THE 1919 CROAKER pasebaU Baseball has long been one of the major sports at Iowa Wesleyan. Last year it was found necessary to abandon this sport temporarily, owing to the disorganization incident to the declaration of war, the large number of enlistments, and the emphasis placed upon military training to prepare the candidates for the Officers’ Training Camps. This year, although working under the compressed schedule, which brought Commencement early in May, baseball was revived, and at the first intimation of spring the diamond was again resounding to the crack of the bat. A short schedule was arranged, including a game at Commencement time with our time-honored opponents from Illinois, Knox College. The freshman class furnished almost all the material for the nine. Schaffner, with more than a local reputation as a hurler, was invincible on the mound. He is easily one of the best college twirlers in the state. Next year there is little doubt but that the Purple and White will again turn out one of its great teams that for so many years have been almost unbeatable. GTenntss Tennis at Wesleyan is of the past and of the future. For the immediate present there is little to write. As far back as can be recalled, Wesleyan has placed a tennis team on the courts and played intercollegiate matches with varying success. Last year the Tennis Association decided to abandon the old clay courts and install modern ballasted courts in their place. It was intended that these courts were to be finished last fall. The labor shortage prevented the consummation of these plans and they were not finally completed until early in May. The courts arc, however, exceptionally fine and were worth waiting for. They are drained and ballasted and it is safe to say that no Iowa College is better equipped in this regard than Wesleyan.
