...Freshman baseball team won its first game of the season with Noble's School, yesterday afternoon by the score of 8 to 4. Although the opposing pitcher was not at all difficult, the hitting of the Freshmen showed a decided improvement over the form shown in practice. The best playing for the Freshmen was done by Jordan, who made a hit every time he was at bat, and accepted 16 chances without an error.

Structurally the play is somewhat over convential. Although the scenes are full of spirit and often dramatic force, many of the incidents are exasperating if not improbable. The plot is by no means confusing, yet sufficiently interwoven to possess numerous comic incidents punctuated by songs and dances. A commonplace story of love and financial catastrophy is moulded into...
