Rainouts Brightened by The varsity baseball team had a frus- trating start in the season, because twelve of their first sixteen games were postponed due to rain, giving the players very little chance to show off their new uniforms. The last three weeks of the season, the team had to play practically every day to make up for rainouts. Playing with only one re- turning senior put the team at a disf advantage in the league and accounted for the errors they made. Errors, as well as rain, consistently plagued the team. Out of fortyfthree runs scored against them, only eighteen were earned. But the team did turn up some exciting performances and spectacular plays, winding up the season with a 7f7 record. few f +iffiT7i1f.,:L L K , if ,ff a at '.. .
