They hnd been on the road three weeks, and b:lve not lost one of their ele,·en games. They have gath· ered victories oYer such eltcellent teams as Dartmouth. Syracuse, Colgnte, and W~st Point. When we cor1sider the score mad~ ngrunst Tech, or rather the scor~ Tech beld them to-for they have some powerful batters-we feel that Tech rs coming along fasr and should register some more wins before the sea· son die&. \V V managed to get three hits off Bagley, who pitched a fine game of boll.
