Lefty Travers, who is a new man and looks like plenty of worry forj the majority of batters in collegi- ate baseball, was carrying the mound work for the Yannigans for the first four innings. He allowed no runs to be scored, although he got himself into a couple holes in the first three innings that'-might have resulted in runs for the regu- lars. Each time, however, Solly Hudson failed to connect with the hit that would have meant a score and the regulars ahead of him died on base. Score Two in Tenth. Harley MacNeil took over the du- ties on the rubber when Lefty was called in and he did a good job of it most of the time. Starting with the eighth he could see trouble coming, however, and although he, managed to get himself out of bad holes in both the eighth and ninth innings, he was touched for two tie- ing runs in the last. Ken Manuel finished the game for the first team and he too made a good showing considering it was his first time on the rubber in com- petition.

Evans said he was not unappre-. ciative of the general belief that he was the most logical man for the presidency, but described his con- nection as a "happy one."
