SECOND BASEBALL SQUAD TO HOLD FIRST PRACTICE

T. J. Campbell '12 Will Take Up Duties as Coach Today--Pitching Prospects Are Poor--Yale Game on May 30

It is expected that about 40 men will report when the second team holds its first baseball practice of the season this afternoon on Soldiers Field. T. J. Campbell '12, who was appointed Assistant Graduate Treasurer of the H. A. A. last December, and who has had a varied career both as football and baseball coach, has been placed in charge of the squad. His chief experience has been with football teams, for besides being an assistant coach under P. D. Haughton '99 in 1913 and 1914, and taking charge of the Freshman team in 1921, he has coached at Bowdoin, the University of North Carolina, and the University of Virginia. He played in the outfield of the second University baseball team while in college.

Some of the most promising candidates for the team are L. O. V. Mann '25, last year's Freshman short stop, A. D. Hoffman '25, and J. J. H. Kerr '25, Earl Evans 2E.S., who played tackle on the second University football team last fall, will be a strong contender for second base. The team feels the lack of pitching material, although J. B. Anastas '23, who was on last year's University squad, is showing good form on the mound.

A regular schedule of games has been made out, which includes a contest with Yale on Wednesday, May 30 at Soldiers Field.
