C0LBY'S CARE RUSH.
The Usual Scrmmages and One Of l9OO's
Men Injured.

The cane rush came off at Colby,
Tuesday afternoon. and there was
more fun 10 the square minute for a
few minutes than we have seen no
that way since the Cobys did up the
BoWdoins at foot bail. The freshmen
We're all at Rotations when the work
came to them that the sophomores had
"staked' the freShics' rooms. There
was but little to be said in the way of
recitation and all left the room and
the professor without much as saying
please excuse us
There was a grand rush and a gen
eral pile up at the southern entrance
to the north of the college. Freshmen
and Sophomores went into piles, down
off the high steps they pulled each
other; they struggled and clawed as
though their life depended on the fero-
city of their acts. Hot got hot and a
few of the men began to get on their
sparring paint when the seniors. who
had been standing about, Interested
spectators. took a hand ana prevented
any bad results.
No slugging" was the word that the
seniors passed along and the under
class men knew it meant that II any
fighting occurred the seniors would be
in the midst of it. The assault upon
the door cooled down after most of the
sophomores had deserted their more
nervy classmen and then the cane rush
became a feature.
AS the freshmen We're marching past
the crowd singing and sending up
their class cry. Hooke. 1900. rushed out
alone and into the midst Of the march
ing men. In an instant he was swal-
lowed up by the freshmen and in an
other moment he was writing on the
ground In agony, the seniors being
obliged to go to his relief. 1t was
found that he was suffering from in
ternal troubles and after few min
utes he was removed to his room in
an unconscious state.
Hooke showed very poor judgment
and perhaps the next time he will he
content to let some Of his classmen aid
in the cane rush. 1t is not believed
that he is much injured.
