The coasting parties of childhood
days gave way to the skating parties
always featured In high school life;
and the skating parties soon lost their
popularity through the advent of the
auto party. Each sorority or frater
nity house is recognized at meal time
by the string of automobiles which
line the street before the house.
Many a successful party has been
thrown that could not have been sucli
were it not for the automobile.
Now the Kappa's likewise have their
ears, and have had their auto parties
with the rest; but no more. They
have started a new vogue In the party
line. The auto party, like the coast
ing and skating party, has lost its
popularity and a substitute takes its

From what can be learned South

rggregatlon to the Cornhusker camp
from Vermilion. The Coyote twlrler
is scheduled for a big league tryout as
soon as college baseball Is over.
Schissler's proteges clashed with
the Freshmen in a seven-inning prac

drubbed the yearlings 9 to 1.
Reynolds was on the Varsity mound
for four innings, while Ely, a new
performer from Guide Rock, pitched
consistent ball in the three nnai
innings. In three tryout performances
Ely has "goose-egged" the first-year
nen all the way. He may face the
Coyotes in the Friday battle. Captain
Pickett will, in all probability, pitch
today.
The Covotes will arrive this noon
from Sioux City according to a letter
received by Coach Schissler from the
Covotes' coach. The South Dakota
team has won every college game to
date and has a cinch on the inter
