...opening of the 1926 baseball season this afternoon at 3 o'clock will find Barbee, last year's Freshman mound ace, toeing the rubber against the Boston University nine on one of the Soldiers Field diamonds. Last night, Coach Mitchell had decided definitely on his starting line-up, and though changes will be frequent throughout the game, the line-up given above will, unless adverse weather conditions ensue, take the field to repulse the B.

With only one veteran back from last year's pitching staff, Coach Mitchell will be faced with the task of building a new hurling corps. R. W. Puffer '26, a right handed twirler, is the letterman who is expected out today. J. N.

Toulmin and E. C. F. Herrmann, Jr., the mainstays of last year's mound squad, Coach Mitchell will be forced to uncover new material. R. W. Puffer '26, with J. N. Barbee '28, and D. B. Linscott '28, of the 1928 nine, are the best of the hurled left from last year...
