He had played four years on the Highland teams and, according to the conference ruling, was not eligible to wha play for a fifth year. Coach Ferrell had a squad of men working out daily in the ' is gymnasium before the weather permitted any outdoor work. A series of practice games was arranged with the Western League team, but on account of the weather conditions, only one game was played. Although Highland was beaten 10 to 0, Coach Ferrell was able to get a line on the men from which he had to select a team. Two games were played before the opening of the schedule and Highland had little trouble in winning both. Captain McCauley, Macomber, Veach and Cunningham, all letter men of 1916, were back on the teamg Vest, Watson, Ellis, Hinton and Laurence made up the rest of the team. Laur- ence reported to the Three-I League before the season was hardly started. He was a depend- able man in the pitcher's box and was a big loss to the team. . May 2d, Highland journeyed to Sioux City for two games with Morningside. The first game was lost 'I-0 with Laurence pitching. In the second game, on May 3d, Shaver and Veach were both used, but neither could stop the heavy hitting of the Morningside team and the game was lost 11 to 2. May 8th, Highland defeated Central 13 to 1 on the home field. Cunningham was in the box for Highland and Noble played at third base. Central's pitchers were ineffective and were found for many extra base hits. May 9th, Cunningham pitched against the State Teachers and Highland won 5 to 3. The game was close from start to finish. The State Teachers had the advantage untilithe seventh inning, when u base on balls and two hits, coupled with an error, gave Highland the advan- tage 4 to 3. The final score was added in the eighth inning on a three-base hit and an infield Otll. May 14th, Highland played Central and won 7 to 2 with Cunningham pitching. . May 16th and 17th, Morningside came here for a two-game series and won both games, 18 to 6 and 5 to 0. Ellis reported for a tryout with the Western League team before these games and Coach Ferrell caught both games because he was unable to find a man to replace him. ln thc final game of the season, on May 19th, Highland lost to Cornell 6 to 2.
