 With quite their usual inaccuracy the city press had extended and glow
 
 campus last Friday night following the first fall of the season. It was a real fight which started over in the sophomore-fr corner of the campus about 10 o'clock that night, with about a couple of inches of snow on the ground and the storm at it's height The opportunity was too good to be lost and freshmen from Wright and sophomoFes from Durfee and the other halls piled out and for an hour and a half filled the air with fylng balls until, in fact, they had to stop for that corner of the campus had been practically cleared of available snow and if in intervals when they became tired of throwing at each other, the volleys were turned toward inviting open windows up in the dor mitories, and sometimes to windows that were not open, not over a dozen panes were shattered, notwithstanding the hundred or more that appeared in the New Haven papers next day. It's quite true that one ' ale professor was waylaid in the battle. Prof. Clarence Wendell, one of the younger members and a popular one. of the Latin de- partment lives in Durfee, as proctor, and to carry out his duties of quelling the several hundred students outside his windows, he came down. But no farther than the door. The superior ity of numbers counted here, in snow balls and in right arms, and the pro- lessor was right handsomely lombard ed.
 The New Haven police. of course, could not interfere in any such cam pus warfare, which. by the way, seem ed to the crowd of uppeTclassmen and other workers to be twice as spirited as any Washington's birthday rush. But on Tuesday. a group of seniors got out on the roof of Vanderbilt and began to drop little reminders of the Ic af fynA sive passersby-not promiscuously, naturally-but on those they thought would appreciate them. Among this number were the policemen. The up shot was that a special patrol of six cops came sneaking up through the campus shortly after and invaded the dormftory. and, as usual, they found onlv a. condition of utter peace. -
