the Initial field and track games given by
the freshmen. 1t was not exactly field
day. but, as one Of the senior students re-
marked, "just little athletics for the
youngsters to encourage the sport among
the junior boys"
The day was excellent for the games, and
the clnder path, although not exactly per-
pect, was fair. The management. however,
was not as good as it might have been,
and, as matter of fact, the representa-
tlVes Oh the press had a hare-and-hound
chase among the students to find anybody
VINO could give them particulars.
nhlle the games were in progress the
tennis court was occupied by those who
fancy gentle exercise and ladies' eompany.
The more vigorous students, however, ad-
Journed TO the open field when the athletic
exercises were drawing to close and en-
Joyed a practice game of football, which.
by the way, is now the most popular exer-
else OF the students-yOung and old.
The games begun at o'clock and con-
tlnued until late hour. Colonel Edwards
ana Walker McGee held watches on the
