ceiient Material.


The athletic meet at the Arrnory last
evening for the benefit Of the University
Athletic Association vas a disappointment
so far as the box receipts went II IS
doubtful II enough money was taken in 20
6efray the expenses On the other hand.
the different exhibitions were interesting,
in many cases OF excellent merit.
The two basket BAH teams representing
the university Iightweights and heavy
weights were defeated by the Y. II. C. A
and the :. A C.. respectively, the score
being So in each game. There was nothing
hnmiltafing IN either defeat. for the games
were closely contested In the heavy
weight game the :. A C and the unfver-
sisy had TO play off tie. and il was only
after the hottest and most scientific play
ing Of the evening that the :. A c. man
aged 70 get the needed goal. One specially
weak point exhibited By all the teams was
that Of goal throwing. One OF the best
critics in the city said IL was awful How
ever. the light was not good. the distance
was different than usually used and the
goals were very springy
Last evening showed a great deal TO any
one who has been watching the develop
ment OF athletics at the university. The
Improvement has been something wonder
fGl and there Is no iiScounting the fact
that the university has good material
The university heavyweight basket ball
team needs TO play against strong teams TO
develop Its full strength. but last night
there was no getting around the fact that
fer while after the game was commenced
the passing and ail-around team work
was superior 10 that OF the s. A.
C. men. OF course. the craekajack
team of the 5. A. c. was not out in
fuli force. although some Of its men,
bers were in the game. Delfel and Seribner
gave a pretty exhibition Of tumbling. and
received the heartiest applause OF the even
ing. In the horizontal bar work Cotton
would probably have taken the prize. For
finished, graceful work Allaine was the
best, Notwithstanding that he made three
slips on the someTsaur finish. The boxing
match between Cummings and temple
would have gone to the former on points.
temple had his nose skinned. so the fourth
round was omitted
