Arid then the charm "was broken, for at 8:5G precisely Uib door opened and revealed three bravo 'Froshm'en lasslOB who hail dared to take their courage in their teeth and comc alone. Then tho reaction came, and the Freshmen broke in all directions for telephones, to make the dates they had neglected to secure in tho week that had iled. PluckYly they fought dis couragement after d-6couragoment ovor tho wlrevand when one man se cured a partner tfie "following conver sation was sure to onsue: "Yes, I'll bo right down.

Yes, I'll be right down. Good bye." In this fashion quite a number of Freshman ,glrls were corralled and at the eleventh hour (literally as well as figuratively) tho scheduled dance was pulled off. Tho men of tho first year class report that they had a good time, but thoro Is a rumor going tho rounds that their cheeks aro flushed to this day. A P088I1LE GAME. Chicago and Yale May Meet in Foot ball Next FaJI. Advices from Chicago lndlcato that thoro is a considerable possibility of a football game between the teams rep resenting Chicago and Yale Universi ties next fall. For several years tho Yalo undergraduates have favored a game with Chlcagb but the annual con-, test with harvard and tho reBtrictod number of games allowed to bothYale and. Qhicago has prevented tho clash.. Now Harvard Is seriously consider ing the abolition "of football and this will give the Eli's a chanco to make a substitution .on their schedule to the advantage of Chicago. As yet tho .Ma roons have only ono gamb definitely scheduled for next fall and would have no difficulty whatever In nrrariglng ib ilay Yale if tho Ell's 'are willing. If the gairio is schedulod It will undoubt edly be phiyod In the oast arid would furnish a good Imsja of comparison as to tho relative merits of oastorn and western football.
