The 1930 baseball season opens officially at 6.30 o'clock this evening, when the annual dinner for all men who have been awarded their baseball "H" will be held at the Varsity Club. This meeting is the direct preliminary to the call next Tuesday afternoon of all battery candidates for the University nine.
Harold Janvrin, who will pilot the Second University team this spring, will be introduced at the gathering tonight. Janvrin, who played the keystone sack for the Boston Red Sox during their championship days, has also seen major league service with the St. Louis Cardinals and Brooklyn Dodgers.

One of the features of the evening will be the presentation of the Dana J. P. Wingate Trophy and the Wendell Bat. Both these trophies are awarded annually. The former is given to the best all-around player on the team, while the Wendell Bat is awarded on the basis of a point system. Points are recorded on the basis of safe arrivals at first base, sacrifice hits, stolen bases, and runs scored.
