FRESHMEN GET FIRST DEGREE

1t was with fear and trembling that
the obedient freshmen answered the
summons for -four o'clock on Thurs
day afternoon. There were large ones,
there were small ones, there were un-
ruly ones, there were submissive ones.
Some said 81 won't and Il don't have
to-" while others said I'm scared to-"
One poor innocent little one was heard
threatening to put an end to this life
by diving h%eadlong from a third story
window rather than appear before the
haunting throng of upperclassmen.
Nevertheless, at the appointed time
came one and all of the accused to re-
ceive their just deserts. AS Mr.. Lax
son called the names, they stepped
into the center of the circle. AS soon
as the victims We're all assembled they
gave nine Rails, for the freshmen TO
help them keep up their downcast
spirits. Now Mr.. Laxson announced
that the first number should be the
yellow and Blue" by the entire
chorus. They hesitated but a few mo-
ments and then all joined in singing
the song in due style. This ended, the
girls were turned over to Chairman
Kate Caldwell who ushered half of
them to the Miltonian Hall, and half
to the C%ollegian office where they
found brooms and dust cloths for their
use. How they did hustle! In a few
moments the Collegian Office was
transformed. Much obliged freshies,
you're good sports.)
At the same time, the dust vas fly
ing on the fourth floor of Old North. A
little persuasion was necessary once
in a while to keep this bunch busy, but
they kept at it until the hall was spic
and span.
While all this excitement was going
on the boys from the upper classes
formed a line for the padding ma
chine out on the campus. Whack,
Whack, sounded the paddles as the
line of unruly freshman boys passed
through. ut doesn't last long" a
freshie was heard to remark, but its
right smart while 1t does last"
If you like the performance, come
again at 5 o'clock next Thursday after
noon and bring your friends.-Colleg-
ian.

Making Good Progress

Who said State Championship? With
n of the strongest football teams in
the history of ~Brookings high school
the predictions favor the locals.
And not to disappoint the dopesters
in the least, Brookings high defeated
the Madison high football team in the
first game of the season last Saturday
by the decisive score of 26 to O..
If the Kaiser's famous s~ixteen-inch
siege gun ever had anything on the
Bookings high back field when it
comes to battering heavily fortified
positions, the German war college will
have to show the local high. Satur-
day afternoon the grid-iron gladiators
of the red and black net the strong
men Of Madison high on State field.
Captain Severson started things to
going by making a run Of fifty yards
for a touchdown in the first few min
utes of play and from that on the limit
placed upon the Brookings touchdown
machine was the time of the periods.
Madison might have scored if Coach
Gillespie's men had all dropped dead
in their tracks, but this did not happen
and the final score registered 26 for
the locals and a goose egg for the
visitors.
The bleachers at State field were
we'll filed with ardent admirers of the
local heroes, just bursting to show
how much they could appreciate a win
ming team, and when they perceived
that Gillespie and Smith, the Brook
ings mentors, were in command of a
machine worthy of the highest patron
age, they were in a fair way to go bug
house with delight. The victory itself,
however, was by no means as import
ant as the weakness shown by both
teams throughout the entire game, but
will have a team this season that will
compare favorably with other teams
of her class.
Lack of space forbids personal men,
ton Of individual plays, but all played
well considering this being the first
game of the season. Severson, Ken
nard and Alton made a good showing
and kept Madison worried at all times.
Brorby of the visiting team delighted
the spectators with his h.adlong line
bucking and the vehement name in
which he repulsed the alleged line
smashes of the other, but esteemed
rival. The lineup was as follows:
