Some three hundred summer stu
dents Joined to make the University
picnic, Wednesday afternoon, a great
success. Baseball, boating and field
meet were features of the day and
most lustily were they enjoyed by the
busy students bent on recreation.
Especially Joyful were the former ad
herents of Kearney who succeeded In
defeating the Peru baseball aggrega
tion, and the Girls' Gym class which
celebrated hilariously en masse and
insisted on winning all the women's
events in the field meet.
A special feature was the wild ride
by the chairman of the refreshments
committee to get extra sandwiches for
the waiting multitude besieging the
commissary department. It Is re
ported that several policemen were
evaded, a dozen fowls killed and a
number of inmates of the insane
asylum made incurable as a result of
the wild dash, but beyond that no
serious injuries resulted.
Mr. Wilson, the chairman of the
central committee, reports that the
picnic Wf 4 a financial as well as a
r
social success.
Almost wto hundred students came
out on the first two cars. . The boats
were popular all evening. As soon as
the picnickers arrived they filled up
all that were to be gotten and soon
the "glassy" surface of the lake was
literally covered with boats bearing
peaceful navigators.
Those not accommodated by the
boats busied themselves at baseball,
three games being played at the same
time. About 5:30 the Kearney-Peru
baseball game was called on the field
Just south of the park, and the two
aggregations of pedagogues proceeded
to revive past days when at their re
spective schools. The . game was an
interesting, hard-fought one, with a
final score of 10 to 6 in favor of Kear
ney Club:
After an ample and tasty picnic
supper, the various organizations of
the University gathered in groups and
selected teams for the track meet.
Those represented were: Peru Club,
Fremont Club, Kearney Club, German
Club, Palladians, and a group of peo
ple not identified with any of these
organizations, also had representa
tives. The Girls' Gym class was repre
sented in all the ladies' events.
100 yard dash, men: Kearney first
and second.
50 yard dash, women: Girls' Gym
class first and second.
50 yard three-legged race, men:
Fremont first, Kearney second.
