TIED GIRLS TO TREES.
But Juniors Were Only "Paylns Back
LutherviIie Seniors.
From the Baltimore Sun, April 20.

From the Baltimore Sun, April 20.
Tied to leahess trees and cold, hard posts at
the ghostly, CHASTITY hour of 8 a. m. Thursday,
II seniors of the Maryland College for Women
at Lutherville, watched the JUROR class hold
their annual feast on the campus, while several
members of the faculty stood by trying in vain
to interfere.
1t certainly was cruel of those 40 juniors
who sat down to the spread in the glare OF
lamps and Japanese lanterns guaranteed to
keen away all spooks and monsters OF the
mysterious darkness but the seniors brought
it all on themselves. One of the main things
in college-particularl one where young
women are educated-is the upholdlng OF ira
ditions, and it was the desire of the juniors to
do 80 when the seniors brought the trouble
about.
For wears it has been the custom for each
class. in its Junior year, to hold 'feed" be-
tween midnight and dawn. There was moth
ing left for the juniors 10 do this year but carry
out the old custom. They agreed that the
feast should be held Thursday morning In the
"wee SINAI" hours, when the ''bugaboo'
hovers about and melodramatic villains steal
nretty Young girls 1t was daring thing to
do, but they did it. With hearts beating like
triphammers they made their way to their
beds.
Thew little dreamed that the watchful seniors
we're on the trail, but at the appointed time
when each junior was to display her nerve
each found the door to the room locked.
Soon the fertile minds reasoned out the situa-
ton. They had been tricked, real meanly,
too. 1t was deep.laid plot, and the seniors
were responsible they knew. "Gumshoe
methods were resorted to. Locks were plcked
in the stiffness of the early morning with
cleverness which would battle even real de-
tectiye, The more daring climbed out win
dows and made their way to the campus by
the outside route.
When the class had assembled the sweet
| meats and good things were spread upon the
| campus and the lamps and lanterns were
lighted. AS soon as the Juniors had fixed
themselves comfortably about their improvlsed
| table the seniors dashed upon them with
whoop that stirred the old college walls.
Then there was battle. 1t was short, but
| interesting. The juniors outnumbered the
| upper.class women and were soon dragging
their captives off to convenient trees and posts
From the points of their captivity the seniors
| not only suffered the pangs created by squlnt
at goodies Just beyond their reach, but the
taunts of the juniors were anything but pie as
| ant. ,
Members of the faculty we're awakened and
they really wanted to break up the f teas II Is
| said, but there were 40 juniors. When the
| food had disappeared and the classwomen
felt they had sufficiently lowered the prestige
of the seniors they released their captlves.
But before the bonds were loosened each
| senior was forced to promise to behave In the
| future.
Miss Margaret Hull, daughter of Mr.; Cor.
nelius Hull, of near this city, is member OF
the Junior class.

Athletic Meeting at MT. Washington.

Judging from the amount of interest that is
being displayed by the students of the four
colleges holding membership In the Maryland
intercollegiate Athletic Association in the
third annual meet Saturday at Mt Washington
Clubs grounds, there is no doubt that it will
be one OF the greatest meets ever held III Bal
tImore and will far surpass the two previous
affairs.
There are more men training at each college
than ever before answered the coaches call
for candidates, and each college will be re-
presented by the full number of men allowed
i'm each event. which has been limited to three
from each college.
ST. Johns College won the banner last year,
and the students are determined to do all in
their power to win it again this year. The
boys at Western Maryland College are not
going to lose by reason of lack of training and
interest, as they have large number OF new
men trying for the various events. Washing
ton College and the Maryland Agricultural
College will be represented by teams that will
bear watching, as the students at these two
colleges have been putting in lots of hard
work in their efforts to develop good men, and
from all accounts they will be in position to
give some of the sure things from the other
colleges few jolls
ST. Johns will be represented by their relay
team that made such good record during the
indoor season-Wartield Mudd, Harrison D.
Crawford and j. Harrison-in the 100 yard
dash, A. Nj. Stevens and Harrison in the 22O-
yard dash. Those of the relay team will be
entered in the 440 yard run, H. Huison and
r. l.. Gait in the $50 yard run and ". Ii.
Tarbert in the mile. These men have all
made good i'll these events in open meets, and
with the help of several new candidates the
rooters feel that everything is over but the
shouting.
Western Maryland College will have their
relay team as a nucleus rs Brown, Rouzer,
Turner and Marcus will all be seen in the
senior relay race and in the various runs. In
Marcus, who has done such good work over
the high hurdles, the boys feel sure of first
place in this event, while Adams is counted
upon to win the pole vault.
The novice events will prove as interesting
as the senior events, and the committee in
charge of the meet has been praised on all
sides for adding these features to the program.
The committee in charge of the meet is c.
S. Richardson, chairman; James A. Fechtig,
Jr., o. S. Tiffany, Clarence l.. Perkins and
DR.. William Grant, secretary.
