for 1911. His speech at the Captain ' s dinner was a horrible affair; — few of the fellows knew that he was attempting one — but he insists he did. With the opening of our last year the cricket prospects are bright. The class XI will have no changes and the first XI has made a good start. But, after all, the greatest cricket boast of 1911 is her undefeated Wogglehug team. On this historic team will be remembered the masterly playing of Rossie, Wink and Dick, Ronald Christie, Worthington and Russell, Cousin Will and Gib Smith — all of whom have left us. But the team is still strong, for Alan, Arnold, Jay, Dan, Towse and Shep still show wonderful form at all times and punch the ball over the ropes on Babbitt Field without the slightest effort. 123

biggest feat of the year was the victory over Penn and the placing of the Intercollegiate cup once more in its proper cabinet in the trophy room. We had Penn ' s first five wickets for seven runs and all were out for sixty-five without an extra. 1911 had a hand in getting every wicket — either caught bowled or run out — but two, and these were taken by a Freshman. In the other Intercollegiate game — that with Cornell — John took six wickets for three runs. On Commencement Day from Founder ' s Porch, Colors were awarded to Taylor and Downing. On June 11, the S. S. Baltic sailed from New York with Haverford ' s fourth English team. Bill immediately surprised the boat — both passengers and crew — by his assurance and success in procuring feminine acquaintances. With the ladies Bill certainly showed results of his constant drill and cam- paign manoeuvres at Bryn Mawr. One particularly bold feat caused great jealously until Bill found other pasture in a French-speaking governess. John immediately became the terror of the bath- steward whom he devoted to the infernal gods one morning when none too gently awakened. John claims that a man is not responsible for what he says at such an hour especially after he has turned his watch forward a whole hour on retiring. To our great surprise Bill did not get lost during the whole trip, Trink ' s record is not so clear. While waiting at a junction cji route to Oxford, John wandered out of sight of the be-plastered cricket luggage. A train pulled into the station and was inspected by John ' s far sighted glasses. As the train was about to start John became flustered, saw a pretty girl in a nearby compartment, and hearing the guard yell Reading hopped in beside her, looking out the window just in time to see his team mates board a train going in the opposite direction. It is not usual to pay one ' s way to gaol, but John disregarded custom for the while. Reading was just 180 ' out of the direction for which John ' s ticket read. However, he saw the famous gaol at Reading and quoted poetry about it when he again found the team five hours later. Bill in the meantime was inspecting the Sunday parade along the river at Oxford and was taking account of the great variety in the color of hosiery. But so much for the frivolity. The record of the team in games won and lost was not particu- larly good. The batting was poor, the bowling fair, but we had the best fielding team that has ever gone across, and no team ever had a better time. Mr. Cope again and again came to the financial aid of the travellers, though Bill is said to have jingled two hay-pennies in his trowser ' s pocket for four weeks without company. After the last school game — that at Rossall — in the hotel at Fleetwood, Taylor was elected captain 122
