...pitching, Shepard thinks "it will start to improve now." Cook seems to have settled down, Ed Wadsworth has looked very promising, and the third will probably be A1 Martin. Though normally a first baseman by trade and a strong hitter as well, Martin alternated between second base and the mound for last year's freshmen and may well be the best pitcher on the team...
...earrings of their rank, sat tiredly in the saddle; rangy muleteers in peaked caps with big earlaps goaded the baggage train up the steep path. As they passed a cairn of rocks topped by brightly colored flags printed with Buddhist prayers, each pious Tibetan added a stone to the mound, murmured the traditional litany...

Behind these two are pitchers Roy Williams, Al Yarbro, Bill Hyland and Jon Silverman...
Williams, pitcher-outfielder from Oklahoma City, will play in left, except when he takes his turn on the mound. Switch-batter Williams is a long-ball hitter and will bat cleanup. Also very strong at the plate is Drummey, left-handed lead off man, who hits to all fields. Morse and Bernstein, who bats from the left side, are also expected to compile high averages this spring...
