meuted by two or three players
from the Susquehanna University
team lined up against Normal Mon
day afternoon. From the very start
the inequality of the two clubs was
apparent and the all-around superior
strength of the Normalites made
the game a farce. Captain Hayes
changed his men around in about
every way that his ingenuity could
suggest, and even then tlie visitors
were "dead easy." The poor show
ing made against otiier teams pre
ceded the aggregation to this town
and as a result tne spectators were
few in number. Score :
