...record number of candidates responded to Coach Clarke's call for candidates and daily practices in batting pitching and infield work are being held in the indoor cage. Aside from the pitchers, Coach Clarke has a good field to pick from and he will probably be able to make up for the loss of six university men by graduation last spring, as there are an unusually good lot coming up from the freshman and second teams of last season...
