indignant that a mere sophomore
should presume to wear the brand Of

sIvely by junior and seniors at college,
a mob of 100 juniors waylaid c. w.
Lippman at noon to-day as he de-
scended the steps of South Hall and
proceeded with him to the chemistry
pond on the campus, where Lippman's
Objectionable trousers were given a
thorough wetting.
Lippman howled in protest against
the treatment he was receiving and Of
fered to dispossess himself of the cor
duroys if he were spared the ducking
in the pond, which he knew was in
store for him. No such leniency was ac-
corded him. however, the junior be-
lleving that only by ducking Lipp
man while attired in the offensive
trousers could the slight upon the
Junior class be avenged. Lippman
accordingly was led to the brink of
the pond by quartet of husky
juniors and then thrown into the ice
Geld water. The pond was covered
with q scum of emerald hue and this
added to the picturesque appearance
made by the dripping sophomore when
he emerged from the pond.
Now will you be good, soph?"
yelled the juniors in jubilation, and
then came the junior class yell, re-
peated again and again in triumph.
Big jim Force, captain of the
varsity football team, happened along
and, swiftly swooping down on the
crowd. rescued the luckless Lippman
and bade the juniors depart.
Lippman was put to bed to avoid
the possibility of serious results fol-
lowing his involuntary bath. The uni
versity committee on student affairs
was informed of the occurrence but
none of the ringleaders was sum-
moned TO give account of the hazing.
Lippman is a brilliant student, son
of wealthy family. which is promi-
nent in the mercantile life of San Fran
cisco. He came from Lowell High
School to the university and promptly
scored as a student.
