The great game between the freshmen
and sophomores was pulled on yes.
lterday afternoon OH Bynum Field. Tfa
result was tie. neither side being
able to score. The game proved to b<
very interesting. both sides having
good teams. which were very we'll
matched. The sophomore team was
somewhat heavier than that OF tho
freshmen. but thin was made up for by
the superior training OF the fresh
men,.
The freshmen played we'll all through
the Eame, keeping tho ball in the
sophomores' territory ncarly all the
first half and n good part OF the last
half Their interference was almost
perfect, and 1t was this that enabled
them to put up better game than
their opponents. Their tackling WAS
also good. Tho sophomores showaa
their lack OF training. but they played
1nrd and with determination.
This leaves the class championship
OF the college between the freshmen
and the seniors, both of these teams
having the same percentage. They will
play n game MONDAY 10 decide the
championship.

rule should be abolished. 1t was moved
that committee be appointed to see
what could be done toward securing
i Its abolition. and the motion was unnn.
imously carried. President Parker
accordingly appointed committee OF
three representative students to confer
with President Yenabls and the other

| At last tennis promises To take its

nor the athletic association has taken
any interest in the affairs OF the tennis

The scrub football team. with about
twenty members. left this afternoon
for Asheville, where they will play thu
