...come shortstop Art Johns and then Captain Lupien. In the cleanup place is the hard hitting newcomer to the team and the leftfielder, Jo-Jo Soltz. Sixth on the order is the veteran and second sacker, Dave Shean, with third baseman Dick Grondahl, backstop Paul Doyle, and sophomore right fielder Rud Hoye filling out the list. Ed Ingalls or Slim Curtiss will be the starting hurler...
...most importance is the rearrangement of the infield. Unable to find a really satisfactory third basement, Mitchell has brought Dave Shean, las year's left fielder, into the inner cordon, placing him at second base, and has moved Art Johns to shortstop, leaving Dick Grondahl to take care of the hot cornor. Captain Lupien, of course, continues to hold down first. Dick Ulin and Russ Ayers will rate as top infield spares...
...outfield Bob Gannet has sewed up the enter field position and there is no prospect of a change, while Jo-Jo Soltz can be safely put down as starting right fielder, for he gives genuine promise of turning into a good hitter. In left Red Hoye and Don Hall are fighting it out, with no indication as yet as to who will clinch the place...
...Johns at second, Dave Shean at third or in left field, Bob Gannett, right-fielder, and Dick Grondahl, utility infielder will form, along with Lupien, the nucleus of this year's team. With the exception of Dick Walsh, the entire mound staff of a year ago is returning, but the catcher's berth is wide open...
Heckel, Junior Varsity third baseman last year, should fit into the Varsity picture this pring. He is a steady, fast fielder but has heretofore proved pretty weak at the plate. If he can improve his hitting a place in the infield is waiting for him. Bob Fulton, Freshman catcher and captain, is a flery ball player and a potentially good hitter. He will have to work, however, for Eliot Bacon, Jayvee backstop, seems to be coming fast and by spring may really be in the running. Merrill, Freshman third sacker, is, like Heckel, another smart fielder...
