The high water of Big Sand Creek

see how good it is, as there is no
special desire to back up for half
mile on a hot summer night-again.

since it appears that the fielders are
somewhat handicapped in their eff
forts to judge just where the ball is

team, made up of some regulars and
semi-professionals were defeated by a
score of "a to IL. The game was in
tersperced with many thrills, chief
among them being the ability of the
House of David players to hit and
