The argument on which the de fendant won the case was that no advance in rental price was contim plated.' The hotel stands ready an willing to perform Its part of the agreement. The ca'so was nearly won for rlv plaintiff due to tho fact that the fol lowing evidence was introduced. "The hotel schedule given to tin "X" fraternity had these words upoi. it 'Prices subject to change.' ' Judge Durisch held that these words were immaterial after considerable discussion.
