of the formidably disappointing Horace Mann game which, after the extended period of twelve innings, we lost by one run. On the whole, however, we have nothing about which to complain, for a team which comes so near getting the city championship cerf tainly proves itself excellent. fb. -a ...Ma l , J I I v 1, L . 2 1 aj, ljsgq 2-QB A cf . .
