UPPER CLASSMEN AND
FACULTY TO MEET ON
DIAMOND NEXT WEEK
Climax of the Baseball Season
Comes When Tutors and the
Bookworms Cross Bats In
Diamond Classic.
Normal baseball fans need not think
that the baseball season is over today.
By far the most thrilling game of the
season will .be played on Evans Field
some day during the coming week when
the Faculty stars cross bats with the
Junior-Senior Bookworms. Manager
Walker of -the Upper-classmen started
out with good strategy by trying to
stage the game on Tuesday, but the
Tutors, who were once stars of the
diamond, thwarted" this scheme by
having the game postponed to some
day later in the week. The Faculty
•players are wise. They realize that
time and lack of practice slows up
a ball player, and in order to get in
seme gdod practice to iron the kinks
in, their muscular systems they flatly
refused to meet their younger oppon-
ents until they have had a few days
to practice. Consequently the great
game will probably be played on Fri-
day or Saturday afternoon.
It is reported that the Faculty re-
cruits will report for practice early in
the week. Students hoping to see
them work-out, however, will be dis-
appointed for the gates of Evans Field
are to be closed. Whether the Tutors
are to do their practice in secret be-
cause they are afraid some Upper-
classman will see what they have, or
what they have not, is a question of no
little comment. • Several members of
the Junior-Senior team have voiced
their opinion to the effect that the se-
cret practice is to prevent the latter.
The Star has^ used every means pos-
sible to unearth some information
with regard to the Faculty line-up,
but so far not the least hint as to who
. will play has been given out. Manager
Shelton is signing up ambitious try-
outs every day, and it is likely that
quite a number of the Pedagogs will
get to watch the game from the bench.
Although nothing definite has been
given out regarding the Faculty line-
up, current opinion on the Hill, of
course, names several in particular.
Manager SHdlton will of course, be'
one of the shining stars for his team,
and also Coach Sheffield. On this
pair the Tutors are doubtless relying
to stop the heavy hitters, (if there
should happen to be any) of the Book-
worms^ The Bobcat mentor is in his
right realm both in the box and be-
hind the bat, so it is altogether prob-
able that he and the Manager will al-
ternate in the two positions.
In past years the Tutors have never
been bothered for a first baseman, but
since Mr. Woodson is away they will
doubtless have to call on Prof. Hugo*
Bachle to hold down that bag. This
lad is new at the game, and whether
he can stick in higher company is a
problem that the first few days of prac-
tice will have to solve. Mr. Thomas
will very likely be seen back at his
old stamping grounds around second.
The head of the English Department
is a veteran at the keystone bag, and
has been a consistent star in nearly
all of. the Faculty-Student games.
The rest of the Faculty line-up is
nothing short of a mystery. Coach
Strahan, Mr. White, Mr. Ingenhuett,
.* Mr. Smith, Mr. Harry and Mr. Den-
man will likely be seen in uniform,
but where they will play is something
that even Manager Shelton probably
does not know.
The question of umpiring is also
being discussed with considerable
animation. There have been a great
many more applications for the job,
or jobs, than there are places to be
filled. Some are contending for. four
■umpires, one behind the bat and one
at every base, just like is done in all
the big ball games, but some of the
Upper-classmen have objected to this
on the ground that one umpire will be
enough to give the game away, much
less four. That, however, is still an
unsettled question.
The Junior-Senior line-up is com-
pleted and will probably run some-
thing like this: Devinney and Cain,
pitchers; Kellam, catcher; Hildreth,
first base; Walker (Mgr.) second base;
Devinney, third base; Baines, short
stop; Pochman, Briesemeister, Ivey,
Dobbins, Young, Saunders and Stro-
man, out-fielders.
BOBCATS WIN FINAL
T. I. A. A. GAME
Sensational Ninth Inning Rally
Gives Normal the Final Game
Against Austin College.
Ending up their T. I. A. A. sealson
with a sensational ninth inning rally,
the Bobcats last Saturday came back
against the Austin College Kangaroos
and got revenge for their defeat of the
day before, winning by a 7 to 6 score.
The Kangaroos took the lead early in
the game and were able to maintain
it up to the final inning. With the
score standing 6 to 2 against them,
Coach Sheffield sent “Big” Kallina in
to hit for Tate in the last half of the
ninth, and the pinch hitter hit one so
hard to short .that it could not be
fielded. Brown advanced him a notch
but was thrown out at first. Pete
then hit one down the left field foul
line for two bases, scoring Kallina.
Brassell rriade the second out, but
Terry Lowman scored Shands with a
triple to right. Davis doubled to right,
scoring Lowman with the tieing run.
Duckett then came .up and on the first
ball pitched delivered his fourth hit
of the game. It was a high ball over
the outfield and went for three bases.
This hit brought in the winning run
and broke up the game.
Capt. Tate, working for Normal on
the mound, had a bad beginning, but
settled down and pitched good ball
after that. His team failed to give him
the proper support, and consequently
the Kangaroos almost got away with
the second garde. But in that last in-
ning the Cat offense made up for all
errors of the defense. The team booted
the game away and then turned in and
won it again.
The Kangaroos pitched their ace in
Saturday’s game and were banking
strong, on him to win. Through the
miscues of the Cat fielders, and a
timely hit or two, they got enough
runs to win ordinarily, but the ” Cats
were on a batting spree that even
Littlejohn was unable to stop. For
eight innings the Cat batters waited
him out and then in the final frame
pounced upon him with all four paws.
Saturday’s game ended the T. I. A.
A. season for the Cats. In the eleven
Association games played the Bobcats
won five and lost six, finishing just
under tfie .500 mark.

DEMONSTRATION COTTAGE
Practically Completed Now, But
Has Been Occupied Since the
Beginning of the Term.
THE SELECTION FOR NEXT
WEEK’S COMMUNITY SING
Pegging Along.
I’m pegigng along, dear,
Now right and now wrong, dear,
And always the best I can do
Responds to the thought, dear,
Contentment is lost, dear,
By pegging along just for you.
Today and tomorrow,
Thru! and thru sorrow,
Whatever the sky I may view,
My thought and endeavor are summed
up forever
In pegging along dear, for you.
And so, as I wend, dear,
Those highways which end, dear,
At last in the firmament blue,
I’ll hum in my heart, dear,
Till death us do part, dear,
I’m pegging along, dear, for you.

General Assembly Wednesday.
The devotional exercises at general
assembly were conducted by Rev. J.
M. Perry, pastor of the local Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, who talked ef-
fectively and beneficially on the topic,
“Be strong, be natupral, be religious.”
Mrs. Lillie T. Shaver, former Dean
of Women here, responded pleasingly
and appropriately to the request for a
short speech, by quoting an old in-
scription she had seen on an old
wall somewhere in Europe—“To know,
to do. and to be.”
The Demonstration Cottage—that’s
what we have to call it now—Is prac-
tically complete, and has been occu-
pied since the beginning of this term,
even though some of it remains to be
completed and equipped. The founda^
j tion is being laid for the porch at the
north entrance. With the completion
and painting, of this porch, the out-
side will be finished. On the inside the
electric fixtures, the Swiss curtains
for the upstairs and one dresser, are
yet lacking.
The purpose of this cottage is to give
j three months training of actual prac-
j tice to Senior Home Economics stu-
I dents who are making this their major
j subject. The College furnishes and
maintains the cottage and equipment;
; the students provide their own main-
jtenance collectively, sharing equally in
{maintenance expense. The individual
expenses of the students will vary
| from time to time, Ifreing at present
I $13.30 per month. This includes laun-
j dry, lights, fuel, groceries, water and
I incidentals, no charge being made for
j domestic labor, since the students do
i that themselves, each one taking her
turn at the different duties of the prac-
tice of home keeping. Next month ex-
penses will be reduced to 30 cents per
student per day, since students will
buy according to a definitely planned
budget, instead of according to a frag-
mentary system of individual purchases
as needed, the system used by the ma-
jority of housewives over the land, who,
for one reason or another, have never
been able to reduce their system, of
home management to a budgetary basis.
On entering the building through
the formal entrance on the east one
| finds himself in a large living room
furnished in dull mahogany of the
William and Mary period design, the
chief articles—an upholstered daven-
port, four chairs-, jand a large table.
At the left of the entrance is a large
wood fireplace with dogs, andirons,
etc. Just above the mantel is an ob-
long mirror placed horizontally. Over
the window, to soften the light, hang
pongee curtains with blue velour bor-
dering. The grey wall paper with
white ceiling, is in perfect harmony
with the blue and grey chenille rug.
One passes out of this room through
a small hall Jhto the dining room,
which is furnished in dull mahogany
of the Queen Anne period design, the
main pieces—a dining table, six chairs,
a buffet which is long enough for the
I table linen to be placed in length-
Iwise, thus preventing unnecessary fold-
ing, a side table with a mirror placed
directly over it, the same pongee cur-
tains as are in the living room and
wall paper somewhat of a similar pat-
tern and color scheme. Now all one
has to do is to step across the south
threshold to find himself in a neatly
and conveniently arranged kitchen.
The furnishings are a refrigerator,
which is made in the wall so as to be
handy for both the inside and the out-
side; a California Cooler, a Sellers’
Kitchen Cabinet, an electric stove, a
sink, built-in shelves, a telephone,
y;hite oil cloth on the wall, and.blue-
, checked inlaid linoleum on the floor.
) Naturally. one would expect to find a
j laundry room adjoining, and so he
! does. After viewing the contents for
a few minutes, one sees a coal stove
with hot water tank, a linen closet, a
cleaning closet, and an ironing board,
two white basins, a cottage chair, a
large store room, a laundry box, and
also white walls and a floor painted
light blue. The laundry opens out
to the south porch, which is extensive
enough to afford a kitchen entrance
also,
Passing back into the entrance hall,
which contains a semi-table and a
chair at one side, pongee curtains,
grey-blue walls, and a small chenille
rug, one is confronted with the stair
case that leads up to a small hall up-
stairs. In this are both linen and
cleaning closets built-in. Near the
wall on the right of the stairs is a
table, a chair and a telephone. A
Kleanflax runner rug leads one to the
further end of this hall, where there
is a bath room, with a neatly built-in
bath tub, a lavatory, a laundry box,
a mirror on the wall, and a small
Kleanflax rug on the floor. The toilet

BOBCATS WIN THE FIRST
GAME FROM HUNTSVILLE
Timely Hitting and Spectacular
Fielding Gives Cats 7 to 2
Victory In Well Played Game;
Today’s Game Closes Season.
Hard hitting and fast fielding feat-
ured the first game of the Huntsville
series played on Evans Field yesterday
afternoon in which the Bobcats beat out
the visitors by a 7 to 2 score. Both
Cats, Bear and Bob, got ten hits each
in yesterday’s game, but the Bobcats
timed their blows at more opportune
moments, while Capt. Tate, backed up
by superb fielding, closed down on the
visitors when they threatened to score.
Cy kept their hits well scattered, and
at no time was the game in rea danger.
Things rocked along at an even gait
until the third yesterday, and then the
Bobcats began to swung their big
sticks. Cy and Brownie both walked
and then Pete cracked out a single
scoring both runners. Terry Lowman
then duplicated his feat of last Satur-
day and drove one on a line drive
over the right-field wall. It was a
terrific wallop and came at the right
time. This ended the scoring until
the sixth, when by the aid of a walk,
a long triple, and a passed ball, the
visitors put over their two runs of the
game. The Bobcats counted twice
again in the seventh and again in the
eighth. In the seventh Jeff hit one of
the longest line drives of the season,
the ball going directly over short-stop
and landing- beyond the track in left-
center. The hit went for an easy
three bagger; Jeff scoring on Davis’
sacrifice fly '"to right.
A funny thing happened in yester-
day’s game. Probably what makes it
so funny is that the Huntsville hurler
got by with it. Just what reasoning
he used in the eighth when he walked
Terry to get to Jeff is more than we
can guess. If the situation had been
just the opposite the move would have
been just as risky, for both men are
dangerous with the willow, and to
give either one of them a free pass tc
get to the other is just risking one
more run. If Jeff had not been hitting
yesterday there might have been some
excuse for it, but he had already got
a triple and a double out of four times
up. But anyway Jeff failed to hit
again this time and Mr. Benze can
pride himself on being one of the few
who have played with fire and were not
burned,
The Bobcats looked better in the
field yesterday than they have at any
time on Evans Field this year. Brown
and Hopson made ’em all look good
on the infield. “Hershy” got a bushel
of chances and he made all of them
good, one time going into the air and
pulling down a line drive that looked
like a sure hit. Brassell played a spec-
tacular game in left field. In the sev-
enth he went back against the wall
nad pulled one down, then came in
back of short and took one almost out
of the grass and doubled the runner
off second. Jeff had to turn his back
to the stands in going after that long
one. He was there when it came
down tho, but tripped over a rock and
fell just as he caught the ball. There
were three on and one down in the
same inning when he came in back of
the infield and executed his second
sensational catch of the inning. It
looked like the visitors were going to
score again, even more than ever when
the hit over short looked good for a
Texas' Leaguer, but Jeff grabbed it
“by inches and turned what looked to
be a sure hit into a double play, retjr-'
ing the sides. Dorrell, playing center-
field for the visitors, had a big day
in the field. He pulled down several
hard chances and one time when up
on the bluff for a hit that would have
gone for at least a double. He was
given a big hand by the fans when he
gathered that one in.
The Bobcats and Bear Kats will
meet again this afternoon, on Evans
Field for the second and last game of
the series. This game wifi close the
1922 season for the Bobcats, so today
local fans will be given their last op-
portunity of seeing the team in action.
Ed. Kallina, who came to Normal from
Huntsville, will in all probability do
the hurling for the Bobcats this after-
noon. Ed. is anxious to get at his
former team-mates and should go good.
ELABORATE PLANS
ARE BEING MADE FOR
ATHLETIC CARNIVAL
“T” Association and Girls’ So-
cieties To Make Annual Affair
Event at Riverside Big Affair
Every Spring noises come from
Riverside telling of the annual Ath-
letic Carnival, and this Spring the
noises are exceptionally loud. The
“T” Association, with the aid of the
two girls’ societies, is putting on the
carnival, and elaborate plans are be-
ing made to put the fete over in grand
fashion. No particulars have been
given out to the public, but it is un-
derstood that the carnival this year
is to be exceptionally original in every
respect. New features are to be added
in place of the old ones so as to make
the occasion entertaining to old “fans”
as well as to the new.
The Athletic Carnival is an annual
event put on under the auspices of the
Normal “T” Association, and for the-
benefit of Normal athletics. In past
years it has always been attended by
practically all of Normal and a large
number of townspeople. This was be-
cause the entertainments put 'on down
at Riverside have always been highly
entertaining, and the carnival this
year is to be no exception other than
that it will be an improvement over
those of past years.
The carnival is to be given on the
night of May 27. Full particulars will
follow in the coming issues of the Star.

Fish Colors.
Linda (to Mr. T., who is delivering
copies of ‘The Freeman’ for supple-
mentary reading and practice in ana*
lysis) : “I certainly am glad we are
going to read something else besides
‘The New Republic’.”
Mr. T.: “That so? What’s the mat-
ter with ‘The New Republic’?”
Linda: “Oh, nothing intrinsically
only here it is now known as the
‘Fish Colors’, and carrying a copy of
it around with you, is strong circum-
stantial evidence that you are still a
Fish. People won’t believe that I am
above the ‘Freshmen plane’, if they
see me carrying a copy of ‘The New
Republic’ around with me. They say
that if I am not a Fish, I ought to
quit wearing the ‘Fish Colors.’ It’s
just another instance of the compelling
quality of that ‘objectivity’ you are al-
ways talking to us about.”
----o--
The Gypsy Rover.
“The Gypsy Rover”, a romantic mu-
sical comedy, to be presented publicly
by the Liberty Chorus, is expected to
be a noticeable success, for an at-
tractive list of patronesses has been
secured. The Kindergarten and Physi-
cal Education Departments are going
tc assist'"with several dances. A very
attractive solo dance is also to be
given. This sounds very promising and
the cast, too, are hard at work, as the
musical comedy is to be given very-
soon. It is to be given for the benefit
of the Jack Arnold Memorial Fund.
