Withotit much hesitation 'the c-oa-ches agreed on one man who excelled in these qualities, and' it was with the great- est pleasure that the Yale Cup for nineteen twenty-nine was presented to Edward Davis, captain an-d stroke of the Winning' Senior Crew. A Thruston B. Morton, Head Coach. BASEBALL We l-ook back on the 1929 baseball season at Pasquaney with the great- est enthusiasm. Interest ran high and those ideals of sportsmanship for which Pasqu-aney always stands were ever prevalent. A number of games were -extremely well played and marked improvement in the participants could be noticed as the season progressed. The sport was organized this year as usual s-o as to encourage the many, and not the few, to play the game. It is our aim to increase the knowledge of tho-se who know and love the great American sport, but we also seek to afford to boys, who have had no chance, the oppor- tunity to take an active part. In an attempt to- realize our aim, three leagues were organized, the Sub- Junior, Junior, and Seni-or leagues. Every boy in Camp was included on a team in one of these three divisions. The Sub-Junior League was made up of those b-oys wh-o, because of size and age, were pro-hibited from joining a higher league. Two -teams were -organized, captained by Nes Mendoza and Julie 'Bo-wen..

The Junior League was composed of the middle-sized boys who were n-ot old enough for the higher divi- sion. The two captains of these

This pr-oved to be very interesting, and the score of 13-4 in favor of the Council, by no means indicates the closeness -of the play. Credit should especially be give-n, in this game, to Elliott for his pitching, to Hardwick fo-r his field- ing, and to Davis f-or his batting. The game was a real climax and the boys should be complimented be- cause credit is surely due them. An account of the baseball season would not be complet-e without mention -of the sever-al pick-up games th-roughout the sfeaso-n. One ofthe m-ost interesting was the fierce battle staged between '4Miracle Man Morton and His Miraculous Mi- crobes and' Lazy Lillard and His Lousey Lemons. The score, at the time of 'publicati-on, has not been decided. The special feature of the game was 'the hit of Dr. Leadbetter, an old P-asquaney boy,-a hit which is recorded in the annals of Pas- quaney baseball as the longest -one ever made on the Camp diamond. In determining the 'award of the Harvard Cup for General Excel- lence in Baseball at Camp Pasqua- ney and 'also for helpfulness and co-operati-on in the sport, there were five very likely candidates.
