Tuesday at five o'clock
Ashamed as Ken was to be put out , he was yet more ashamed to feel that he was glad of it . Hardest of all to bear was the arrogant air put on by the Travers College players . Wayne had indeed been relegated to the fifth rank of college baseball teams . On Monday announcements were made in all the lecture-rooms and departments of the university , and bulletins were posted to the effect , that President Halstead wished to address the undergraduates in the Wayne auditorium on Tuesday at five o'clock . Rumor flew about the campus and Carlton Club , everywhere , that the president 's subject would be `` College Spirit , '' and it was believed he would have something to say about the present condition of athletics . Ken Ward hurried to the hall as soon as he got through his practice . He found the immense auditorium packed from pit to dome , and he squeezed into a seat on the steps .
