DETROIT,. AND CLEVELAND MEN REVIVE HANOVER RITES
August 1921 C. CARLETON HITCHCOCK

On Friday night, June 10th, twenty men of the Detroit Dartmouth Club boarded the boat .for Cleveland to attend the annual picnic; of the Cleveland Alumni Association. As was expected little sleep was obtained on the boat and quite a bit of silver changed hands. The Ceveland crowd met us at the dock and took us to the Hotel Cleveland, where the crowd was to assemble. We then loaded into machines and were taken through a beautiful section of the city to the Cleveland Yacht Club at Rocky River. The rest of the morning was devoted to sailing, swimming, baseball, and indoor sports. At one o'clock some seventy-five of us sat .down to luncheon. After the eats we drove some miles out to a country baseball diamond, where Cleveland proceeded to obtain a sweet revenge for the beating Detroit gave them the summer before. Red Keeler is some pitcher. The score was in the neighborhood of 8-3. Batteries were: Cleveland—Keeler, Leach; Detroit—Hitchcock, Schildmiller, and Hiestand. After the ball game we toured to a road house where we adjourned to a Vale and performed some Hanoverian rites and then had a delicious open-air dinner. Then back to the city to catch the boat for home. It was a wonderful day and the Qeveland Club are hosts par excellence. Next summer we hope to entertain both the Cleveland and Buffalo Clubs here in Detroit on a joint picnic and Field Day at the Aviation Country Club.

On Saturday, July 16th, the Detroit Club had a get together and party at the Aviation Country Club. Field sports, aquatic stunts, and other pleasures of college days were enjoyed by twenty-five odd men.
