    the Coherence a committee was ap
pointed to arrange a baseball '.schedule
and a tennis tournament. This com
mittee also arranged for the contests in
field events and water sports which
were "held on Saturday afternoon. The
various delegations entered into these
contests and games with regular col
lege vim.
The greatest r : /airy seemed to be in
baseball. Generally two five inning
games were - ,>yed each afternoon.

A plunge from the pier or a
boatride on the bay was a fine way to
close the afternoon of recreation. A few
minutes just before supper found the
whole Conference, young and old, en
joying the lake. The water sports
were pulled off on Saturday after
noon. The Canadians won the rowing
matches. There were many entries
for the various swimming and diving
events. Rainey was an easy winner
in the long dive and in the long dis-
Sophomores Win Inter-class
Track Meet.
The class of 1907 came out victori
ous in the inter-class track meet held
on Beaver Field last Saturday afternoon.
The weather was splendid for a field
meet, the track was in fairly good con
dition, and some fast time was made.
Soon after the beginning of the
events it became evident that the ulti
mate victory would be between the
Seniors and the Sophomores, as the
other two classes were “not in the run
ning.” Every race was interesting
and well-run. The final result was
doubtful up to the last event, the broad
jump, which Montz won for 1907 by a
jump of 21 feet 61 -2 inches. The
tinal score: was 1907, 42 points; 1905,

sports wound up with jilting bouts which
furnished great amusement.
These sports, interspersed with
strolls along the wooded shores of the
lake, an excursion across the bay to
Kelley’s Island or an afternoon journey
to Put In Bay, the scene of Perry’s
victory, helped to make these ten days
long to be remembered.
But our memory lingers about anoth

pleasures of the afternoon have been
forgotten and those three hundred men
are seated in the grove a few feet from
the water’s edge. Of Whom are they
thinking? Listen, the quartet is softly

Thy waves bring back His voice to

Like golden chimes on silver sea:
O Galilee, blue Galilee.”
36 points; 1908, 22 points; and 1906,
17 points.
In the hundred yard dash, Henry of
1907, ran a magnificent race, winning
in 10 1-5 seconds, thus equaling the
college record. In the high hurdles
Forkum,’os, won out in 15 1-5 sec
onds making a new college record, and
equaling the Inter-collegiate record
held by A. C. Kraenslin of Pennsylvania.
It is doubtful if this yecord will be al
lowed to stand as he knocked over all
the hurdles; intact, veritably “scattered
ruin in his path.”' Not finding any
definite ruling in the matter, “Pop”
Golden has written to George W.
Orton, an authority on track athletics,
and a decision, will be withheld until he
has been • heard from. The general
belief is, however, that the first and
last hurdles should be cleared entirely
if a record is to hold.
In the mile run Gregg, 'O7, gave J
Kaiser, ’O6 a merry chase, losing by a
short margin but forcing Kaiser to run
his best race thus far, the time being
4.48.
Each event was, in its own way, in
teresting and exciting, and the time
and distances indicate that a team
worthy in every way of representing
State can be sent down to Carlisle this
week to meet Dickinson and the In
dians.
