BERKELEY, Nov. 6.-Samuel Hume,
yell-leader of the university, a crack
athlete and the principal amateur
actor of the college, created a sensa-
tion last night by twice gaining en-
trance to Hearst hall, where the wo-
men students of the university. many
of them arrayed in tights while inn
personating male characters, were con-
Quoting a dress rehearsal of "As You
Like It,"
Hume's presence, as an auditor and
spectator, alarmed the "co-eds," who
were supposed to be exempt from pry-
ing males. Hume was known to al
most all of the maidens on the stage,
because Of his prominence in college
activities, and they shrieked in dis
may when scouts brought word to the
stage that Hume was in the building.
A delegation of girls at once waited
upon the intruder and requested him
to leave. Hume apparently complied
with the request.
Instead of leaving, however, he made
a flank move, gained access to the
wings of the stage, and through an
aperture surveyed the girl students in
tights, as they pirouetted over the
( stage He was again discovered and
the indignant girls stationed guards at
every entrance to the hall The re-
hearsal was then resumed. The uni
versity authorities were informed of
the affair and they have the exploit
under consideration.

minor characters in the play. The

Sam Hume escorted sorority girl
TO the hall, saw her safely behind the
stage door and then worked his own
way into the audience room.
1T was a lark" said Hume today
<and nothing more 1 see that the
girls all decline to speak to me to-
day They are welcome to revenge

talk about II, but I don't suppose il
will amount to anything more serious
than talk
