SIGMA DEBTS WON.
Defeated BetaS in Sorority Relay
Race at Washburn.

The relay team representing the
Sigma Delta Psi sorority at Washburn
ran away with the silver loving cup
last night, defeating the Beta team by
half lap of the gym track.
Most of the runners in this society
event had never seen a sorority girl
before and had been selected because
they could run-and they ran as they
this half mile race was 1:47 2-5. The
same runners a little later in the in
terclass relay could not beat 1851.
All of which goes to show what
runners sleeve. But the ribbon
wasn't all. The sorority rivalry is one
of the greatest things in the college
and their shrieks and shrills reverber-
ated IN the rafters of the gymnasium
and inspired the hearts of the run
ners.
And when it was over and everyone
turned to see if his chair was still be-
| hind him, the victorious sorority sank
down to recover from their near heart
| failure and sighed joyously, "Oh-h,
and We get perfectly adorable loving
cup to put on our piano and they
| will engrave our letters on it. Oh-h
| (agafn) can you imagine it, girls?''
But the track meet was the really
| important part of the evening, though
| not the spectacular. Director Driver
was trying out his athletes on indoor
/ events for an indication of what they

| of every college, took the meet with
J &c points. The seniors were second
