The I 1927 base ball team of the liighi school is rapidly whipping into ,form J in spite of the cold weather and the j rain. The squad has been holding daily workouts for the past two weeks in preparation for one of the henv-. iest schodules ever undertaken by the high school athletic authorities. Practically the entire responsibil-> ity of receiveng falls to Henry, the 4'Babe Ruth" of the team. His work behind the plate has been the out standing feature of the seasno's worn outs. The pitching proposition this year revolves around the important parsonages of Fincannon and Mon teith. Each have had previous ex-1 ponence in this department ana coupled with their ability to master any problems on the diamond, the' team will not be wanting in this line. Buchanan, the "crooked arm" shorty of the squad bids fair to hold down "old first base." At second base "Guffy" Leathcrwood, and hia suspenders seem to be outstanding Shoit stop, in all probability will be handled by "Doc", a veteran cf last I i citvons squad, an^ a promising young short stop. The "hot corner" is still <><-v hot and unsettled. During the past week "Love" Ensley has been displaying some fast form and de termination to master the covete^ po sition D.ills, last seasons "hot cor ner ace" has not as yet made his ap pearance, due to illness.
