Result
Indications of fairer weather than
prevailed last week and the first of
this week have served to stir the baseball cohorts to increased activity and
any afternoon, barring Sunday, a trip
to tho east end of Stoll Field will con
vince anyone of tho seriousness with
which the squad is going into baseball practice.
The
Wildcat athlete and now
progressive assistant coach, Bill Tut-tihas the jneh in charge for the
preliminary "loosening up" period.
"Doc" Tigert will be out within a few
days and will assume command.
Only light batting and fielding practice has been indulged in and until
the really hard work begins it will be
impossible to get a good line on the
men. The ability of the members
of last years team is well known, but
there are quite a few men both in the
.freshman and upper" classes who
threaten to supplant the regulars.
Work is being rushed on the new
diamond, which had to be moved a
short distance to the east of last
year's arena. When this work is completed and the extra bleachers pro
vided along tho first base line; a week
or so of hard practice will put the
'Vildcat baseball steam roller In readiness to overwhelm the haughty
