the W. U. P. Programme in the
INTER-CLASS FIELD DAY SPORTS.
Names of the Boys Who Will Enter the
Intercollegiate Events.
GROUNDS VERY BAD AND TIME SLOW

The Western University of Pennsylva-
mia inter-class field day, held on the
Recreation Park grounds yesterday, needed
something to add little life to
it,and evidently the sophomores were there
| to furnish it. The bows of that class took
possession of one of the boxes and hung out
three flags They raised such row about
the flags that the freshmen concluded to
stop it. Several cf the latter were stationed
below and some went above and knocked
down the offending flags. They were soon
seized by the conspirators and before the
sophomores recovered from their surprise.
all but one of the flags were torn into
shreds.
A general fight commenced in the box
and in the grand stand below, but the
sophomores only succeeded in rescuing
small portion of one flag, while the fresh
men wore pieces of the others as badges.
The remaining flag was soon again floating
defantly in the breeze, but it did not stay
long as one of the freshmen surprised the
sophs and tore tho banner to pieces. The
result of the melee was somewhat in favor
of the freshmen, though the bumps ana
bruises were about equally distributed
After this event the field settled down to
T.
