9OPHOMORES SPURN COIN
AND DEMAND MEDALS.
AnQruAuthOPS Of Football Farce Want Promise Kept
Reject Managers Municent Offer of $40 Cash. and Class
Is Split Into Factions Over the Burning Issue.

BERKELEY, Jan. 19.-"Take back
prominent members of the sophomore
class OF the university have made to
Nathaniel Eddy, also a sophomore, who
managed the football show produced
by the class last term.
The three men who rejected Eddy's
proffer of gold are Hans Lisser, Henry
Finch and Harry Rogers. They were
the authors of the football play and
they scorn pay for their services, de-
manding instead that Manager Eddy
shall supply them with medals. These.
they say, were promised the writer's
of the class farce.
The class is divided into factions on
the subject, and the issue has become
a burning one.
lThe football show is annually given
by the sophomore class of the univer-
sity on the night of the day when
Berkeley engages in its annual foot
ball game with Stanford. Last term
the competition among candidates for
the honor of writing the football show
piece was keen. The winners expected
to be rewarded with handsome medals
that should commemorate their vic
tory and their work.
Rogers, Lisser and Finch wrote an
ambitious piece, called 1.-THE Men from
Stanford" 1t was a musical farce,
and so pretentious that the cast hard
ly did its lines and music justice. Hence
the show was not rated as a brilliant
success, though it's merits were un-
questioned.
The authors have waited patiently
:. for their medals, only to be informed
by Manager NAT" Eddy, they say, that
instead of getting the medals they
may divide up $40 as compensation for
their work.
The coin has been refused, the medals
have been demanded, the partisans
have taken sides and the class is now
embroiled IN a hot squabble as the
aftermath of the famous football show.

Committeeman A e. Shaw believed a
better basis would be the vote cast at

election vote would not be fit basis
