BATTERY WORK-OUT FOR FIRST TEAM DRAWS 25

The first baseball work-out of the season was held yesterday afternoon when 25 candidates for battery positions on the University team reported to Coaches Mitchell and Davidson in the Briggs Cage for official practice. Sixteen Freshmen began twirling at 4 o'clock under Coach Rufus Bond who will guide the Freshman nine this season.

The prospects for the season are dimmed by the fact that only eight veterans out of 20 from last year's team are available. They are: Captain A. J. Lupien '32, left field; Reginald Fincke, Jr. '32, catcher; R. D. Kiernan '33, substitute fielder; J. P. McCaffrey '32, center field; E. A. Mays, Jr. '32, second base; J. E. Sheldon '33, catcher; H. W. Taylor '33, pitcher; W. B. Wood, Jr. '32, shortstop.

Among those who reported were: Charles Devens '33, George Fremd, Jr., P. E. Gorman '32, J. M. Lockwood '34, A. J. Lupien '32, Edmund Model '33, F. H. Poor '34, J. E. Sheldon '32, E. D. W. Sprague '32, J. Van R. Strong '34, Since Devens is to play ball this season, he will be unable to enter football. Fremd was a member of the 1934 team. Gorman is from the Jayvee squad last year. Lockwood was fielder on the Freshman team last year with Strong, John Ware, Jr., Captain of the 1934 team, is expected to come out soon with his teammates P. DeB. deGive, F. H. Gleason, Nathaniel Ware, Benjamin Beale, T. A. Lupien, W. R. Sutcliffe, and J. F. Lee.
