So the Story Goes...

Postponed and defaulted House baseball games are to be played off, is the decree of Adolph Samborski, director of intra-mural athletics. And by the looks of the list of contests which have not been run off, this will be a sizeable order.

The total of all the games which were not staged because of some uncontrollable interference, such as inclement weather, amounts up to a half dozen in all, while in addition to this the defaulted engagements come almost up to this same number.

Kirkland is the only club to have gone entirely through its schedule, and this they did without dropping a single contest. So they win the silver mug this year without any dispute whatsoever from any source. The deacons, however, did meet a plenty tough snag, when the Bulldogs came up here last Friday and mangled them to the tune of 11-0.

Adams now holds down the second highest berth in the House circuit with an average of 857, having won six and lost one. But they still have two defaulted games to play off. The only clash dropped by the Gold casters was that with the Deacons.

Winthrop is third on the lists, with a 667 average having one more game and two defaults in which to compete, while the rest of the clubs line up as follows: Eliot, Leverett, Lowell, Brooks, and Dunster.

The defaulted games are as follows: Brooks defaulted to Winthrop, Dunster defaulted to Adams, Lowell defaulted to Winthrop, and Brooks defaulted to Adams.

The postponed games are as follows: Eliot-Brooks. Dunster-Brooks. Loverett Winthrop and Dunster Lowell. The schedule is so arranged that each team will play every other team once.

Coach Tod Hoople's Brooks House eight gets to looking better day by day, as they stroke up and down the River. According to the latest reports, however, they have never been able to better their House record for the Henley of 6 minutes and 59 seconds chalked up in a brush with the second 1937 oarsmen.

To all intents and purposes, and purely from the uninitiated point of view, Arthur Beane, pulling at the number six position, seems to be the smoothest working of all the human-machines in the boat. We'd be willing to lay down a bet--provided it were not for too high stakes--that he would be Varsity material if he were not on pro.

Next Saturday is the big day, though, for then the crew travels to Derby, Connecticut, to stroke it out with the champion crew of the Yale Colleges.
