All of the teams have been coached by Kenneth C. Beatty who has served with no financial remuneration whatsoever, without the assistance of coach Beatty it is doubtful whether the teams would have ever been put out. The college as a whole owes to Coach Beatty, and the Athletic Committee, a debt it can never repay. Both for the school spirit developed by the teams, and the mental and physical development of the squads.
The baseball diamond was along side the lake in the arboretum, and the Coach for the 1933 season was Kenneth C. Beatty, a Greenville man who had no financial help whatsover in fielding a ball club that played .500 ball.
