Pete Seward was elected to lead the Teqh nine. Tech had a good team considering the fact that more stress was laid on track and that the team must have been without a horseshoe. The lllaroon and Gray team showed what baseball ability they had when they shut out Susquehanna, and also when they defeated the Lebanon Valley Reserves in a seventeen inning game by a score of 5 to 4. VVe appreciate the work which Coach Pomp spent on the team and congratulate hlanager Beach for the fine schedule which he arranged for the Tech nine. -O'-00000000000000000000000000000000-'I--0o00o0il0OOl00oo0Q000l00000900909 39
