CLASS GAMES.
In the Soph-Fresh series of
games, the Sophs won the second
game by a score of 5 to 4. But
the Freshmen turned the tables
on them the following day, de
feating them by a score of 5 to 2,
thereby winning the best two in
three.
The Fresh will very probably
play the Seniors for the cham
pionship of college, as the Junior
class cannot put out a nine.
These inter-class contests
should be encouraged. They are
often the means of bringing out
good latent material that other
wise would pass undiscovered,
and during the past few years,
some of our star players were first
brought prominently forward in
these class games.
These games beget class pride.
Let us have more rivalry among
thestudents. Opposition and
antagonism underlie progress.
