FOOTBALL SCANDAL
THREATENS FARCE
Girl Thespian Refuses to Act
Until Opposite Players
Name Is Cleared

BERKELEY, Nov 21.-Few members
of the junior class outside of those in
the cast of the Junior farce which will
be staged in Ye Liberty theater. Oak
land, knew until today that AS an after
math of the football show several of
the women, principals in the farce. went
on strike last Monday and refused. at
the eleventh hour, to act Junior day
owing to the presence OF George b..
Fields Us leading man in the farce.
Fields has been under investigation
for alleged acts of a disgusting nature
at the football show following the big
game, and had not the student afairs
committee fully exonerated him yester-
day junior day festivities would have
been rank failure and the farce
would probably not have been staged.
MISS STAFFORD OBJECTS
Fields was cast for the leading mas
culine role in the farce, and playing
opposite him was Miss Leigh Staf-
ford, considered one of the brightest
of the student thespians. When Fields
name was connected with the obJec-
tionable scenes at the football show
after the big game last Saturday Miss
Stafford stamped her foot and declared
that she did not propose to act on the
same stage with Fields or any other
whose name had been mentioned in con-
nectioh with the unsavory features of
the football show.
Miss Stafford stood her ground and
several of the other women of the cast
followed her lead The matter was
placed in the hands of Mrs. G.. c. Tor
rey, dean of woman students. Fields
temporarily withdrew from the cast
pending a statement from the stu
dent affairs committee of investiga-
tion.
The end of the inquiry came yester-
day afternoon when a letter was
read at the rehearsal by A. c. Prem
dergast, chairman of the farce COM
mittee, to the effect that the student
affairs committee did not hold Fields
responsible for casting discredit on
the university by any alleged acts at
the football show.
PEACE MAY BE RESTORED
The letter of the committee ap-
peased the women, and it is probable
now that Miss Stafford Will continue
to rehearse for the part of Dorothy
in the junior day farce. Manager
Prendergast admits, however, that he
does not know whether the matter has
been definitely settled or not, al
though Miss Stafford has intimated
that she will play.
Without her and Fields the farce
could not be staged, as arrangements
have about been perfected for the
staging of the play, and at the elev-
enth hour no available understudies
could be secured.
The farce selected by the juniors
for presentation this year is from the
pen of Miss Rose Gardner and is en-

BERKELEY, Nov. 21.-Three months
of steady rushing on the part of the
Greek letter societies of the women of
the university was ended last night. A
partial list of the neophytes of the
various sororities was announced to-
day. The battle for desirable members
for the societies has been a merry one,
waged with teas, balls, receptions,
dinners and other social events, with
out cessation for more than 90 days.
The rushing" this year was con-
Quoted under the revised Pan Hellenic
rules and proved so unsatisfactory that
the regulations binding the sororities
to rush in certain prescribed ways will
be revised.
Competition was so keen that the
Greek letter societies did not sit idly
by and size up" their prospective
members, but took steps to bring them
into the fold before they were looked
upon as prospective neophytes of other
organizati tions.
These are the freshmen who have
been pledged up to date, with another
day left for responses:
