splendid job, and regardless of the team’s
standing this past season, you did a remark-
able job with the material at hand.
Herewith I enclose check for $24 for the
TBMCG, since if I were put on the monthly
basis I would probably fail to perform. My
best to the. boys who have worked so dili-
gently for the Club. ,

INDIAN BASEBALL NINE
SURPRISINGLY STRONG
EARLY SEASON PROVES

@ So little space has college baseball re-
ceived in recent years that news in mid-
March Stanford’s nine was undefeated in
conference competition came to Card dia-
mond adherents as a distinct sur-
prise.

So hopelessly outclassed had the
1936 team been that nobody sus-
pected what Coach Harry Wolter

was preparing as a treat. And a treat it

 

another fine feather to the cap of Joe Gon-
zales, Troy moundsman, for he not only
pitched his fifteenth straight collegiate win,
but actually hurled a no-hit, no-run game
against the Cards, who had been slugging
the ball heavily from the first of the season.

While Gonzales was holding the Indians
hitless, his own mates found Furman and
Weiershauser for 14 safe blows good for
8 runs.

Card Pitchers Johnson and Rasmussen

fared no better in the second game, although
the score was a lot closer. The Trojans

STANFORD SWIMMERS
ENJOY GOOD SEASON

Overwhelming victories over U.C.L.A.
and Fullerton J.C. swimming teams were
climaxed by Stanford’s mermen at Minne-
apolis, March 27, when the Cards captured
five points in the national intercollegiates for
ninth place.

The Indian aquatic stars are Weatherbe,
Town and Vibert in the medley relay; Pet-
erson and Van Horne in the 220 free style;
Clarke and Scatena in the 60-yard free
style; Winkelman in diving; Clarke and
Tench in the 100-yard free style; Weatherbe
in the back stroke; Towne, Hatch and Whit-
taker in the breast stroke; Needham and
Rider in the 4oo free style, and Clarke, Mac-
Kenzie, Vibert and Scatena in the 4oo-yard
relay.

A NEW SPRING AND...
NEW THOS HEATH CLOTHES

But the same old fashioned standards of fine

tailoring ... personal supervision ... much

handwork and everlasting fussing with details.

Roos Bros

was, for by March 20 Stanford had twice
defeated Santa Clara, twice trimmed Sct.
Mary’s and had won their only engagement

with U.C.L.A.

Three days later the Bruins turned on the
Indians and beat them by a score of 6 to 5.
So well did Southern California’s Trojans
profit from this lesson that they put it to
devastating use two days later, dumping the
Cards quite a distance down the ladder by
taking a double-header.

This damage done, the Cards later re-
covered to beat the San Diego Marines
twice but this, alas, didn’t figure in con-
ference standing.

No Hits, No Runs
The first game with the Trojans added

SAN JOSE - PALO ALTO

 

 

found them for 18 hits good for 12 runs.

~The Indians got only 7 hits good for 9

runs, all of them in the seventh inning.

Best slugger of the Indians is Wally De
Witt, sophomore outfielder and footballer.
In the first St. Mary’s game he hit safely
five out of six times at bat.

They're Ours

Although several of them are on the list
through nominations by coaches of other
sports, the following members of the squad
are recipients of Tiny Buck of the Month
Club tuition awards: Verne Johnson,
pitcher; Bob Matthews and Glenn Hamil-
ton, outfielders; Leo Heagerty and Jimmy
Coffis, catchers, and Frank Farrell, short-
stop.
