1929 Cedrus Yearbook

The C edrus OUTLOOK I'OR 1929 As the days continue to become longer and warmer, the prospects of a winning baseball team this spring becomes brighter. Letter men available for the team are: Itutan, catcher; Smith, first base; Fanner, short-top; S. Lycn, Walter Boyer, and Armstrong, outfielders. This shows that the places of several of last year’s regulars must be filled by new men. The catching department may not be as strong "as it was last year, but Rutan and Wendell Boyer should be able to handle the receiving problem. * The pitching prospects look good, with A. Turner probably carrying the brunt of the burden, and Coy and B. Turner helping out. At this time the infield looks very uncertain with only Tanner and Smith sure of regular positions. Among the new men who look as if they might receive reg­ ular berths are Hinton, first base or outfield; Wade Turner, who locks as if lie might solve Coach Borst’s problem at second, and Allen, who will try for an infield position. Other promising players out for the team are Collins, Rowsey, Frazier, Itosc- berry and Scott. T h e o u t f i e ld , f e a t u r in g S .
