Show WESTMINSTER WILL GO IN FOR BASEBALL The Westminster college has decided to start the baseball season as early aB posal-blo, posal-blo, in order to make a creditable showing show-ing In this lino of sport this season. Last year It took up baseball exclusively and did excellent work. Its games last year wore mostly with thc grade schools, but this year tho college team will take on almost all of the high school toamB. Prodigally all the players of tho former for-mer season aro at school and practices have already been held. Basketball was played for a while, but tho sport was soon abandoned. Games were played with the Granite high school second team at three different times, and the college boys wore badly defeated. Tho basketball basket-ball men played . for dlftoront church teams at the Y. M. C. A., and with one or two exceptions, wero victorious. The lack of a good floor was tho main reason for riot making a creditable showing In the hoop game. Tho girls of tho Institution have a good team In basketball, but have been unfortunate In arranging games. They were scheduled to moot tho Park City high school team of girls, but the gamo fell through. Thoy tried hard to arrango a game with tho Granite freshmen team, but tho rules of the, Granlto high school were such that tho girls could not meet outside teams. This has discouraged tho Westminster girls and no active work has been done for the past two weeks. A much better showing will bo mndo in athletics in the future, a3 a tencftor familiar with basketball and baseball has been employed by the institution and will have charge of the coaching. |
