Iowa City, Nov. ~ The enthusiasm
aroused by the 'varslty's defeat OF the
Michigan foot ball team shows some
sign Of abatement and the students
are settling down to hard work. There
was q hot time. however. all day Mon
day. eliminating in . great jolliflca-
ton ii the evening. a disgraceful at
fair. however, marred the excellent
reputation the students had made for
Themselves for sobrietY and freedom
from rowdyism.
Monday morning notices were posted
saying that the team would arrive that
morning. Immed iately every one for-
got about. classes and hastened down to
the depot. where q great crowd was
gathered. Thousands were there andsas
great taHy-ho. decorated with corn
stalks and old gold bunting, and drawn
by some 200 students. carrying corn
stalks and wearing ears OF corn for
badges. When the team arrived they
were carried onto the tally-ho and amid
great cheering were escorted up 10 the
campus. The parade was led by the
Iowa City band and followed by a car
.riage containing President MacLean,
Dr. and Mrs. Knipe. 'Reddy" Griffith
and Clyde Williams. Then came long
line OF students, followed by the uni
3versity band and then by the tally-ho
with Its heroes. The streets were gaily
decorated with bunting and corn. "A
farmer driving by with q load Of corn
came near losing his profits.
After short speeches by the president,
DR.. and Mrs. knipe and members Of the
team, the players were given their
breakfast.
At s:45, after supper, great parade
formed and under q steady fire OF Ro-
man candles. skyrockets. firecrackers
and tin horns students, citizens. every
body, marched. The parade was a half
mile in length. After parading around
the streets they went down to the Ath-
letic Park, where great bonfire had
been prepared, and there was scene
that would stir the enthusiasm Of an
iceberg! The big field was as light as
day, and each department Of the uni
3versity danced wildly around and sing
Ing till Buffalo Bills wild west show
would have been tame In contrast. The
bleachers were filled with citizens and
their families enjoying the spectacle al
most AZ much as the students.
After the bonfire about a hundred stu-'
dents and others from the town con-
,cluded to wind up the evening with go-
Ing to the opera house. Railroad Jack"
was the play billed-the students re-.
membered him. for he had been walk
ing about the streets and campus all
afternoon in his stage apparel. Not all;
of the men who wanted to see him on
the stage, however. had so cents. and
not all OF those who possessed this sum
wanted to spend IT. So they took to go
ing in without the Formally Of stopping
at the ticket window. Manager Coldren
objected. The students said it would be
all right; they would take up a colleo-
ton when they got In. Manager Coldren
rush line. The opera house employees
lined up. too, and the police came in
later as very acceptable subs flutes for
the house. In the fight that ensued
Manager Coldren was knocked down
and three Of his front teeth knocked out.
The students were finally repulsed.
driven down the stairs and the door
closed on them. They then stood out
side and hooted and yelled.
4 Every now and then stone crashed
thru the windows OF the opera house
and loud yell came up from the crowd.
Eggs were tried at times as munitions
of war instead of rocks. Then the
crowd took a big piece OF lumber and
tried to batter down the door The po-
lice stopped this before the hinges gave
way. The banners OF the colleges OF
pharmacy, law and medicine. which had
been carried in the parade. were con-
Sspicuous in the crowd. a
President MacLean heard OF the dis
turbance and came to the scene. The
crowd dispersed at his command.
Considerable feeling is felt In the city
because OF the rough treatment to which
Manager Coldren was subjected. He
has always been foremost in encourag-
ing student enterprises. always let the
opera house to students at q lower rate
than to any one else, and had just con-
tributed IS to the students blowout
that day. The students who took part
In the disturbance could not have been
drunk, because no student Is allowed to
enter a saloon under pain Of expulsion
from the university. 1t was doubtless
only case Of the celebrated going too
far, During the blowout Monday
morning farmer received an ear Of.
corn in his face. thrown SO hard that his
face Was painfully injured.
The team was being entertained by
the Delta Gamma Soroeity last evening
and DIR. Knipe promised them that they
might taste some ice cream and cake
again for change.
