the .prevailing customs in other more
up-to-date schools. Let the Sopho
mores and Freshmen set aside a cer
tain day in the year and on this date,
let the matter of supremacy be decided
once for all. Sophomore and Freshmen
could come prepared to got -Into tho
harmless mix up and dress according
ly, so that so much destruction of
clothes would not result. Let them
have a trophy of some kind and get
together onco each year and scrap
for possession t the trophy. The con
test could take place at a given time
and tho participants could battle for
the maBtery for a certain length of
time, say half an hour or so, and at
the end of that time the contest could
bo decided by a jury chosen before
hand from among tho faculty. Such a
custom would do away with the pres
ent hobo methods and would, I am
sure bo a greater factor In working
up class spirit and enthusiasm. Being
clad In old clothes it would matter not
if they were torn or disfigured.
Such customs prevail at a great num
ber of eastern schools, notably among
which are Pennsylvania - with its
"Battle of the Bowl" Depauw, with
Its "Free Rush," Yale, with its
"Fence Rush, Princeton, with its
"Cannon Fight ' and Columbia with it3
"Cane Spree." At these Institutions
this class scrap is a recognized yearly
ovont by both students and faculty.

MEN'S SUITS, GOOD FABRICS AT

Mr. Editor: The recent diabolical

not so much the Sophomores who are

seems to have taken root In this In

"acid stunt" and the. Sophomores last

Play a Success.
A small audience witnessed the suc

Dramatic Club in Memorial Hall Sat

play lay In part In its uniqueness, it
being quite different from moat ama

"Fennel" was a pathetic drama of
the eighteenth century, having an at
mosphere of medieval romance. The
scene was laid In Italy. The plot wan

Indulge in thdso Ignoble acts.
Tho writer is a strong supportor-of
"class spirit" and University enthu
siasm, but not such spirit as was
shown on that occasion. Although the
majority may not agree with mo, I
am inclined not to frown upon Buch
acts as spiriting away of tho officials
of tho party In question or on general
"mix upa'1 or "rough houses" between
tho two classes, but when it Is car
ried to tho extent of ruining what
otherwise might bo an enjoyable even

going too far, and should be branded
as tho action of "hoodlums" and
"toughs." r

1. Roy Sunderland, tho villain of the
play, filled tho role of Fillipo, an ap
ipTontlce to Ferrari, with grace add
ease. Harold Stelnor played tho dim
cult part of Sandro, tho hunchback,
with tho Bkill of a professional actor.
Miss Minnie Hlllor, the only represen
tative of her sex in tho caste, admir
ably filled the rolo of Giannlna, an
oriental belle, acting tho dollcato lovo
scenes with charm and grace.
Before tlijO play Miss Helen Dolson
rendered a musical number on the
piano and the Y. M. C. A. Quartette,
composed of Messrs. Hutton, Edgerton,
Wallace and Higgens, entertained the
audience with several songs. Miss
Julia Knutzen accompanied' several

large part to tho management of
Misses Grace Sargent and Flossy Er-ford.
First Contest Will Be Held in the
Gymnasium on May 18. Girls
Are Practicing Hard.
Tho Girls' Athletic Contest will take
place Saturday morning, May 13th, at
10 o'clock. There will be no admis
sion charged, and only girls will be
admitted. As this is the first rqal
athletic contest that the girls have
ever held, they feel a little hesitancy
about throwing it open to the public,
consequently they have limited the
spectators this year to the girls in
the University. They are very enthu
siastic over the contest, and are work
nig hard to make good records.
Dr. Clapp has been coaching the
girls a little In the different events,
which will consist of the 25 yd. dash,
high jump, hurdles, shot-put, and bar
vault for height.
In tho running high Jump tho Uni
versity holds the women's college rec
ord which Is t ft.-3 In., made by Miss
Cora Scott in 1902. There is some
very good material for all the events
and an exciting contest Is looked for
ward to
There will be medals awarded for
1st and 2nd places in each event.
Track Men Meet.
Dr. Clapp's "office was tho scone of
another interesting track-men's meet
ing Tuesday morning aL chapel time,
when la3t Saturday's meet was dis
cussed. Tho new men got many good
pointers -from the Dr., who explained
that his .criticism was not personal,
but for the benefit of the team as a
Whole. Ho urged the men to get out
as many as possible for the class meet
next Saturday, May 13th, since good
men are often brought out to uphold
the honor of their clasB that coild not
be reached otherwise, and then In or
der to turn out a winning team the in
terest and enthusiasm of all the class
es is needed. The men wore reminded
that Colorado beat Kansas and that
wo can win the meet with Colorado
on May 20 only by co-operation, care
ful training and hard work.
