A mrmthful of broken teeth.
various black 1 eyes, sprained an
kles, a wrenched knee, a slashed
hand, and a couple of accidental
visits to" the police station were
the sum total of the risible re
sults of the" Willamette freshmen-
sophomore annual class scrap that
took . place Tuesday night j and
Wednesday morning. The "frosh-
les" iron an overwhelming victory,
due to' superior numbers and or
ganization.' (This ' is the' soph's
explanation of their defeat). j
Preliminary ; hostilities I were
opened Tuesday afternoon when a
group of 'freshmen overpowered
an unwary. soph" and drove" hln
half (a doze, miles out,Jnto ths
country in his own car., Dumping
him. thev took the car hack o use

-1 Scraps . Around Town:
Scrapping about town was t'ie
rule during the early part of the
night! hut real business started
about midnight on the campus
There was but little noise from
tha frosh but & marvelous oi.-
ranizatlon and-the "downfall ' of
tha nnhi was sneedr. A tyeiat
squad trussed up the , enemy, as
soon ! as they were overpowered
md then they were loaded11 into
tars, part of which were "bor
rowed" from the sophs, taxis and
trucks and driven out into the
country from two to lOmilss
from! town. There the unlucky
second year men were unceremoni
ously, dumped out of .the-." cars
without the trouble being j taken
to untie them, and the triumphal
freshmen went back after another
load. v!; ", .
Ah! The Police
Some of the cars ran out of gas
or got stuck -in the mud and tm
prisoners of war were untied to
let -them help in pushing. 1 One
poor sophomore had been dumped
and was walking back to. to wn
with) his bonds i still upon h'ra
when a ear of freshmen-met h!..i
and rode him back into the wild j
for. another couple of -miles.
One unlucky soph was walking
back from an early morning sup
per down town after ar hard
. night's work with the freshmen,
when : he saw a car approach! ig
that he" thought was full of fresh
men. He did the only thing that
was1 to be done, crawled through
some vines and under the porch
of a friendly nearby house. But
the men In ; the car had spotted
him and soon a husky voice bade
him come out. ? The college man
did ; so to find that the two men
were police officers who had pick
ed i him for ; a second-story man.
He was marched down to the .ser
geant and told his story and then
was accompanied out to one of the
fraternity houses to have It corro
borated. I He figured out ; at the
-lastj that there were really worse
things to be encountered than a
car lull of freshmen. ' vi
;j Amazons at War !
At Lausanne hall and ! In the
sorority houses the merry j "stack
ing? of rooms went on- apace in
connection with the more robust
activities of the men oh the cam
pus. It is reported to have be in
the! most thorough stacking of
rooms that has taken place In
several years, as every freshman's
room was completely turned up
side down and wearing apparel,
pictures, ' books, ' etc., scattered
around the tooms of the hall. The
shoes were:' bunched together la
odd pairs' and dumped info1 the
basement. ' Altogether the - fresh
men girls will be several days
' straightening out their rooms and
respective equipment. p .
At '5 yesterday morning the de
feated - sophomores were still
straggling in from their long
jaunt back from the country.

of their - assistance, and promis

In a lengthy Interview with a

Sweetin in answering questions
put to her, related how her re
lations, with the minister started
and how they gradually grew
more Intimate until , she realized
that she had fallen in love Witt
the clergyman, who lived only two
blocks from "her home. '."'" ' j
"One night in April." she said,
"he won my confidence.; I
thought he was a great' religious
man.. After he had won my con
fidence I yielded to his suggest
ions in every way."; ' 1
When "asked' whether she was
sorry that she had , poisoned her
husband, : as she confessed.'; she
answered: - - -i
"Yes, I am sarry, very sorry; I
certainly am sorry." " ; j
No emotion was visible In the
womans features or. attitude at
the mentioning of the minister's
name,:, either directly or indirect

minister as "he" or "him."
Her answer to the question,
whether she had poisoned her
