MIRACLE MAN" 18 MANAGER Who’s Who on Penn Squad 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. Westgate Is 'twenty-one years old. weighs 160 pounds.
