U P PE R C L A SSM E N E N T E R T A IN T h e best athletical en tertain m en t we have ever w it nessed was staged in our gym nasium on th e afternoon of T h an k sg iv in g Day. T h e e n tire stu d e n t body and the greater p art of the faculty, as well as the num erous visitors th a t were here were in atten d an ce, and ev e ry body got as big a kick and th rill out of the doings as anyone could out of the wildest bull fight ever staged in S pain. It was ju st as we expected. A fight-to-the-finish spirit held the upper han d th ro u g h o u t th e afternoon and th e re was not a dull m om ent d u rin g the en tire program . T h ere was so m uch ch eerin g and yelling from th e sidelines and balcony on account of the ex citem en t th at we d o n ’t believe any of us heard the class songs or yells. But they were there in th eir respective corners yelling and singing th e ir heroes on to victory. T h e ju n io rs and freshm en won by a large m argin w hen it cam e dow n to the cheering and decorating p art of it and had th e seniors and sophom ores looking like be g in n ers. But the rest of it was nip and tu c k to the finish and the judges had considerable difficulty in d e ciding on the w inners, although th e ju n io rs and freshm en won the tug-o-w ar event hands dow n. T h en C harles B uchert, the catty little ju n io r, slipped one over on Bill M inthorn in th e first bout of the a fte rn o o n . H erschel Crim and Silas H aw k followed im m ediately and w restled for ten m inutes to a draw . I t was a real d raw too. Both men p u t u p a fine exhibition of aggressiveness. So far th a t m ade tw o w ins and one tie for th e ju n io rs and freshm en and only one tie for th e senior and sophom ores. T h en out tro ts D indro G eorge, th e dark horse of th e afternoon. H e was too m uch for his opponet, T hom as C laplanhoe, in th e tw o tw o-m inute ro u n d s and won h an d ily . A lex Beauvais and Roger A lexander did th e lig h t-w eig h t w restling m atch up brow n. Both p u t up a fine ex h ib itio n of speed and en d u ran ce as well as a good am o u n t of science. A lex an der featured in sn a tch in g and grab b in g holds w hile Beauvais, slippery and as w irey as an eel, s q u irm ed o u t of them . A n o th er d raw . T h en followed a th riller: O "sen G eorge and C harles G eorge, in a blind-folded b o xing m atch b ro u g h t dow n th e house. T here was no sta n d in g around w aiting to be h it, but both were out h u n tin g th e enem y and very often he was found, and a couple of tim es rig h t in the snoot. Both were good at gropiug and feeling around in the darkness, but we believe if C harley G eorge did not win the prize he took th e cake. In a fine exhibition of basketball and a fight from sta rt to finish the Seniors and sophom ores barely nosed out over th e ju n io rs and freshm en by th e score of 23 to 19. Both team s p u t up a fine ex h ib itio n of basket shooting, but we believe th e seniors and sophom ores had a little m ore of the cream in th e team w ork. T h u s th e program ended, m aking tw o w ins for the seniors and sophom ores and two w ins for th e ju n io rs and fre sh m en, and three draw s. A most able talk by S u p t. H all closed ou r chapel exercises last Sunday evening. H is subject was based on the value of tim e —its proper use, etc. I t was a splendid talk given w ith a conviction th a t im pressed all present. D uring the evening the orch estra played “ A M exican I d y l” by M aurice, a sex tet of girls sang an Irish num ber by S anders, F ra n k Jam es played “ Scenes that are B rig h te st” by W allace as a baritone solo, Cecelia S m ith recited “ T h e C harge of the L ig h t B rig a d e.” and the choir sang “ Closer to Thee. L o rd ” — an anthem bv Morris.
