I Me Cann May
Pitch Again For
Devils
One week ago, after much com
ment and rain, Elon and Duke
finally played a baseball game.
Well you know what tlie outcome
was, Duke 6-1. The Cannonade
gets another chance at the Blue
Devils Wednesday, and you can
bet a bag of beans that the men
of Hendrickson will be out there
hustling for a victory, just as
Duke did when they were here.
Coach Jack Coombs of Duke is
a very smart man and so it
would be difficult to say who he
will start on the mound, but it
will be either McCann or Mock.
Coach Hendrickson has not yet
made a decision who will do his
