The Baseball Season
Last year's record in baseball. while not up 10 the standard set by the
football and basket-ball teams, was nevertheless creditable. Idaho finished
second in the East Side Conference, W. S. C. taking hrst and
Monlana lallt. Whitman canceled its games.
The early season practice games were won without much trouble.
and after dividing a series with Monlana at Missoula. the "I" men look
the Bruins into camp in two tight games when the Montanans appeared
in Moscow. Pullman was scheduled as the next victim. but their team
work proved 100 much for Idaho. and the team lost both games.
This year the outlook is less bright. as there are only four letter men
out. Captain Almquist and Coach Bleamasler are working hard to whip
the squad into shape, and the fans will at least see a fighting team.
