SOPHOMORE CLASS SUSPENDED
Statement by Colonel Ira l.. Reeves,
Pres. of Norwich University


Sometime between and 2 o'clock
a. m, Wednesday, May "a, the Sopho-
more class Of Norwich University
hazed six members Of the Freshman
class by dipping them into fountain,
and causing them TO run the gaunt-
let." strapping them with leather belts
barrel slaves, and paddles. | learned
Of what had taken place at o'clock
that morning, and proceeded at once
TO investigate the matter. found
that the so-called strapping had been
in two cases extremely severe and
painful, although iaficting no serious
injury. Some newspaper accounts al
alleging that some Of the men hazed
were required to go to the hospital
were inaccurate.
Hazing is prohibited by the rules
and regulations Of Norwich University
although cases of it have broken out
from time to time, but this was the
first instance brought to my attention
since | came to the University Nov.
LIST, 1915. After thoroughly investi-
eating the matter / decided that moth
ing short of the most rigid disciplin-
ary measure would be adequate. The
faculty was summoned for special
session on the morning of Tuesday,
May 25, and the matter was present
ed to them. The faculty agreed with
my view of the situation, and reso
luton was passed dismissing all mem.
bers of the Sophomore class who were
on probation, and indefinitely suspend
ing the remainder of the class.
Previous to this action the Sopho-
more class had held a meeting al
which resolutions were passed, pledg
ing the members to stand together.
The faculty could interpret this posi-
ton in no other way than that Of def
lnce, although most of the members
Of the class were respectful in all their
relations, and with the exception Of
heir attitude in this matter, as fully
lnder the routine discipline as cadets
If the other classes. The faculty held
hat there was no question about the
Justice of a rule against hazing, and
hat, since the Sophomore class had I
'iolated it, and further, had decided
o stand together in the matter, moth ;
ng short of disciplinary action against {
he entire class would prove to be I
ldequate.
Out of the thirty members of the {
lass three were dismissed and 27
suspended. Twenty-four
lave made application to be reinstat- (
d. One of the dismissed members has
made application for reconsideration
f his case. At meeting of the fac {
lty held May 81, 18 of the applica-
ions for reinstatement were acted on, s
lacing the applicants on probation
ntil July /, 1917. The remaining ap- +
lications were tabled. 1t is not likely @
hey will receive further consideration \
ntil sometime next college year. !

Salem and Newberg
Kick Scoreless Game

Nothing to nothing was the score
piled up by the Salem high school foot
ball team Saturday afternoon against
the Newberg high school aggregation.
1t was the second game of the season
but both teams were in good condition
and failed to score. Salem high showed
no'littIe speed throughout the game but
was unable to send the ball over the
line. Newberg fought hard but was
compelled to punt six or eight times to
get out of difficult positions Fumbles
apparently were the cause of the lack of
score. Salem ploughed through to the
five and the three yard line several
times but at the critical moment would
tumble the ball.
On Friday the Salem team plays Tilla-
nook high school. The team will leave
here Thursday and return Saturday.

weighed and outclassed by the Dallas
boys and were unable to resist the
weight of the Polk county team.

Nebraska Too Strong
for @. A. c. Eleven

Portland, Ore. Oct. 23.-Right Half
back Tuffy Conn showed the stalwart
Cornhuskers how to run 10l yards for
a touchdown on Multnomah field Sat
urday afternoon, but the artful little
dodger of the Oregon Aggies couldn t
beat the entire University OF Nebraska
team, and the easterners took the inter
sectional football classic, II to Z.
Nothing like Conn's run has been
seen in Portland in years. 1t was just
at the opening of the second quarter
and Galley was siding over his Aggies
line for what would have been the Corn
huskers' second touchdown, when the
oval slipped out of his hands and into
the waiting paws OF Tuffy, who was
preparing to dive into the easterner.
The fleet footed Aggie was already in
motion toward the Nebraska goal line
when Galley recovered from his stumb-
ling.
Carried Signs on Back.
Racing down the west side line, the
California freshman hit gait that ear
ried him one after another out of reach
of his red -ierseyed pursuers. Gardner
was the last man remaining in the sprint
after the flying Aggie, but had he
known in advance that Tuffy can do
the quarter in 80 seconds any old day,
he would not have wasted so much
breath. lso, Mr.. Tuffy Conn, of Pasa
dena, the home of the millionaires, wore
large "23" sewed on his broad young
back and that in itself should have
been warning enough to Mr.. Gardner ct
al of Nebraska.
Plucking the hurting ball out of the
sky one yard behind his own goal line,
the Pasadenan made record run of 1Ol
yards between goal lines. 1t will go
down in history with Dow Walkers ia
nous run for the Aggies against Oregon
in 1905, which, too, was not enough to
give forth victory.
