THE UNIVERSITY
A CLASS BATTLE
won BY FRESHMEN
LATTER WIN RIGHT TO WEAR
CLASS HATS.
Wrestling Champions of Each Glass
Struggle Manfully and Are Followed
by Students Who Don Boxing Gloves
and Adorn Each Others Visages
With sombre Spots.

The long expected clash between
the freshmen and sophomores of the
| university over class hats came this
morning. The freshmen of the en-
cheering department appeared in
hats yesterday and the wrath of the
sophomores has been steadily grow
| ing.
At chapel time this morning the
sophs tried to suppress the offensive
| headgear. At the beginning they
had the best of it and gathered in a
large number of sky-pieces, but the
| hats. Not satisfied with holding their
| own, the freshmen sought revenge,
and there was a general mix-up.
After. an hour of trough house." a
| ring was formed ana wrestling cham
pions called for.
| After some delay in finding sopho-
more champions, Tileston '07, and
Billiard '06, both lightWeights, put up
| a long contest which finally went to
the freshman. They were followed
| by Nelson '06. and Cogswell '07, men
1 of slightly heavier build. This
finally called it off because both con-
| testants were exhausted.
| At this stage of the proceedings a
bunch of sOphomores who had left the
fray to attend a class appeared. They
were met by their more enthusiastic
cIaSsIndieS, VINO PROCEEDED TO al
minister the RED OWL degree, which
is somewhat along the lines of ma
ternal discipline.
A ring was again formed and the
gloves We're brought into play. The
first match between Ungerman, '06,
and Scofeld, '07, started well but the
| freshman collided with the soph's ell
bow to the serious detriment Of his
nose and the bout, was stopped by the
referee. Tileston, 07, and Leland.
'06, put up two rounds of clean fast
sparring. The decision was draw.
A sophomore champion now APP
peared in the person of Clement. In
less than minute he had a burly
freshman answering to the name OF
Anderson unfit for further action.
Another freshman, Guesert, larger and
more skillful, was put up and after
| two rounds of speedy work Clement
went down with a rib jolt which put
| him out.
Fahnstock, middle law and Knut-
son, freshman medic, spared two
rounds for points. Decision for
Knutson. Houska, another middle law,
and Smith, freshman, fought two
grounds to draw.
/ The freshmen then drew their hats
from the recesses of their garments
and marched off the campus in tri-
lumphal procession.

officers of the Chinese Reform Society, which
is advocating cutting off queues among other
things. II young Chinaman came to him for
advice he would without hesitation send him
to the BARRIERS for American hair cut. If
you took off his wig however you would find
his own queue tightly rolled around his head.
He is not taking any chances. If the Reform
Society should not succeed, the Chinese who
have sacrificed their queues would find them
selves in an unpleasant situation. So he gives
the movement his support by wearing a wig
and urging others to visit the barber.

years ago Mr.. Chinaman would have you be-

into paradise when he died. Another reason he
gave for not cutting his hair was that it would
