Next, Augusta defeated our team in a terrific battle ending l5-8 in their favor. B Now approached the biggest game of the season, with Roanoke High School. This was the opponent which the cadets wished most to sink. The game was a fast one marked after the fashion of the Big l..eagfuers, and the spectators witnessed an exhibition of pep and go that was nothing short of marvelous. The team came through with flying colors amid the cheers of the cadets and beat Roanoke, 9-2. Our defeat in football at their hands was avenged. Natural Bridge then came to try their luck, but met a crushing defeat at the hands of the Methodists, 21-2. A Our last encounter was with the Bedford Athletic Association, which fared no better than the preceding team. ' Thus, the baseball season came to a close with most of the games to our credit. The reports of the neighboring papers on the actions of our team were most favorable to read, but it did not take those reports to convince. us: we knew from the ezrhibitions given by our team. Prospects for this year's team are of the best and we see no reason why it should not be a winner. V 1 As our record of the work of our last year's team draws to a close we can but extend your most heartfelt congratulations to those of that memorable squad who played the game for all there's in ii: who played the game and played to win it.

Rat material was unusually good, many having had previous high-school experience. The sphere hurlers were quickly whipped into condition for our encounter with an ancient rival, Randolph-Macon Academy, of Front Royal. We handed .them a decided defeat, 8-0. ' I - With high expectations and anticipations, the team next invaded Black- stone, who also lost to our crack squad. A more formidable adversary 'then presented itself to our team, the Shenandoah College, andrthis encounterended in their favor-our first defeat. Again away from home, we playediVi E. S., at Lynchburg, and although it was a bitterly contested battle, we lost to them by the small score of 3-2. OH: again, the team invaded the Virginia Polytechnic Institute where was played the hardest game of the season. Most of the breaks going, to them, we were defeated, the game ending with them seven points ahead. For the next game the team came home to give us the much-looked- forward-to exhibition of their ability. This proved to be a very interesting and exciting game. Johnny Bowen showed us some fast first-base work and Rosser some excellent hits. Our team soon piled up a big score against Blacksburg High School. ' A At Danville we met Danville Military Institute and succumbed to them, although our team fought to the last second. g E931 lll i lll 11 ,.i. 5 -1- 1 A T.:
