MANY DISABLED IN
JUNIOR PLUG UGLY
Fierce Fight on the Stanford
Campus Results in Serious
Injury of One Student
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Nov. e.
There We're many sore heads and ach-
ing backs this morning as the result
OF the junior plug ugly last night. So
fierce did the conflict become that at
the conclusion, when the sudden turn
ing off of the electric power left the
quad in darkness and ended the IS min
utes' fight. there were many men, prin-
cipally juniors, in a bad way. The
wounded were carried to the porch of
Stanford inn, just across from the scene
of the contest
Though many were badly hurt. there
was no serious injury except to r. b.
Wheeler. whose condition has not been
fully determined. Wheeler was the
chairman OF the plug ugly committee,
and mixed with the kidnapping parties
that have invaded the hills during the
last few days He was in the thick of
the fight last night and fell under foot
owing 20 the force of one of the senior
charges.
j. II. Messer. another junior. suffered
an attack of heart trouble, but has i'm
proved today. Bert Ball and ]. c. Lake
were badly bruised, but sustained no
dangerous injuries.
Many rumors have been af1oat on the
campus to the effect that this plug ugly
probably would be the last, as it did
not meet with the approval of Presi-
dent Jordan or the student affairs COM
mittee The plug ugly was undoubt-
edly used as a means to avenge many
a personal grievance, and there were
quite a few slugging matches that had
nothing to do with the traditional hats.
Fists were used at random, as many a
face Will bear witness. Although the
juniors lost, the battle viii go down
in Stanford annals as one of the fiercest
ever fought.
