PHI BETA KAPPA WINS
 FROM FACULTY TEAM High Stand Men Show Their. Knowledge of Baseball by
 Score 20 to 10. SOME GREAT FEATURES How the Mighty Wise Ones Threw the Mightier on
 Yale Diamond.

The faculty of Yale university have arrived within the embracing arms of wicked dilemma. The brightest and best of their students have transforsn- ed their wisdom into the wisdom of the serpent and with cunning, malice and most uncharitable disregard of the duties of the learner to the learned have taken arms against the mighty and besieged that citadel of knowledge the faculty. To expel and so to lose the hardest working, keenest disorders of the pearls of learning from thear midst or to condone and by combining leave to all posterity the example of successful rebellion forgiven. Tine men of Phi Beta Kappa with force and arms did enter on the scroll of Yaless Memorial day a dire defeat for the gentlemen of the faculty in the manly science of baseball
 It all happened yesterday. Yale deld was the stage and the dust of the diA- mond trodden by the vanquished foes of Brave Mother Yale" bore in silent indignation the footsteps of just twen- ty Phi Beta Kappa opponents of the game who pranced across the coveted pentagon of rubber politely dignifled with the title of home plate meaning, of course, not made in Dresden. That twenty Phi's should attempt to wear out the rubber was surely not a crime. But the lese majeste of the day arises | from the fact that but ten of the fa- culty players were permitted to join the great elect.
 With roar that seemed the shad- ow of what will float over that field tomorrow afternoon the first member | of the shark set strode nohly to the plate, well worn copy of Sephocles' famed tAntigone" in one pocket-to read between the innings and a ! lSpaulding, 1907, guide in the other, marked at base running rules" to, read upon arrival at the first station. A dignified cheer from the faculty and a double frog chorus from the ebullenti 4 F. B. Ks and the game was on l It was a long way through The mighty Durfee, he who deals out Flu lropean history to the benighted who seek enlightment, the hero of two past I faculty triumphs ir the annual spring attack of the Kappa men filled the box He generously handed out one stick of candy to the boys in the first which the faculty took back in their half. Another came in the second for the Kappas and the faculty lost the ball ance of things.
 l MT. Durfee then began to serve up the most palatable dishes he has ever presented to Kappa and when the weary faculty players had succeeded in running down three men in the third the score had scared to nine to one. It was nobody's fault It just happen ed. When MT. Merritt, the dealer in cuts and marks in the dean .office att tempted to blow up the turf with his head while stopping a grounder and couldn't get it to first in time and the lively two-stepping of Prof. w. L. Phelps, called Billy" with the aid of all his Browning, couldn't retire the tireless Kappas what could be done? Why score a few for revenge.
 The faculty did. One in the fourth and four in the fifth 1Mr. Malcolm from Australia, the slab artist for the Phi Beta Kappa men, lost his grip and before he could shut off the power the score stood nine to six. Then Kappa woke up again and those last innings were a continuous roundabout.
 Organized cheering sections backed each team Loyalty through the game and the plays and misplays were all heartily cheered and jollied Prof. Phelps, the popular English instructor and Browning enthusiast was the re- cipient of many quotations from his favorite works and when he was re- tired at first took off his hat in ack- nowledgement of Browning's favorite principle which he so ardently lays stress upon, success through failure ? Behind the bat appeared MT. Boggs in uniform from Acadia college, Nova Scotia, at first the famous Lee Mo Clung handled the ball, while at third MT. Fairchild of the economics depart ment loomed up in a Gunnery school uniform. A Rutgers suit occupied left field, the occupant of which was Mir. Conover.
