The sophomoi'e infield of Bill
Houchin, Dink Patterson and Ralph
Plumlee have turned in outstand
ing jobs in their positions. The
young threesome have combined
their talents to make 42 outs and
19 assists. The double play combi
nation of Patterson, Plumlee and
Houchin have put teamwork to
gether with speed and collected
two double plays.

Farmers have played almost flaw
less ball and given up only three
errors. Their opponents have
blundex*ed nine times.

It was sad.
when that great ship went down and the
last thing to leave the sinking ship was
a bottle of Coca-Cola. That’s because all
hands stuck to Coke to the end. Now there’s
popularity! That’s the kind of loyalty
the sparkling lift, the good taste of Coke
engenders. Man the lifeboats, have a Coke!
