Even Amateurs Do It

According to the rollowing article taken from Monday's Washtenaw Evening Times' Ypsilanti correspondeuce, the Normal athletes received very nufair treatment at the intercollegiale sports last week : "Ifc was a pure case of freeze out for Albion and the Normals at the intercol legiate sports last week. Hillsdale and Kalamazoo put up a nea1; combination which worked as srnoothly as a three-shell game. Kalamazoo had been beaten by Hillsdale for tho Brackett cup and what tbey most desired then was the relay race 'championship. Albion was most feared in this race and she had to be put out of the way in some manner. The Normals were most feared by Hillsdale in the baseball championship and the pedagogues were consideied as the proper receptacles of a soup tete-a-tete with Albion. Curtís, of the Normals, was protested on the grounds that he had not been ideutified with the school long enough and although Prof. Barbour was present and showed the board of directors that he had been a student a sufficient length of time to entitle hirn to play, the protest was allowed and he was disqualified, which disqualified the wbole team as they could not continue without tbeir catcher. This made the way clear sailing for the Hillsdales, who eventually won the cup. lu return for Kalaniaozo's help in this scheme, Hilledale proceeded to do her share of dirty work on the board of directors. Albion was entered in the relay race strongly, but in the contest the first Albion man was continually fouled by Kalamazoo's runner crowding him to the pole and continually poking him back with bis elbow and nst. Kalamazoo carae iu first and Albion protested bnt it counted for nanght. Kalamazoo was voted the relay raoe by the directors and Hillsdale the Brackett cnp for one year. The Normáis carne very near drawing ont of the league, but finally decided to continue their ïnembership. "
