Kansas University Weekly. ATHLETICS.
SENIORS 6. JUNIORS 3.
The third of the class games of base ball inaugurated by Prof. Adams was played Saturday last on McCook field.
The game was an interesting struggle of five innings of forty minutes duration, between the Junior and Senior classes. A good crowd assembled to witness the contest, and class spirit ran high.
It had been rumored that the Juniors had something "up their sleeves," and that unless things came their way, sensational developments might be looked for. In each man's face was a "do or die" expression. It was in the second inning when things began to look dark for them owing to an inability to connect with Hill's curues, that Captain Hester called Jerry Glathart and his chorus to the side lines. Such demonstation of genuine "roasting" was never before heard on McCook field, but it was all in vain. Do what they could to even up matters in the recent promenade escapade, the lamented Juniors were forced to "bite the dust." The game was well played throughout, and will do much toward keeping up the interest in the class games. The battery work of both teams was strong. The features were Hill's pitching and the rain storm which called the game at the end of the fifth inning.

Wagner pitched a strong game striking out eleven of the Fort team. In the seventh inning Wagener let down a little as did the support back of him, and the Fort boys were allowed to win.
The University base ball team met defeat last Saturday at the hands of the Fort team at Ft. Leavenworth. The game is reported to have been an interesting one, which should have been won by the home team.
