Those who accompanied the baseball team to Delaware were more than pleased with the show• ing made by the team last Satur• day. The game was slow on ac• count of the heaviness of the field. Several serious errors were due to wind and mud. A s ide from the first inning when 0. W. U. scored three runs without a hit after two men were down, the game was close and exciting. This bunch of runs was due to a comedy of errors bunched up at the wrong time. Graybill and Smith allow• ed only 4 hits in the whole game. Spitler at catch is doing well and ..has proven his ability to hold the position down. In the in field Strahl, Kring and Keller did good work. Leibcap's error was due to his accepting a chance which led him through a pool of water and over a mound of Delaware mud.

The weakness af both teams lay in their inability to hit. There was only one earned run in the course of the game.

0. W. U. have a fine gym• nasium. Good shower baths and a big plunge in connection helped to make things pleasant for the boys.

It wc.>s a fast game considering the mud, it being played in 1. 30 minutes. The first game at home will be next Saturday. If you can't go to Colum bus Wednesday don't fail to make arrangements to see the game Saturday. The boy need the support of every student in school.

Pitcher Webb, the Delaware Southpaw, is po!ISibly the best college pitcher in the state. He throws a very swift ball with a short qi.lick curve right at the plate. Strahl, however, again succeeded in getting two hits and Titus ca.ne home with one credit- here Friday. ed to him.

arriving all were told to proceed to the gymnasium floor. On e l·ra·:~ Je~t:i~pe l~U: i.~sion Stu;l'.y;;-~= tering each person was presented' with the Bible Study. with a brightly colored Easter egg and each gentleman told to write his name on the egg given him. These eggs bearing the g entle• men's names were placed in a row in the center of the floor and the ladies each given a chance to roll an egg at them. To hit a gentle• man's egg was to secure him as partner for the evening. This af. forded much fun, as did the con• tests following. Carrying an egg by a spoon held in the mouth was an easy stunt for Mr. Leibcap. Mr. Weaver, our "Jimmy," was most successful in placing an egg in a box in the center of the floor, after being blindfolded and whirled about several times. The two victors were rewarded b1 Mr. Ey. man, master of ceremonies, with several large cookies. After re• tiring to the parlor, visiting the punch bowl en route, the program was varied by music by a quartet consisting of Baird, Shearer, Trim• mer and Funk; readings by Miss Young and Mr. Worman and vocal solos by Miss Yager. Re• freshments were served consisting of Neapolitan ice cream, nabrscos and drops.

S. L. Postlethwaite, of Casr.bridge, 0., was in town last week. Rev. Cunningham, of Dayton, 0., is spending a Jew days with his Westerville friends.

A feature of college life often overlooked by the average student is the opportunities presented for building up stong manhood and womanhood. The physical is given little consideratio n in these days of hurry and worry.

Every student is striving to acquire a full college education and in pursuit of this, little attention is given to perfect ing the machinery of the mind. As a consequence, many students are forced to drop out of college because the are hysical wrecks. Scores of cases are thus effected- every year and many come to our personal knowledge.

What a mistake is made! Being completely in ensible of anythin g but the purpose in view, the student disregards all the sacred

symmetrical man. Many other examples might be mentioned to illustrate our point, and who would serve to encourage those who recognize the importance of our claim and warn those who pay no attention.

New Heating Plant

At a meeting of the prudential committee of the bo a rd of trustee s held in th e pres ident's office last vVednesday , the contract was let for the er e ction of the ce ntral heating plant. The Evans­

A lmir a ll Co. , of Washington , D. C. were · the successful bidders their price being in the neighborhood of ten thousand dollars. A tnoroughly mod€ r n heating system will be installed, capable of furnishing ample heat for all the buildings.

T h e plant will connect with the several buildings by means of main pipe lines which will be protected by a heavy covering of durable quality

At the present time , it is not contemplated that a lighting system will be installed but sufficient room will be allowe d in the new building for a modern electric light station.

The building will be of modern construction, most likely of select brick and w ' be situ ated on the northwest corner of the athletic field. The plant will be completed by early fall.

Football Captain Elected.

At a meeting of all who played two full halves during the recent football season, held in the chapel on Friday morning, Mr. Otto A. Bailey, '07, was elected captain for next year's team. Probably no better choice could have been made, for the captain -elect is a man of extensive experience and ability. As guard on last year's team, Mr. Bailey played a good game, and was never known to lose his head. We congratulate Mr. Bailey and wish him the greatest amount of success.
