3 Afternoon in the Sun ' Spring is the time of year when a young man ' s thoughts turn to baseball ’ Or at least the thoughts of those enthusiasts who steal away every spring afternoon to pit their skills against themselves in practice or another team in competition. Baseball is not publicized at Northwestern. Actually, the school doesn ' t have the facilities for the sport hut it is con¬ sidered important enough to merit the solici¬ tation of other ball fields to engage in physical activity in this manner. Last year seemed to he an adequate ex¬ ample of the lack of publicity received for the sport. But then, that ' s logical. Who wants to publicize a hall team that won two games, tied one, and lost seven? The team doesn’t exactly lack hatting power, for il displayed five hitters with a .300 or better hatting aver¬ age, topped off by Don Troll with a .429. What the team did lack was fielding power or coordination. Analysis of the team ' s plnv revealed that most of the opponents’ runs were gained on Northwestern’s errors. The problem of Northwestern baseball seems lo he one of rebuilding. The combina¬ tion of exams and graduation continually ere ales havoc with the size and talent of the team. The high spot of die season came when Northwestern lost to Marlin Luther 17-2. Well no, that wasn ' t really the high spot. It was merely a contributing factor. he climax came a few weeks later when Martin Luther returned and Northwestern won 3-2. Under the careful eye of the ump, Lee Judson con¬ centrates afl his training Into an attempt to belt the leather over the right field fence and ad infinatum. Ready at first base Denny Bragg keeps close watch on both the base and the Martin Luther runner lead¬ ing off.

Walt Green, anchor man for the one mite relay team, strains the last few yards to the tape on spirit and intestinal fortitude for a new conference record Northwestern ' s mite relay team, holders of the conference record as set at Sheboygan, Wisconsin last year. From front to back: Dick Angelo, Denny Bragg, Lee Judson and Walt Green. In the hundred yard dash, Northwestern ' s Lee Judson, third from [eft, finished second to the man already well on his way to the tape with an apparent false start Judson tost out by a mere half step. Dick Angelo passes alt comers in the conference track meet with a surge of power in his successful bid for a new con¬ ference record in the half mile. Well-Buttoned Season The track team took occasion in the spring to prove that good tilings come in small pack¬ ages Traveling to Sheboygan, Wisconsin for the conference meet, NW picked seven men to represent her and placed third in the con¬ ference through their efforts. Every one of the seven received ribbons for placing in their individual event. There were certain high spots in the meet when all eyes fell on Northwestern. For example, when Dick An¬ gelo placed first in the hall mile, setting a new conference record and when the mile relay team of Angelo, Judson, Bragg and Green set a new conference record in that event. A suc¬ cessful season was chalked up as the track shoes were put away and tilings look very good for this year.
