After over a month of drills and practice games, Coach Floyd Stahl's Varsity nine will swing into action tomorrow against the Naval Air Station at Quonset, Rhode Island. The squad will attempt to start off its 1945 season with a victory against a team which held them to an even split last spring and summer.
Opening last spring's season, the first 1944 game resulted in a 4 to 2 victory for Quonset by virtue of four last-inning unearned runs that spoiled Jack Wallace's six-hit pitching job. In a return game that summer the Crimson outslugged a reportedly superior Quonset team and set them back, 12 to 10.
Stahl, who early this week expressed his fear of the greater experience in the fliers' lineup, has been directing his charges in a heavy schedule of practice games to drive them to their peak efficiency before the coming opener.
With only center fielder Art Conlon and pitcher Jack Wallace back from last year, Stahl will depend heavily on his star hurler not only for duty on the mound but also in the fifth batting slot.
The lineup:

O'Neill, r.f.
Coppinger, 3b.
