Some evidently did not think that tho
rulo would go into effect so suddenly,
and others believed that because they
had boxes they could ftot their mail
anyhow. These . few did not under
stand that tho exception In regard to

so violent as to say that his vote for
tho closing wns obtained under false
pretenses. '

Expected to Be Greatest Races In
History of Pennsylvania Relays.
Pennsylvania's relay .races promise
to be oven more important and more
interesting than over before. Practi
cally all of the big' colleges, such as
Harvard, Michigan. Chicago, Prihco
ton, Columbia, etc., havo already sent
word that they will havo teams in the
meet. This guarantees a repetition
of tho magnificent racing that has
mado the relays so successful, in tho
past.
The collego rolay championship will,
as UBital, bring together the fastest
teams of tho year. Tho success of
Harvard and Cornell this winter, to
gether with tho faBt running of tho
western teamsjln recent winter sports,
guarantee that Pennsylvania will
havo to do almost the impossible to
retain the three championships she
won last year. Cornell, Harvard, Chi
cago, Michigan Illinois and Princeton
are all out for ono or other champion
ships, In fact, Yale seems about the
only one of the big colleges that has
not nt least one team up to champion
ship calibre., f At present nearly 200

A rumor was about the campus yes
terday that a new organisation has
made its way Into tho university. It
Is composed of both men and women
and Is called a "fratority." Nothing
could bo Jearned of its membership,
which has so far remained secret. In
formation was received from a reli

in existenco for some time, plans hav

fraternities and sororities or not. Such

ka Is purely local In Its naturo and
there hns been no attempt to affiliate
