The Detroit team this year Is
being rated by the sport scribes

jstgate,
Florence
misnamed Clhrence so frequently
that be is thinking of changing his
name, is an all-round athlete.
Westy expects to be a regular on
the baseball team this season,
either behind the bat or In the out'
held.
As a freshman Westgate was a
catcher and outfielder and a star
In both departments. He batted
well up with the leaders and fielded
like a veteran. Westgate entered
the Whanon School of the Univer
sity from Kalamaxoo State Normal
where he waa catcher on the team
there for three years.
Buck Freeman, the southpaw
hurler in Connie Mack's camji' two
years ago, was one of the hurlera
Westgate used to act as receiver
for.
The dearth of catching material
at She University may mean that
Coach Cariss will use the Michigan
lad behind the bat In case Label
Ooldblatt .Is switched to second
base or shortstop.
Last fall, after, working his way
up from the scrubs, Westgate
earned a place on the varsity elev
en and started the Cornell game In
place of Carl Ertresvaag. who was
on -tie Injured list. Ho covered
himself with glory In that contest
and as a result was awarded the
varsity P.

Stallings bellsves that the future
stars of the big leagues are coming
up from the rank* of college base
