HOOl R E E D COLLEGE ANNUAL + 1915 cellence, however, largely because little time is given to practis. The Multnomah Clubis fast diamond was available the first year, and tho there wer only about twenty-four men in college that spring, two ful teams wer pickt up and many contests wer puld off between these scrub nines. With the start of the next year, the Clas of 1915 pickt out a team and proceeded to win from both the freshmen and the faculty, who had by this time added enuf members to make out a formidable nine. Some exciting, if not weLplayd contests wer puld off, the sofomores only winning the cham- pionship by making a ninth inning rally of four runs against the faculty, while the faculty took thirteen innings to win from the freshmen. Last year, the permanent athletic held was available for the hrst time and a fairly good diamond was made by the combined efforts of the college and the students. The grounds wer a great improvement over those of the previus year, and an improved brand of ball was the result. The juniors again won the Championship, tho not without the timely aid of the sofomores. The latter defeated the faculty about the middle of the season in one of the best playd contests of the season. The juniors broke even with the faculty in their two games, and, by winning the remainder of their contests, finisht at the top of the list. The faculty wer second, the freshmen third, and the sofomores fourth. The following men wer pickt for the all-star positions: Jenne, catcher; Sabin, pitcher; Webster, hrst base; Rittenberg, second base; Grondahl, third base; Jones, short stop; Sechrist. left field; Trousdale, center field; Zabel, right field. This year the grounds ar in better shape than ever be- fore. MINOR SPORTS Minor sports, such as handball, cross cuntry runs, squash, boxing, restling and soccer, ar not on the official list of Reed athletics, but interest is taken by the students in each of these branches, handball being the most popular. Other sports wil probably spring up from time to time, and when interest warrants, they wil be placed on the official list. In handball, several turnaments for men hav been held. During the second year a round-robin turnament was puld off. Runyan being pronounst the singles champion, while in the doubles the freshman team, Webster and Norman, wer the winners after a hard contest with the upperclasmen, Runyan and Redman. Runyan again won the singles championship the third college year, tho Mr. Weber, assistant gymnasium instructor, prest him closely. The doubles championship was not de- cided. About fifty students enterd the open singles turnament this year; several of the faculty wer also among the entries.
