qr H I19 IP A Rp I of I £ L II i Baseball Sitting—Loren Mclnturff, Jack Heaston, Alonzo Clem, Ralph Brecount, Robert Purk. Standing—Coach Winters, Charles Apple, John Hunt, Garner Stradling, Robert Han back, Manager Robert Goode. Early in September with the good baseball days ahout over Coach Winters whipped together a team of unknown prowess, being built around four veteran players, Apple, Clem, Hunt and Brecount. Finding it hard to fill the holes in the in- field, due to the graduation of Zirkle, Mil- dleton and Licklider, several experiments were tried to determine who would hold down these places. It was finally decided to use Apple at first, Mclnturff at second and Garner Strad- ling, a promising recruit at the hot corner. Heaston, who is only a Sophomore, has proved to be quite a ball hawk around the short stop position, robbing many a play- er of what he thought to be a sure hit. Captain Brecount was the individual ace in the pitching corps, leading the county in a number of strike outs. He is also a very dangerous hitter. A weakness in the gar- dens, namely the lack of customary punch proved to be of no benefit for many times a properly inserted bingle would have turned the trick bringing in some of the many who were left standard, however, with the veteran Hunt, in the center, Han- back and Stradling alternating in left and Runkle in right a good fielding combina- tion was developed. A promising season is in sight for next spring, when Robert Purk, who again will be eligible will report for backstop duty relieving the heavy hitting Clem to help out in the left garden where his ac- curate throwing arm will cut off many a would be run.
