TECH R E VI EW 65 FT ER the preliminary indoor battery practice Coach Swain issued his call for all candidates to report at “Tech” Field on March 26th. Forty men pre- sented themselves and twenty-one of these make up the present squad. On April 6th the team received its first test in a game with La Salle. The game, which was featured by the heavy hitting of Captain Johnson and the splendid pitching of Frecthy, resulted in a 13—3 victory for Technical. On April 8th and 9th our team received setbacks, losing to Bryant and Stratton 12—8 and to Colt 12—4. These defeats, however. may be attributed to the fact that some of the regulars were not playing. The Interscholastic League opened April 14th. Technical played a fast game with English at Roger Williams Park and won, 2—I. McLaughlin was at his best and struck out nineteen batters and sent in tile tying and winning runs. Pawtucket journeyed to “Tech” Field April 17th and was defeated by a score of 15—4. The next game was with Woon- socket, and Technical, with Frecthy pitching, won easily, 11—6. Since the hitting and fielding of the team and the work of the pitchers has so far been of mid-season form, the outlook for a success ful season is very bright.

64 T ECH REVIE VV GIRLS’ BASKET BALL TUI'- girls’ basket ball season has not been very successful this year. For various reasons several games which bad been scheduled with other schools had to be cancelled. However, after a field house has been built, we expect to hear of the “ Fcch” girls as champions in the basket ball world. The line-up is as follows: Seniors. Dorothy Hathaway ...................Captain Ruth Dane ..........................Manager Elinor Keily .......................forward Gladys Swan .........................center Ethel Richard .......................center Grace Moore .......................center Gertrude Card ....................forward Gladys Crocker .....................guard Esther Hall ........................guard Edna Berry .......................forward Juniors. Emily Amadon .....................Captain Winifred French ..................Manager Helen McAndrews ...................center Georgia Smith ......................guard Elsie Knowlton .....................guard Elsie Johnson ......................guard Ruth Newkirk .....................forward Hazel Gerry .......................center Mildred Buckley ..................forward ATHLETIC El ELI) IN many respects the athletic field project seems brighter this year than ever before. During 1910-11, we collected from all sources $2515.36; 1911-12 yielded us $1791.- 84; 1912-13 brought in $1507.11; and the contributions in 1913-14 to date have amounted to $981.81. Of these amounts, we have received from the alumni, $743.38; from the teachers, $511.52; from friends of the school, $538.89; from rent of field, $42.00; from entertain- ments, sales, etc., $784.53; and from the pupils. $4175.80. Our expenditures, viewed as a whole, are interesting. For the land we have paid so far $3183.58. which does not include almost $500 used to secure the bargain in the first place. Our grading has cost $858.17, and there are two bad holes yet to be filled. The fence ran up to $708.94, and a small area since added to the field, is not enclosed. We have paid in interest $774.66, but as it is now less than a hundred dollars a year, we shall not expend so much in that way in the future. Taxes have cost us $216.13, and there seems no im- mediate prospect of abatement. The bleachers, thanks to the carpentry de- partment. cost but $149.95. Putting in water amounted to $162.76. The tennis court cost $88.53, and we have paid for the efficient care of the whole field, $70. Other expenses for entertainments, printing, etc., have made our total expenditures to date, $6673.11; leaving a balance in the treasury of $122.23, which will reduce our mortgage to $1540. Our goal for next June is the reduction of the mortgage to a thousand dollars, and at our present rate we are sure of success.
