'44 Nine Thumbers Swap But For Wellesley Ride

In view of the recent athletic budget slash, here's a note for Bill Bingham's book. For from stopped when their bus developed pump trouble in the vicinity of Danvers on their way to Exeter Saturday afternoon, the Freshman baseball squad threw duffle bags into Coach Samborski's car and took up their stand along the Newburyport Turnpike in groups to two or three.

As the Saturday afternoon traffic Whizzed by, their cultured thumbs snared vehicles ranging from a hen crate carrier to a 1941 Buick convertible headed for Rye Beach with two Wellesley girls. One hour and a half later the entire playing squad was leisurely going through their warmup on the Exeter diamond.
