NO BLOODSHED MARKS.TAP DAY
 AT YALE CAMPUS
First Man Tapped for Bones Re- fuses Election and Another
 Tapped in InfIImary

1 breth, of Woodmere, L. l., manager of | the freshmen track team and of the | Yale Calendar, the first man to be
 tapped for Skull and Bones, on the campus yesterday afternoon, promptly refused an election to the leading sen 1 for secret society and chose Scroll and l Keys. for which he had been slapped 1 at the same time
 K1lbreth's action was the one sen | sationaI episode of a tap day. otherwise i devoid of exciting features, but crowd- ed with incidents of special s1gniff- canoe.
 1 The effect of the sophomore protest 1 against tap day and the senior socie- manner of conducting the ceremony, 1 but in the personnel of the forty-five l juniors selected by the three organi- l zattons. Instead of the sombre black 1 clothing. ties and derbies which they have worn on tap day since it became an institution nearly half g. century ago, the seniors who made bil1boards of the favored juniors backs appeared in variegated clothing and ties and hatless. The bones men carried in forrnality to the wearing of negligee shirts.
 Many of the sophomore fprotestants, who saw the ceremony from their dor I nitories, told a reporter that they re- garded the men elected as the most representative forty-five juniors ever
  for societies. They construe this cir cumstance as the granting of their de- mand. Dean Jones said that the af- fair was conducted to his entire sat isfaction.
 Hundreds of freshmen and sopho~ moree, however, ignored the request of Dean Jones to keep away from the campus during the ceremony. The freshmen massed themselves in front of Wright Hall, their dornitory, or leaned out of windows. from which few fair faces peered, although there were no women on the campus proper. The Sophomores kept to the rooms or stood outside the campus gates.
 Dean Jones seemed surprised as he entered the campus just before the ceremony and saw the lower classmen in defiant array. Campus policemen went among them and enjoined order, and throughout they maintained a si- 1ence which was tense. The entire proceedings were 1ul1ing rather than exciting, although there was an occa- siona1 burst of acclaim as an especially popular man was tapped" No one not a Yale man profaned the campus by his intrusion except university em- ployes.
 Quickly after Ki1breth was tapped simultaneously. for Bones and Keys, Thomas L. Daniels of Minneapolis. Minn. chairman of the Junior Prom enade Committee, was slapped for the two societies. Daniels at once threw his election to Keys and accepted one to Bones, thus taking a little of the edge off Kilbreth's refusal
 KiIbreth asserted his independence by coming to Yale. Many of his rel atives are college men, and all have gone to Harvard. His family wanted him to go there, and because he re- fused he has had to work his way at Yale.
 All three societies chose an uncon1- monly large proportion of men on the merit of scholarship and literary ef- fort Eight Phi Beta Kappa men were taken, three of these high standing students going to Bones, three to Wolf's Head and two to Keys. Bones took eight athletes and Keys three.
 Frederick George Blackburn, of Pittsburg, Pa. assignment editor of the Yale News and substitute coxs- TFain of the crew, was tapped" for Wolfs Head as he lay i'll from ty- phoid in the Yale Infirmary.
 The ceremany began at five o'clock and was finished in fifteen minutes. when the men elected had returned to the campus from their rooms, where they went for Instructions after being tapped
 The forty-fve men were tapped in the following order:
