header with the Baltimore Orioles here
to-day. The visitors took the first
game by score of to 2, making their
hits count heavily in the early innings
of the strife. In the final struggle,
however, the home team took hand at
smuggling, and won handily with the
totals resting at 9 TO 5.
Newton and Hill occupied the centre
Of the diamond in the first game. The
formers stay extended throughout four
innings. II was a highly instructive
session. and the Bears made five of
their half dozen runs off him. Be-
times Smallwood breezed along. win

the ninth frame that the home pitcher

Baltimore took the bit in its teeth

Providence, June Brown Univef-

thing unforeseen happens it will con-

Professor F. ". Marvel, director OF

great opportunity TO put athletics in
its proper place, develop new men and
give more students an opportunity 70

win more games, but the mere winning
of games should not be the chief ann
and purpose Of educational institutions.
MANY colleges gave up their attn
letic schedules when q few star attn
letes left, thus weakening their teams.
Brown continued. Some gave up be,
cause so many games were cancelled
and they could not stand the loss. we
are taking our medicine and are oher-
ing the students an opportunity 70
play. At this time, when there IS so
much tension in the student BODY u

resume football Thc Thanksgiving

conflicting dates kept the teams apart
on two occasions.
Princeton and Cornell will be played
together for the first time since 1909.
when Fordham, captained by Frank

Princeton by field goal.
Despite the fact that the Maroon
team will lose Captain Lowe and sew
era other players when the Fordham
ambulance unit leaves Tor France. there
will be enough material available 70
turn out a good eleven.

ent TO come out for football next sea-

golf courses on Long Island will be Of
ficially opened for play about the mid

ship Of Brookhaven, three miles from St
