l After a lapse of some years, baseball has very defi- nitely come back at the Academy, if one is to judge by the interest manifested and support accorded the team by the Cadet Corps. Over seventy-five boys re- ported upon the call of the coaches last spring. With such a goodly squad, the coaches were able to develop a very creditable organization, characterized especially by good pitching and hitting. The team made a very creditable showing in Mid- South competition, winning a majority of its games. The baseball team of 1951 was a heavy hitting, fast fielding outfit. Battery strength prevented the moulding of a championship team. The shoes of Joe Sislc, pitcher of no-hit game, were as yet unfilled. A strong nucleus of players will return for the coming year and a num- ber of promising 'irookiesn are available. Hopes are high for another winning team.

Quartered in Daytona Beachts finest hotel and attended by members of the Shrine club, the Castle Heights team spent a memorable week which was climaxed by the game with Bullis Prep. Despite a 20-7 loss, the Heights cadets made a lasting impression in Daytona Beach. Their oft-the-Held conduct and on-the-field fight won the applause of the thousands who saw them. It was not at all hard worlr and scrimmage tor the Castle Heights tootball representaa tives as this picture shows. Castle Heights cadets visit tamous alligator tarms and seem to be devoid ot tear ot these scaly monsters. The game itself was the old story of superior numbers and maturity vs. a team limited by strict eligibility rules. Bullis marched to an early touchdown but Heights came back to tie the score 7-7 on a pass from Ed Baker to Tommy Robertson. Outweighed and outmanned, the Tigers fought all the way but yielded two additional touchdowns. Otticials of the Bowl were lavish in their praise of the Heights team and a return engagement was promised for the future. swag sf? K :Egg is if uf?
