Floyd Stahl's Varsity nine is still looking for its first Eastern Intercollegiate League victory and is not apt to find it in Princeton Saturday afternoon unless warmer weather loosens up Harvard efforts at the plate. One lone run was all to that Coach Stahl's men were able to manufacture in their last two home appearances against Tufts and Boston University throughout 18 innings of play.

Harvard has a young baseball team, and Important victories will probably be few and far between despite the best pitching of Captain Tom Healey, Lou Clay, and Charley Brackett. Added to its woes is the fact that the club hasn't even drawn files as far as attendance is concerned in the opening games. The weather was raw and cold for both the Tufts and the Boston University encounters, but the crowds were pitifully small.

Student Support Much Needed

This Harvard team could use some in baseball. It lacks a personality star like Lupe Lupine, but Eastern Intercollegiate League baseball is on a high standard. Any coach realizes that college baseball can become one of the dullest of all sports to watch, and they all try to do what they can to remedy the situation. Floyd Stahl proved last year, in his first at Harvard, that he could make his team hustle. There were no squabbles or arguments with umpires, and the players moved when they came on and off the field. They played nine innings of ball against Columbia in about an hour and thirty minutes--that's a real goal for college baseball to aim at.

Harvard will play interesting baseball as soon as some of the men lift themselves out of their hitting slumps. There is enough all-around ability on the Crimson roster to give any team in the league a good game. There are lots of choice seats, yours for the sitting, around the Soldiers Field diamond; and the Harvard nine could use some real vocal support--even of the Brooklyn variety. Don't condemn the Harvard games as being dull; go down and liven them up!

New Swimming Latte Plan

The Undergraduate Athletic Council came through with a perfect solution to the general dilemma about swimming letters. The Council recommended that even if a swimmer never placed against Yale, he could still get his Major H by simply participating in two meets with the Elis. The biggest difficulty with the present system of awarding a Major H only to those who place in that one letter meet is that too much importance is attached to Yale's strength in any one year.

The Council's plan would make it possible for a good Harvard swimmer to win his big H regardless of Yale's strength. The swimmers themselves feel that this plan is the best answer to the whole problem. The recommendation will undoubtedly come up for discussion at the next session of the Committee on the Regulation of Athletic Sports.

Netmen Will Open Season

Jack Barnaby's Varsity tennis squad is loaded with material this spring and may give the touring University of Miami outfit quite a struggle. The Southerners won a 7 to 2 team decision last year, but Harvard strength runs a bit deep now than it did a year ago. Captain Dave Burt, Langdon Gilkey, Johnny Palfrey, Chet Legg, and Jack Stewart are all on hand for their last year of play. Backing up that formidable group of veterans are Corey Wynn, Ross Lyell, and Homer Peabody.

The match is scheduled for the Divinity Courts at three o'clock on Saturday and should provide some of the most interesting tennis of the year. With any sort of a break in opportunities to practice this spring, the netmen would rate on a par with Miami. As it is, Gardner Mulloy's Southern racqueteers are the favorites.
