v Pkxflhfifl hiadhixfl ' MY! P' ggauaehall nam Nfl ' N HE baseball team has been unusually slow this year Q, ., xo tag,-.,1:.,,9f holding the practice sessions, necessitated by the late Easter vacation. However, now that the team has A been. selected, things are expected to move along swiftly and johnny Maier, of the Sophomore class, will play first base, although not very tall, he seems ,to be able to reach and hold on to everything that comes his way. Leo Heidt, also of the Sophs, has fielded in whizbang fashion in practice, and has had little trouble in assuring himself of the second base position. Captain Red Singerhoff is taking care of everything that comes down the shortstop slot, and is doing it in fine fashion. Johnny Merklinger on third base has been stopping in no uncertain man- ner those hot liners, hopping bounders, and everything else that a third baseman has to put up with. These men will make up the inner works of the nine. Art Ratigan, who has played with the team the last two years, will again be in the outfield. joe Gorman was shifted from first base, the position he played last year, to an outfield berth. He has played well in practice, and much is expected of him in the games. Pete Culross, of last year's nine, will com- plete the outfield. Johnny Flynn is back on the job as catcher, which means that the opposing teams are going to experience much difficulty in stealing bases. When necessary, Pete Culross will relieve Flynn. The pitching is to be done by Valukevicius, Vogt, and Connors. Valuke has pitched for the team since his second year, and this season he seems better than ever. Vogt, who was with the team last year, will be Valuke's first assistant. Connors is a new- comer, and his greatest handicap seems to be inexperience. Witli a little hard work, he may become a big help to the team. Bill Maier, of the Academics, will be the utility infielder. f Lg gl -and Lil . . . . in rounding 11ltO form because of the late start in . iw smoothly. The team as a whole looks like a successful combination. It will be fully tested, however, for it will be meeting some of the strongest scholastic nines in the city when it stacks up against such teams as Aquinas, Rochester Business Institute, and School of Commerce. Considering the late start, a fairly large schedule has been arranged, and some interesting battles are expected to result. s - - - - - - - - - - - -- LQALWALKQGLQADGQ ninety-two

'After baseball was discarded, basketball immediately stepped into the vacancy. Johnny Flynn, a veteran of two years was elected Captain of the Varsity. Jack Reddington was chosen to arrange a schedule, and a very line job he made of it. Flynn then started to drill the team regularly and it must be mentioned here that it was due to his leadership and example that the team had such a successful season. New blue jackets were purchased, and after a few weeks of hard workouts all was in readiness for the first game. St. Andrew's got off to a good start, winning its first three games and then it lost a heartbreaker to the R. B. I. by the score 24 to 25. All season St. Andrew's played a fast heady game against the best of competition in this section. :f I 51 1+ Z I 4' 4 4' 4' if I I 4' 51 ,I 'I I 'I 4 ,I n I I I 4 ' IXUQLKDULKUJLWALLLJDQAILQAUNQJILQJLQAXLYALLZQLLQUMEUQALYALQAIAQJDNQJIBALLQULLQQLSA A A 4 4 A A ninety-one
