Show FRESHMEfj WINNERS OF DSP1Y- VICTORY; - SOPHS HAVE FLAG "Was all our exertion for nothing?" Is the question at the university. Th freshman class has been most ''handsomely' ''hand-somely' deceived by tha sophomores. The flag used In tha annual flag rush of laat Thursday naturally went to the freshmen upon their winning. It was guardedly taken from the scene of battle by half a dmrn. who carefully hid It In a locker. All the caution persons with such a meager knowledge of college craft could have waa used In seeing that no wily "aopli" spied them as they accreted the spoils of the battle. i:p until yesterday th freshmen patted themselves upon the back In congratulation con-gratulation on the clever manner In which they had "foxed" th sophomores. Then the catastrophe was discovered. Acting Chairman Murray McOarty of th underclassmen learned, ' upon Inspection, Inspec-tion, that the locker had been mashed open and the flag taken. Th freshmen had been doing the wise act sll week. Not a on had even approached the neighborhood of the locker in which was hoarded the plunder. - No. Indeed, tliey would not give away the hiding piac. But the blush that each on carries now puts th country maiden to shame. By secret messengers the sophomores have mad known their desires to the "freahlca." To gain back the atolen treasure 4he under clsssmen will have to do battle once again, the terms of mhleh ara to be drawn up by th sophomores to suit, themselves. The freshmen can't see that at all. hut still they feel that to standi Idle and let the on grand prise of tne year slip through their fingers would b demo rails rai-ls Ins to the class. The wise ones with full grown, corns and knitted brows ar putting their heads together In a mad deal re to hit upon some unique plan to capture th thieves, punish them severely and at the same time elope with th atolen booty. A Sherlock Holmes mad an Important discovery. C. Wooley did the awlplng. but how to get even with him and at the earn time recover the flag Is too much for th freshmen right off th reel. A method will be hH on, however, before manv more days go by, and then surely something will happen to break the mo-! mo-! nulony. |
