 The annual Omega Lambda Chi cele- bration was held last evening with the usual frolic, which marks the occasion. It had been expected that the evening would wind up in scrap between the sophomores and freshmen and possibly class rush, The faculty experimenting that some such occurrence might take place had notified the two classes that if rush did take place the sophomore fence would be torn down. The cele- bration, however, passed off without any unusual conflict for an affair of that sort. Ot 6;45 the classes formed in front of Durfee and soon started on a galloplng dance around the campus. the seniors at the head of the line and fol- lowed by juniors, sophomores and freshmen. Fully 1000 voices were sing ing the song "Chiro, Chiro, Omega Lambda Chi, We Meet Tonight to Gel ebrate the Omega Lambda Chi" Round and round the campus danced the throng With crowds of town people looking on from a safe distance. Final ly after several turns around the cam- pus the seniors led the line through the narrow passage way only about eight feet broad between South Middle and Lyceum. On each side of the pas- sage the three upper classes lined up, leaving through the center a path just wide enough for one man to run through at time. Through this gaunt- let the freshmen were obliged to go, | receiving kicks and cuffs, which were by no means love taps from the hun dreds lined up on each side. Lucky was the freshman who got through without losing his hat coat or some other article of wearing apparel. Many a freshman will be sore for a week from the drubbing he received PRIZE PUMPING CONTEST. The bunting contest of the Yale Foot ball association was held at the field yesterday afternoon. w. T.
