|. C. WINS AND LOSES
Loses to st. Olaf After Having Game
Cinched.
CARLETON FORFEITS IT'S GAME
Refuses to Adhere to Decision of
Umpire and FOrfeits Game to
Luther, Score 8 to %.

A game is never won until it is
over. This fact was brought home
to many an l.. C. fan" in the st.
Olaf game last Wednesday. After
Luther had scored three runs in the
opening inning, had maintained a
tantillZing lead until the ninth in
ming, and after one man was out, st.
Olaf started batting rally and be-
fore Nygaard or his team mates
could put an end to the havoc, three
"Ole" boys had crossed the plate,
giving st. Olaf lead by the score
of to 5. This proved to be the
final score as Luther failed to &C
complish anything in their half of
the ninth. In the few opening in
nings it appeared as If Luther would
have matters all their own way and
as the game progressed the local
college team seemed to slacken up
a bit. Perhaps they became too
confident. One thing is sure-the
never-give-up spirit of Ben Keefe.
who has been coaching the st. Olaf
team this season, became evident
before the close of the game. After
Luther had scored three times in
the first inning, st. Olaf was vir-
tually presented with a tally in the
second. l.. G.. made aonther in the
fourth, but st. Olaf came right back
with two runs in the fifth. Luther
retaliated with a score in their half
of the sixth, but in the last three
innings Kildahl proved so effective
that further scoring was impossible
We have told what happened in the
ninth inning, and it will suffice to
say that there was great gloom on
the l.. c. campus Wednesday eve
ming, while in Mortified, no doubt,
bonfires burned brightly and joy
reigned supreme. Luther has an
opportunity, however, to retrieve
their loss at Mortified on June Sd,
and 1t is quite possible that they
will turn the tables on their rivals
from Minnesota.

Carleton forfeited the game to
Luther in the eight inning of Mon
days contest. Up to the eighth there
had been no dispute over any de-
cision and that Carleton should re-
refuse to abide by Umpire Shea's de-
cision and "quit the game" came as
a disagreeable surprise. Luck had
been with Carleton from the start,
for while Luther succeeded in get
ting men on bases inning after in
ming, somehow or other, they failed
to take advantage of several oppor-
tunities to score. Mandy" Esten-
son pitched for Luther and although
not a hit was secured off him for
seven innings, he gave four bases on
balls. two of which. one in the sec
ond and one in the sixth, resulted in
runs. Carleton also scored once in
the eighth on 2 hits and "Mandy's"
wild throw over first. Luther came
to bat in the eight with the score
8 to against them. Ringlee wait
ed and was passed to first; p. Preus
was also given free transportation,
and, with mono out, and Waller, who
had already secured two nits, at bat,
matters looked brighter. Tied" did
not disappoint the fans" and made
beautiful swat past short. The
ball went into the field and the left
fielder juegled it long enough
to allow Ringlee and Preus to score.
Before the throw-in Waller had
passed second, and the l.. C. coach
thinking that the ball would be
thrown to third sent Waller back
towards second. Instead. a poor
throw was made to second, and Wal
Ter was importuned to resume his
trip to third. Egeland, Cartoons
second baseman, then threw the ball
ten feet over third, and "Ted" came
home. Carleton at once made the
argument that the runner was only
entitled to go to third on the wild
