Frosh Must Wear Beanies Longer
Because Of Loss At Field Day
On October 3, the Upperclass
men of Wesleyan romped over
the Freshmen, causing the
Freshmen to wear their beanies
an extra week.
To start the afternoon off with
a bang, the Upperclassmen soft
ball team, coached by Denny
Slebert, edged out the Fresh
men in six innings, 8 to 7. The
Upperclassmen opened the game
in the first frane on six singles
and one double. The Freshmen,
coached by Stiles Llvengood,
came back with one run In their
half of the first. The run was
scored by George Watson.
Both teams did not score in
the second inning but the upper
classmen scored one more in the
1 third on Jimmy Troutman’s
homerun.
In the bottom of the fifth,
with the Freshmen behind five
to two, the game became very
lively. The Freshmen needed 3
runs to tie or the game would
be over. With the partisans for
the Freshmen, cheering their
team on, the Frosh were able
to tie the score, sending the
game into extra Innings.
The sixth inning was a very
wild affair with the upperclass
men scoring three runs and the
Freshmen scoring two. This was
the wildest Inning of the game
with a few close calls and re-
ralleys by both teams. Again,
the final score was Upperclass
men eight. Freshmen seven.
In boys volleyball, the Upper
classmen romped again. Don Ev
eret’s volleyball teams beat the
Freshmen team twice, 15-2 and
15-3. The Upperclassmen were
also victorious In the girls’ bas
ketball game, 17-6. Kay Marek’s
team was just too superior for
the Freshmen.
One of the best contests of
the day was the touch football
^me. Early In the game, both
teams tried their running at
tack but because of a muddy field

this was unsuccessful so both
teams turned to the passing
game.
Early In the game, with the
Upperclassmen on offense, they
tried their sleeper play. Mike
Pratt, pretending to be going out
of the game, instead stayed In
the game and Quarterback BUI
Robertson hit him with a touch
down pass. But to the distress
of the Upperclassmen the play
was called back because of an
off-sides penalty. Again In the
first half, Robertson and Pratt
tried the same play. Again It
was good for a touchdown and
ftis time it counted, with Dale
“Animal” Ramey kicking the
extra point, the score was 7-0.
In the first half, both .teams
tried repeated passes, but they
failed. The last scoring threat
for the Freshmen was stopped
by Jim Troutman’s Intercep
tion. The final score again; up
perclassmen 7, Freshmen 0. A

but the most amusing, was the
tug of war. with a large hole
filled with water separating both
teams, there were many people
who got extremely wet. The rules
state: “When one member of a
team Is pulled Into the water,
then all members of that team
must also go Into the water. Dur
ing the course of these events,
there were some going In head
first, backward, and just jump
ing In.
The Upperclassmen won all
four events in the tug of war,
Tien Freshmen boys vs. 10 Up
perclassmen boys, 10 Fresh
men girls and 10 Upperclassmen
girls vs. 5 freshmen boys.
As always. Field Day was a
great success. The Sports De--

their thanks to those who par
