Pat Millikan’s barn-storming Trojan baseball nine, fourteen strong, boarded a fast train for the north this morning with the firm resolve of bringing home victories over California and Stanford and thus winning the Honolulu trip offered by their coach.
1 he T rojan track and field aggregation will make the northern trip with the baseball players.
Three Possible Twirlers Schmitz, Tracy and probably Counts will be used on the firing line in the north, according to Coach Millikan. Eddie Marxen and Rex Whittemore will be used in the receiving department. Dick Hillman, Stew Miiler, Clayt Holloway, Scow Curry and Ferry will fill up the infield positions, while Hirsh, Thomas, Blake and Bid-well will be used in the outfiled to grab everything within reach.
Pitcher Schmitz has been going great guns in practice and Millikan may allow him to make his initial debut on the mound in the north.
Team to Rest Millikan’s team will have a short rest, as they do not meet the California freshmen aspirants until next Saturday afternoon. The real test of the I rojan nine will come Tuesday and Wednesday when the California varsity is expected to give the invaders a warm reception. Stanford will be met the first time this year on Friday and Saturday of next week at Palo Alto.
The date set for the return home is Monday, April 3. “The boys have been practicing faithfully,” said Millikan yesterday. “We honestly believe that victory should be ours. The hoys have lost their stage-fright entirely and are working in harmony as a well-balanced squad. We think we will return with the northerner’s scalps. Then Honolulu!"
