PUTS UP THE COIN
-
The Sophs Must Play the Laws
Now.
Their was quite a surprise sprung on
the inter-clays athletic l.oaicl jester
day afternoon when the Fnvhman
I aws phuetl in the hands of the ti eas
ts W a check for $21, which, with the.
( ?'! ioieicd at the Senior Law-Kiesh-
mai I aw game, and already turned
over to the board, makes up the $21
necessary to be produced by the
Freshmen before they could demand
i game tor the ehamj lonshlp or tho

champion team in the other college or
else forfeit the championship. During
the season just past the gate re
ceipts at the-games between the lour
Academic classes amounted" to $24,
while through some oversight the 1 aws
neglected to collect fares at the ilrst
game Uiid there was only a nominal
amount taken In at the second. The
Sophomores objected to playing the
Laws because they said they had al
ready won the money taken in at tho
Academic games and ought not to bo
asked to play another gamo whon they
t'ould lose all and win nothing. Al
though the constitution then fn force
made, no such rule, the board in a very
fierce meeting, adopted the Soph's,
point of view and ordered the Laws to
put up $21 more before i; o'clock last
night or forfeit all claim to the game.

laws in this protest, claim that they
won the Law championship and chal

championship under the old constitu
tion .and that the loa.d has no right
to make a c onstitution ret road ivejn its
effect: that the entire gate receipts be
long to the board, and not to the win

the Sophomores have no more Interest

consequently Is void as against the

The I. aws claim that they have in

The Sophomores were evidontly quite

In both constitutions, but in the first
one. under which the Laws claim the
right to play, wns construed to mean
that, any man on the squad at the time
of the last 'Vaislty game before the
class game would be Ineligible, but
under the new constitution this has
been const) ued to take in all men who
had the i'igiuil! at any time during the
season. Schmidt wns foiced to quit
the game after the Urand Island
game, and so woufd be eligible under
the first ruling.
The Laws announce! their extermin
ation to play even If every protest Is
decided against them. They are quite
indignant at the treatme.it they say
they have received at the hands of the
board and characterize the changing of
constitutions as a plain steal for no
other purpose than to enable the
Sophs, to avoid- playing them a game.
Under such circumstances a game, if
played at all, will certainly be bitterly
contested.
