A baseball game was scheduled with
Crete for f o'clock, but on account of
the rain this was abandoned The rain
somewhat marred the pleasures of the
day and perhaps inconvenienced some
couples who were unfortunate enough
to be tar from shelter, but did not seri
ously dampen the ardor of the Sneak

evening but this was also abandoned
and the hilarious thirteens returned to
Lincoln at a late hour, having had
