FIRST CONTEST WITH COLGATE

Weather permitting, Colgate will face the University baseball team in the first game of the season on Soldiers Field this afternoon at 4 o'clock.

The unsettled conditions of the past week have greatly retarded the work of the University nine. Only a light fielding and batting practice has been held in the last two days. Nevertheless, the rapid progress of the squad since it has been outdoors has been so marked that a strong and well-balanced line-up is assured for today.

The Colgate is already well ad- vanced in form is evidenced by the fact that Princeton barely defeated the team on Tuesday by a score of 5 to 4. In the first practice game of the year, Colgate defeated Seton Hall, 11 to 0, showing a good pitching staff and marked batting ability.
