X - ' Of f!)e anloersifp or Missouri Vol. XII Columbia, Mo., Saturday, April 8, 1905 Number 26 ATHLETICS. Missouri, 10; Westminster, 0. The score lolls only a pari or iho slory. II does not loll how completely the Tigers had Ihe opposing team in hand. It does not tell that only two lilts woie made off the masterly pitching of NoilheuU and that only that number of men succeeded in get-ting on bases. It does not loll lhat twelve men of Iho opposing baiters wont the "ozone urate" to the bench. Tt does not toll that not a single man go! hiH base on balls. Neither does it tell that there was not a single error by the members of the Missouri team, and (hat thero were ten good clean hits chalked up 1o ihe credit of the batters, several of them of the extra base variety. It is in the particulars that the game tells what the team did. Of course- - it is to be lemcmbered that the fielders had liUle to do. There was very little sharp hitting. But the fact that there was not a single cr-lo- r in the first game of the season shows, thai a good lot of ball players are in good condition. In the pitching department Northcutt showed that he has all his old cunning, and Mien some. Tlis speed was just as warm as ever, he used the same cool judgment in every ease, and his control was all that could be desired of any pitcher. There was never a iime in the game when there seemed to be even a chance for a man io get his base on balls. Barring accidents to this pitcher a majority of Missouri's games will be won when he is in the box. Behind the bat Bon-i'oe- y did ihe good work which was predicted in these columns last week. Ho did not have to contend with the problem of men on bases, it is true, but from the way he did the work it would have made little differ-ence if there had been men on bases to watch. With just a little more certainty for the low ones Bonfoey will be safe enough. The men in the field did all thev could find a cbance to do. Every one of them played the game and the fact that there were no errors and only two hits makes it unnecessary to go into any detail as to this part of the game. At bat Fawks and Edv carried the honors, Fawks having three hits to his credit one for three baes, and Edv two, one of them a double. Catron, Newman, Wright, Big-ger and Bonfoey landed safely for one each. It must be admitted that the Westminster team is not up to the standard of last year. There was a good deal of raw plaving by some of the men. But two features from their standpoint are worth noting. Their triple play was noteworthy though it was the result of a peculiar circumstance, rather than of fast playing. Indeed the slow work at other times made it possible but then it was a triple play and they do not come often in any kind of game. The pitcher did fairly good work during the entire game and at one time distinguished himself bv striking out two men when the bases were full. Aside from these two circumstances there was not much baseball on the side of the collegians. It must be admitted that the game was slow. There was little in it to make for snappy playing for in the early innings it became evident that there would be no real contest. The game was won safe enough and there was no reason for getting down to a real intense kind of work. But it might be well enough even in these games that are easy to get up steam for the games which will not be so. The habit of playing for blood might be worth a good deal. For this game ten runs are enough to win and just as good as twenty. But there are games coming when to win every possible force will have to he exeited to drive men around the diamond. It might be well to get m the habit of doing that now. The game to-da- y will likely be a pretty good one. There have been, and are, some athletes at Wentworth, and baseball is their main hold m athletics. In a game with Cen-tral High School of Kansas City last Satur-day the Military boys won with ease. There ought at least to be a more snappy game than that of last week. INTER-SCHOLASTI- C TRACK MEET. An event that is of the greatest import-ance to the Univeisity and to athletics in the State is the Inter-Scholast- ic Track and Field meet which is to be held in Colum-bia on Rollins Field May 6. It is the pur-pose of the Athletic Department here to make this event one of annual occurrence. The first held in 1903, was quite successful and that there was none last year was due to the lack of funds with which to carry on the work. It is expected that much will be accomplished by these meets in arousing interest m athletics in the high schools of the State, and certainly there will be a ten-dency to bring athletes from tbe high schools to the University. In the coming meet the Department of Athletics plans to give several medals, gold, silver, and bronze, to the winners of the dif-ferent events; to give a trophy banner to the school winning the Inter-Hig- h School Relay Race; and to present a trophy cup to the school which wins the highest total number of points. Several schools have already decided to enter teams. Central and Manual, both of Kansas City and St. Louis will have teams in the meet and these entries alone would assure an interesting program. But they will not be alone in the contest for honors. Blees, the winner of the meet two years ago is to be counted in, Smitb Academy also was a strong contestant in tbe former meet, and there are a number of other high schools in the State which will put in teams of con-siderable strength. It is safe to say that there will be in this contest the greatest ar-ray of track men from secondary schools that ever came together in Missouri and every event should be interesting. This day will be an interesting one, not only to the high schools, but to the Univer-sity. An extensive program has been ar-ranged for the entertainment of the visitors. There will be a convention of high school principals another of Mathematics teachers, and no telling how many more before the lists are closed. It is to be High School Day at the University There will be a baseball game between Central High Schools of Kan-sas City and St. Louis and all the high school people who come will be feasted at noon on the campus of the University, this part of the program being in charge of the University girls. All the details can not be told at this time but of this much make certain; May 6 will be a great day. There will be things doing at that time which will be of interest to everybody. The full program for the day with a list of the entries for the Track and Field Meet will be published in a later number. HIGH SCHOOL DAY. Saturday, May 6, will be High School Day at the University. This will be the first attempt of Missouri to set aside an en-tire day for the high schools of the State, on which to throw open the doors of the different departments for their inspection. A high school day has been observed as a custom by all the larger colleges of the west for some years. The idea is to bring all the preparatory schools of the State in closer touch with each other and to stimu-late a desire among their students for a higher educational training. The feature of the day will be the ath-letic contests between the different schools both on track and field and on the base-ball diamond. There will be all the events of a regular field day between all the high schools of the State and a baseball game between the Central High School of St. Louis and Kan-sas City. In addition to the above events there will be a relay race between the differ-ent classes of the University. The manage-ment proposes to give gold, silver and bronze medals as first, second and third prizes, respectively to winners of the events, and to furnish ribbons to winners of fourth and fifth places. A trophy banner will be given to the team that wins the inter-hig- h school relay race and a loving cup to the school whose team secures the highest total number of points. Manager Caldwell and Coach McLean are visiting the St. Louis and Kansas City schools and are making preparations to make the occasion a success-ful one. The program for the day and the particulars for the reception of the visiting teachers and students will appear in a later issue. Y. M. C. A. OFFICERS ELECTED. The following Y. M. C. A. officers have been elected for the coming year, beginning April 1: ., . President, James D. Ellis; vice president, H. W. Anderson, secretary, H. V. Beeman; treasurer, James N. Price. All these men will be seniors next year with the excep-tion of Price, who will take post graduate work in the Agricultural Department. El-lis and Anderson are Academic students, and Beeman is a lawyer.
