of Girls to Dixmny of Juniors.

BELOIT Wis, Nov. 1.-THE annual ban
quet of the Beloit College freshmen was
held this evening, but one busload of young
women did not arrive until late, and num-
Der of young freshmen, deprived of their
partners, suffered many heartaches and
misgivings The banquet was given at
hotel, and the freshmen succeeded in dodg-
ing the hostile sophomores and getting
there on time Many of the more timid
to avoid abduction. Meanwhile the thirty
five young women who were to grace the
occasion with their presence had congre-
gated al a nearby residence, where they
prepared for the function, sturdy police
men patrolling the vicinity TO see that none
OF them was kidnapped by the sophomores,
who were out in full force.
When the time came to begin the pan
quet il was discovered that one busload OF
young women had been stolen. They had
fallen into the clutches OF the sophomoreS.
Through the interference OF juniors who
had pledged themselves to stand by the
freshmen and act as escorts 10 the girls,
the busload of freshmen girls were inter
copied in the outskirts of the city and the
fair prisoners were escorted to the hotel
under police protection. They were re-
ceived with a great demonstration on arriv-
ing at the hotel. During the evening some
freshmen girls were persuaded TO ride in
a hack, under the belief that IL was fur
nished by the freshmen class. 1t proved.
however, that the sophomores were in
charge of the hack, and the young women
were driven to the outskirts of the city,
far from the hotel, and detained by the
sophomores until rescued by the juniors
then progressed as planned, and Is pro-
nounced a great success.
