matics" and the "Aliphatics." The for
mer consisted of the seniors present,
while the latter was composed OF the
juniors and initiates.
According to rule, the teams were al
lowed to perform three experiments in or
der to retain the ''molecule." Touch
downs were called CONDENSATION pro-
ducts" and all signals and formations
were given through the use Of chemical
fromulae and equations. The "Aldehyde
formation" proved itself to be most eff
cient in the advancing interests Of sci
ence Captain Brown Of the "Aromatics"
led his team to victory over the "Alpna-
ties led by Captain Hooper. Brawn's
team condensed the 'benzene ring" three
times Hack" Currier settled all disputes
on theories as to the success of expert
ments.
