Description:	THE NORMAL ADVANCE151About the best game which the Teachers played on the home floor was the one with Earlham which resulted in a 24 to 21 score with Normal on the long end. This was by far the fastest game played by Normal in the Normal gym and was one of the fastest college games played in the city during the season. In the first half, we assumed the lead and main¬ tained it throughout but at the start of the sec¬ ond period the Quakers came back strong and soon took the lead. It was only a remarkable burst of speed toward the end of the conflict that put it on the right of the book. The re¬ sults of all the games played are as follows:Normal, 57 Merom College, 12 home.Normal, 48 Danville Normal, 19 home.Normal 47 Normal Alumni, 18 home.Normal, 37 Vincennes Y. M. C. A., 32 away.Normal, 17 Earlham Illinois Normal, 29  away.Normal, 23 Purdue University, 42 away.Normal, 26 Normal (111.) Normal, 31 home.Normal, 25 Franklin College, 12 home.Normal, 24 Earlham College, 21 home.Normal, 25 Franklin College, 22 away.Normal, 26 Arkansas Aggies, 31 home.Normal, 32 Hanover College, 20 away.Normal, 33 Hanover College, 20 away.Normal, 49 Moores Hill College, 28 away.Normal, 63 Eastern Illinois Normal, 8  home.Normal, 59 Moores Hill College, 26 home.These results give Normal a total of 559 points to 351 for the opponents.All attention is now being centered upon baseball, and from the present outlook we should have a baseball team that will equal if not better the record of our basketball five.Many of the last years stars have already signed up while the recruits are a promising lot. Among the old heads who have already signed up are Crim, Clarke, Hogue, Knauthand Merker, while the following last years men will enter in time for play: Brown, Moore, Bayh, Brewer, Fortner, Wissel and Mussel- man.The pitching end of the argument is ex¬ pected to be upheld in great shape by Crim, Fortner, Moore and Wissel. Every position is sought by members of last years combination, but the recruits will be given a chance to show. Manager R. A. Hoffman expects the teachers to land high in the state race this season.There is not a single position cinched on the team and the best men will be selected regard¬ less of past history. The school is going out for the state championship this season and we ex¬ pect to see the teachers win. The prospects are that several of the old heads will not land steady berths unless they get in the thickest and fight.A training table will be instituted so that the men will always be fit to give their team their best efforts. The team will be provided with new uniforms and Parsons Field will be gone over before the opening contest. The band of 15 pieces organized some weeks ago will be secured to furnish music at the home games.The schedule arranged by Manager Hoffman calls for 14 games, the first being slated for April 15 with Indiana U. at Bloomington. The season will end June 10 with the E. I. S. N. team opposing the teachers at Parsons Field. The schedule:April 15—Indiana University at Blooming¬ ton.April 18—E. I. S. N. at Charleston, 111.April 25—Butler at Parsons Field.May 1—Franklin at Franklin.May 9—DePauw at Parsons Field.May 16-^-Franklin at Parsons Feild.May 20—Moores Hill at Parsons Field.May 23—Earlham at Parsons Field.May 25—DePauw at Greencastle.
