Southpaws on Athletics Team
Six left handed Athletics batters lined up to start a game in Yort Myers Florida, prompting the right handed pitcher to wonder when the right handers would bat. The scene recalled a Southern college team era when every player swung left handed. A visiting team, facing a sea of left handed batters, once used a southpaw outfielder as pitcher and performed respectably before losing.

TwoGood Chosen Captain of Hawkeye Cage Team
Towa City March 31. TwoGood, a 19 year old forward from Sioux City, is named captain of the University of Iowa basketball team for the 1927-28 season, succeeding Wayland Hicks and Charles H. McConnell. He led the team in free throws in Big Ten play and ranked among the top scorers with 54 points. At six feet tall and about 180 pounds, he plays left-handed with a low dribble and was a key right forward alongside George Van Deusen. He previously starred on the football field before a knee injury sidelined him, and he is also considered a promising pitcher for Coach Otto Vogel’s baseball squad.
