Leissner is the better field er and seems more at ease at short, but does not seem to have the hitting power of Hunt. Henry “Yogi” Candelari, the team captain, holds down the third base spot, with Jerry Lastelick backing him up. Candelari is an other clutch hitter for the Cadets, and Bell says he expects a 100% improvement on Candelari’s play ing of last year. Lastelick, a jun ior, was a squad man last year. Lary to Left Dependable, versatile Yale Lary holds down left field, and does it with no competition. Lary’s field ing is good, and his hitting power last year brought him All-SWC honors.

Pro-Ball Players “I believe that first game woke ’em up, and the fellas are 1’eady to play ball,” said Coach Bell yes terday. “They looked a 100 times better in that second game, and I hope they look better in these games with the Comets,’ he added. “As for a general picture, it looks gloomy toward the games this weekend, for BAMC has an awfully good team, and of course all of them are pi-o-ball players.” The squad has concentrated this week on the development of their batting power, along with infield practice. Bell said. The Brook Medics are expected to • use the same pitchers this weekend as be fore, Mickens and Hudson, both well regarded pro-ball hurlers. Couch to Address Research Council Dr. J. R.
