1895-3 The Preps played a return game with the State Normal School at Pock Haven oh May 25th. The boys put up a good game but the teachers were too strong for them and defeated them to the tune of 11 to 8. Sellers, ’97, assistant manager of the Base Ball Association, upon the editorial request of A. G. Spalding, forwarded the list of this year’s games and scores for publication in the next issue of the Spalding Official Guide. At Williamsport, on May 30, our boys met the Demorests, the crack team of that place, and played a very interesting and closely contested game. Nesbit kept the Demorest’s hits well scattered, and until the tenth inning the score was Ito x. The day was very hot and Nesbit showed signs of weakening in the tenth in ning. Atherton pitched the remainder of the game, while Nesbit was placed under the care of two physicians. As usual the Demorests played their last inning strongly and gained four more runs, making the score 5 to 1. Demorest played a return game with State on Beaver Field on June i 2. An unusually large crowd was in attendance, and the boys acquitted themselves admirably, not an error being made 'by the college team. Much enthusiasm prevailed throughout the game, especially at the time of Atherton’s star catch and Rice’s beautiful hit and other neat plays by both teams. The score was: State, 7; Demorest, 2, The Sophomore and Junior mining engineers, accompanied by Prof. Stoek, spent. the two weeks of summer school in the coal regions of Western Pennsylvania, Personals, Calm Profs, for courage When contests begin, Deep Profs, for daring, And slim Profs, for sin, Men Profs, for wisdom, Maid Profs for mirth, Instructors for souls Too sacred for earth. Look now and listen, The last rhyme behold : ’Tis young Profs, and old Profs, And all Profs, for gold. PERSON ADS
