victories forged by Virginia for the past
five football seasons. Georgetown stu
dents took the freedom of the city last
night, and celebrated hilariously. Nor
was Virginia such a bad loser that 1t did
not see the fun Virgini astudents joined
in the celebration and a night OF student
meTymaking held hrst place in The in
terests OF the citizens.
Hotels. theaters. clubs, cafes, eating
houses. and all places of amusement
were scenes OF ''sky-larking."
Just how many hats were broken dur

but that there were enough minus rims
and brims at the close of the jarnboree

not join in the evenings fun.
In the cafes there were many clashes
between Virginia and Georgetown stu
dents. Sometimes a Georgetown enthu-

Every theater in the city was crowded

bers of the Georgetown and Virginia
teams sat in opposite boxes, and their
college pals sat m the orchestra below.

"girlies. Just before the curtain drop

jumped upon the stage and held like

until the curtain dropped.
One OF the "yirlies' tainted and an
other retaliated with her newly-mani-
