According to the police authorities the
football celebration of Saturday nlgnt
was the toughest in many years. AT
the Hyperion the students started In
early to raise a rough house, and II
looked at one time as if the show must
,be stopped The manager ordered the
curtain down, and made a speech IN
which he said that the play would not
20 on unless the throwing of confetti
was stopped. The only result was an
increased shower of confetti. He then
called upon Timothy L, Woodruff, a
Yale graduate, who occupied box, to
use his influence with the college men.
The former lieutenant governor OF New
York state made an excellent address
from the box, and his words had a
quieting effect en- the students. No fur
Their trouble was encountered, and the
play was fnished-an unusual thing on
the night of the annual football game
The students in the gallery carried on
the costumary flirtations with the pref
ty girls in the parquet all through the
performance.
At the New Haven theater things
did not 60 SO smoothly. Sergeants Do
herty and Gibson who had charge OF
large force of men at this theater made
a desperate effort to keep confetti ou
of the house, and everyone who hat
bullying pockets was searched before HI
was allowed admittance to the theater
despite this the throwing began as sool
as the curtain rose for the first act
and continued without interruption un
til the close Of the play, which was Gu
, short on this account. In seyera
scenes the players were driven from
the stage by the showers of confetti.
AT the two houses of Mr., Poll Their
was no rough house to speak of, an
the plays were carried through Withou
r interruption or cutting.
