STATE COLLEGE, PA., APRIL 27, 1905
Old Jupiter Pluvius, the Boss
Rainmaker, was about the whole
show around here during the latter
portion of last week. On Wednes
day the Johnstown Tri-State League
team led by Captain-Manager Charlie
Atherton came here to limber up
for a few days, and for Thursday
afternoon a matcli game was sched
uled, which would surely have been
a hot contest.
But on Thursday it rained!
Undaunted by this reverse Manager
Stamm postponed the game until
Friday afternoon!
But on Friday it rained!
Then Managers Stamm and Ath
erton put their heads together in
disconsolate fashion and decided
that Saturday afternoon would be
the real thing, with the scene of op
erations transferred from State Col
lege to Johnstown.
But on Saturday it didn’t rain!
However, the plenitudinous
precipitations of the preceeding days
had rendered the Johnstown ball
park in a condition unspeakable.
Hence Old Jupe Pluvius is the only
thing that has been mean enough to
defeat State’s Varsity nine this sea
son up to April 24th.
Tuesday morning, April 25th, our
baseball team left on its Eastern
trip, which is in many repects the
most difficult journey ever taken by
a State nine. The games will be
played with the following teams :
Tuesday, Dickinson at Carlisle;
Wednesday, West Point at West
Point; Thursday, Fordham at New
York; Friday, Manhattan at New
York, and on Saturday, Lafayette
at Easton.
The next home game will be with
Dickinson on Friday, May sth.

A. A. Meeting.
A very important meeting of the
Athletic Association was held last
Monday evening at which a number
of things were discussed which
needed immediate attention. Chief
among these was the voting of $250
from the Athletic Association Treas
ury for bleachers, provided that the
board of trustees of the College do
nate an additional $2OO. The
bleachers are to be located on the
same site as those which were
burned in the celebration of the vic
tory over W. U. P. two years ago.
A committee was appointed to
investigate certain old bills which it
is claimed by some should be paid
by the Athletic Association. The
Tennis Cup presented by Mr. Ste
venson, ’95, was accepted. It was
decided to build a new baseball
field between the B@n house and
Annex No. 2. The assistant base
ball manager was authorized to ar
range inter-class baseball games
which would be contested for a
loving cup as in the other branches
of sport. The shape of the track.
“S” was changed to a smaller and
neater design, as it was thought that
the present “S” was too large.
Hereafter a complete record of each
game will be kept by the managers
of the respective Varsity teams and
these records are to be kept on file
by the secretary of the association
for future reference. A number of
amendments to the constitution were
ratified. The meeting concluded
with the nomination of officers for
the Athletic Association and of
assistant football manager.
Yale will soon establish a
college in China.
