The baseball-softball has raised a controversial storm. Many of the older veterans are Itrongly opposed to the genie of softball, while it is mostly the younger gen- eration that desires the game. However, if It is impossible to field both a softball and baseball team. it would be a shame to see bauball dropped.

During the past few years. in- tense rivalry has grown between Peakes, Morell and Soouris. It is this rivalry that makes the game exciting. One veteran assured me that if the younger players dropp- ed beseball. that he would collect elteam of vetcraneglike himself to PI!-
