session last Thursday with Coach
Krai‘ft. Speaking before a turnout of
over fifty men. Krai’ft advised the
aspirants on ball playing- and an—
swered their queries about rules and
tight situations.

Starting with the defense, some
general rules were laid down for
keeping a step ahead of the oppo—
nents. If the score is close, with no
men out and a man on first base,
there is almost a surety of a bunt.
When this situation is present the
first and third basemen run in on
every pitch to get the hunt while the
second baseman covers first and the
shortstop covers second. “Play to get
the batter" is the rule here. If there
are none out and a player is on
second base, the third baseman must
hold back to guard his bag and only
goes in for the ball if it is hit to:
ward him, while the pitcher and first
baseman come in on each pitch. 11'
the catcher plays a bunt he is to use
his judgment as to the man to get.

of intramural events. Intramural
manager Ruppert will have complete
charge in making rules, schedules
and equipment. Teams may enter
from each department of each class.
Since the freshmen are not divided
into departments, they may enter
four teams of ten men each. Entries
are to be in by March 27. They must
include the names of the players, the
captain, and when the team can play.
The finals will be run off during vll.1«

finish.

the base. ' , ‘

However, you “can‘t win a game
without base hits" the men were told.
The best defense team in any league
can be beaten if they have no hitters
to make themselves a score. The lead-
ofl‘ man should not strike at the first
ball but should let the pitcher display
his stuiT and do all the work. How—
evor, if he is 3). good hitter he should
take the second good ball, having let
a strike go by him, «but if a little
weak he should try to work the
pitcher into a three and two count.
Any succeeding batter should take
‘a healthy cut at the first good ball
when a man is on base and try to
get him around.
