Themselves Heard.
MISS GLASER GETS BOUQUET
Pennsylvania Avenue Made Lively
by Collegians From Georgetown
and University of Virginia

'S>
the hundreds of students Of Georgetown
and of Virginia, the thousands Of rooters
who wore the colors of either university
and the horde of near-students who took
the opportunity to break loose with that
vociferousness which marks all foot ball
celebrations say last night was one Of the
noisiest they ever spent.
Following the sridiron contest between
the old rivals, Georgetown and Virginia,
and with a 9-to-0 victory to their. credit,
the young men Of Georgetown swooped
down from the Hilltop after night had
fallen on the hay-covered field where
Fury and Costello had dashed Virginia &
hopes to bits. and turned Pennsylvania
avenue and T. street into bowling lanes
of excitement.
1t was prophetic band on the George
town side yesterday afternoon which
played "A Hot Time in the Old Town
Tonight" for it turned out to be a very
warm evening
After Virginia's famous mascot pig had
been chased off the field by the George
town bulldog, and after q Virginia dog
had engaged in battle with his George
town rival, the 1000 people who wit
messed the classic battle in the Hilltop
ner most of them went downtown again.
The biggest crowd went to the Colum-
bia Theater. where the rival teams had
arranged to go. and where there was
more cheering than performance. a cir
cumstance which made 1t necessary to
cut all dialogue out OF the show and
confine the performance only to music
1t wasn't a bit of use for the stage
players to talk. The mob of students.
both universities being represented in
lot
players know that the audience would
attend to the dialogue. In about ten min
uteS after the curtain rose on the first
act, the performance had turned into a
conversation between audience and
actors, with the audience in the lead.
Miss CHASER Makes Hit.
The one big hit Of the evening was
the appearance of Miss Lulu CHASER with
the colors Of both universities. Those
noisy boys ripped out locomotive cheers.
and It was fully five minutes before Miss
Chaser could get them to stop.
In the face Of this sort of greeting, the
players had a difficult problem. but they
faced it without qualm. What the boys
objected to seriously was the habit one
of the men in the show had of making
love to one of the women of the show.
Cut 1t out. Don't dc It. Let her
alone. they shouted, and broke up love
scene after love scene. A girl in a Scotch
plaid skirt bounded on the stage.
''Oh. you Scotch baby DOLL some one
shouted, and the house took 1t up with q
vim, regardless of the fact that the
Scotch lassie in question had message
for the audience in the shape of q Little
song. They had 1t in for a long-legged
man who had something or other to do

calling him Steve. and shouted all sorts
of directions at him, which conficted vio-
lently with the rules of propriety.
Policemen Look Busy.
However, IL the players could stand il
the audience could. Several large po
licemen stood around looking ready te
be called upon, and once one OF them
started to arrest a particularly noisy
young person in the middle Of the house
Just as he was about to perform this
onerous duty large man, recognized at
member Of the Georgetown faculty
tapped the policeman on the shoulder.
After the whispered conversation which
followed. the policeman returned to his
previous post of duty. looking as ready
to be called on as ever.
1t was In the third act that the folks
in the gallery began to go the students
one better. They caught on to the fact
that they might as well have little
fun, too. and began to toss their pro-
grams, rolled into balls, upon the stage
A Georgetown man tossed bunch of
Violets to the star. who seemed very
pleased to get it and bowed and smiled.
About this time some one began yelling
for Costello to make a speech The IA
nous little player tried to accommodate
the audience and climbed to the ledge of
the box IN which he was sitting. But
friends pulled him down backward in a
hurry. The Virginia team, seated in the
boxes on the right Of the house, spent q
quiet evening, except during an internais-

They showed true appreciation by nearly

Avenue Is Lively.
Meantime. Pennsylvania avenue was the
scene Of much excitement. Many and
many a sporty young man who had never
been west of Rock creek bought George
town arm bands for his coat and paraded
with his friends, also provided with q
college for the evening. 1t was grand
evening for blowing in weeks wages.
and the Intercollegiate was noisier by
far than the real thing. Some of these
learned the Georgetown cheers and ut

but the real thing was easily distin-
