mobile and trucks in order to take in
the Bar Harbor game yesterday, and
the way in which they cheered the
members of the team was good to
see. When the player on the field
knows he has the moral support of
, the student body, his natural
response is to exert himself to
| greater efforts.
Six weeks ago the Boston Uni
versity summer school of 1922 be-
gan, and in that short time there has
been noticeable improvement both
enthusiastically and physically among
the students attending. The white,
drawn faces, which were settled
upon the vast majority of the
students as result of the strenuous
college year in Boston, are now
changed to rich, healthy counte
| nances, tanned by the summer sun
and invigorating climate of Ellis
worth One has but to look about
him to observe the improvement
which the sun and air have brought
about in the physical well-being of
the students, among whom there are
many who have become incapaci-
tated as the result of their service in
the World war.
Public speaking. How many times
is this subject overlooked by the
average college student when he
glances through the catalogue pre-
paratory to registering for college
term, yet public speaking is an i'm
portant requisite to the student
when he has graduated from the
% mo
we'll. but in most cases it is by his
speech that first impressions are
made. During the past term, Prof.
Hoffman has had two classes en-
rolled under him in public speaking,
which is an outward indication that
the students are eager to receive in
struction in this art
James N Connolly of Lynn has
been given the title of ticketseller
extraordinary. Whenever there is
any local affair or baseball game that
requires a ticket to secure admit
lance, Jimmy is on the job, and it is
a poor day when he does not get rid
of all the tickets he holds in his
hands, for one cannot very we'll re-
fuse to purchase ticket from genial
jim. Besides making himself gen.
orally useful in college activities, he
is never too busy to pay devoted at
tention to Mrs. Connolly and his
little daughter June.
BASEBALL.
In long-drawn-out contest
marred by the loose playing of both
teams, the Boston University sum-
mer school nine defeated the Uni
versity of Maine summer school team
at Wyman park last Saturday by the
score of 16 to 8.
Ed. Jones. who was on the mound
for the local team, worked we'll for
the first three innings. After the
third inning, however, he weakened,
and after eight runs had been col
lected by the visitors, Manager Hor-
| rigan sent Louis Burke into the box
to check the visiting team. From the
moment that Burke entered the
box until the final putout, the star
| twirler of the summer school was
complete mystery to the opposing
team most of the batsmen going
down by the strike-Out route.
The local team started out we'll at
the beginning of the game, and led
the Orono nine by ten runs at the
close of the second inning. The first
half of the third inning, however, the
| Maine team. through a series of wild
! throws, timely hits and errors, cor
rallied eight runs Off Jones before

| base hit on his first trip to the plate.

ball for University of Maine. while
