f X THE REFLECTQRQ 32 4 xp' Q Baseball After much hard work, Dr. Woodbury of the Dental Depart- ment succeeded in reviving athletics in the University. He, with the help of a few others, arranged a baseball schedule, the first in the history of the University of Buffalo. He knew nothing of the material in the University, but despite that fact he decided to get a coach. Bert Nlagner, and George Smith the former Bison player were obtained as coaches. The squad was called out to report at the Auditorium. It is useless to say that there were one hundred and fifty candidates. With that spirit, Dr. Woodburyls dream was sure to come true. Men were dropped, others left, until the squad was down to a very few men. Then it was work, work, work. These men worked every day from twelve till two o'clock at the Broadway Auditorium. Sometimes they missed their lunch altogether, at other times they were able to get a sandwich, going to or from practice. Training began on March first, and the outlook was very good. The Dents and Law were the best rep- resented, while the Pharmics and Medics each contributed one man. The first game was at Syracuse. The day was dark, cloudy and rainy. We were defeated IS to 85 but that does not begin to tell how hard fought that game was. This defeat did not discourage the men. Far from it. It only showed them how good and how poor they were. Some parts of the team needed changing. The men were shifted about and new material added, with the result that Rochester, Hobart, Alleghany, and others were defeated. This being the first baseball team the University ever backed, we may say it did remarkably well. 89
