 Predatory to the more serious work of the collegiate year. the returned stu dent body turned cut en masse, and in large mass at that, to observe the an nual academic sophomore-freshman rush. Seven o'clock was the hour set for the opening of the proceedings, and, headed by the band and the senior class of 1906, with their traditional torchlights and uncovered heads, the two belligerent classes marched from Osborn hall. the rendezvous, about the central green and back to the campus. There, heath the campus elms, the classes formed the ring TOT the wresl- ling bouts amid college music by the band and cheering.
 When the ring had been formed Cap tain shevliR. or the football team, who acted as referee, with his assistants in the ring, Captain Frank O'Brien, of next years baseball team; Spencer Turner, R. c. Morse, Weekes, Moor head and Edwin White, stepped into the arena and began their call fer rep resentatives. It was some time before any of the bashful freshmen could be induced to display himself as the cyn- osure of rings of many hundreds oi eyes, but finally Mitchell, big, muscu- lar freshie, emerged from the 1909 group and was hailed with loud cheers. Marshall, of 1908, was ready for him, and the two men got right down to work. Mitchell outweighedr the soplc- more by ten pounds, tipping 147 against l37 pounds, and in twenty-five seconds the freshmen roared out shout of ela- ton, for Mitchell had scored fall, Despite his lack of weight, Marshall succeeded in turning the tables in the next bout, scoring clean fall in forty four seconds, In the third bout the two men went the two-minute limit to a draw, leaving the event undecided.
 The middleweight contest was dis play of wrestling such as has not been seen at Yale in years. Both Beinecke, the freshman, and Everhart, the soph- omore, were experienced at the game, and were so beautifully matched that neither was able to score fall from his antagonist in three two-minute bduts
 The result of the two previous matches left the heavyweight event as the deciding contest of the evening. In this class Besw6rth, a candidate for the university football team, proved too much for the freshman Parks and landed two consecutive falls, the first in twelve seconds and the second only two seconds inside the limit. This re- suit gave the victory to the sopho- mores. IF ~..
 Adjournment was immediately taken to York street for the interclass rush. Red lights and blue lights from the freshman abbdes in this freshman street illuminated the thoroughfare. As usual theGstudentts tried pranks upon the trolley cars, but more than one was fooled by the resistance of the trolley guards. One student pulled a trolley from the wire only to have it snap back in its place when he let so.
 One amusing attempt to dampen the ardor of the blue light illuminators oc- cured in the front of the residence next to the Garland, A student on the first floor balcony was placidIy enjoy ing himself welding a stick of blue light when a woman appeared at a sec ond story window armed with a pitch- CT full of water. With malice afore- thought and aim scientifically exact she deposited the water upon the fam ing end of the stick and extinguished the gleam. It was an effective bit of slarpshoting.
 "Billy's," the sophomore cafe on Park street, was, as usual, the prison to which the freshman captives in the rush were hied. There they were put through an amusing course in hazlng.
 Hundreds of New Haveners, male and female, formed an interesting gal lery following the proceedings. By 10 o'clock the students had been broken up into groups to enjoy themselves about town and the class of 1909 had been duly welcomed into Vale
