past season, most of them'have spent enough time in league games to assure the fans of their abilities. Enoch Smith looks like material for hurling next year, and with the conndence a regular berth on the team should give him, he should cause consternation in the enemy camps. New material for outfielding will have to be excellent to beat out the returning men for places. Murphy, Keener, and Knight all are outstanding men. Their return should delight,Saint enthusiasts. uBrick Hoggan should have no trouble in retaining his regular position on the Gold and Blue team. His success in everything that he attempts has built for him an enviable repua tation. Withlthese five men as a starter, the coach should have no diniculty' in creating a championship team. Still comparatively new as head coach of the L. D. 3. Josh West has infusedva new spirit into athletic aspirants. He has given a new attitude of sportsmanship, of the joy of the game, to the numerous men who have reported for practices in the sports. There has been a sympathetic under- standing between him and his players that has given a new aspect to the Saint athletic department. Springtime always creates a new interest in athletics. Baseball, con- sequently, has an appeal to the L. D. S. men that few other sports have. Coming as it does as soon as the turf is dry enough for practice, it attracts many students Who do not report for athletics in the fall. The coach is thus presented a wide field of material from which to select his squad, and finally, his team. A regular position on the team is thus acquired only through marked superiority and intensive application during practice. JACK DUNCAN Infield Infield ...it 169 Egg...

have finished another banner year in athletics. Thes fifteen players not only brought credit to the school for themselves and ept up the work of former years, but also brought the athletics of nineteenetwenty-nine and thirty to a glorious linish. Enjoying success in fbotball, basketball, swimming, track, and tennis, it only remained for the lsually good baseball team to be mustered. This was done, as can be seen from the results, and L. D. S. can once more be called one of the ranki+g schools in sports. Too much credit cannot be given Coach West for the untiring effort he put forth in bringing this about. The prospects for another equally good baseball team next year are exceedingly bright. Many regulars Will return and these, together With the new material, Will serve to make up a team that Will rank among the best. Since the two-year ruling in athletics has come into effect, veterans have been at a premium. Players With one yeafs rea experience in high school baseball 1behind them, are counted stellar stars and are depended upon to form the backbone of the team. Next year L. D. S. will be ex, tremely fortunate in the number of experienced men that -will return. Though not all of them have been scheduled as regular players during the SMITH GRAY TANNER Pitch Cutvh Outfield ,Wi'l 168 Bew-
