In the squad's initial outdoor appearance last Monday, the players
took no chances and limbered up easily. Their work consisted of throwing, batting and catching fly balls.
The field is in fine condition and the
storm of last week did not hinder this
week's practice. Barring bad weather, the Wildcat squad should round
into condition rapidly for the first
game of the season, with Georgetown
on March 29.

the same outfield as last year will be
