bad weather. the playing in the Cam

times. and heavy stick work on the
part Of his teammates soon gave
them a decisive lead. The Delta Sigs
batted Hebenson and Burton. pitch
ers for the Zetas, easily, and scored
at will for a time. Errors on the
part of the Zetas also resulted in a
number of scores. The Delta Sigma
team put up a good exhibition of
baseball in the held and at the bat
and easily outclassed their opponents.
Wiper and Hjalmarson were the hat
terry for the Delta Sigma team: while
Hebenson. Burton and Steidel and
Soule were the battery for the Zetas.
