According to announcement, there

match at Carleton College last Fri
day night. This is the most sensi'

were nearly forty on each side,
headed by Miss Chandler and Miss
Osterlie. The boys were all dressed
as boys and the girls were little
school girls with their hair braided
in two pig tails. The old fashioned
blue back speller was the weapon
used to down the victims, who fell
fast, and.T. Is. Chandler stood last,
going down on cantharis. Among
the last six remaining on the floor
for while was Roy Gilliland, the

cope with hard words. 1t was quite
