With rain and optional exercise for V-12 students postponing all intramural baseball games thus far this week, Companies B and C combined their teams into an all-star squad and tackled Crash-Davis' Varsity B team in an unofficial game last Tuesday. They lost in a very close and exciting game...
Despite this great head and humidity (which, incidentally, is sponsored by the Massachusetts Chamber of Commerce, Kindness to Southern Sailors Division) the baseball league between the Mid-Officer groups went on as usual.
