Lebanon Valley Defeated
Last Friday afternoon on Beaver
Field State's 'Varsity nine got their
mighty bats to working in the good
old way, and as a consequence the
Lebanon Valley College team re
ceived a sound trouncing, notwith
standing the fact that they played a
plucky, creditable game at all stages.
It was the first time during the
present season that Slate's warriors
got their sticks to working, and
everybody enjoyed the performance.
The visitors opened operations in
great shape by tallying two runs the
very first inning on clean triples by
their Captain, and theirsecond base
man, Ludwig. Then in the third
round Lebanon got another pair of
counters, and the score stood 4 to 1
against State. At this juncture
Havel stick replaced Mitinger in the
box and during the remaining innings
only one hit was secured off
"Stick's" delivery, his "spit" ball
proving especially effective.
Finally in the third inning the fire
works ignited and the air was filled
with dazzling "White and Blue" for
many minutes. With the score 4to
lin Lebanon's favor Yeckley of
gridiron fame opened the'band box
by sending one through the visitors
short-stop, followed by Cree's base
on-balls, and a slashing triple to the
Track House by Kilmer. This
counted for two runs and the next
moment Mason's bingle to right sent
Kilmer over the pan and then Me
-llveen pounded out a screaming
double to middle, Thompson drove
a ripper over second, Haverstick
drew a base on balls and Ross, also
Mahaffey rapped out safe ones, all
of which tallied six runs, and put
the game safely away on cool ice,

The Senior Prom
The regular Senior Prom Dance
took place in McAllister Hall last
Friday evening. Only thirty-five
couples attended, probably on ac
count of the nearness of the Com
mencement dances. Other than
financially, the dance was a success,
the music furnished by the College
Orchestra being exceedingly well
rendered. Early in the evening a
short stag was given so that the
floor was in excellent condition.
The decorations consisted chiefly
of plants from the Botanical building
while Housel acted as caterer.
The programs were of a neat de
sign. The cover was white pleated
paper in a smooth center square of
which appealed the College seal in
blue. "Senior Prom" was written
in gold across the lower edge.
There were twenty-four dances and
four extras which carried the dance
from eight-thirty to about two.
About twenty-five ladies of the Col
lege kindly acted as patronesses.
The committee in charge consist
ed of Rhoades, chairman, D. G.
Mahaffey, Caswell, Clay and Foltz.
On the evening before house
dances were held by the S. A. E.
and the Kappa Sigma Fraternities.
