BAS COACH "CHARLIE" HAVENS faced the ]938 baseball season with brighter prospects for a successful campaign than in any of the past several years. The "Terror" mentor had nine lettermen returning from last year's squad which wound in second place in the state league. "Reds" McQuillen, "Bob" Stropp. Adriance, outfielders; "Joe" Drugash, Emil Edmond, "Hy" Koegel, "Lou" Cline, infielders; Fred catcher; and "Buck" Barkdoll, Carroll Cook, moundsmen; formed the for a strong ball club. Only four veterans from the 1937 team were missing when the initial call for oandi- dates went out. To make up for the graduation losses Coach Havens had some good freshman material as well as some new talent from the upper classes. The freshmen who in their first season have made a promising start are Smith, Geister, Bills. Ryan, Kable, and Applegarth. "Doug" Catington and Cole, upperclassmen, have strengthened the mediocre hurling staff considerably. On the receiving end of the battery. "Peck" Martin and "Charlie" Beer. both seniors, have handled themselves like veterans in their first season on the varsity squad. "Charlie" Wallace proved to be a capable understudy for Sturm at the keystone sack.
