It is hoped that Mellon, ex-Cincinnati Red receiver, will recover from a severe injury acquired in the Tulane football game in time to get into harness. It was with great regret that We parted with the services of Larry Cobb, two years a first string catcher, who was ordered away after the first Week of practice. Four of last season's infielders are again in uniform-Kent Nelson on the first sack, George Honnen on second, and Lindsey and Cooper at third. The new material is abundant with fine infield talent and includes a roster too numerous to mention. Some twenty candidates are arriving for positions in the outfield and included in these are Kgelstrom and Smith who filled two garden berths last season. The squad has an unusually heavy assortment of good hitters. Colonel Hannah is again in charge of the Doughboy destinies, and a most successful season is anticipated. z, For r is ali kg..

Our defeats of the year may be largely attributed to a scarcity of reserve pitching material and to the fact that most of our first string twirl- ers were handicapped by the cold weather. Even so, we broke slightly less than even and defeated some of the best teams in the South. Cvreat credit is due our Coaches, Colonel Hannah and Captain Cunn- ingham, for their great interest in the team and for the unfailing energy which they displayed throughout the season. The entire squad is deserving of the highest commendation for their unwavering loyalty under most dis- heartening circumstances. The schedule for this year shows that the Infantry will meet the best college nines in the South. Twenty home games are scheduled and road trips will carry us away for eight additional battles. Seventy-five candidates have reported for practice and the roster in- cludes the best material ever on a Held at Benning. First workouts have been unusually gratifying and we are sure to have a strong team this year. Pitching prospects are unusually bright. Davis, Jones and Finnessey, veterans of last yearihave returned, and this list is supplemented by eight or nine other slabsters of splendid promise. Perwein and Hanson, mem- bers ofthe IQZI team, are back and other promising new material includes McNutt, Hanna, Hutchinson, Duff, Parks, Swantic and Parris.
