Wednesday, February 6, 191S THE BATTALION 3 BASE BALL PRACTICE WELL. UNDER WAY. The first base ball practice was held last week and about 30 men re ported. Since then on afternoons when there was no drill and on Sat urdays regular practice has been kept up to whip the men in shape for the first series of games with Howard Payne which is only a little over a month off. It is too early to guess just who will represent the college on the dia mond this year, but there are some good men out and the places will be fought for. The receiving end of the battery is going to be well taken care of in Dinan, Powell, and McMurray. For pitchers there seems to be a number of promising candidates in Higginbotham, Shearer, Sholtz, Me- Clintock, and Pearson. It is the in field that our greatest strength at present lies for here will be seen col legiate circles—Priester on first and Rigney at short. Other candidates for the infield are Chapman, Baker, Laekey, Lewis and Landa. For the outfield Alexander, Fabian, Mahan, Dwyer, Vaudervoort, and Wise are trying out. There are several other candidates besides these and still others are expected to report latei' on. The war has again cut into our chances of having a championship team as it did last year. The mem bers of the team are not to be ex cused from drill this year. The only practice they will be able to get will be on Saturday and Sunday after noons and on Tuesday’s and Thurs day’s when class work does not inter fere. This is the same handicap last year’s team worked under when the players had to drill the two hours with the corps and then play a g;ame afterwards against a fresh team. RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

Copeland of Tampico, Mexico, the father of our fellow member, William J. Copeland, and Whereas, the ties of fellowship that exist among us make the loss of any member the loss of all, be it Resolved by the members of Com pany “K” that we extend to Mr. Copeland this expression of our heartfelt sympathy in this bereave ment and assure him that as fully as we may we enter into his sorrow and commend him to the Heavinly Father who alone can administer -.;o the needs of troubled souls and who can bring blessing out of pain and anguish. Be it further Resolved that a copy of these res olutions be sent to Mr. Copeland and a copy furnished The Battalion for publication.
