Other Information: An article copied from New Ulm Journal somewhere around the late 1930's reported how Dick Eichten (with a busy mop) had a triple and single erased in a big game against Lafayette. It is believed the article was a oopy from microfilm made of Journals in 1938 or 1937 when Eichten was finishing up high school. It was written by Gaerth Hiebert, then the Journal sportswriter and later became the Oliver Towne of the Minneapolis Star. (2) When determined, this object should be corrected.
