f ' "IURDUE baseball fans are I P I likely to see Benny FriedI X I man, the great Wolverine football quarter back and forwardpassing star, In the MichiganBoilermaker scrap at Lafayette on Saturday. Benny has been holding down third base for Michigan. Coach Fisher was forced to build an almost entirely new team this season. Jablonowski and Walter are two veteran pitchers who are back. Captain Wilson, first baseman, and Puckolwartz, center fielder, are the only others remaining of last year’s team. Pui-duo Is likely to go up against ‘‘.Tabby,” and the recent heavy hitting of Coach Lambert's club may be slowed up. The pitcher with the funny name allowed Vanderbilt only two lilts on the southern trip. Up and at'em Boilermakers and jab some of dabby’s slants. Purdue Is off to a flying start this season with three victories over Big Ten foes. The Hoosler line-up seems pretty will settled at this time, with Pierce at first; Wilcox, second; Rabe, shortstop; Ware, third. Rabe is a former Technical High School athlete. The regular outfield trio consists of Captain Taube, Plock and Ravenscraft. Wise Is doing a good job back of the bat. Charles Hutewßt, a Louisville youth, pitched two of tlio Big Ten victories over Ohio and Northwestern. Another Charles, whose surname is Maxton, turned in a good game against Chicago to win. Other pitchers are l>avies, and two McHargue boys. Raymond McHargue is a southpaw. Both of them hurled well against Wabash on Wednesday. The pitching staff has been worrying Lambert somewhat, but as the season advances it begins to look as though he has much reserve box strength, at least. If one twirler is unsteady there will be others ready. The team has been hitting, which is the most encouraging thing that can be said about a college nine.

mWO Indianapolis youths will cojnpete under the colors of Notre Dame at the big relay carnivals today and Saturday, Charles Riley and Paul Harrington. Quite a bit of interest is attached to the announcement, that Harrington, pole vaulter, will be the lone “Irish” representative at the Penn tourney. Harrington was injured In the Texas relays early tills spring and It. was thought he would lie out of his specialty the rest of the season, lie made his first, appearance since the injury at Ohio relays, and while he was off form, tied for second. Last year, Harrington tied for first place at the Penn relays. His vaulting during the indoor season raised great hopes, and then came the unfortunate sprain in Texas. A tradition has grown up of late at Notre Dame tliat tjie one man sent to the Penn games must Like first in Ills event. It Is quite a bill f-o fill, but for years the entrant wearing the Gold and Blue has done this very thing. “What will Harrington do?” Charlie Riley, the other Indianapolis product, is one of Notre Dame's best bets on the special sprint team to take part in the Drake relays. The former Cathedral High School grid star is one of the fastest traoksters at the South Bend school. .* * Aquatieally inclined members of the Hoosier Athletic Club will endeavor to prove to the officers of Ft. Harrison that the Army's place is on dry land, when the two teams get together in a dual meet Saturday evening at the 11. A. c. pool. f After the battle the regular swimming team and various swimming classes of the IT. A. C. will entertain the spectators with a number of Interesting and novel events. • • • Interesting facts are drifting in about that Northwestern and Chicago baseball game Last week It is said tlie temperature was around the 27-dogree mark. The outfielders wore mittens and tossed them off when a fly came their way. The subs on the bench huddled around bonfires. Every one had on a couple of sweaters. Don’t ask us WHY they played the game. * * * rpTIAT PAGE, new Indiana U.‘ I I coac h, is following his usual t I custom of getting athletes in shape during the spring football practice at Bloomington. While at Butler, Page always had his teams in great physical condition. They are talking about Page and his methods at I. U. already. He started out easy and got the gridders into shape before scrimmaging. Every Saturday morning a regulation football game is played at Memorial Stadium. One good thing about Page. He builds from the ground up. And he is starting at Indiana with community spirit end “football ambition,” as he calls it. Fundamentals often must be taught in other places besides the gridiron. Richard Garrison, Paul Harrell, Maurice Reilly, Temple Smith and Boyd Courlm of Indianapolis are among the spring football candidates in training. H. S. GAME POSTPONED The Cathedral and Shortridge High School baseball game scheduled for this afternoon at Riverside Park was postponed, because of wet grounds. The contest will be played Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Other firep teams scheduled today; Lawrence at Broad Ripple; Technical

He had been bothered by a lame arm, but he was “all there” Thursday and made some of the Minneapolis performers look foolish. Reynolds or Hill It was believed A1 Reynolds, a new member of the Indians, or Carmen Hill would be sent into face the "Kelley crew an the third of the series today. Miller home runs defeated the Tribe Wednesday, but it was a different story Thursday. The Bushmen took a turn at smashihg the ball over the short fences.

Francis, a southpaw; Dumont, a right-hander, and Moon, a southpaw. The Indians collected fourteen safe hits. They got fifteen safe pokes Wednesday. Fact of the matter the liatting of the Indians has caused local rooters to fear the Bushmen more than ever. Henry was given errorless support and the one run counted by the Millers was registered on a double steal in the fifth inning. •
