JWPCE. 9 , y mf-1-M-ff A -M Cillmlggei. A by a 1-O whitewash. Cap donned his suit for the first time since the trip and held down the coacher's box while Ladd proceeded to show up our old friend Saur at the hurling game, ending up the ninth by whiifing the opposing slab- artist, and thus pulling out of a distressing predicament, so to speak. The game abounded in spectacular work, luck somewhat favoring the visitors. Fir- kins made his debut in the center garden and drove in the winning run with a clean hit in the fifth. L'Two, great, glorious, rip-roaring, swash-buckling wins over Coe , as the Record stated, furthered our happiness. The first game saw Ladd again in the box, and, after a hitting fest in the iirst few innings, Palmer replaced Dunlap and the game steadied down to an endurance contest. The Coe team was unable to connect with Deac's knuckle-drop with enough regularity to overcome the Clark lead and the score remained 7-5. Coe, in the return game, determined to take no chances and sent her best pitcher to the mound. Ladd, however, again demonstrated his superiority and allowed only one hit Ca tlukej to be registered in the entire session. There was never a time throughout the game when he was seriously in trouble. Barnes' triple and the ensuing errors in the second fur- nished the scores for the home team, while Repp received an ovation after a bril- liant catch in the sixth. The team certainly played air-tight ball during these games. The work of 4'Tuffy lXluirhead behind the bat left nothing to be desired -except a silencer. The first of June brought the long-deferred Cornell games in the form of a protracted sojourn in their fair city, where the team received the usual royal treatment. The first game was safely tucked away until the last of the ninth when an adverse decision gave us the small end of a 5-6 tally. The next game ended in worse luck yet. In both these games Allen showed his grit by pitching Without the use of his injured arm and, at that, would have won but for numer- ous boneheads and errors pulled off behind his back. The Alumni furnished the real battle of the season. Ladd opposed Allen and the game see-sawed back and forth until the fall of dusk and extreme fatigue induced the participants to bury the hatchet at the close of the twelfth, leaving the score one each in favor of both. As in all sports, the College is to be congratulated upon the showing made by this team. Give us a little material, a little incentive, a good management and we fight the biggest of them. The season would in all probabality have ended with Leander Clark in the topmost rank but for a few unfortunate ac- cidents to her players. Wlien the team won, it won by a good margin, and a .500 percent average is an enviable thing after all. B956 A

xml 'Mm 'RFNX ,Fi - as A - A -- 1915 Cardinal Day The first event of the Cardinal year was the final effort of the class of 1915 to impress upon the school the fact that this was the only great Cardinal ever was or is to be. This took the form of a Cardinal Dayl' occurring on April the ninth. In the celebration they enlisted the faculty and obtained permission to conduct the Chapel and suspend the 10 :20 and 11:10 classes. The class of honor tiled sedately onto the platform at the Chapel hour, each member garbed according to his or her idea of the usual appearance of the in- cumbent of the oflice represented. Ingham as editor, wore a green shade and carried the editor's pillow. He wore no coat and had ink daubed liberally over his sleeves. After announcing that the occasion was to be a loyalty program, Ingham introduced several speakers who were to discuss diiferent phases of college life. Mr. W. A. Dexter as a representative of the business men spoke on HBusi- ness Interests . Next came Hal Riggs in behalf of' the Seniors, C. W. Ennis for the collegeg Mathers for the Sophomores, and Hunter for the Freshmen. After this inspiring program further entertainment was announced at the gymnasium. Enroute the Sophomores discovered the Freshmen in possession of an infinitessimal piece of blue and white cheese cloth, the emblem of their classg riot reigned supreme for a few minutes but ended with no blood spilled as all contestants were pacified with a souvenir of the tattered remains. Inside the gym a push ball contest took place between the same two classes. The ball was a steel barrel filled with water to prevent any unearned gains. The mini- mum of motion was the reward for the maximum expenditure of energy and the faculty found' it necessary to refer the results to arbitration in order to prevent the destruction of the gym and surrounding buildings. Next in order came a desperate five round battle between Kenoyer, the Kansas Demon and Horning, the Dakota Slugger , endingiin a knockout blow delivered by the leather-lunged Horning. Allen, the great white hope, refereed the match insuring a square deal to the opponents. In a prize voting contest, Leigh Ladd was elected the biggest crabber in school by an overwhelming majority. Then came the crowning event, the delivery of the 1915 Cardinal which proved the fondest dreams and boasts of the staff to be well founded, and amid the congratulations of the fellow students the radiantly happy Juniors departed to dwell among the clouds of fame. noaemlf
