Pittsburgh Collegians Com
mencement Features
This Week. h.

Is RuCKHANNON,t w. Va, June Ia
Monday and Tuesday the Pittsburgh
Collegians will play here and this Will
and the athletic year for Wesleyan.
All told, the year has been most sue
cessful one for Wesleyan. Two cham
otonships have been won out OF four,
and when it is considered that Wesley:
an has four strong rivals, CHIEF Oh
which is West Virginia University,
contending for the same champion
shius. it is no mean standing that Yves
leyan has taken. No other state inst iy
tuition has won more than one cnatn-
pionship in ma1or sports
The baseball season has been the
most disastrous from the standpoint
az games won and lost that Wesleyan
has experienced In a dozen years: SO
far hut three games have been placed
on the right side Of the ledger Eign-
teen have been lostFand two more are
to be palyed. The COLI gians always
have ii strong team, and If w sleyan.ls
able to split evening the two.game Sc;
ries satisfaction vii III be felt.
More than ordinary interest is being
taken in the Collegian games tor me
reason that Robby Hood hortstop. on
last years Wesleyan champ ionship
team, wills be playing the same posi-
ton ana captaining the pittsburgh az
gregation. Bobby was an Immensely
popular player here, iandE one .otzths
best men in the crack intield that Wes-
ieyan boosted in 1914. This being the
twenty.ffth annual commencement OF
the college and. a large crowd being
here for the exercises, it is expected
H+Lo+ +bat 1aroast crowds of the year
will witness the Collegian games.
