ton as to why he lent his aid to nom
frat. man when frat man was in the field.
He gave no explanation further than that
he was justified in taking the stand he did.
Seeing that they could get nothing out of
him they left the scene and tramped
through the streets for several hours,
making the night hideous with their wells.
The men in the field for the Junior presi-
dency were Dean, a Zeta Psi man, and Craig,
a non-fraternal man. 1t seems that when
Case was elected to the editorship of the
college annual the fraternities supported
him to a very great extent, but it hap
pened that Craig, the man who was elected
to-day to the 1877 presidency, was also in
the race for the editorship, but, of course,
was defeated. Case promised to lend his
aid in behalf of a Phi Gamma Delta man
if he ran for the office of junior.
At the eleventh hour the Zeta Psi put
up Dean and asked Cases influence, but he
had already taken hand in the political
game and pledged himself to Craig. Deans
defeat was taken up by some of the other
fraternity members, who purposed making
it warm for the "B and G." editor, but
changed their course before going too far
Whether or not Case had much to do with
the result of the election is aquestlon, but
those who appeared ct his fraternity house
were evidently more than slightly enraged.
News From the Gridiron.
The football men at the university are
not turning out for practice in as large
numbers and as regularly as the captain
and manager consider they ought. Forty
five suits have been distributed among the
players, and only about half that number
of men appear for daily training. This
means that at least twenty suits lie idle at
every practice, which is considered unfair
to those who wish to work on the field but
who are not able to do so on account of
having no suits. Hereafter strict &C
count will be Kept of all men who have
suits and who do not appear for regular
practice, and their suits will..be taken from
them and given to those who will come
out regularly.
In the freshman, class alone there are
thirty-fve who have been recommended
by Mr.. Magee, the physical director, as
possessing the proper qualifications for
making good football men. Together with
the members of the other classes, Berkeley
may be said to have at least 100 men who
are capable of doing creditable work on the
gridiron. 1t is the idea of Captain Sher-
man to have at least three men for each
position, so that if any are injured or break
training rules others will be on hand to
take their places. Twenty-three men were
on the field this afternoon.
fence is being built around the field,
and bleachers are being erected on the west
