STUDENTS PAINTED YELLOW.
Vigorous Glass Scrap Takes Place at
Iowa city-No Vandalism.
/. /. rrN,,,ac pap,,b1icop

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa city Dec. "a free for all
class scrap and night Of rip roaring
good fun without the destruction of
property or any serious bodily injury
was the joint water trough party OF
Sophs and Freshies held Monday even.
ing The center of disturbance was
the corner of Washington and Du-
buque streets, a spot handy to two
watering troughs which were used
frequently during the, mix-up. For
the steenth time this year the Fresh
men were victors and today the Soph-
omores are appearing adorned with
war-paint similar to that with which
they coated the Freshmen the night
of the bread and milk sociable at the
Hostetler Imperial, as the second year
men termed the function held by the
domesticated invertebrates. The
Freshmen showed the '06 men wheth-
er or not they had backbone last night.
The Sophs look particularly sad to-
day as it was at their invitation that the
Freshies came out to be cleaned A
challenge in the shape of a yellow
doiger appeared late in the afternoon
in f1aring letters, yellow Freshies.
Where are your posters? Where Is
your nerve? You cheap invertebrates.
Get in the game. Come out tonight
and show your water blood. Do you
fear the cold water in the tank. you
unclean cads? What do you think this
Is, a Sunday school? Back UP, lay
down."
The Freshmen came out and got in
the game, but they didn't get in the
water tanks. But the Sophs did. For
some reason the Freshmen wanted
one man In particular who halls from
"Bills home town, Iowa Falls. Mr.. A.
Bum, Steer They accredited him
with the brilliancy of the yellow dodg-
er idea and thought an ice bath would
brighten him up. Mr. Steer was
forthwith given a ragged haircut,
adorned with iodine and ducked in
water. trough. Several other Sophs
met similar fates.
While there was quite bunch of
slugging, few participants lost their
heads. It was distinctly a class scrap
and not a personal affair. Very few
soreheads mixed in the good natured
rough house. One town fellow who
was playing the role of Hogan's Goat
butted In once too often and came up
minus few front teeth. The night
police, though sorely tempted, did not
mix. A young Freshman named Coyle
displayed much backbone and nerve
to prove that the Freshies are not
yellow. The Sophomore color at
present is matter of conjecture. If
not yellow there is streak Of light
orange somewhere.
