Football Game 10 Decide Supremacy
OF Glasses ut Augustana
College.

Total suspension of freshman oph-
omore hostilities and the substitution
of an inter-class football game as the
arhiter Of supremacy between the two
. classes was decreed yesterday morn
ing at Augustana college in joint
meeting Of the freshman and sopho-
more boys Immediately after the chap
el service. President Gustav A. An
dreen requested that the men Of both
classes meet with him after chapel
and i'm brief discussion showed them
. that Haziug was not only going out Of
! fashion all over the country. but that
il resulted i'm the destruction OF prop
ertv for which the president of the
college received all the blame. II.
Berg then proposed the substitution Of
the pigskin for the inter-class struggle
and the proposition was accepted
unanimously. committee of three
from each class will be appointed to
confer with President Andreen and it
is expected that the game Will be
soon arranged for.
Suspension of inter-class demon
STATIONS was first fairly inaugurated
last year, although the football game
has been an annual event for many
ever, has been on the decline and has
come TO center more and more on the
gridiron clash as the teams from the
two classes have been growing stron-
ger.
This year the game promises to be
almost OF the proportions of an inter
collegiate game itself, as both classes
are Boosting of a large number of
heavy-set siX-f0Oters that are doped
out to be as good material as has been
seen for a long time and the unusually
large number of experienced men
seems sufficient warrant for two all
star teams from the two classes. FOrs-
berg from the soph headquarters and
Carlson on the freshman side, are two
OF the longest examples in the game
and Kendall and Swedberg are rivals
in the speed line. In respect of all
around weight, however. il must be
conceded that the freshies hang II on
the sophs and It will not be altogether
surprising if the younger men take the
pennant.
The next step, of course, will be to
meet the strong Independent team that
Augte has been building up for a few
years. The cream Of the school is on
this team and If the winner of the
reshman-sophomor class can take
this squad into camp it may expect to |
go some. Such names as Samuelson |
and Valentine, Swedberg and Fors- !
ling have become very well known in |
tri-city gridirOn circles and IL Is ad- |
mitted that they constitute a fast and /
well-Organized crew.
Meanwhile, the tennis tournament |
has begun in dead earnest and the pre- |
lIminary games have shown that the
opponents have in all cases been well /
matched. Ten Of the q groups of en-
tries have already played the deciding
three games and placed the winners
that much nearer the finals The win
