rotiiul breaking cert mo ny lla (l -ii. alkrr ami ( idinptoii (illiciat iii j; NEW DEVELOPMENTS Plans were acti ely initiated for the important task of constructing the new Charles Hayden Me- iiKirial l-ihrary on April 2. 19i8. when the ground was (irsi turned for the building. Mr. Charles Hay len officiated at the ceremony of the grounti breaking, and he was given able assistance by Dr. Karl T. Compton, President of ibe Institute. The new library, located between buildings II an l ibc Walker M« ' niorial building, will be com- pleted in I9.i0. Returning to Tech after an absence d ' Icn « ' ars. baseball has again come iulo ils own as a arsity sport. Under Coach Fred Heuchling ' s able tutelage, a team was fiebled which repre- sented M.I.T. as a belter than average ball club. Vi ilh a Varsity schedule of eight games, the team won a good nund)er of them despite their late start in spring practice. The big sticker for Tech was their captain. Danny Harms, who batted a neat .. ' $.50 this season and scored more runs than any two players. The other outstanding | layers were Ken right, who played second and third base alternately, and Frank Hogan. the riglil licldcr. In spite of llicir being on the losing end of the score, the Beavers sbowj-d a lot of teamwork, and they look forward to a better season next spring wlu ' H they will have the newly coinplcted Kock- well cage in which to practice.

This virlory entitled Ralph to rac-e in the National OJMnpic finals where he once again demonstralejl his skill by acquiring a berth on the I nite l States Olympic Sailing Team. After winning the . S. fmals, Ralph and our sailing master Walter C Wood went to work designing ■ iill rit:(:i l Aloiilicclli and Vk o ) l c-uiilkiii lh»- l o » fittings and ga lgets. to enable Ralph to sail the boat with the greatest of efficiency. In England Ralph did an admirable job for I he U.S. and his sponsor the M.I. T.N. A. He came on I with the highest score in seven races against the representatives from twenty other nations. Never- theless, Ralph oflicially got a secon«l | lace. for every skipper was allowed to toss out his wt rst race, and only count his best six. I ' nder this sys- tem, the Denmark skipper won the final and Ral| h seconded him. In the past two years the M.i.T.N.A. ' s Morse. sailed by Roger Wilcox, has won the National 110 championship al i.arehmont and Marblehead.
