away by sentimental and enthusiastic
seekers OF college relics. The fact that
several OF the borrowed tools have been
taken away unauthoritatively is not gen.
era!iy known and in consequence the re-
naming implements have not been placed
under lock and key, but merely piled
away IN the open basement OF North Hail.
Co-Eds Considering.
BERKELEY, CAL, March 4.-The CO.
eds at the State University are considering
the challenge from the Stanford co-eC
basketball nine for game to be played
within month, and as matters now stand
1t seems probable that they will accept the
proposition, providing the game is played
indoors and not before mixed audience
One of the stipulations of the challenge
from Stanford is that the game is TO De
played on the campus at Palo Alto. rms
clause the Berkeley girls seem unwilling
to accept, since it would mean that
mixed audience would be present, and
thev say they will not play before the men.
The Berkeley co-eds are willing and
eager 10 play the wearers of the cardinal,
but they seem set in their determination
not to be part to public exhibition
where both sexes will be equally privileged
as spectators. 1t is thought very PROB
able that the Stanford girls will acQulesce
in the matter of where the game is TO be
played and give the Berkeley nine the
privilege of naming both the time and
place, since they are the challenging
parties. Captain GrisHold says that a
meeting will be held tomorrow at the
hour for gym" when the matter, Ill SO
far as Berkeley is concerned, will be
settled.
