' The team was organized rather late ,in the season and was only able to book two college games. However, out of the six games played, Chicago- Kent was at the long end of the score on four occasions. The battery, Dave Neuman and Dutch Kaiser 'was largely responsible for the team's succeess. Dave formerly attended DeKalb Normal and performed on the mound in great fashion, while Dutch completed his baseball education at the Uni- versity of Illinois and needs little or 'no introduction to any follower- of the Big Ten. The team, while handicapped by the lack of a diamond on which to practice, worked together and won the majority of the games played. The out-look for this year's baseball season at the present writing is very good -all of last year's teamwith the exception of Cawley will be able to respond to Kaiser's call for candidates, and with the advantage of last year's team- work will be able to do even better work than before. l

I ' F 1 rnawiiltnwr l i E After selecting the personnel of the staff, numerous difficulties arose with which the association had to cope. The greatest obstacle to overcome Was the fact that We had no gymnasium or accommodations for the development of teams and athletics. Arrangements were made with the Central Young Men's Christian Associationpwhereby the school was given the use of the Y gymnasium and tank in the evening after classes. Intra-mural activities were started and the coaches were given the opportunity of looking over the prospective candidates for the various teams, and interest in the various branches of sport was stimulated. At the outset the Chicago-Kent teams were obliged to play various out-law teamsnot recognized by any league or conference, due to the fact that most of the Conference schools had already scheduled games for the season, but gradually, as our organization progressed and the teams developed in their play, only college teamsvvere met. Director Short called a meeting of the coaches of all the colleges in Chi- cago to make arrangementsfor a conference or league, with the result that the Chicago College Conferenceu' is now practically formed. The tentative members of the conference are: 'Wheaton College, Northwestern College of Naperville, Y. M. C. A. College, Armour Institute and Chicago-Kent College of Law. If the proposed 'conference is carried out as planned, Chicago-Kent -will have a representative team in every branch of athletics, and will be able to book contests with schools in its own class of competition. We hope that the coming classes will co-operate with Director Short and his organi- zation in the furtherance of this vvork. . Boxing l As the first representative of Chicago- Kent in boxing, Oscar Strom has given a very good account of himself in a number of exhibitions. He was booked for sev- eral school matches, but the heavy pres- sure of Work incident to the senior year kept him from attending. Our earnest wish has always been that he have a chance to get at 'em . ' Osk is a mem- ber of the Class of 1925, and it is hoped that with his graduation other exponents of the manly art will put on the gloves for Chicago-Kent, thereby indulging in competition to a degree not to be exer- p cised in mental combat alone. 1925 a i ' Page 129
