With outdoor practice for the Freshman candidates beginning this week, prospects for a successful 1920 baseball team appear reasonably bright. Coach Ball, who will again have charge of the Freshmen, will probably have the same, problem that faces Coach Duffy, that of developing a strong pitching staff.

With good men competing for every position, Coach Ball should easily turn out a fast infield. W. F. Manley is the leading candidate for first base, and has been covering this sack in fine form in the cage. T. S. Woods, although inexperienced, has been hitting the ball hard in practice, and G. E.

Ball, coach of the Freshman baseball team will speak...
