Crushing Defeat-ScOre, ~ TO ID
in Favor of Professors.

The university professors defeated the
senior class baseball team yesterday
afternoon in one OF the pest matSnes
of the contest the score stood " to 10 IN
favor of the faculty. and their aggre-
cation. grouping together In the middle
and dirt on their faces, their bruised
forms and manned limbs, gave vent to a
wild shout of triumph: From the soo
people who witnessed the struggle came
a hoarse cheer In answer, while the senior
girls, who had vainly endeavored to rally
their players up to the last moment, join
ed in with the class yell.
dent ~ Graves s,ss pro- "The way slid
on the back of my neck was the great
feature of the contest"
mo. I was the star" declared DR.. Cole
grove. who made the spectacular catch
OF the game. Now. my fielding-"
"You are both wrong" said Prof. Van.
der Veer, my pitching won the match"
And the question is still unsettled.
The suits worn by the professors were
things of beauty. Dr. Byers was In
negligee costume, protected by rubber
apron. while Prof. Landes was magnif-
white and blue shirt and a baseball cap.
DR.. Graves wore overalls and a jumper.
An ambulance for the faculty in charge
Of Miss Ober and Miss Hansee occupied
one corner of the campus, and had
large assortment of liniment. drugs and
candy. The professors. however, did not
require Its services, as they sustained
no serious injuries. On the other hand.
the seniors looked as IL they had partici-
pated in a free-for-al fight before the
second inning was over. Instead of hav-
ing to help their rivals to a hospital, as
they had boosted they would. they them
selves seemed fit subjects for such treat
ment before the game had progressed
very far They were up against 1t in
real earnest.
The seniors were outclassed from the
first, the professors playing with a dash
and vim that seemed to completely de-
moralize them. All through the game
the victors did just what they liked with
their opponents. 1t was slaughter from
the very start. The faculty seemed
hungry for the fray. perhaps wishing to
repay the seniors for some things that
happened at the class day exercises.
The game began at $3.50 o'clock with
the seniors at the bat. and although they
was apparent that the faculty had bet
ter team work. For short time the
result seemed in doubt, when suddenly
the professors began to forge ahead.
The way in which the learned instruct
ors slid to the bases. hit the ball all over
the field and made home runs by the twos
and threes was remarkable. In vain the
seniors rallied time and again, In answer
to the appeals of the Goods" Each new
effort was turned down numerically by
the rival team. To crown their humilia-
ton they seemed unable to hold the bail
and missed many good catches.
The all-around playing OF Prof. Landes
deserves special mention, as also DR.. Cole
groves work at centerield. In the box
| the faculty had strong combination in
Prot. Wander Veer and Prof. Fuller.
