cision was not based on any predeter-

a draw were judged to favor slightly
the sophs. The freshmen won the flag
rush, but an important feature of the
rush was that the flag was so secure
ly nailed to the pole before the rush
that they haven't yet been able to re-
move it. The major event was the keg
rush. In which there was much room
for display of united strength and
little opportunity for strategy. Neither
class had much success on the tie-up.
