AIDE Sieberts, the Aggie first base

nothing on the ball that would place
him in the regular twrIing section, he
had enough to befudle the Bearcats
and the slaughter ended l6 TO o.
The preliminary game between the
Salem high school and the O. A. C.,
freshmen was a lively contest whicn re
suited in a : to victory for the high
school From the bleachers it appeared
that the FRESHMEN played the best
team Of the two. Proctor, the regular
